GEMMA "I can't believe....I can't believe that your sister would do this! I thought you said that she was on our side and that she was going to support us no matter what. Well, what is this? Is this what support us and being on our side is supposed to mean? She betrayed us as soon as she had a chance! I can't believe this! I am so angry right now!" I yelled at Mason. Mason looked upset but I didn't even care anymore. We were supposed to have achieved our goal by now but things kept getting worse. "Can you please just stop? Please just be quiet okay. Let me think, you yelling like this is not going to do anything at all," he yelled at me. "I can't be quiet. What do you think would have happened if I had not been suspicious of her and sent someone to follow her? We would not have found out about this. She really went to tell Alex all about our plan! She isn't....damn it! I don't know what to say to her. I know that she's in love with Alex but I never thought that she would be
TIANAMason dragged me through the woods. I had no idea where he was dragging me to, I just knew that it could not be some place good. "Where are we going? Let go of me! You are not going to succeed anyway! I am sure that Alex is already on his way and that he is going to stop you. You won't be able to hurt me the way that you want to!" I said firmly. "You really do have a lot of trust in that person, don't you? Well, I am sorry to burst your bubble but you are not going to get what you want! You are coming with me and that is the end of it. You know, Tiana, if you just keep your mouth shut and do what I want from you, I can still let you live. You are being such a brat and trying to fight with me. Do you really think that you can survive this?" He asked me. I was not willing to back down and do whatever he wanted. I was never going to be that willing. He continued to drag me through the woods, but someone suddenly jumped in front of us and stopped us. I was shocked when I saw w
Tiana's POVMy poor Camilla, she had such a beautiful future ahead of her.The funeral was too brief and also too long at the same time, either ways I'm back in my room, I needed time alone to catch my breath , I couldn't believe Camilla was gone forever. I was never going to see my favourite cousin again because of the ripper, whoever the hell the psychotic bastard is.My moment of grief was cut short when I heard the sound of movement in my childhood room, I looked around alarmingly but I saw nothing that could make such sound. Maybe I was hallucinating. I concluded and walked to the vanity table to pick up the photo album. Most of my childhood pictures were taken with or by Camilla. She was--My hands paused mid air when I heard the sound of movement again, as I was about to pick up the photo album. This time it sounded closer and clearer. It was the sound of a growl.Before I could comprehend why I was hearing the sound of a growl in my room at past eleven in the night, somethin
Tiana's POVMy feet was fixated on the ground as I tried to comprehend what my father just said. I examined his face properly, looking for a hint of joke or something but I found none, he had his usual stoic and cold expression on."What did you just say?" I asked, along with a dry chuckle. I was not amused at all.My dad looked away and returned to the living room to sit on one of the couches, and crossed his legs over each other, leaving me looking stupid on the staircase."The ripper has blatantly shown us that we are his next target. He killed Camilla and then attacked you in your bedroom, on your first day back in town, which means he has been monitoring you. Although you haven't been in town in almost a decade, everybody in Willow Heights knows that any pack the ripper warns, he makes sure to wipe them out in the next full moon. This all boils down to one thing, we are in desperate need of protection because I will not sit back and watch that bloody animal touch any of my pack
Tiana's POV"Alex Gray? How the hell did you meet Alex Gray?!" Aya exclaimed, startling the shit out of me.I ignored her question because there's no way I'm telling Aya that I had sex with a man I met for the first time."I know I already sound like a broken record but this is why you should stray away from your root for too long, or at all, as a matter of fact. You are from Willow Heights, born and fucking bred and you don't even know who Alex Gray is. This might sound harsh, but you're a failure, Tiana." Aya added.I restrained myself from saying "you don't sound like a broken record, one might actually mistake you for a goddamn radio." But I thought better and held my tongue.When she saw that I was staring blankly at her, she rolled her eyes at me and began, "I'm sure you have never heard of the Eclipse Wolves. They are untouchable and unstoppable. Even though they are an arrogant bunch, every werewolf and even humans know better than to provoke them. They once wiped out a whole
