AUTHOR'S POV;Damon sat at the head of the table, his brow furrowed in deep contemplation, as Victor and the elders voiced their concerns about Ariana's true intentions.The room was filled with tension, the air heavy with suspicion and doubt."I understand your apprehensions," Damon began, his voice calm yet firm."But we cannot jump to conclusions without concrete evidence. Ariana has pledged her allegiance to Nightshade, and we must honour that until proven otherwise."Victor, the staunchest sceptic among them, shook his head adamantly. "I cannot trust her, Damon.She has deceived us once; who is to say she will not do so again? We cannot afford to be naive."The elders murmured in agreement, their expressions reflecting Victor's sentiments. They had seen the devastation caused by betrayal before, and they were not willing to risk it again.Damon sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "I understand your concerns, but we cannot let fear cloud our judgment.Ariana ha
"Do you know who that woman was? or where she lives?" I asked the guards, who shook their heads negatively, making me take a deep breath."She is really so strange, and I must really find out what made her that strange, and the strange scent coming from her too," I thought within me, not being able to voice it out."Alpha, do you want us to help you fish her out?" One of the guards asked me, making me sighed softly, as I kept calm for a while."No, you don't have to worry about that, I will do it myself, when I'm ready," I told them, while they just bowed, before I finally started walking away.Time was running out, and my kids and Brian needed me back, so I just had to focus on how to get them for now, and nothing else.I thought within myself, as I started walking on, while they continued following behind me.I was already so frustrated with the fact that they are always following me, so I would have to do something about it as Soon as possible.I thought within me as I finally wal
"Guards are always following her, because the council members insisted that they needed it for the safety of the pack." Damon tried to explain to him, but he was proving so stubborn.I really don't know what more to do at this moment, and I'm really so fed up with all the nonsense that they are doing in this Pack.I really can't believe that I was the one that single handedly built the Pack to how it is now. But I was being treated this way by the same people whom I once ruled over.They actually killed my son, so I will say they are extremely cruel people.Because despite all I did for them, they still had the mind to kill my son, and that's really the height of it.I'm really going to take revenge on them, once I finally leave this Pack, because they really don't deserve any mercy, as they never for once shower me any mercy.Andy was still very young, he was only four years old, but they couldn't show him mercy and spare him, instead they tormented him, to the point he couldn't surv
"I'm going to question the head of the guards," I finally spoke up,as I looked up at him."No, don't go close to him," Victor said, making me wonder what was going on in his Head."And why would you tell me that?" I asked him, with my voice filled with wonder, as he just stopped me."You are not fit to do the questioning as you are also a suspend, and it would be foolish of us to allow you do the investigation,"He spoke up, and to be honest I felt hurt hearing those words from him.I couldn't move anymore as I just stood rooted to the spot I was standing before."Yes, you are not worthy, and don't even think of coming closer to the man," Another of the elders spoke, adding to the pain I was already feeling."That's enough, whoever wants to question this man should just step forward, instead of this humiliation on our Alpha," Damon said, and just then an elder stepped forward.Everyone focused their attention on them, while I slowly went back to my seat feeling so ashamed of myself.I
"I'm innocent of this crime you all are accusing me of, I really didn't do it," I spoke up, getting all frustrated with the injustice they were doing."If you didn't do it, then who did?" The chief asked me, making me calm immediately, as I thought of someone that could have done it."I'm still waiting for you to say something," The Chief reminded me, making me look up at me."I don't really know, but if I'm given more time, I will come up with good evidence," I told him, with my voice lingering with determination.The Chief kept calm for a while, as I could tell my words, get into him, making him so reluctant to pass his judgement."It's so obvious that she is guilty," I heard Victor's voice from behind me, making me frown immediately, as I turned around to see him coming into the meeting room.This man is so annoying, and I really wished I could just kill him right now, so there won't be anyone trying to make me look bad before the people."Why did you say so?" The Chief asked him,
"I will find the evidence soon," I said with so much confidence."We really hope you do Alpha, because it will be the best thing ever, " they chorused, while I thanked them again, before we continued our walk again.Once I got into the house, I felt a hand grab hold of me, making me stop as I quickly turned around to see who it was."Damon," I muttered, as I came face to face with Damon, who just smiled at me."Where have you been, I have been looking everywhere for you," he told me, as he moved very close to me."I.." I stuttered on my words as I looked up at him.I could literally feel his hot breath in my face, as he was just too close to me, and I really don't want that.It was actually making me so uncomfortable, and I wished I could ask him to move away, but I also wanted him to feel offended, because I know how he could be some time."I went to investigate this case that they are accusing me of," I finally answered his questions while facing the floor."Oh okay, but you should
"Did you have anything to eat?" I asked them, and they looked up at me."We have only had breakfast," Ava responded to my question, making me glance at the wall clock.I gasped seeing that it was noon already. "I can't believe this, please come with me," I said, as I quickly rose to my feet, and I held their little hands on my both hands, as we made our way out of my office.Why would the cook starve my kids? I thought within me, as we continued strolling.Once we arrived at the dining room, and made them both sit down, as I made my way into the kitchen.Just as I had thought the cook was actually there, and immediately I stepped in, she noticed my presence and turned to look at me."Alpha, do you need your food now?" She asked with a calm voice, making me frown immediately."How dare you starve my children," I barked, making her shiver and moving away."I left my children in your care, and you decide to starve them right?" I pulsed for a while, before I finally continued."Because I
I took a deep breath as I finally moved back from the gate of the dungeon, and had my seat since I was already so tired of standing.I soon heard a sound of footsteps approaching, and quickly stood up again, as I rushed towards the door, and stood there waiting for the person."Is there nobody here?" I heard Damon's voice, making me frown immediately, and realized he was the one."No there is no one here," I finally responded to him, as I held onto the door tightly."Where did he go?" He asked me, and I opened my mouth to tell him, but stopped, as part of me told me to lie to him."He went to ease himself, " I lied, while he sighed softly."Do you know where he kept the keys," he asked me, while I quickly shook my head."No I don't, but don't tell me you want to free me from this dungeon without anyone's approval?" I asked him, as I waited patiently for his response."No, I can't just do that," he said, making me sigh softly, as I took a deep breath."Okay that's better, but what do y
