I think I fainted, for when I open my eyes, I'm surrounded by complete darkness. I'm not sure if it's because it's late or someone decided to turn off every light source in these cells. I try to sit up but end up on my knees, barely able to hold my head up. A strange wave of pain erupts in my chest, and my hand instinctively reaches out.
"Father?" I whisper. I don't need him, but for some reason, I know I'd feel a lot better if I knew he's around. This must be a family thing.
After a few minutes, there's still no sound or at least movement, so I call out to him again. This time he crawls closer to the bars of his cell. "Child, it's late; you need to get some sleep," he sounds calm, but I can hear the panic in his words.

Vincent povThey will save her. The pack doctors will do all they can to keep her alive; I know that. But as much as I want to stay near, no one allows me to stick around the hospital and wait for her to wake up. The medical staff keeps repeating that I'm an Alpha, that I have responsibilities, and that I need to think of the pack while they'll care for my mate. How stupid can I be? Did I have to make the biggest mistake anyone could make to understand how much this woman means to me? She's my future, the only future I see for myself, to be honest. And yet I went along the stupid idea of fucking someone else to get her out of my mind. I don't care who Enya is, not anymore- if she stays by my side, she'll be Luna, and we will bury the legend of Red for good.I didn't count on Aros' support, but he's been on my tail ever since he knocked on my bedroom door.

Katie povThe Alpha, he's a fucking animal. I got what I wanted, but at what price? He tore me apart like an inflatable doll, and even though I begged him to slow down, be a little gentler, and don't go hard on me, he didn't listen. I get that he was trying to get that bitch off his mind, but that doesn't mean he had the right to fuck me up like that. I can't force my legs together, I feel sore, and my knees are still shaking. But despite everything I had to endure, I'm glad I did. There's no way he didn't fill me up, and I'll carry his child in no time. I'm so sure of that; I could swear to it.In a few weeks, I will be a Luna of this pack, and the Alpha will have no choice but to respect me. I don't care if he falls in love with me; he can hate me for all I care, but he has to pretend to be in love in front of the pack members. I did well. There's

Vincent pov"Are you sure you're ready? We could wait a little longer; there's no need to rush," Aros leans against the doorframe and crosses his arms in front of his chest.I would prefer to put this matter off as long as possible, but it's been a week, and I promised that bitch a fair trial. Besides, I can't decide on dates as the Elders Council has limited time. They've agreed to come in to hold a hearing and decide what to do next, so I've got to take the chance while I have it. "I just want to get this thing over with, that's all. Once it's settled, I can focus on more important things. Such as the health of my mate." I stack the last of the papers and evidence I need to present to the Council as I speak. I'm really grateful to have Aros by my side; I couldn't handle any of this without him.

Aros povWhen the Speaker of the Council asked me to attend the hearing, I expected many things, but not this. Vince giving up his title is perhaps the biggest and scariest thing to happen here. He's a great Alpha, better than anyone I know, and we won't have him anymore. Instead, he trusts me enough to pass his title on to me, even though I know I'd be a shitty Alpha. I'm irresponsible, and the word punctuality doesn't exist in my vocabulary.Standing before the Council of Elders, I wanted to reject the offer and fight Vince's decision, but I knew he had a plan. If not for today, then for tomorrow and the day after. When the hearing was over, the Council wanted to know if I had any idea where I'd start with the pack. Honestly, I still have no idea what to do, but I know one thing for sure- I need to protect Enya. For Vince. "Right now, ther

Vincent pov When I made my decision, I had no idea how hard it might be. At first, isolating myself from Enya seemed like the easiest thing to do since I didn't deserve to be close to her. I still don't deserve it. But as time goes on, day by day, it gets harder and harder. I can't sleep or eat without thinking of her. I've done my best to stay away from the pack and my best friend. Even at times, when I run into the patrolling wolves- as soon as they try to bare their necks to show me what little respect they still have for me, I turn around and leave. I don't deserve the respect they try to show me. What kind of an Alpha can I be when I have treated my own mate so poorly? Hell, I can't call myself a man anymore. All of them know what I did, so I don't understand why they are trying to be so nice. If one of my pack members had done the same thing while I was an Alpha, I wouldn't even look in thei

