Chapter 49Rhys povSam snickered and rolled his eyes, “ you have always been my enemy,” he responded to her aggressively.His statement tore her and made her burst into a fresh round of tears. I pulled her to my chest and enveloped her in a warm hug.“ He… he used to be my good friend,” she sobbed and teared up more. I felt a liquid seep through my shirt and I needed no soothsayer to tell me that it was her tears.I brushed my hand over her hair and consoled her, “ stop crying, he isn't worth your tears, can you see that he is not even repentant?” I ran my hand over her back gently.“ Even though I felt that he had something to do with yesternight, I still had that little trust in him that it was probably one of his friends and not him. I guessed I judged wrongly,” she poured out her mind and sniffed.“ It's okay, everything will be fine,” she finally calmed down and laid her head on my chest.I turned and signaled to the guard that previously handed me the tablet, “ Head guard, appr

Chapter 50 Mara's pov I watched the argument that was brewing between Sam and Rhys, I just stood still while I watched the drama between the two of them. They kept bantering words until Sam suddenly mentioned Talia's name, Rhys suddenly froze and his heartbeat raced, making me stand up from his chest. I stared at his face but couldn't read his expression. “ Do you dare choose between Mara and Talia?” Sam persistently proposed and all Rhys did was to lower his gaze and stutter. He got angry and pinned down Sam. My heart clenched in pain and I couldn't describe the emotions that were running through my body, sadness, betrayal… were all I was feeling at this point. “ Let him go, Now!” I commanded unconsciously, my voice was so stern and cold that I almost doubted whether I was the one that spoke just now. “ Choose one just like he has said,” I added with a serious face. “ M… Mara, don't mind him,” she stuttered, trying to convince me. I didn't have it as anger was brewing inside

Chapter 51Mara’s povRay of sunlight seeped through the cotton and settled down on my face, I used my palm to obstruct it as I used to other one to cover my mouth from the yawn that threatened to escape from my mouth.“ Where am I? I asked no one in particular as I stared around the room in a dumbfounded expression.“ Ma'am, you are awake,” a maid ran to my side with a smile. The smile was that of relief which made me wonder what has happened while I was in deep slumber.“ Water please,” I requested in a hoarse voice, my throat hurts Soo much and It needs to be moistened.“ Here ma'am,” she handed me a water in a tray and beside it was porridge and soup.I took and drank just the water before placing the tray in the bedside table.“ Where is the Alpha? Why is everywhere silent as if they are brooding someone? What happened to me?” I bombarded her with questions.She smiled and patiently answered all my questions, “ I don't know where exactly the Alpha is but I heard that he is very b

Chapter 52Rhys pov“ Please get her away from here,” I said to Duncan who followed my Instruction and carried Mara away from the field.“ Alpha, the rogues are attacking, they are almost here,” a warrior shouted and was hit by a bullet from behind him which instantly made me panic.“ Take cover now!!!” I growled loudly.“ All the warriors should assemble,” I instructed and ran over to the storage room. We didn't know they were going to attack so we weren't prepared at all.I took out guns, swords and a few safety ammunitions that were within reach. “ Here,’’ I handed the materials over to each of them, I was glancing behind me at Intervals to see their closeness to us.They finally arrived at the opposite side of where we were, their leader looked very sure and confident that they were going to win which somehow bothers me. Also, rogues are known for their dubious act of fighting behind the shadow and not confronting us but these ones didn't just fight and kill most of our pack membe

Chapter 53Mara's povOur eyes met and she laughed at me, she took her gaze away and focused it on Rhys. They both intensified their gaze which made me kind of uncomfortable.None of them was willing to give up on the staring contest that Rhys even started moving in her direction like someone that was hypnotized.I couldn't take it any longer, a stream of tears started rolling down my face and my heart clenched in pain as it felt like I was stabbed in my chest. Different thoughts were running through my mind and I had to run away from the field.‘ Is Talia's return going to ruin everything? Is she back for Rhys?’ I thought as I sat down alone in the training field. Noone was there so I had enough time to meditate.‘ I don't think Rhys is that careless, also something is off about her sudden return so Rhys should have noticed as well,’ my wolf assured me, Interrupting my thought.I was still skeptical of her assurance, ‘ Did you see the look in his eyes? It was that of love and great a

