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 pack because one of them touched one of their own. The elders of the werewolf community have once suspected the ripper to be one of the Eclipse Wolves but the eclipse wolves are so brazen in their notoriety that the town knows that they take too much pride in their ruthlessness to kill people anonymously. Even Dad knows not to cross their path."

"Okay, Aya. What does the Eclipse Wolves have to do with Alex?" I found myself asking her impatiently.

"Why are you so dumb and slow in the head? You should be able to put two and two together..." Aya snapped irritatedly at me, and then added, "The Alpha of these Eclipse Wolves, who is known to be more ruthless than all his pack members combined, is Alex Gray."

My jaw dropped. Literally.

Alex is a werewolf??

And not just a werewolf, he's the Alpha of an alleged ruthless and people murdering pack???

"So that brings me back to the question, how the hell did you meet Alex Gray? Please don't tell me you already rattled the nest of the Eclipse Wolves." She glared at me coldly.

"What? No, I didn't." I shook my head in denial.

Aya didn't look like she believed me, "But you did something, didn't you?"

"N..No. I didn't do anything." I said but I couldn't meet her face. Aya will take my life before my parents get the chance to, if she finds out that I slept with the most ruthless Alpha in Willow Heights.

"You are lying." She stood up from the couch and stood in front of me. "Your werewolf instincts may be as good as dead and useless but mine isn't, which means I can actually tell that you're lying through your teeth right now after spending the night outside this house. Now for the last time, Tiana, what the hell did you do?" She said the last statement in a threatening voice.

I was already shaking in my legs. Aya was my older sister, and we grew up together but she has done a very good job to instill her fear in me and every second I spend with her, makes me more terrified of her than the last. It has always been like this since we were kids, especially since my parents don't hide the fact that I'm the least favourite member of the family.

"I said I didn't do anything, Aya."

"Then where were you all night?" She demanded.

I didn't reply and continued staring at my laps, then suddenly I felt the sharp pain in my scalp. Aya had grabbed my hair with full force.

"Aya..." I winced in pain. 

"You were trying to run away, weren't you?"

"No... Aya please." My voice came out strained because of the pain I was feeling, she was grabbing my hair with all her strength.

She brought her face closer to mine, and glared at me, "Don't you fucking try it. Do you hear me?? Because I will sniff you out and break your fucking limbs one by one." Then she whispered into my ears, "I will kill you first before I'm shipped off like a commodity to marry into that crazy Griffin family." 

"Aya, is your sister finally back?" 

Dad's voice interrupted the incessant threats and she let me go, adjusting her clothes to face Dad properly.

"Yes, fortunately. And yes, I guessed right, she was trying to run away." Aya said and my eyes widened alarmingly.

"No I wasn't." I said, my voice cracking in the process.

"Yes you were, Tiana. Your mother and I thought you have changed from the selfish little girl we used to know but it's so heartbreaking to realize that we were wrong. The Moonlight Pack is in danger, we are about to be exterminated by a psychopathic serial killer and all we ask of you is get married to the Alpha of---"

"I was attacked by a rogue!" I cut in, abruptly interrupting my dad. 

Aya and my dad exchanged looks and Aya said, "Another lie. She's lying, Dad. I suggest we tie her up and lock her in the dungeon, she needs to learn her--" 

My dad held his hand up to stop Aya from talking, "Did you just say, a rogue?" 

I nodded reluctantly, "Yes. On my way home." 

Then I saw my dad's face go pale immediately, he released a shaky breath and sat down on the couch. 

"Dad, do you seriously believe that? Willow Heights don't have rogues for god's sake!"

"We used to... Until they were exiled from the town." Dad said.

"What?"

"Those rogues were going against the rules that forms our community, they became a threat to the werewolf community so to protect our own, we sent them out of our town, the ones who refused to leave, were burned alive." Dad explained, still looking distressed.

What the hell?

They burned people alive???

"And I was the one who led the coup." 

What?! 

"They are back. They want revenge and they will not stop until they get it. These people were deadly and nothing can stop them, even before they became rogues. They are now one hundred times worse as rogues."

I thought the Moonlight Pack was the most virtuous pack in this town. Why do we have so many enemies then? And I always seem to be the first target of the so called enemies.

Then I suddenly got reminded of what I saw in the underground room in Alex's bedroom. The tied up people. Having the same snake tattoo. They were rogues

Does Alex... the Eclipse Wolves... also know about the rogues invasion in the town?

"The Eclipse Wolves?" 

I snapped my neck up, alarmed at what my dad just said.

Did I just say that out loud?

"What?" 

"Did you just mention the eclipse wolves?" Dad's face had gone from pale to red. His eyes were flaming in rage and he started moving closer to me.

"Dad... I--"

"You are to never mention that name ever again, especially to the hearing of your future in laws. Do you understand me?!" My dad warned, with an angry growl.