I'm dressed in a black turtleneck sweater that has a high neckline and long sleeves. The sweater is made of a soft, knit fabric and has a ribbed texture around the neck and cuffs. Then over the sweater, I'm wearing a beige high waisted, wide leg pants. I'm usually not a fan of high heels, it hurts my ankles like crazy, but my mom made me wear it because according to her, wearing heels makes one look classy and I have to look classy enough to be worthy of being married into the Griffins family. I almost gagged when she said that. The car arrived at the parking lot of a famous boutique that only the rich in our town went to, and my mom and Aya came down from the car."What are you waiting for? Get down." Mom snapped at me when I still sat in the car. We all came to the boutique for clothes shopping because we are having a family dinner with the Rover Pack and Aya said all the clothes I had was trash and not dinner worthy, so here we are.I came down from the car and trailed behind t
"Alex Gray??" I called out with astonishment. "Alex what are you doing here??" I asked rhetorically but I was ignored and Alex continued driving without glancing at me."Alex??" I called out again, and at this point, I already felt my chest beating faster than usual. Alex was not looking at me and was driving with speed with a serious look on his face. I placed my hand on the car handle and tried to open it but it was locked and that was when I realized that I was in trouble."Alex?" My voice was lower and shaky this time, "Stop this car now."He continued ignoring me and I tried again, "Stop this car Alex.""Alex, unlock this car and let me go now." My voice was trembling and I was raising it at the moment. My heart was beating loudly and rapidly against my chest and I was now scared for my life."Alex! Alex stop this car! Alex!!" I was now screaming at the top of my voice and struggling with the car handle as if that would miraculously open the door.It came crashing down on me th
"You want me to spy on my future in-laws for you?" I asked rhetorically, not believing what I just heard from him."Exactly what I said." Alex said and walked to his bar and took out a bottle of vodka.Tiana scoffed in disbelief, "You know that's not possible right? If you heard the correct story about how I'm getting married, then you would also know that it's an arranged marriage. The marriage is not happening out of love or anything, I barely even know the man I'm getting married to, so how do you expect me to know enough to report back to you??" Alex was quiet for a moment and after he poured himself another shot of vodka, he looked at me and replied, "Tiana, I honestly don't see how all of that is my concern. I don't care how you do it, all I care about is that you are going to spy on Mason and his pack members. Or else your father will be disowning you as fast as you can blink. You understand what I mean, right?" My chest started heaving up and down as I glared hard at Alex in

ALEX"What do you mean by you can't find her Sybil? she is supposed to be inside the bedroom. And no one else besides me knows about this place. She could not have left so easily she knows I've dangerous it is right now for her right now. So how come she is not here" I asked Sybil. Sybil was in tears now she shook her head. "I don't know. I really don't know at all. I went to the bedroom because I wanted to talk to her but I was shocked when I got there and found her that she was not there. I have looked for her all over the house but she is definitely not anywhere here. I think that someone must have taken her. There is no way that Tiana would disappear all on our own. someone definitely took her" Sybil told me. I did not want to accept it but I knew that that was the only possibility. And the only person who could have taken her away from here was that bastard Mason. I made sure that you would not know about this location. How did he even find it?!"Mason is definitely the on
TIANA"What do you mean by that question mark what do you mean by Ceaser is not my father?" I asked. Mason hook his head as he looked at me and laughed."Tiana you really did not know anything at all right? Even if Caesar did not tell you that he was not your real father don't you have any common sense at all? Do you think that he would have treated his real daughter the way that he treated you? It is because you are not his real daughter. That was why he did whatever he wanted to do to you" Mason told me. Tears fell for my eyes as Mason said this. I did not even have the energy to cry loudly. Although this was something that I have not heard before, it was not hard for me to believe that Caesar was not actually my real father. Because he had really treated me badly over the years. It went from him not caring about me in my early years to him being outrightly cold and mean to me. If I was really his child then he would not have treated me the way that he did. But if I was not hi
