Vincent's POV

I place my hand on my waist as I impatiently wait for the guard to return. I have been standing outside for a long while and the guard has not returned with a response from the werewolf committe. What is taking so long?

As if the Moon goddess hears my prayers, I hear creaking noise of the gate open which causes to me raise my head up and gaze the culprit. I expect it to be the guard but to my uttermost surprise, it is Elara. She has a frown on her face but once she notices my presence, a mischievous smirk settles on her face as she slowly approaches me.

What is she doing here though? I furrow my brows in confusion as she halts in her steps right in front me. I do not get what Elara has planned in her mind but I know for sure that she is up to no good.

"Well well well, we meet again, Kaid's brother.." Elara pauses to suck in her teeth and eye me suspiciously. "To be honest you do not look so well like the last time. Anything bothering you?" She raises a brow at me, her t

    Vincent's POV I sigh.heavily, unsure of what I am bracing myself for. I step into the large compound full of right security. Several wolves hang around, their claws and fangs out, ready to devour any intruder.One or the guards point to a small door on the left. I push the door open and step into the small room. Three thrones are arranged vertically, the three most powerful Alphas sit comfortably on the throne. They are the werewolf committe, the ones behind the welfare of the town."We have already attended to you. What more do you want?" The Alpha in the middle throne, the one who I recognize to be Alpha Thomas speaks in an impatient tone. His eyes are darted towards Elara's direction."Alpha Thomas, I am here with him." She pauses to point at me."He is here to plea for Akira's inno...."I interrupt Elara with a loud cough. "Allow me do the talking." I snap at her. She scoffs in response but surprisingly keeps quiet and allows me to do the talking."Greetings to you great Alphas of

    Vincent's POV Judgement time. My heart races extremely fast as I watch the Alphas lean closer to each other and make whispering noises, while contemplating on what judgement to pass on. I pause to sneak a glance at Elara and she has the same nervous look as I do.I sigh heavily and run a hand through my hair as I gaze at her. She notices my gaze and rolls her eyes at me. Weirdly, the Alphas are taking too long to drop their judgement. Their conversation almost escapates into an argument.Alpha Thomas eventually clears his throat and turns to I and Elara. Apparently, Alpha Thomas is the spokesman of the Werewolf committe. "Alright then. I and the Alphas have come to a conclusion. I hope you both take our opinion very well and work on it." He snaps at us.I nod my head in agreement and so does Elara. This time Alpha Robert is the one to speak. "The truth is that, this young man here dropped a very crucial point when he said Akira may not be the killer. It is always nice to keep an open

    Akira's POV I cross my legs on the plush couch and a frown grows on my face as my eyes settle on the wall clock. Vincent has been gone for surprisingly a very long time. It has been approximately six hours since he left, is he not going to return back home? Maybe I was too harsh on him? He is only doing all of this in my favour. I think I might have gone too extra by searching through his stuffs. I should just trust him the same way he trusts him. Screw all of this Akira!Should I just apologize to him when he returns home? That is if he even returns back home or should I make him so pancakes? He loves those. I facepalm and wave off such thoughts. Why am I acting like Vincent is my husband? I would not even call us friend, we are just two people sharing the same goal.Suddenly, a loud bang on the door startles me, interrupting my thoughts. I hastily scurry towards the direction of the door. I peep through the door hole and i see it is Vincent, he looks tired. I breathe a heavy sigh

    Akira's POV I slowly flutter my eyes open and they come in contact with a very peaceful version of Vincent. His eyes are shut close and i can help but admire how beautiful he looks when sleeping. His eyelashes are soft and long. I fight back the urge to caress his face. I gulp a lump down my throat as I clutch the bedsheets tight. What have I done though? Did I just have sex with my late husband's brother? I feel guilt wash over me and I release a sigh of frustration. My feelings are confusing me by the day. The more I draw closer to Vincent, the more I feel excited by his presence. I know I am doing the wrong thing, i know I should stop but I keep doing that.Is Kaid seeing us? How disappointed is he in me? I killed him and now I am having sex with his brother? I am such a horrible person!"Good morning." A familiar deep voice jolts me out of my thoughts and back to reality. I snap my eyes open and they come in contact with a beautiful pair of grey eyes. My heart races extremely fa

    Akira's POV Vincent shrugs lightly and waves it off but the suspicious look I give him causes him to throw his hands in the air and flash the phone screen in my face. It is a call from an unknown number. "Why are you not picking it?" I ask, furrowing my brows at him in confusion, mixed with slight suspicion at the way his face becomes slightly pale by my question."It is an unknown number Akira, I do not know who is calling." Vincent retorts. I roll my eyes at him. That should be more reason why he should pick the call. It could be Elara or Roman. Unless, Vincent might know who it is but is trying to cover it up in front of me. I eye him suspiciously and snap at him "How else are you going to know who is calling if you do not answer the call.""Come on Akira. More like those are a lot of reasons why I should not answer the call. It could be a prank call." Vincent trails off. I scoff and choke out a bitter laughter. Is he kidding me right now? Prank call?

    Vincent's POV I felt anger course through my veins as I watched Roman yell at Akira. I clenched my fist tight and gritted my teeth in anger as I noticed how Akira's face fell, her hands were shaky and as a matter of fact, her whole body trembled. I felt pity for her. She was already going through so much and now Roman was making it worse by making her feel severely guilty."Stop." I heard Akira beg in a shaky tone. I sighed heavily, as Roman continued to yell at Akira, I could slowly watch her break into pieces. She took a few steps backward and accidentally bumped into me.Akira's face softens, I hear her mutter something like. "I am not alone." I sigh heavily and push her behind me. I stand in front of Roman with a huge frown on my face. "Stop bullying her Roman. At least have some dignity. She is already feeling enough guilt. You are making things worse." I snap at him.Roman eyes me with disdain. He scoffs and shakes his head at the both of us. "So what are you guys now? A couple

I know you had a hand in Kaid's death! I do not know if it is because of the jealousy you always felt towards him or if it was because of your unrequited love towards Akira?" I blurt out. I actually regret saying my last statement because I know that the last thing I should be doing is involving her into any of this. I hear her scoff at me and before I can say anything, Akira runs away from me. "Unrequited love? Did that bitch tell you that I ever had feelings her?

Her eyes were covered in tears and she was lying carelessly on the floor, wailing.My entire body trembled before everyone. My heart raced extremely fast like a wild animal. The courtroom's tense atmosphere suffocated me but I refused to back down, I could not. Here I was, taking the blame for Kaid. I could not imagine the thought of my husband going to jail, I had to take the blame for him. Out of the love I feel for my husband, I insisted that I go to jail in his place.

Is it really possible to prove Akira not guilty? I would have to gather enough evidence to prove to the werewolf committe that she can wander the streets freely.I mutter a cuss under my breath and mentally scold myself for making such a huge promise. To grant her freedom? Vincent, you are fucking stupid. I rub my forehead and sigh heavily. My eyes settle back on Akira's confused face."What did you just say? I asked you a question." She raises her voice at me. Anyways, there is no going back on my word. I promised to grant her freedom and i will do whatever it takes to make that possible."I know how you badly want to leave this place. You hate it here with me. That is why you turned down the mate bo...." Akira does not let me finish my sentence, she scoffs loudly and curses under her breath."You have got to be kidding me. How does
