Damien’s povI stood in the practice room. It was silent, too silent. I could only hear the sound of my boots as I walked around and sliced my sword through the air.I lifted my sword and started to pace. I wasn’t attacking anything. I didn’t even know why, but I couldn’t stop it. It wasn’t exercise. Or training.I was just… pissed off.I had no idea where to go from here.I had been there for longer than an hour, two maybe, I wasn’t sure, or bothered.I couldn’t stop thinking about her.Sirella.What was she doing now? Was she still with my father?What were they talking about? Why was he giving her so much attention?I screwed my face in annoyance and swung the sword. It smashed into the wooden dummy before me. The crack resonated through the room.“Worried about something?” I heard a voice as I turned around fast.It was General Rowan.He walked into the training room, his hands behind his back. His face was serene, but I knew his eyes were taking my measure.“Why are you here alo

Sirella’s povI was tired.Not just bodily tired, but mentally tired in a way I had never experienced before. My whole being felt heavy. My arms were heavy. My legs were heavy. My chest was heavy.I didn’t get a wink of sleep as I laid there in the dark, staring up at ceiling.I rolled over.I screwed my eyes shut, willing myself to sleep but still nothing.I was scared but I didn’t know why. I hadn’t done anything strenuous today. I had just walked with the Alpha today. Talked a little. Smiled when I didn’t feel like talking, and eaten food without even noticing what it tasted like.I sighed and turned over again.And felt the pain in my chest. The ache. The same one that had been growing worse since he had left me. Since I’d left... him.Kieran.It felt like my chest tightened more.Where was he?Was he all right?Was he cold? Was he hungry? Was he being treated badly?I closed my eyes and I could see his face. His smile. The way his eyes would light up when he laughed. The sound of

Sirella’s povThe first light of dawn stole through my window like a thief. I perched on the side of my wrecked bed, looking at my trembling fingers in that thin light. My skin was too tight, as if I could peel it back and still find Donovan's greasy touch against me.I started to remember last night. How he had made his way with me and I gulped. I hated myself for feeling this way. How could I let him do this to me?I shook my head. I wanted to kill myself for letting him blackmail me with Kieran. But I knew I had to protect him or if my father heard rumors of how Kieran wanted him gone, he would kill Kieran without a second thought.I gulped and held back my tears which were falling down.A rap at the door jarred through me as I was shaken from thoughts. Who is it now?“My lady?” A timid maid’s voice echoed through the wood. “Would you want me to draw you a bath?”That bastard Donovan must have sent the maids to make me feel at home but after what he had done, I felt terrible.I tri

Sirella’s povThe morning air was cool. The sky was a soft blue, the sun not yet risen fully. I walked out of the packhouse, needing to be by myself for a while. My mind was a whirl. My heart too heavy. I needed some breathing space.I passed the training areas, the gardens, nodded to warriors who saw me pass and nodded in return. I didn’t talk much. I walked to the forest to clear my head and Just kept walking and looking at trees, sky, earth beneath my feet. Everything seemed so silent. Overly silent.As I went on, I started noticing things.This place had guards. It had too many guards for a forest.I traced the guards to a warehouse as I saw a few were near the gates. Few near corners of the forest. Few near some buildings which looked old, forgotten and broken.Why were there so many guards?Why were they all carrying weapons?I just kept walking, pretending I hadn’t seen them. But all the while I was wondering. And worrying. Because something felt very wrong.And then I saw it.

Sirella’s povI didn’t stop running until I reached the edge of the packhouse. I ducked behind a tree and glanced up.Damien was there, speaking with a warrior.I blinked at him. He looked the picture of an insane man with what he was doing.I ducked into the crates and ran through the back door and sprinted to a hiding spot. I had to understand what was going on.But before I could go further, someone spotted me as I rushed out of there and into the forest as I headed straight to the packhouse.I needed to get home quickly.I didn’t stop running until I got into my room as I closed my door and locked it. My hands were shaking. I sat on the floor.What the fuck did I just watch?How the fuck could Damien do that?How could no one know?I wanted to scream. To tell Donovan.But…Would he believe me? That his son was trafficking people? Or selling them? Or whatever the hell he was doing?Would anybody? I didn’t think so and lay back on my bed, closing my eyes, letting myself drift off.

Sirella’s povI woke up early the next morning.The light was thin and failing so much so that it seemed as if the world were still asleep.But I didn’t sleep.Not after all I had heard. Not after everything I’ve seen.I sat up in my bed and looked at the wall.Damien.None of them were who they said they were.I needed more answers.I was the kind of person who had to have all the answers before I took action.I got up and dressed in the dark again. I put on dark clothes and soft soled shoes so no one could hear me walking.I opened my door slowly, peeking out. The hallway was empty. Good.I walked carefully down the hallway.At first, I didn’t really even know where I was going. I just kept doing what I had to do, based on my instincts.‘Keep searching,’ my insides told me.I walked by the dining room, then the kitchen, then the side halls.I came near the east side of the packhouse.Donovan had his study there.I stopped for one moment there.No one was allowed to the Alpha’s stud

