Chris Pov"That's awesome." She said."What do you mean? We could be killed.""Thank you, good sir," I said as he walked away."Why are you so happy?" I asked."This is terrible news," I added."It's been my dream to come here." She said,"But do you know we could be killed?" I asked."How? How will they notice the difference?" She asked."We need to go back, this isn't safe," I said But before she could give me a reply, the little girl ran off as we went after her only to see a beautiful sight that lay before us."Wow." She said running around the hilltop with Virtue, that's the name she gave her.Their laughter filled the air, infectious and joyful. The sight of her sheer delight brought a wide smile to my face, and for a moment, I forgot about the trials and hardships we had endured.The grass beneath our feet was a vibrant green, soft and inviting. It tickled our toes as we walked, adding a sense of whimsy to our exploration."You have to slow down! They mustn't notice that you'
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
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 kidnapp
Chris' Pov"Mum?" Zeal called out as the woman held her in a tight embrace."Where have you been all this while my baby? I've been searching for you." She said with tears in her eyes as the hunter and I stared in shock."Have you eaten? Are you okay?" "Did anyone hurt my baby?" "How're you?" She asked not giving Zeal a moment to talk."Are you my mum?" Zeal asked again as I stared at the two, clearly confused."Can someone tell me what's going on here?" The hunter asked his hands running through his hair."Yes please, what's going on here?" I added as the lady broke down in tears… fresh tears running down her face."It's okay, it's okay my dear." Her husband cooed as Zeal just turned away."What's going on?" I asked, going towards her."Why is she calling you her daughter Vera? What's going on? I thought your mother was still in the pack." I asked as her body vibrated with sobs."Come on, this wouldn't help." I cooed, my hands playing with her silk hair."They aren't my real parents
Chris's Pov"You alone knows where she's kept." She yelled with her hands on my throat."What's going on with you?" The hunter asked, running to her and she pushed him away."He knows, he knows where my baby is." She said pointing at me."What do you mean I know where your baby is? Are you trying to call me a kidnapper or what?""Calm down Chris." The hunter yelled out, but I didn't give him a listening ear."He knows where she is, he knows." She cried as I just shook my head. She needs treatment. The loss of her children is affecting her. I said getting up to leave."I'm so sorry for the embarrassment Chris." The hunter said as I didn't say a word and rather carried Virtue."Please show me where I can lay her," I said as he took me to a dark room."Here." He said as I lay her down, removing hair from her face."Who's she to you and are you really dating Vera?""No, we just used it to cover up and she's nothing to me, just Zeal's adopted child.""We saw her when we were trying to fle
Chris pov"What are you doing here?" The hunter asked, running to her as he gave her clothes to use in covering herself.It was already taking another turn."You left the house some minutes ago, what are you doing here naked?" He asked again this time his voice filled with hate and bitterness."How dare you, Dove?" He said as he attacked Dove who stared in shock."It's not what you think." He tried saying, but the hunter wasn't listening so he attacked him."How dare you? I trusted you." He said giving Dove some blows who strangely didn't return it.The men tried separating them, but the hunter seemed to be very strong and didn't let go of him."You have to Calm down," I said to the hunter taking him from Dove."You're a disgrace, a disgrace to everyone around you. Having sex with a married woman." The hunter said as he bent his head in shame."Did you do that?" His men asked in awe."Even if he did, will he accept it?" I chipped in as Dove turned to us."Tonight I see your foolishnes
Chris povI woke up, the morning sun shining brightly in my eyes.I yawned as I sat up, shielding my eyes from the light."Where am I?" I pondered, taking in the little house that looked familiar.I tried getting up, but a sharp pain shot through my back."Urgh," I said, falling back on the bed while letting out a scream as my back came in contact with the foam."What's happening to me?" I said, sitting uncomfortably because every part of my body hurt terribly."Are you okay?" Zeal asked walking into the room as I shot her a stare."Zeal? You're okay." I said as she nodded, the memory of the night before rushed into my head."Where is this place?" I asked in horror."The town." She said flashing me a small smile."I can't stay here, we have to leave," I said, struggling to get up."Leave? Can you see your situation? You can't even walk, where do you expect us to go? At least wait till you heal."No, I can't. Dove knows our identity." I said as she stared at me."And you're still alive
Chris Pov"What are you doing here?" I asked in awe, staring at him as he pushed me outside walking into the house."You don't have any right to do this." I spat while walking towards him as he just sat on the chair like no one was talking to him.""Please leave now," I said, not raising my voice so as not to wake Sarah who would be embarrassed to see him after yesterday's incident."Tell me, what's your reason? What's your mission? Why are you in town?" He asked as I stared at him."Your life is in my hands, Alpha Chris. I can do whatever I want with you, so just answer me." He commanded."What exactly do you want to know?""What's your mission? Why did you come here?" He questioned as I just shook my head going towards the table."Like you would believe it I told you," I said to him,"Try me." "Well, it wasn't my idea to come here. There's an issue in my pack, I tried escaping, but the tunnel we fell in brought us here." I said as he looked at me without saying a word."What?" I as
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 "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
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
Chris Pov"You two, stop right there." He ordered as we paused in our tracks."Hey, Dove." How're you doing?

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 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
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