Chapter 54Rhys pov“ Where is she?” I repeated my question, they all stared at me dumbfoundedly and didn't respond.“ You can continue,” I don't want to add pressure to the atmosphere so l left them to look for Mara. Since she isn't In the training ground, she should be in her room.I strolled casually to her room,it seemed strange but I found myself wanting to see her.“ Alpha,” a coy voice rang behind me, making me freeze immediately. I gritted my teeth together angrily because I could feel a headache coming, judging from the owner of the voice.“ Good morning, Are you here to see me?” I replied politely.‘ You don't have to fake it, I also dislike her,’ black teased, interrupting my thoughts.‘ Do you know that it's not so Polite to interrupt people,’ I barked at him and shut him off from my thoughts.“ Did you hear what I just said? Seemed like you zoned off,” Yara said, jotting me from my thoughts.“ Pardon? Can you repeat what you said? I was bothered by something.” She tugged

Chapter 55Mara's povI grasped as my heart beat faster. Pregnancy! How did it happen? How could it be positive? “ I asked myself. Tears circulated my eyes, I squat gently on the floor.I felt my pulse and gasped, “ I am pregnant,”Confusion clouded my face as nothing specific came to my head. “ How… How did it happen?” My lip shook and quivered.I checked my pulse again to confirm my doubt but it was still the same thing. I was feeling two pulses.Tears gathered in my eye, making me squat gently on the floor, “ why is today such a bad day for me?” I lamented, tears rolling uncontrollably down my cheek.Footsteps started drawing near me and approached me, I stood up in a jiffy and dusted my body. I wiped my nose and cleaned my eyes to prevent the person from suspecting that something was wrong with me. At least that was the last thing I wanted to happen.I touched my lip to see that some remains of my vomits still hung on the side. With a look of repulse and disgust, I rinsed it of

Chapter 56Rhys' POVI stared at my wrist watch for the fifth time in the last ten minutes, I wasn't one to be anxious but with the Moonlight Ball a day away, I needed everything to be perfect. I accepted Felix's suggestion to meet with a witch who could help speed things up. I'd been skeptical, knowing a bit of history between witches and wolves they didn't have a happy ending.I believed witches to be a bit different, imagining an old crone with warts and a crooked nose. But when she arrived, I was taken aback. "Alpha Rhys?" a voice called out. I turned to see a group of young women approaching. The leader, the witch Felix had described, stepped forward. She was tall, with sleek dark hair and eyes that seemed to change color from a dark brown to blue. "You must be Rhys, the Alpha," she said, her voice smooth. "I'm Elara it's a pleasure. I have been told you could use some assistance."I nodded, keeping my expression stern. "Yes. We need everything ready for the ball tomorrow. Can

Rhys's eyes were locked onto Mara’s irises as she held onto her silver flowing dress, with a soft smile creased on her face as she walked down the stairs.He couldn't help but stare at how beautiful she looked, walking down the stairs, graced in her beautiful silver dress.She was truly breathtaking, with her long red hair wrapped around in long waves with a small ribbon placed right on top. Her well-defined juicy lips with the upper lip almost in the shape of a heart that lingered a sweet, caring smile painted with deep crimson lipstick, and her pinkish cheeks and small apart little freckles all came into view when she came up close to Rhys. The space between them slowly closed up as the music by the garden sort of increased when he grabbed her by the hand.“You…” Rhys stuttered, staring into her eyes unable to look away. He’d slowly gone lost in them. Just when she etched closer, he leaned forward whispering into her ears. “You look so beautiful,” He said, with a smile creaesd on

Rhy’s POV Two rogues came barreling in. They were running right for me as I ducked taking both rogues down to the floor in seconds making sure to have them both wounded.I watched both rogues squirming on the floor as they clenched their throats and then I knelt on the floor and started shifting, seeing that I was slowly getting outnumbered. I stepped forward and then grabbed one of them stepping over top of him. And then I bared my teeth into his flesh, growling, forcing a permanent hole as I had him killed instantly as the others stood by watching the scene. A lot of rogue men hurried my way, coming in groups of four, and twos headed in my direction.My eyes for some annoying reason, slowly had its color changed under the influence of me being completely angry over the fact that she was being taken away by Giovanni and I was getting attacked by some unknown rogue men.“Where the hell are they coming from?” I scowled, trying to make my way through angry rogue men as they attacked.