I nodded hastily, "What does Alex Gray have to do with the Griffins?" I dared to ask.

"The Rover Pack and the Eclipse Wolves are each other's worst enemy. Their generations have been rivals. They have a century long feud between them. And the enemy of Rover Pack is our enemy, so don't ever mention that name around here. Is that clear?!" My father roared.

I nodded again.

"Use words, Tiana Thompson." My dad ordered.

"Yes, Dad."

I replied but I had countless questions like, what the hell do I do about my attraction to Alex then? What if it's too late to warn me against him and his pack when I'm already this gone for him? What do I do when I get wet everytime I think of the sex I had with my fiance's rival and worst enemy??

    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

    I stood there shocked, my feet fixed to the ground as I watched the horrific sight in front of me, my dad and my sister rushed out of the house to where my mom and my aunt was, pushing me in the process, which jolted me out of my shock."Mom! What happened?!" Aya shouted, and took over from the guard, holding her shoulders. "What the hell happened?!!"My dad just stood there, he looked more raged than shocked, I watched him clench his fists tightly. His eyes were red, the colour of an Alpha's, his claws were out and I could feel the extreme anger seep out of him.I could understand his anger. His thoughts that the ripper already got scared off because of the news of my engagement to the Rover Pack, has just been rubbed in the mud.It took my mom hours to heal despite her status as the Luna of the pack, which means that the wounds were very brutal and she almost died, just like Aunt Erica."Send a message to the rest of the pack members. Tell them my sister is dead, and her funeral wil

    I gasped loudly, and quickly adjusted my dress, my heart was beating fast against my ribcage, and it beat even faster when another knock rapped against the door. "Who the hell is that?!" Alex yelled angrily, his voice a bit husky from the emotions of what we just did."Derrick." A masculine voice replied.I threw a worried glance at Alex, still fidgeting with my dress, my cheeks were warm and I felt embarrassed that someone was about to walk in on us having sex.I bet this room still smelled like sex, given that I just climaxed few minutes ago.Alex looked at me softly, his expression silently asking if it was okay for him to let Derrick in, and I nodded slowly."Come in." Alex mumbled after getting my approval. The door opened and a tall man, looking the same age as Alex walked in. He had black hair and I caught a glimpse of his brown eyes. When Derrick walked in, he looked surprised for a second to see me in the room but he quickly masked the surprise with a blank expression. O

    The whole room went pin drop silent and we all stared at each other with different facial expressions.Mine being totally and utterly shocked. The room suddenly became too warm for me to stay in."What?" My voice came out squeaky."What? Radiant Bar, few nights ago? Oh come on Tiana, stop playing dumb, the both of us know what I'm talking about." Melanie said, with a sarcastic smile.Oh god.This isn't happening.Everybody in town definitely knows who Radiant Bar belongs to, which means my parents will kill me with their bare hands.Or was this for good?? Maybe Mason would now hate me too much to look at my face, much more marrying him."Tiana, what is going on?? Radiant Bar?? Why are you bent on disgracing this family? What have we ever done to you?! You visited a bar that belongs to an enemy?! Have you finally lost your mind?!" My father was shouting at the top of his voice.Before I could open my mouth to say a word in defense of myself even though I actually had none, my mom added

    Meeting Mason was more of a pleasant experience for me, I was pleasantly surprised by who he turned out to be. But that doesn't mean I'm keen on marrying a stranger, regardless of how sweet he was to me, he's still a stranger. Though with the look of things now, it may seem as though, I don't have a say in this matter. My father would rather die than sit down and do nothing while the ripper bastard destroys our pack, and the only solution he had in mind was for us to bond with Rover Pack through marriage.I released a heavy sigh when I realized that shit was getting real, there was no escaping this.My phone suddenly buzzed from the top of the vanity table where I placed it. I got off my bed and went to get it, curiously checking who the caller was.It was an unknown number."Hello, Tiana Thompson speaking." I answered the call hesitantly."Tiana! It's me, Gemma!" A cheery, enthusiastic voice said with excitement from the other side of the phone."Gem, hi!" I smiled, trying to match

    I forced my eyes open, but it was proving to be difficult for me. My head was pounding, and I had no idea what was going on. I closed my eyes again when I saw that I was having a hard time keeping it open. I only opened it a few minutes later. This time, I had gotten used to the light coming from the slightly opened window. I looked around me. Besides the light peeping in from the window, the room was dark. Pitch black. Whatever I was lying on was extremely hard. How did I even get here? I tried to remember the events that brought me here. I had been kidnapped as I was on my way back home. The person who kidnapped me...he had said that his name was Tommy, and he had also said that his boyfriend knew who he was. I didn't even have a boyfriend. Who was he referring to? Was it Mason? Everyone knew that I was now about to become his wife, and even though I detested it, everyone else was looking forward to it. So maybe he was talking about Mason? What kind of beef could Mason have

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.

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!

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

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

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?"

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.
