**James POV***Ever since Alana came to the magic academy, I had been wondering what might have actually been the reason for her to be here. Her father is the rogue Alpha who was defeated by the Alpha of the Blood Rose Pack. How come she told me she's from the Blood Rose Pack?Didn't she realize the Alpha was her mortal enemy? How come she stays in his pack?I've been asking myself these questions for the past week ever since her arrival, but I couldn't come to any conclusion.It's not like I could actually ask her the question directly, else I would have done so. She didn't even recognize me, so how do I go about explaining to her who I am?I learned the student body had invited her for our monthly social gathering. It seems everyone is curious to see the girl who had defeated me.I chuckled lightly as I headed to the social party as well.As soon as I arrived there, I heard screams and shouts.“Didn't you hear me? Maybe you're deaf, but if you want me to repeat myself, I'll gladly d
***Alana's POV**Hold on a minute, this doesn't seem to be a joke coming from him. And I could swear that I've not seen him before.“And again, I'm asking if I'm supposed to know who you are?”He said nothing but stared at me.This was confusing. When he asked me about this the first time, he had quickly said it was a joke, but seeing the serious looks in his eyes, I realized that there's no way in hell this was a joke.Where exactly had I met him? Hold on, could it be from my real pack? But I don't recognize him to be any member of my pack or even my father's subordinate.“Are you saying you can't recognize me? Why don't you think harder? I'm sure you'll finally realize that you actually know me.”“That's not true at all. I can't remember seeing your face anywhere, no matter how hard I try.”He heaved a long deep sigh, seemingly disappointed at the fact that I don't recognize him.“James, why don't you save us both the trouble by telling me straight on what I need to know. You can ta
**Alana's POV***Getting to the coach's office, I found him trotting the floors. As soon as he saw me, he stopped pacing. “please make yourself comfortable,” he said, showing me to the chair opposite his.Once I took my seat, he also walked over to his seat as well.“Alana, I'm sure you must be wondering why I actually called you here, not so?”“Yes, I must admit so.”Mr. Jacob suddenly leaned into desk while looking in my eyes, making me feel awkward.“You're a moon wolf, aren't you?”I froze the very instant he asked the question. How on earth did he know about that?“You shouldn't lie to me, Alana. I know a Moon Wolf when I see one. So, are you?”I don't think I should hide what I am from him. I mean, it's hard enough that I can't control my wolf. I need help, to be honest, and there's no way I'm getting it without talking it out to someone.“Yes, I am,” I finally admitted with my eyes closed.“Great!” Mr. Jacob muttered, which immediately made me open my eyes at once.I stared at
**Alana's POV***I did not relent and continued to practice my wolf anger management for the few days after the first day on which I saw changes. The more I learned, the better I became, which warmed my heart.While this was going on, I noticed developments within me, and it is the mate bond.I glanced in the mirror and noticed the mark on my neck had disappeared.This was unbelievable, and so I looked even closer.I don't know if I should be happy about this development or sad about it. It's just confusing.Furthermore, I noticed I now smelled like my normal self and I mean, like a rogue. This was because it has been long since I left the Blood Rose Pack and the magic academy isn't a pack that could have hid the fact that I was a rogue.Though I was now beginning to smell like a rogue, I don't look like them anymore. Rogues are usually tiny and not as strong as a pack werewolf, but I found out that mine was more than one. I didn't just smell like rogues, but also had the moon wolf's
**Alana's POV***My mouth fell ajar the moment I heard this. This must be a joke or even a dream. I shut my eyes briefly and opened them again.“Wait, can you repeat what you just said?”James moved close and leaned in as if I would be able to recognize him this way, but the truth is I still do not recognise him at all.“I know this would be hard for you. My real name is Henry Connor. Do you remember me now?”“Henry Connor….” I trailed off, trying to recall. Then I realized there was truly someone named Henry Connor in my former Pack. But the Henry I know was ever shy and never associated himself with his colleagues and always lived like an outcast even though they accepted him with open arms.“So, you're shy Henry, who always grew his hair covering his eyes?”James chuckled heartily. “That's a great way to describe me.”I couldn't help but chuckle as well. I would be honest that seeing someone I know from the Rising Moon Pack after what took place was comforting.“Tell me, Alana, wha
***Aiden's POV***“Have you checked the other packs I told you about?”“I did just as you asked, Alpha, but there's still no sign of Miss Alana,” my beta reported."That would be all. You can leave now.”As soon as he left my office, which originally used to be my dad's, I stood up from my chair and began pacing from one end to the next. I was confused and didn't know what to do with my present self.My dad has been in a coma for almost a year now. And Luna Hana had always kept herself locked in her room ever since she woke up even though she wasn't indeed locked and key.“Alpha Aiden, the council meeting is about to start, and you are needed there.”My beta announced. I snapped away from my deep thoughts and followed my beta to the hall.My other brothers should work by my side as Alphas, but they had refused to do so, reasons being that they are focused on trying to find our mate. Though that didn't make them useless.Getting to the hall, the elders who all sat down murmuring immedi
***Aiden's POV**Caden and Jayden took another glance at one another, then directed their gaze towards me.“You understand what we mean, don't you?”I heaved a deep sigh.“You think she went back into being rogue since she's originally a rogue to begin with?”“You can't be too sure or dismiss the matter. This report is coming for the third time. We dismissed the two others before, but a third complaint is alarming.”“If that's the case, I guess we all know what her aim is, don't we?”“I don't know. If she wanted her mom, she could have come to us directly. She didn't have to wage a war to request for what she can easily get,” Caden uttered.“Be honest with me, Caden. If she had come ordinarily to ask for her mother, would you have let her go?”Caden looked at me but couldn't reply to my question.“Aiden, you seem to be different whenever we talk about our mate these days. What could be the problem?”“Well, if you both had explained things to me properly, I surely wouldn't have been th
**Alana's POV*James sat across from the mess we were eating lunch, but that's not the situation at hand. It was the fact that all eyes were on us.I took my gaze to James, who didn't seem to be bothered with what was happening.“James, did you realize the atmosphere is getting too cold?” I asked, with my gaze fixated on the girls who were staring at us without blinking an eye.“I don't think I understand what you mean,” James replied, munching on his sandwich. I rolled my eyes to the back of my head, seeing this.“Don't tell me you're so clueless that you don't know what I'm talking about.”“I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.”I folded my hands into a tight fist at the response James gave. How can he act this foolish? I'm sure he knows what I'm talking about."“Why? You seemed quite pissed.”“Why won't I be when you're acting so dumb, for goodness’ sake!”Just then James stood up, “hold on, I should get some water, I'm quite thirsty.” He said and dashed away.It didn'