RHYS POVMy knuckles gripped the steering wheel, turning white as I imagined all the ways I'd kill whoever must have done this.I wanted to make sure his death was so agonizingly painful that when I was done with him, he'd be begging for the blessings of death.Lost In my thoughts of torture, I didn't notice how much time had passed. I recognized the area immediately and felt relief pour through me as I neared the motel.I pulled up to the garage, squinting through the dark as I hopped out of my car. I walked close to the building, holding up my flashlight in the air.As I walked into the building, I realized there happened to be no locks on the door. I had my foot against the door, and in seconds the door creaked open.I flashed my light in the direction of the dark, knowing down my guts that it was somewhat dangerous being out here all alone. But I didn't care…Mara was all I cared about.I trudged further into the dark, with my eyes locked on the empty hallways up ahead. I wondered

Rhys POVI watched Talia walking out of the mansion quietly, a couple of days later. Her movements seemed quite suspicious as she hopped into her zooming off.I couldn't stand my Wolf from growling at the thought of her knowing something about Mara’s disappearance.I decided to follow her to find out where she was headed. The fact that I could have her whereabouts tracked by her scent made it quite easier.She took about four turns and then into an unknown part of the city before stopping in front of a bar. A bar is known only to be visited, by rebellions.“What the hell is she doing here?” I whispered to myself as I parked a few meters away from her, making sure to take full cover.I peeped through the rearview mirror of my car and saw that there was a black Benz parked behind me, blocking me from driving out. I lowered my head, to avoid being caught in the game.My eyes widened in shock at the realization of whom it was that had stepped out of the car.The one man I never imagined I

RHY’S POV I had my head lowered as I rummaged through the papers on my desk. I tried extremely hard to focus but the conversation from a couple of weeks ago with Yara, kept whirling in my head. “Go on,” My voice was short and my eyes never left the stack of papers. Ignoring the fact that I’d been on one paragraph for the last couple of hours. “We’ve already upped patrol on the border, but still no sign of her,” Dante spoke up, distressed all over his face as he stared back at me.“I'm open to more orders,” He added, as I leaned back in the chair keeping my eyes low.“We stay on the course, we stay scouting, we have to keep searching,” I said frustratingly.“We can't be sitting ducks, we have to do something—” I grimaced but then paused, the minute I realized I was beginning to over react.It had been a couple of months since she’d suddenly disappeared. A couple of months since we had dinner together and a couple of months since I’ve seen her smile.“Perhaps we could send out a few

I repeated.Yara nodded. "Of course, She has no one else."No one else? The weight of those words crushed me. Mara's isolation, Her loneliness, My failure.But Yara's next words ignited a fire.

Rhys's PovI was left all alone at home. I paced through the darkness of my bedroom with bottles of Alcohol in both hands.Mara's note echoed in my mind. "I thought our love was stronger.""I thought you loved me." "I was wrong."Talia's words sliced through my haze. "Rhys, I'm here for you."Her hand touched my shoulder. I shrugged it off. "Leave me alone, Talia," I screamed at her."Rhys, please—""Get out!" I roared.Talia's eyes widened. "Rhys, I just want to help.""Help?" I sneered. "You've done enough."My anger boiled over.

Rhys povI couldn't shake off the feeling that Talia was involved in Mara's disappearance.Her manipulations knew no bounds. But what if she'd played me from the start?A sudden memory flashed in my mind.How Talia had approached me with Her offer."I can work as a double spy for you and Giovanni," she'd said."I'll feed him false information while keeping you informed."Her expression was somber. "I have something to tell you, Rhys," she'd said."About Giovanni?" I prompted.Talia nodded. "And my involvement," she saidI gestured for her to continue."It all started months ago," Talia began. "Giovanni approached me, charming and persuasive, He promised me wealth, status, and power.""And you believed him?" I asked.Talia's eyes dropped. "I did. I thought he could offer me more than you could, Rhys."More than I could? The words stung."But then I realized..." Talia's voice trailed off."Realized what?" I asked."That I was just a tool," Talia said, her voice barely above a whisper."

I called out. But there was no answer, I frowned.Where was she? Where could she be by this time?I searched the house but I couldn't find her.'Maybe she wasn't home, or maybe she must have gone to her friend's place' I thought.But Mara wasn't the type to leave the house without letting anyone know.I checked our bedroom, and there was no sign of Mara and to my greatest shock, Her luggage was gone.A shiver ran down my spine.
