**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'
***Fancy's POV**“Oh, I'm sorry I didn't make an introduction. Actually, I saved her and her brother years ago when they were banished from their pack. Ever since then, they've become great members of our small community. You know, our rules, we don't take in beasts or unrepentant sinners.”Listening to James' words made me feel fly. It's so wonderful, knowing that someone actually stood in place of my dad to do the things he used to do, which to me is satisfying.Just then, I noticed the girl looked in James' direction before walking away. Without being told, I could tell that there was something wrong, though I do not know what that might be.“Uhm Alana, please excuse me. I promise that'll be back soon,” he said. I nodded my head and let him go. What surprised me more was that he was actually going in the direction the girl went.Now I'm more than convinced that there's something going on which they don't want others to know or what others didn't feel the need to know.With that in
**Alana's POV***“Well, just like I said, you can't stop a little girl from dreaming about the man that she wants. Now if you'll look ahead of you, I'm sure you'll understand what I mean,” I said in a whisper, not sparing a glance at Candice.James must have noticed her too, considering how he arched his brow.“Well do you believe me now?” I asked.“I don't actually see anything here to make me believe you or not. She's just being who she has always been.”I rolled my eyes to the back of my head when James said this. I wonder what I'll have to do for him to believe me at the rate at which things are going.“Alright, since you don't believe me, I guess there's no way out of this.”With that, I placed my palm on his shoulders and leaned in. This was expected to be all a pretense just to rile Candice up, but James, on the other hand, must be thinking something different, considering how he pulled my waist towards him.“If this is what you want, why not make it real?”“What the hell is wr
**Alana's POV***“James, you don't understand -”“Understand? How many times have I told you not to trouble Alana that she's not the enemy.”“I'm sorry, I know I was wrong,” Candice said with a sad expression which made me feel sad.“How can you be sorry when I talked to you about it.”Immediately I rushed towards James, “it's okay. Actually she's not here to reprimand me, matter of fact, Candice and I have become friends.”“What?” James muttered with a confused expression. I hurried over to where Candice stood and held her hands. “See, I'm not lying about what I'm saying,” I looked in Candice's direction who was smiling as well.James gave us a skeptical look, which made me realize he was trying to see if any of us were faking it or not.Just as we were doing this, I heard screams coming from the rogues. Immediately, James and I took quick glances at one another before rushing to the rogues to find out what was happening.Getting there, it shocked me to see a group of rogues, looking