Sirella’s povI couldn’t sit still in my room.My heart. It was beating too fast.I had to do something.I had to tell Kieran.He needed access to every piece of information I gained access to. But I couldn’t speak with him from the packhouse.Someone might hear me.There could be someone listening.I needed to be smart.I needed to find a safe place. I went to my closet and got a black hoodie and put the hood on my head making sure no one could even see my face. I then got out of the room and headed out of the packhouse.Quickly, carefully, I walked down the halls, and out the back door of the packhouse. Cold air immediately hit my face when I stepped outside.I had the old abandoned house down not far from the packhouse. It had been empty for as long as I could remember.It was perfect.The minute I got in, I closed the door and shut it as I turned around to smell the air. It smelled of dust and wood.The floorboards creaked as I walked forward but I didn’t mind.I’d gone to the r

Kieran’s povI was so mad. I could feel my entire body shaking as it felt like I was on fire.With what I had learned, I knew that no knowledge should go to waste and I needed to know how to use this against them.Donovan and Damien.They were criminals.They were traitors.They were stealing wolves and plotting something dark, something evil.I stormed out onto the training grounds.The sun was high, the heat seeping through my thin, darker red robes not bothering me one bit. I had to get eyes on the guards. I wanted them ready.I got into the training grounds and what I saw made my skin crawl. Some of the guards were laughing. A few were even throwing stones at one another.They played like children in the park.My blood boiled hotter.This was no time to play. I quickened my pace, my feet pounding the earth.It quit when I got there. They looked up from their places around the fire and they froze.They stared at each other with wide, frightened eyes.I stood before them, arms cr

Kieran’s povI snuck out of the barn, as silent as I possibly can as I made my way walking and slightly jogging.I got to the edge of the pack and zipped away with my super speed. The trees blurred by as I moved without holding back.I had to get out of Donovan's land and fast. I ran, and ran until I found myself at the borderlands between my pack's territory.I didn’t stop there either. I kept moving until I saw an old broken-down building far ahead.It was dark and there were no people around, perfect.As I ran, I got a call from someone as I halted and listened to the call. The allies I had sent messages to were at the building waiting for me. Good.I then walked up to the building and I noticed a couple of shadowy figures standing at.They were not moving, their gaze anchored to the shadows.I approached them with stealthy steps.They saw me and relaxed a little. “You made it,” one of them said.“Yeah,” I panted. “I’m here.”“And no one saw you?”“No,” I said. “I’ve been careful.
Mates Deception 131
Sirella’s povI could feel their eyes on me all throughout the day as I got out of my room after having my bath. I knew some of the guards watched and followed me and I knew who had sent them.Even when I went to my room, sometimes I’d hear footsteps outside.I knew they had been sent by Donovan.The trust was gone. He didn't believe me anymore.And he wanted to follow me, to see if I made a mistake.I kept my head low, pretending not to see them.I was careful about everything I did.Finally the day got over. I was sitting in my room on my bed with an open useless book, just pretending to read it.The house was quiet now.Most of the wolves were asleep.Even the guards had relaxed a little, but I knew they were still there, hiding in the dark corners.Then my phone vibrated.I jumped a little.I quickly grabbed it and checked the screen.Kieran.My heart started to race.I opened the message. “I’m at the barn. Come.”I got up slowly, trying not to make any noise.It was risky but I h

Sirella’s povI as sirella sat on the dusty floor. Cracks lined the walls and I admired how quiet it was here. It was always cold and dark. That’s what I loved most about this place. I held the phone in my hand tightly as I called Kieran. My hands were shaking a little but I still pinched myself every now and then to be more confident in myself.Finally, after a few rings, he picked up. “Sirella?” Kieran’s voice came through the phone. It sounded worried.“Hey, I’m here,” I said as I looked around to make sure no one was listening.“Are you okay?” He asked. “What’s going on?”I took in deep breaths and closed my eyes for a moment.How could I tell him? How could I tell him what I had witnessed? How could I tell him Donovan and Damien were more evil than we realized? I was already tired of saying that to him and I was sure he knew.“I’m alright,” I said after a second, keeping my voice steady."Sirella," Kieran said slowly, like he didn't believe me. "Don't lie to me." "I'm not lyin
Mates Deception 129
Kieran’s povI stabbed my fork into the meat harder than I needed to.I couldn’t get Donovan and how he was doing things in his pack out of my head.At first I had my doubts; perhaps he was just another greedy alpha like so many of the others. But now… now I knew something was deeper wrong. Stealing wolves? He was clearly using them against their wills.The way he acted.The way he smiled too much.The way he always had to be in control of everything and everyone around him. It made my skin crawl.I exhaled and lowered my fork.I glanced at my hands.I thought of Sirella and thought of her bruises I had seen.Bruises that appeared as if she’d been manhandled, thrown, injured.I haven’t asked her about it yet. I pushed it aside.Maybe I just didn’t want to hear her lie.Or maybe I just wasn’t ready to hear the truth.Something bad was happening to her and she was keeping it from me.“Why, Sirella?” I whispered to myself. “Why are you keeping secrets?”I sat back in the chair and rubbe
