*LAIN*I felt horrified as the elders of the pack called Drex to come to the front and what they said left me speechless.Drex looked at me puzzled."Drex as you are the beta of the moon raiders pack we hereby make you the acting Alpha of the pack until Lain's trial."I turned to look at my best friend and I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.Everyone in the room bowled their heads to Drex with utter respect and I did the same as the anger filled my veins.As people began to congratulate Drex I noticed a small smile on his face.The bastard actually looked happy to take my place thinking that he could replace me.Our eyes locked in a frenzy and he looked away amidst the tension.I walked away trying to think of a way to get myself out of this mess.I had so many questions and the only person who would be able to answer me is none other than Velvet.She planned this scheme and I have a feeling that this wasn't just to get her freedom.It's something bigger than this.I found Ve
*LAIN*Freya Allan finally gave up and sat on the sofa running her fingers through her hair tiredly."You okay? It looks like you're having a nervous breakdown."She looked up meeting my gaze and glared at me."Don't you realize that we are going to be stuck here all night? I don't understand why you're so calm right now."I sat beside her."Well I guess we don't have any food or water here but at least we have each other and that's what is important."She cocked a brow at me."Really?" She taunted quietly, making me smile .She groaned deeply.Let me try to be helpful so that she doesn't suspect that I have something to do with this situation."Uh how about you try calling Alpha Dax your boyfriend?" She arched a brow at me."There's no cell service and besides Alpha Dax already has a mate and he's like a big brother to me."I sighed with relief.I swallowed hard."Look I'm sorry."She scoffed in annoyance."For what?"I shrugged carelessly."For everything and for acting stupid can
*DREX*I know that Lain doesn't want my help but deep down he's still my best friend and I'm not abandoning him anytime soon.I decided to keep an eye on Velvet's family. Something about her release was fishy.It looks like the brainwashed elders of the pack were brainwashed or something.I remained in the shadows and one day I saw Velvet giggling like a banshee with one of the elders.What was up with them?I took out my phone and began taking a video of them as Velvet shamelessly leaned in and kissed the old man passionately on the lips.I gagged inwardly as she pulled and the old geyser had the audacity to spank her butt cheek as they went inside.I decided to take a closer look as I watched the windows searching for them. Luckily for me the door was left open and I slipped inside unnoticed.My ears perked up at the mere sound of groans and I followed the sound trying to be as silent as possible.I reached the hallway and slowly opened the door as my eyes widened in shock when I s
*EMBER*I stood before the Axel, my fiery aura casting a warm glow around us. Axel's fur bristled with excitement as he gazed into my mesmerizing eyes, filled with flickering flames."You are the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on," Axel whispered, his voice filled with awe and admiration.I was thrilled and smiled, my lips curling into a playful grin. "And you, my dear werewolf, are the most intriguing being I have ever encountered. Your wild spirit calls to me in ways I never thought possible."As we stood there, the crackling of the flames mingling with the Axel's low growls, a sense of longing filled the air. I stretched out my hand, my fingers trailing along Axel's fur, sending shivers down his spine.I love how he submits to me."I have never felt this way before," Axel confessed, his eyes locked on mine. "I feel like I could burn for eternity in your presence and never tire of it."I leaned in closer, my lips brushing against his fur as I whispered, "Then let us
*LAIN*The signs were all there along and this time I wasn't going to wait for anyone to ruin my happiness.I was back in pack and this time I was the Alpha and the elders of the pack apologized to me for the ill treatment I had received during the trial.But I've definitely learnt something in this life that only a few people who have your back will stick around and offer you the support that you need otherwise the rest of them are just vultures.I have a mate now.I have a daughter.What more could I ever want?"I want us to settle down, Lain," Axel muttered quietly.He had just mated to Ember and they had become one just like me and Freya Allan.A part of me was still recovering from the shock."You want us to get married?" I asked curiously.Good thing I was alone in my office.He nodded quietly."Yes, let's marry our mates."He had a point.Because Rogue and Freya Allan were still living in Alpha Dax's pack and I had a feeling that he still didn't approve of me as Freya's mate.L
*MISTRESS*I chuckled to myself.It seems that these clowns were planning a fucking wedding and it's the perfect time to attack and show them who's in charge.Galen kept pacing around the room and it seems that his son was only getting worse now that Freya Allan was out of reach.The blood supply he had extracted from her was also finished as well and by the looks of it his son was on the verge of meeting the grim reaper.The doctors can't keep him longer but Galen was too stubborn to even see the truth.He was still in denial.It was a risky move but I decided to approach him in an attempt of offering him some piece of closure even though it was out of my comfort zone.I walked towards him and placed my hand on his shoulder.He looked up meeting my gaze and he looked pissed off.I withdraw my hand."What do you want?" He snarled angrily.I fought the urge to roll my eyes at him.I forced a smile and pouted my lips."Galen darling, I have a simple solution to all your problems."He na
*LAIN*My head was still reeling from the shock and when I tried to call that number again the line wouldn't even go through.I groaned deeply, running my fingers through my hair.Freya Allan was always right about these people and they'll never leave us alone and now that Rogue is in the picture her life is in danger as well.A few days earlier Freya Allan had insisted that I do another DNA test secretly and I was against the idea but eventually I had to give in and when the results finally came back they were positive.Rogue is my flesh and blood and nothing will ever change that.But the revelation of the first DNA test only means that someone tampered with the first test and I have a strong feeling that Velvet had something to do with it.I sat in my office chair debating my next move because I wasn't letting the dark tide ruin my happiness. They did it years ago and I won't let history repeat itself.There was a knock on the door and I snapped out of my thoughts.I had to get ba
*HEROD*Just as expected Lain had fallen into our trap and went ahead to plan the wedding despite what the mistress had left him behind.What happened to that kid was too cruel and her death still hangs over my head because I am filled with guilt."You didn't have to kill that little girl, we could have murdered someone else or even one of her parents."Her screams still filled my ears and on top of that I couldn't get that gruesome scene out of my head.It kept replaying in my head over and over again and I couldn't shake off the feeling that something dark was always lurking in the darkness.Missy put on her bra and I have a strong feeling that Galen is going to give her an earful because she's been avoiding his calls and she hasn't gone back to his house since we left the hospital.It's been two fucking days.When I say fucking days I actually mean that bedroom shit.She pouted her lips."Come on, Herod , it was necessary to kill a little girl so that Lain doesn't get too comfortab
