Alanas POVNixie stayed in her room all day, refusing to speak with anyone, not even Jacob or even Titan. I felt sad for her but felt more sad for Clara who still blamed herself for Nixies fathers death. She too had been in her room all day and, according to her sister, Charlotte, had refused to eat or drink any thing. I decided to go speak with her and address her before I went to Nixie. I asked for Titan to help me to Claras room but he refused and said that I was pregnant and was not supposed to be stressing myself. He was right as female werewolves are meant to be treated and handled with care anytime that they become pregnant but I wanted so much to speak with Clara. I insisted that I be taken to Claras room and Titan reluctantly agreed. He helped me stand up from the bed that I was laying on as I was in my room the whole time and then helped me walk to Claras room. I knocked on her door upon arrival and before long I heard the door slowly creak open. I looked up and saw Charlo
Lucians POVI immediately let go of Iago as a sense of guilt flooded me. What had I done? "You should control yourself, Lucian," Iago said as he began rubbing his wrists. "You should not let your emotions take the best of you. Cause if you do, you lose both what you have and what you want to have."I stared at the rogues laying on the floor. Iago was right. Now that they were like this, there was no way they could fight alongside with me, strong or not. I was blinded with rage and the adrenaline to kill. If Iago had not stopped me, I didn't know what I would have done and that scared me more. I threw the blade in my hand to the floor and turned to walk away. I paused halfway and turned to the rogues before apologizing to them. "Sorry," I muttered. "You can take yourselves to the infirmary so that the pack healer would heal you of your wounds. After that, you leave," I said before walking away. As much as I felt a sense of guilt for doing what I had done, the truth still remained
Lucians POVAlthough, all that Iago had just said was true, I still had to do it. I had to meet the witches. I had no other choice. "I'm going to do it either way, Iago," I said to Iago who just stood, staring at me with disbelief and surprise. "Aren't you going to inform the elders first?" he asked and I shook my head. "I can't tell them," I said. "You know what they will say if I should tell them that I am going with the witches." Iago nodded with a smile as he raised his hands in the air. "Whatever decision it is that you make, my hands are out of it," he said before turning to leave. "Iago," I called out, causing him to stop on his tracks. He turned to face me and asked, "what, alpha Lucian?""Do not make mention of this to the elders until I do," I said and he nodded. "Sure," he replied before walking away. I sighed as scratched my head, scattering my wavy hair. Although, he was correct with what he said, I still had rule over all of my choices. I as the alpha had the righ
Iagos POVI couldn't believe Lucian when he told me he wanted to contact the witches for help. Something that was against the pack law. He had disobeyed almost all pack laws since he was the alpha. Banishing Alana and making her a rogue, getting together with an omega that was not his mate, bringing rogues into the pack, trying to bring back Alana who was now a rogue and now trying to ask the witches for help. I tried to dissuade him from going to the witches but he was bent on following what he had in mind. I didn't have any say over what he felt was right so I just let him be. But his actions still bothered me. I planned on telling the elders but he warned me not to so I decided to keep shut. This whole war of a thing and his quest to brigback Alana was now getting into Lucians head. Sometimes, I wish I was in Calebs shoes. Although, the fact that he had gone against the vows he took as the gamma of our pack and gone to our rival pack was one that I was finding it hard to believe,
Calebs POV"Um, Titan," I said and he turned to face me. "I need to tell you something." He looked at me with his brow raised and asked, "what is it?""I actually have something to confess about," I said, expecting Titan to flip and ask me to say what it was but he remained calm. "I'm listening," he said in a calm tone and I told him everything. Titan didn't react badly but was surprisingly calm throughout the whole time. When I was done with my story, he sighed and said, "have you told Alana?" I shook my head and replied, "no. I planned on telling her first and not you until you walked in." Titan nodded and said, "I want you not to tell her." He wanted me not to tell her? Why? Confused, I asked, "why don't you want me to tell her?""We have a war coming up," Titan began to explain. "You telling her that Lucian not only knows about her location but also knows that she is pregnant will really break her down. She wouldn't really blame you much cause you were being controlled by yo
Lucians POVShe then raised her hands in the air and at once, all the witches stopped their laughter. The way everything went in sync here really scared me. "I like the irony of your statement, Lucian," Queen Zelda said as she twirled her hands, causing the bottle and the wine to disappear and a napkin to appear out of thin air. She grabbed the napkin and wiped her mouth as she said, "I wonder why you would come to me for such considering how powerful and almighty you werewolves are. But still, even though you lot banished us witches, you still come to us for help to show that we are at the top of the food chain in the supernatural world." I knew exactly what she was trying to do. She was trying to make me feel guilty for coming here so she could use me as a pawn to do whatever she wanted. What she didn't know was that she was a pawn in my own game. "Me coming to you for help is also going to be of gain to you, Queen Nelda," I said and she leaned forward on her throne. She smiled a
Titans POVCaleb had to lie to Alana because so she would not get too emotional from hearing the truth. I had know of different she-werewolves who had lost their babies from stress. I would have had an elder brother too if not from the stress that my mother went through before she birthed him. When he was born, the pack doctor pronounced him dead. He explained that it was from the stress that my mom went through when she was pregnant of him. After much tears, she became pregnant again but this time, my father was careful. He did not let her perform any work or enhance in any chore. Because of his carefulness my dad had with my mom, there new baby was born strong. He grew up to become the alpha of the Silver Stones pack. I could never forget that story my father told; the story of my birth. I took that story as a lesson and that was why I told Caleb not to tell Alana anything. If she knew that Lucian was now after her, she would get stressed and start thinking much and that could aff
Lucians POVI was over flooded with anger as thoughts of Iago betraying me flashed through my mind. I was very mad. Iago was betraying me? If there was someone who would know about this, it would be Caleb. I ran to the dungeon where he was chained, with rage brewing inside me. If it meant beating him to death, I was going to do it to get the truth from him. I wanted to know who else was working alongside him and betraying me. I ran into the dungeon and paused as I saw the guards outside, laying on the grass, groaning. They saw me coming and they immediately tried standing up. One of them stumbled towards me, groaning with every step that he took. "I.... I'm sorry, Alpha Lucian," he muttered as he held my foot. What was he sorry about? I looked inside the dungeon and saw that the gate of the cell that they had put Thorne in was wide open. Suddenly, it all came to me. I rushed to the gates and looked inside. There was blood everyone and the chain that we had used to chain Caleb up
