Shantel's POV.I reached the route to the house of the new witch I planned to meet for a long time.My heart was thumping in fear, but I knew I needed to do it anyway.I thank the Alpha for almost catching me, if he didn't, I wouldn't be this motivated to reach the witch's house.I stared at the building, wondering if she was in, and why. It was dark outside the windows and there were no cars parked or pedestrians walking around.No signs of life other than the light inside and the lights that were on upstairs. When she opened the door, I stepped forward hesitantly."Hello, my name is Shantel and I came for a reason." I said immediately."Come in." I went in, my nerves suddenly on high alert."The witch will be back soon." I blinked in surprise at the lady who opened the door, I was surprised she wasn't the witch.I swallowed nervously as my eyes scanned her house."Where is she?" I asked.She smiled at my nervousness. "You'll see her in a bit." Her accent was strange but familiar. I
Shantel's POV."I've been waiting for days." I said immediately the witch came."Sorry, I had business to attend to." She smiled."I'm a busy witch." She added."I want someone dead." I said immediately, her eyes met mine."Wow, you don't waste time." She said,"I've wasted enough time." I replied, the memory of Leila possibly being the Luna hit me.I clenched my fists immediately, the old pain returned again, the anger was towards the fact that all my plans failed."And it'll be an added bonus for you." I added immediately."What is the added bonus?" She asked."She has unbridled powers." I said."The witch who directed me here told me so." I added quickly."Then I'm more interested than ever." The witch said."I'll do anything to add more powers to mine."I smiled, relieved that what I planned will happen, I couldn't wait to see Leila dead, couldn't wait for her to disappear.That way she'll no longer be a threat in our future. "So, how will you make her disappear?" I asked."I do
Darren's POV."So I promised you a massage." She said immediately we went into the room.My heart thumped excitingly, I couldn't wait for the massage.She pulled me to the bed, walking into the bathroom she came back with essential oils.I just watched her with an amused expression on my face, my heart a little too happy.But I couldn't blame myself, I was with my mate and she made me extremely happy."So should I undress?" I raised my eyebrows."Nah, I'll do everything." She said making me sit on the bed again.She began taking off my clothes, her hands gliding across my skin in slow, smooth movements. When my shirt was taken off, I felt so comfortable, it was like she caressed every single part of my body. The air that rushed to my bare chest tickled my lungs, causing me to inhale more deeply. My eyes drifted closed as I relaxed while she touched me.I was completely naked, she stared at my body, her cheeks flushing.She had a sweet smile on her lips as she started kissing me al
Shantel's POV.Everything about her, everything she did enraged me.I just couldn't stand her, seeing her everyday in the training room made my head spin like crazy.I just wanted her gone immediately, my wish to see her dead or disappear increased so much.And it was only getting worse. She would be there every time I turned around and I could already feel the anger boiling up inside me.If I could get rid of Leila immediately, I wish the amount of hatred I had in me could make her disappear.I could be free from that burden. From that pain that always plagued me when she was near me.I was happy when I came back from the witch's place, but right now, I'm not.I wanted her dead immediately, my wish to see her dead or disappear increased so much.The hate, and the desire to hurt her were eating me alive with every passing second.Her name didn't even sound right when it was coming out of my mouth, it was just a curse word.It felt like someone was burning my heart.And I couldn't han
Shantel's POV.I decided to meet Dean, he must have been in hiding.And I needed to know if he'd help me, so I stared at the area.I made sure the guards close to his room were totally out.I opened the door slowly and cautiously, and walked towards him. He was still sound asleep, but he looked peaceful.I tapped him and he stood up immediately, his eyes scanning the room.I gasped when I saw his body, he had a bandage wound and it was bleeding from the bandage.He looked so pale, almost as if he didn't eat. His hair is also messy, some of it even reaching his shoulders. It looks like there are some dirt stains on his clothes. I now realized he was actually hurt and I couldn't see it earlier because he covered himself with a duvet.I rushed to his side, as he groaned, immediately slipping on the floor."Are you okay?" I asked.Fear crept my whole body as I saw him shaking."How did you get hurt?" I asked."I ran from the guards who almost caught me." He said breathing hard.I made hi
Shantel's POV.I didn't expect to end up taking care of Dean, but I really needed an ally in the pack.I watched him as he slept deeply, after he gave me that scare.I couldn't even believe I was scared for him, but I got attached to him, and more than ever, I needed whatever plans I would make run smoothly.And he was good at making plans run smoothly, so I tapped him, hoping he'll wake up soon.I don't know who was knocking on the door earlier, but I hope they left.My screams may have alerted them, and I knew they'll soon break down the door.I watched him again, hoping he'll wake up, so we'll think of what to say. The guards will definitely ask him why he hasn't appeared for duty for a while now.I tapped him gently at first, my hands feeling his temperature for a while,all I could receive when I tapped him was a grunt.I tapped him again, harsher this time."Yeah." He sighed."Wake up, I think they are still waiting outside your door." I whispered."Who?" he asked with a frown,I
Shantel's POV.Meeting with Dean made me feel better, at least I knew that whatever plans I formed while relaxing here would fall into place soon.I thought of the way I could lure Leila out and call the witch, but I knew it wouldn't happen.I could see it failing already, we didn't like each other and she definitely won't follow me.I needed her alone at a particular place for her to be taken.Leila won the heart of every pack member already, not my heart but anyone but me and Dean liked her.This was why it was so hard to think of a way to take her to a place free from any pack member.I knew the Alpha hasn't made an official announcement of her as the Luna, but everyone knows she's his mate and they even call her the Luna.I was hoping he wouldn't make an announcement, because that made me know they have not mated yet, but I knew it was too late to hope he won't announce or mate with her.I rolled my eyes as I thought of even joining a celebration with Leila as the Luna, I know it'
Leila's POV."I think I'll get going." I said to Beta Aidan after I felt exhausted.My day went out as I planned, and I was tired from the little race I had with Beta Aidan."You need to rest, you ran with me today and not the Alpha." Beta Aidan laughed, his eyes held a teasing glint to it."Yeah I will, I hope he has finished." I stared at the moon already forming to its fullest form."Yeah me too.""I'll get going,I need to rest, you've shown me that the Alpha was simply cuddling me." I said and he threw his head back laughing. "You're his mate, he'll definitely take it easy on you, he doesn't want you tired easily, but he definitely stresses me out.""Bye." I waved as I quickened my steps to the room.I opened the door slightly, staring at his back from where I stood.He was ransacking papers recklessly, not bothering to look up when I entered.I smiled, "You're still busy." I walked to him, wrapping my hands around his neck.He smelt so nice, like he just took a shower, "Yeah, I'
