After yanking off the masking tape, I slowly opened the box. My eyes widened when my nose was hit with a foul smell and when I peered inside the box; my eyes widened even further

Right inside the box was a human heart that had turned black from early signs of decaying

Taped to a corner inside the box was a hand written note that read;

'A little gift from me to you, I got it from your man; Nikolai. I hope you like it because it came straight from the HEART.

Love, Eliana'

What the hell?

I reached into the box, making sure my hand didn't graze the heart and pulled the taped note out so I could see it better. I slammed the offensive box close and turned away from it with the note in my hands, walking over to the window and opening it to let in clean air

I inhaled the cool night air deeply with my eyes closed, trying to rid my nose of the foul smell from the box. My wolf was pacing back and forth in my head, growling and snarling

    Greyson's POV I woke up in the morning feeling well rested and refreshed than I had felt since I arrived at the Silver Moon pack. Last night, after I had returned from my run; I shifted back to my human form before I walked through the gates where Jackson was waiting with clothes for me to put on since the ones I left in had ripped to shreds when I shifted. I had accepted the clothes from him gratefully and put them on before bading him good night and trudging back to Alpha Scott's house. After a quick cold shower, I fell into the welcoming hands of sleep the very moment my head touched the pillow and slept like a baby.I smiled at the memory as I stretched a little in bed before getting on my feet and doing more stretches. I headed to the shower after, eager to start the day and put my plans into actionMy wolf stirred in my head as he awoke and shook out his fur. He purred lowly in his throat, he had enjoyed the late night run immensely and had slept just as soundly as I

    Harvey's POV I was running through the same foggy and dark forest, my hands were tied up and I kept tripping over because of it. Every time I fell I pushed myself up with all my might and continued runningI didn't know what or who exactly I was trying to get away from, but I knew that whatever it was had me scared My breathing and my heart beat were so loud that I almost couldn't hear anything else apart from them.AlmostBecause I most definitely heard the flapping of huge wings and that dreadful raven call that made cold sweat break out all over my body and a chill to run up my spine It was most definitely her!The girl who could turn into a bird I pumped my legs faster, my breathing coming out in smoky puffs in the air due to how cold the forest was "Kraa-Kraa-Kraa!"The shrill caw sounded so close that I whipped my head to look behind only for me to trip over my feet and fall face first to the ground"Ugh" I groaned in pain as my abdomen had hit the ground really hard, k

    Harvey's POV "Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking. I saw you two kissing"Oh noThis couldn't be happeningHe had actually seen us??Oh my goddess This was bad. Really bad Say something, Harvey!I forced my lips open"Z...Zach I-I can explain, really. It wasn't what you thought it was, trust me"He chuckled wryly"Oh yeah? So what exactly was it? Because what I clearly saw were two mates kissing passionately with reckless abandon in the corner of a very visible spot""What-What were you even doing there? H-How did you-?" I spluttered, not knowing what to say or do"Oh, I'm sorry. Was I not supposed to see it? I thought you wanted everyone to see since you were quite in plain sight" he sneered with thick sarcasm coating his tone I closed my eyes, sighing"Zach, please-"He cut me off "You don't have to explain because honestly; I don't want to hear it. Kayden was right, trying to separate two fated mates is next to impossible. So I've decided to step back before I make a fool o

    The girls walked away with their arms linked together and I turned back to Wesley "What happened?" I demanded"Priestess Anya is back in the pack's premises"My eyes widened slightly"Really? Well that's great news, let's go see her so she can tell us what she found out"Wesley bit his lip, looking hesitant"See that's the thing; she told us she wanted to be alone for a while. She said she would find us later when she's ready"I scoffed "You're kidding, right?"He shook his head solemnly"I'm actually not, I'm afraid"I rolled my eyes and sighed"Whatever, I guess we wait for her then. By the way, did you get rid of that box like I asked you to?"He nodded quickly "Yes, Alpha Greyson. I did""Good" I mouthed and started walking back over to where Kayden was sitting. I arched a brow when Wesley fell in step beside me"Alpha Greyson, aren't you curious to know how both the letter and the box got here? I mean, don't you find it strange that Eliana even knows that you're here instead

    Greyson's POV "Remind me again why you're suddenly so interested in who delivers packages to my house?" Kayden asked as we stopped in front of the entrance to the packhouse"I already told you; I'm investigating""Investigating what exactly?"I sighed "I'll tell you when I find something so just open the door and take me to Jackson""Fine"He reached out, grasped the doorknob and twisted it. The door creaked open and he stepped inside with me close behind himThe Silver Moon's packhouse was three times smaller than that of my pack. There were only a handful of unmated male wolves sitting around in the general living room playing video games and conversing loudly amongst themselvesThe room however, immediately quieted down the moment Kayden and I appeared in their line of sight. Their eyes widened almost at the same time when they recognized me and they all shot to their feet, abandoning whatever it was they had been doing"Alpha Greyson" They all chorused, baring their necks I no

    Greyson's POV "Hey boys! What did I miss?"Dean and I both turned to the entrance of the living room where the voice had come from to see Priestess Anya standing there in a floral sundress that showed off the flawless skin of her shoulders, smiling brightly at us Dean ground his teeth together before uncurling his fingers from my collar and shoving me back roughly. I staggered back for only a second before I caught myself "Why so much tension in the air? What's going on?" Anya asked in a quiet voice as she glanced from me to Dean who had stalked off to the farthest corner of the room and stood rigidly with his back to usI felt slightly guilty because I knew telling him to his face that I didn't trust him had hurt him deeply. But I honestly had no other choice, I had been betrayed before by two people who had once meant the world to me so I wasn't going to rule anyone out as a potential traitor anymore.No matter how close I was with that person I cleared my throat and turned to An

Dad? What's going on here? Did dad bring Alpha Greyson home to talk about pack matters?" I asked in a wary voice as I prayed to the goddess that it really wasn't what I was thinkingGreyson wouldn't dare....... right?The man in question snorted "Pack matters, huh? Well, if you want to consider the fact that you still haven't told your parents I'm your mate as 'pack matters' then fine; we were discussing pack matters"My whole world spun and my breath hitchedEven my wolf paused in surprise He daredHe actually dared!He told t

I listened as he calmly explained to her what her rejection would do to me When he was done, Harvey's complexion paled slightly as her lips parted; her pupils dilating in shockOh my goddessShe wasn't lying.

