My eyes scanned the place. I lived in Alpha Roger’s mansion back in our district. It’s big and grand, but this… seemed like a palace to me. Perhaps, Alpha Rowan has an underground dungeon somewhere where he’s planning to lock me up until the investigation ends?The servants in uniforms bowed their heads and greeted their master. Their curious glances didn’t escape me though. It’s like they’re wondering why Alpha Rowan brought me home, someone who looks rubbish.“Follow me.”I followed Alpha Rowan as he ascended to the stairs. The slender man who must be the butler followed us silently.While walking on the hallway, I looked at the dust free marbled floor and then to my shoes I got from Edwina. I chose the most worn out one because I felt like I was stealing from them. I should visit them when everything works out. Her family saved me, after all. I owe them my life.Alpha Rowan stopped in front of a door, “This is going to be your room.”Wait, I wouldn’t be locked up in the dungeon?“W
Agatha’s POVThat surprised me.I thought I’d have to beg the supreme alpha before he gives me a chance. I thought I’d have to convince him hard. After all, we are talking about an alpha’s heir here.Still on my knees, I looked up to stare at the man who unexpectedly saved me from my doom. The moment Alpha Roger’s men laid their hands on me, I imagined myself in front of my whole pack’s angry eyes – the sight I will last see before dying. I was so sure I’d be pushed to the fate I was trying so hard to escape.And then he came.His midnight blue eyes were menacing. Almost soulless. The way he looked at me sent shivers all over my skin. And for some reason… I sensed a strange familiarity in his eyes. It was like he knew me somehow.But I know that can’t be the case. I’m weak in almost all aspects as a werewolf, but my memory has never failed me. I’m sure I’ve never met him before. If I’d see such dark and dangerous eyes, I don’t think I’d ever forget it. Not to mention, the man is quite
Rowan's POV“Today has good weather, don’t you think, my lord?” Looking outside the car, I replied to my butler, “You really have a good eye, Orion. But do you think I’d be pleased to hear that?”Orion coughed at the driver’s seat. “I was just merely trying to lift your mood-““And you think talking about the weather will lift my mood, yes?” “What do you want to hear then, my lord?” He shyly met my gaze in the rearview mirror. When I raised a brow, he immediately looked away.I crossed my legs and tapped my knee slowly. “Tell me about what is happening in the sixth district. I was just recently informed that Alpha Roger’s heir is killed. Is that true?”“Yes, it’s true. It seems that Alpha Roger’s stepdaughter was the one who killed his heir.”My eyes narrowed. “The girl must be really strong. Roger is from the third generation of pureblooded alphas, after all. His son should also be great.”“Actually, the stepdaughter has no wolf yet, sir.”Now that intrigued me.“What do you mean s
My face went numb when I received a strong slap from Philip. He then pushed me to the cold wall of the building so hard that I felt the painful burn in my back.“You think you can hide and run forever, Agatha? You have to face it. You killed James and you must pay for it!” he said angrily.I understand where he’s coming from. He’s James’ best friend. He’s smart and logical but his emotions are overwhelming him that all he sees is white and black. He’s blinded by his anger.“I didn’t kill him!” I yelled, tasting the blood from my mouth. “How can I kill my own brother?”“Alpha Roger confirmed it himself! How dare you deny it!” He pinned me to the wall with his hand around my neck, knocking the air out of my lungs.“James is strong but he loves you. He must have refused to hurt you back and that’s how you managed to kill him.”Tears formed in my eyes. I wanted to shake my head but Philip’s grip is so strong in my neck that I can hardly move.“No…” I uttered in a frail voice.James was th
“Is she still alive?”I’m feeling dizzy and my body feels sore everywhere but I still did my best to open my eyes. The first thing that met my gaze was a bright light. It blinded me for a moment.Am I in heaven?That’s possible. I remember falling off the cliff after being chased by my pack. It’s just reasonable that I’m dead by now.I felt a warm thing that touched my face. A finger, perhaps. It pressed on my cheek, which startled me.I moved my eyelids up, this time wider. There’s still that blinding light but as I try to focus my gaze, I realize it’s the sky.“She’s awake.” I dropped my gaze on the little boy on my right. He’s quite young. Around four or five, I guess. He stared at me with curiosity and worry in his bright brown eyes.When the cold wind blew, that was when I knew I’m soaking wet. I looked on my left and saw an older boy. He’s obviously younger than me. He has the same bright brown eyes the small boy has, so I assume they are siblings. Both of them are wearing shabb
My arm is bleeding hard that I can no longer feel it. The shackles around my ankles hurt like hell but that didn’t stop me from running. Because I know the moment I stop, I’ll die. I’ll die as my pack’s traitor. I’ll die for a sin I didn’t commit.“Agatha Sinclair! You shall die tonight!” Alpha Roger’s voice boomed in the forest along with the howls of our pack members who joined the hunt.A hunt to kill one of their own.Thinking that they can outrun me in just a matter of seconds, or minutes if I get lucky, I realized how foolish I was to even think of escaping. With my current state and considering that I still have no wolf at my age, I know I can only get away if some miracle happens.But that should be the case, right? No matter how hopeless you are, if you are given even just a single second to fight for your life and what you believe in, you’d still take the opportunity. You’d still grab that chance and risk it all.I suddenly stopped when some rocks just a few inches before my
