Chris Pov Lucy has always looked suspicious, but I didn't want to ever distrust my mate and not think that she was a murderer. I couldn't believe it."You also suspected her, right?" Detective Clayton asked."We had a little argument last night and I just said it, but I never knew it. The Luna of this great pack was a murderer?" "Was that why she was persuading me to drop that case and telling me it wasn't a murder case, but a suicide." I shuddered."So what are you going to do about it now?" He asked, but I was sincerely at a loss. I don't know for real.I was still in shock, it had washed over me like a tidal wave, threatening to drown me in its relentless grip. My fists clenched, and I felt the anger boiling within me, threatening to consume every ounce of rationality."And it appears she's been involved in more than just one murder." He said as I shuddered.My heart was pounding in my chest as a surge of emotions surged through me. I fought to control the anger that threatened
Chris Pov "This isn't right. This isn't right." I yelled, scattering my hair."This is a lie, Lucy wouldn't do this to me." I half yelled, running my hands through my hair. "You need to calm down," Clayton said."Calm down?" "Calm down?" That the girl I harbored in my home as a wife was a snake, calm down?""She destroyed my home, my pack, my family and you're telling me to calm down.""I don't even know who to trust." I spat as I went back to Jack who was struggling for his life."Who are her accomplices?" "Just Elias and I.""What about Dave? Who is he to her?" I asked again."He's just her toy, she uses him to satisfy her sexual urge." He said as I shuddered."Come with me," I said as Mr. Clayton hopped into the car."Where are we headed?" Clayton asked."To my pack house."The anger within me consumed every fiber of my being as I sped down the road toward the pack house. My grip on the steering wheel tightened, my knuckles turning white, as my foot pressed firmly on the accel
Chris Pov"You two, stop right there." He ordered as we paused in our tracks."Hey, Dove." How're you doing? The man who was sneaking us out earlier said with a huge smile on his face."Do you think we will be caught?" Zeal whispered, staring at me as I shook my head."This place isn't okay for us. Two people have discovered who we are, we need to leave." I said to Zeal who nodded. "We heard that some newbies came into town today." The Dove of a man said coming towards us."Keep your cool." I urged Zeal as Virtue just stared on."We heard you came into town this evening." He said."Yes," I replied."I heard you're tourists." He said as I nodded with a smile, "You heard that right," I said."We hardly have your folks around here. Haven't you heard about us? We hardly entertain strangers." He said as I smiled."I did notice it. Probably didn't do my research well. We leave at dawn." I said as he nodded."It's okay," he said, turning to leave, as I heaved out a sigh of relief when he s
Andrew's PovI couldn't believe it. How did they catch him? I knew he was quick and resourceful. My heart sank as I watched him being dragged closer and closer to us. I could see the fear in his eyes.Pete walked up to him and sneered. "Looks like we caught ourselves a little spy, your savior," he said. "What do you have to say for yourself, Greg?"Greg didn't answer, but I could see the defiance in his eyes. He was always the stubborn one, never backing down from a challenge. I admired him for that, but I also knew it could be his downfall.I stood frozen in horror as Greg was dragged towards us like a sacrificial goat. His eyes were filled with fear and despair, and I knew that he had suffered greatly at the hands of these monsters.Pete let out a wicked laugh as he signaled for his men to bind Greg to the stake. "Let's start with him," he said, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure.I wanted to rush forward and save him, but I knew it was too late. Greg was already bound, and t
Amelia's Pov "I love you," I said, my voice trembling, as he paused, his expression unreadable."Ermm," I stammered, a nervous laugh escaping me."I said that to calm you down, you know, right?" I continued, gesturing with my hands, but he remained silent, his gaze fixed on me."You love me, don't you?" he finally asked, his tone questioning, as I turned to leave, feeling the weight of embarrassment overwhelming me. I nodded, unable to find the words."I do, I do love you," I managed to say, my emotions impossible to conceal, as a small smile formed on his lips."But what about your mate? You need to work on your feelings," he replied curtly, turning to leave, and I couldn't believe it."What?" I blurted out, looking around the empty hallway, my embarrassment intensifying."Did I just confess my feelings and get this as a reply?" I murmured, unable to comprehend what had just transpired."Oh no," I whispered, realizing I had gotten myself into trouble.Facing him again seemed impossi