How was your nap?" She greeted with a smile and I puffed out a breath "It was fine but I almost overslept. Where is Martha? Does she already have Mr O'Brien ready to go?" I asked"Yes, she does.

    Greyson's POV I strode into the tower that overlooked the western gateAlmost all the warriors in the pack had already gathered there with Dean and Peyton at the forefrontThey all bowed to me as I walked past them and over to Dean who was standing in front of the computer monitors that was displaying the live surveillance video that was being captured by the cameras attached to the western gate "Greyson, you're here" Dean uttered when he noticed me "Where are they? Show me" I uttered as I glanced from one screen to the other"That one" Dean pointed to the monitor in the middle and I leaned forward as I peered at itEven with the darkness of midnight, I could clearly see unmistakeable figures of at least 20 rogues standing just a feet in front of the gate and two others at the forefrontOne of the figures at the front looked like that of a woman while the other definitely belonged to a man"It's definitely her" I muttered and Dean nodded"Yep. So what do we do now?" He asked and I

    Harvey's POV"I'm going to kill her" Ravina swore with determination and my eyes widened slightly"I'm going to kill that bitch in the slowest and most painful way possible!" She shrieked with a blazing look in her eyes as she stared off into the distance I waved a hand in front of her face to get back her attention and her eyes slowly returned to mine"That's fine, if you want to avenge your family's death then we won't stop you but I just want you to understand one thing. We really aren't the bad guys in this story, Eliana is the villain here and I'm sorry that we kidnapped you and brought you here against your will but that's because we really need your help" I implored and she exhaled a shaky breath that I knew was an attempt to calm herself"What do you need from me?" She asked"The poison you created, it's infected my mate who also happens to be the Alpha of this pack and we really need you to concoct the permanent cure. I know that you're the only one who can do it and that's

    Greyson's POVPeyton and I stopped before the northern gate where Dean and Wesley happened to be waitingI eyed the towering gate, still not believing that there were rogues who were willing to call a truce waiting on the other side.Dean walked up to me, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand "You ready to do this? Should I tell them to open the gate?" He asked and I nodded"Yes but how many of us are going out? There shouldn't be too many people so they won't get scared and run off" I replied"Relax, I thought of that. It's just going to be me, Peyton, that damn traitor because - he's the only one they trust - and you" he uttered and I grunted in approval"That's good. Tell them to open up so we can get this over with"Dean nodded before raising the walkie-talkie to his mouth and pressing down on the button"Open her up, boys. We're going through" he into the receiver to the men up in the tower who controlled the gate A crackling sound pierced the air from the walkie-talkie before a

    Harvey's POVI watched as some of the colour drained from Greyson's face as he continued to stare at the drawing of the red-haired woman I had done the very next day after I had dreamt of her for the first timeMy brows furrowed slightly as I tilted my head in confusion at his reactionWhy did he look like he had just seen a ghost?"Greyson" I called and he flinched slightly before looking up at me "What's wrong? You suddenly turned almost as white as a sheet"He exhaled a deep breath and closed his eyes before opening them again "You.... You've been dreaming about her? This woman?"I nodded "Yes and I've never seen her before in my life. I have no idea who she is so that's what makes it kind of confusing. I want to know why I keep dreaming about her and just WHO she is"He swallowed thickly before slowly returning my sketchbook to me and I took it from him while watching him with narrowed eyes."I know who she is" he said suddenly and my eyes widened"You....do?!"

    Greyson's POVI turned to Dean, Adrian and Jeffrey "Let's do this"They all nodded once and we all forged ahead into the mall, leaving Zeena to wait by the trucks.We stepped into the bright and fairly busy building filled with people walking by from all directions, going in and coming out of different stores I squinted into the distance and saw Ravina slowly plop onto a chair in a resting area that had pretty wooden chairs and tables for people who wanted to take a break from shopping or who needed where to sit on as they ate."She's over there" I said, nodding towards her "Let's spread out around her in a circle""Sure"We all spaced out so that people wouldn't know we actually came together and that way; we wouldn't draw so much attentionI got to the resting area first and took a seat at a table on Ravina's right. Dean, Adrian and Jeffrey smartly obeyed my orders and sat at tables that enabled us to form a sort of circle around her I watched from the corner of my eye as she pull

    Greyson's POVI rubbed my chin with my thumb then looked up at Wesley whose eyes were cast downwards I was still with him in the cell and though I had realized that the only way to get the rogues to stop following Eliana was to offer them asylum; I still needed a way to actually make it happen"If I'm going to offer them a chance to start over as pack wolves, I'll need to meet them and talk to them in person. It's the only way they'll believe it"Wesley sighed as he nodded slowly "Yes, I know"I cocked my head "Oh really? Well I assume that means you can arrange a meeting between me and a small group of willing rogues, right?"Wesley remained quiet and I took another step closer to him"You know what punishment has been given to traitors who betrayed their packs since the beginning of time, don't you? I'm giving you a chance to extend the number of days you have on this earth so I advise you take it or I'll order for you to be executed this instant so we can just end all of this" I