TIANAWhen I woke up again, I was no longer in the house that I had fallen asleep in. I was in a different room although. I looked around me in shock, wondering what the heck I was doing here. Did Alex bring me to someplace else? That was the only thing that I could think of because I could not understand why I was at a different house when I woke up This room was much more darker and it was eerie. It just made me scared. What was going on? ."Alex?" I called out, hoping that Alex would come out and assure me that everything was fine and that I had nothing to worry about. But he did not come out no matter how many times I called him It was obvious that Alex was not in the same place with me now. I was starting to get really worried. Where the hell was he and where was I?I was still worrying about all of these when the door was pushed open and someone walked in. My heart sunk into my stomach when I saw who it was. Mason! It had to be him! "You....what are you doing here?" I asked
TIANAI swear I was not thinking about hurting him at all. I just wanted to make him pass out so that I could bring him away. That way, he would not be able to tell people that I was the Lycan king and I was also hoping that I would be able to find out why Mason wanted to make you his Luna so bad. You know that your father knows this...anyway, I was fighting with him when someone attacked him from behind. I tried my best to protect him but I could not do that. Your father....he ended up dying. That person tore him to shreds. I tried to fight off the person who did that but he ran away. That person...he was a Lycan like me. But there was no way that he's the Lycan king. When I heard about the killings that happened in the pack, I knew that he was the one doing it. He was just trying to blame me for what he's done. Please, I am telling the truth. You have to believe me" he saidI shook my head. I was having a really hard wrapping my mind around what he was telling me right now. "Wait
TIANAYes... that had to be it. I had imagined it. There was no way that Alex would come save me... right?!I was feeling confused thinking about it. I could not think of any reason why he would come back to save me after all that he did. What was he trying to prove by doing this? I was still thinking about it when the door was pushed open and Alex walked in. There was a resigned look on his face. He sighed as he walked over me. I really did not know what I was supposed to say to this. He had really come to save me after all. Should I be grateful to him for what he did? But he was the one who killed my father....he was the one who killed all of those people that died. How was I supposed to let him get away with all of those things?!"Tiana....are you feeling okay now?" He asked me. He tried to touch me but I slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me," I snapped at him. "Please Tiana. I know that you are angry with me but can you please hear me out? You don't understand what is goi
TIANA"You....both of you....what are you doing?" I asked slowly even though I already knew the answer to this in my heart. How could they do this to me? How could they think about hurting me in this way....I did not deserve this for crying out loud! Gemma smiled and walked out to meet me. "Don't you already know what is going on here? You don't have to pretend as if you don't have eyes. I am sick and tired of you pretending like you don't know anything. Don't you get tired of this act of yours?" She asked me coldly. "I.....you guys....you guys are actually together. If you have been together this whole time, why did you pretend as if you were not? You should have just been together and left me alone from the start! Just what is it that you want from me that you are going this far to do it?! Why can't you just leave me alone?" She yelled at them. "You want to be left alone? I am sorry but that won't be possible. There are so many things that I want from you .....Tiana. You will ju
TIANA"And so what are we going to do then? Do you think that we should just stay here and wait for your death? Even if you don't want to think about yourself, can you please think about me? I am going to be in much more danger if you die. I think that they will just kill me so that anyone wouldn't find out about what they have done to you," Sybil said to me. I nodded my head. She was telling the truth. This was not just about me anymore. Since the second she followed me out of the hotel room, Sybil's life was now in my hands. I knew that I was coward, but I just didn't want to watch her die. "Okay....you know what....stay here. I am going to go outside and check what's going on. I'll check and see if we can actually get out of here without them finding us,".I said. She nodded her head and I set out to sneaking around the house. I walked around, acting as if I was just taking a walk so that it would not be suspicious if anyone saw me. I saw a few guards who gave me odd kills as I