Chris POV"Why don't we kill him?" I shot him a stare, my eyes filled with a mixture of fear and defiance."Take this," he said, handing Dove the bag, while I whimpered, staring at them, my body trembling."You don't want to do this," he said, his voice laced with a threatening undertone, as he walked towards me, and I instinctively moved backward, my heart pounding in my chest."And where do you think you're going?" one of Dove's men asked, his voice dripping with malice and amusement."You talk too much. We need to end you," he said, a cruel grin spreading across his face, as I found myself apologizing profusely, my voice quivering with fear. But then, unexpectedly, they burst into laughter."Got you again," they said, their laughter echoing through the air, as I heaved a sigh of relief, wiping the tears from my eyes."Yeah, you did, and it isn't funny," I said, my voice still shaky, trying to regain my composure."Don't tell me you were crying, bro," they said to me, their tone tea
AMELIA'S POV Life came to make sense after I accepted the proposal of Chris, the soon-to-be Alpha. But before that, my world has been void and dark. I had attempted suicide countlessly but was saved. I had my issues, but everything came tumbling when I lost my dad. He was my voice. After his death, I wasn't welcomed in the society and pack anymore. It all started when my mum remarried. I wasn't comfortable with the idea of her getting a new mate, but she had assured me it was for our good. It wasn't until a month after the death of my dad, mum returned home beaming. She told me the goddess had given her a second chance and had found a new mate, claiming he was capable of taking care of us. I kicked against it and was mad at her, but she felt I was just being a baby and went ahead to invite him over. I was shocked when mum introduced me as her niece. I assumed it wasn't intentional and tried correcting her but she ignored me. Things started getting a little
Amelia's Pov The sound of the Holter monitor resounded in my head, making me groan as I flickered my eyelids trying to get them open, but it seems something heavy was placed on them. The diverse voices in the background didn't help matters as I felt I was being dragged into the grip of the devil. I struggled to be free, when I suddenly inhaled the scent of freesia in a damp moss, as my eyes fluttered open with a gasp escaping my lips. My head spun as I looked around my surroundings, searching for the owner of the scent, my head was pounding but all I cared for was the scent. Still engrossed in my thought, I didn't realize the soon-to-be Alpha had walked into the room, sitting beside my bed, his scent bringing me to reality. There was a slight difference between his and the one I'd always perceived. I wondered what he was doing here as he flashed a smile, his well-aligned white teeth sat perfectly, and he had white gap teeth in between his two front teeth making him look endear

Andrew's Pov"We've been surrounded" I heard him yell as the realization dawned on me.The realization hit me hard that the boy standing beside Chris all this while was one of Lucy's rogues, and he had just betrayed us.Panic ensued as chaos erupted in the camp. The others had quickly turned their attention to the sudden attack. I searched for Chris and spotted him as he struggled to stay conscious, clutching his bleeding stomach.It was the full moon and I wasn't ready for all this unfolding drama, I was driven by anger and protectiveness and I swiftly fought back against them.I was filled with rage as I unleashed my power, displaying my dominance over them, but we were already caught off guard, and the battle was fierce.This wasn't what I was expecting as I looked around me in confusion.Everyone was busy fighting for their lives, I knew we had a great journey before us and we needed our strength for it.I turned to get a few men by my side, Marcus was one of them."You will hav
Amelia's POV"What did you just do?" a voice said behind me as I gasped, covering my lips with my hand."I swear, it wasn't intentional," I said in fear, wondering what had come over me."We need to tell the leader.""This is punishable by death," different voices said behind me when I spotted Greg and Zoey coming toward me."What's it? What happened?" Zoey asked, taking me into a warm embrace."I don't know," I said with fear, my voice quivering."I don't know what has come over me. She was taunting me, and I got angry and pushed her," I said, and Andrew ran to me."Are you okay?" he asked with care as I shuddered."I don't know what came over me, but I hope she isn't dead," I said with fear, my hand paced across my stomach."Send for the pack doctor," he said as he turned to Ruby's minions."What's going on? What happened?" he asked as they immediately pointed at me accusingly."She pushed her," one said."Why?""Alpha?""I said, why did she push her?" he asked again, marching towar
Chris's Pov"Isn't that fur?" The voice said as I turned around to look at Dove."Why would you bring a cat in here?" He asked one of his men as I heaved a sigh of relief."Congratulations. You passed the test." The chief said as I turned with a small smile."Welcome to town.""So we'll take our leave now." The hunter said as we turned to leave."Not so fast." Dove suddenly called out."Why?" I asked."We need to test the little girl too." He said as we all turned to Virtue."How're you?" Playing with her hair, he asked."I'm fine.""Okay, what are you doing here?" But she didn't say a word as she just stared at him."Who are they to you? Your parents?" He asked again as she just shook her head."Well, what's going on here?""Where are your parents?" He asked again."Dead." She whispered."Sad, sorry for your loss, who killed them?" He probed, desperately hoping she would call our names, but she was just calm staring at him."I thought you said she was your daughter? Was she kidnapped