Enya povMany different scenarios played out in my head when I first opened my eyes. I thought the first person I'd see would be the Alpha Asshole himself, probably holding my hand and all the romantic crap you'd see in a bad romance movie. But none of my thoughts, assumptions, or even ideas came to fruition. I'm alone, not a soul around or bothering to check if I'm still alive. Well, I can't blame them- I wouldn't want to see someone who slaughtered so many of my family alive and well.I try to get up from this damn bed, but something holds me back. After a few minutes of pointless struggle, my eyes finally fall on the straps encircling my wrists and torso. Great move, fuckheads. "I guess I'll have to wait," I whisper under my breath. I can wait and pretend patience is with me, but the problem is I need to pee. Really bad. If someone doesn'
Red Riding Hood Killed A Wolf CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE
Enya povSince the nurse came clean with everything that happened while I wasn't entirely present, many things changed. I learned that Aros had indeed become an Alpha, and Vincent had chosen to live in isolation from the rest of the pack. His decision wasn't based on shame over losing the title, nor anything to do with me, but on the fact that he needed time to himself. At least, that's what Aros told me.I agreed to stay in the pack, as Aros explained that he could protect me only if I stayed. Besides, since the fall of the Alliance, it's not like I have anywhere else to go. Everyone in the pack is way too friendly, and every time someone flashes me a smile, I feel guilty. For everything I've done, said, and thought of them without bothering to get to know the wonderful people I once considered to be monsters.
Red Riding Hood Killed A Wolf CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR
Enya povAs soon as I reach the border, my eyes scan the surroundings. At first glance, nothing seems out of place until something catches my attention. I'm not exactly at the spot. Not yet. I ran to the place the patrol discussed with Aros, not the place where those fuckers actually met Vincent. I know they took him; I can feel that he's in trouble. I have no idea how I know that, but it's enough that I do.Before anyone can catch up with me, I make my way to the spot that caught my attention earlier. As soon as I get close enough, the stench of metal hits my nose, and I know what it is- blood. My eyes take in the sight before me- at least thirty wolves and Vincent were here. I kneel down and sniff the soil. I run my fingertips over the paw print someone left behind. I've been taught how to track a wolf, how to take it down, and for once, my knowledge wi

Red Riding Hood Killed A Wolf EPILOGUE
ENYAA week ago we got married. I didn't wear the traditional white dress. Instead, one of the Omegas made a beautiful fire pattern dress for me to pay my respects to my father and his tribe.There were too many people around for us to end the evening on a somewhat quiet note. His father walked me down the aisle, Aros was Vince's best man, and my mother helped Brent care for their newborn daughter. My little girl was given the honour of being the flower girl. Yes, we chose to adopt- the child that grew closest to me. We adopted Bella, and since that day, we have been an official family. I think it all worked out for the best- all three of us were robbed of family and found each other when we needed it most.Vince and I decided we don't need a honeymoon- our

Enya povIf it hadn't been for that lovely lady, I wouldn't have been able to accept the news as fast as I did. Everything the pack doctor told me felt like a punch below the belt. Still, I'm glad she told me the truth and offered to tell me more about the history of werewolves. If Mother Nature decided I couldn't have children, so be it.The only person I'm really worried about is Vince. He was at the hospital and stormed off as soon as the doctor told him everything. It's been hours since Aros tried to mind-link him and about thirty minutes since Aros left the packhouse. I hope he finds him as soon as possible and drags this stubborn man home. Vince needs to sit down with me and talk. And while I know the news hurts him- there are some things in life we can't change. And this, unfortunately, is one of them.
Red Riding Hood Killed A Wolf CHAPTER HUNDRED TWENTY ONE
Vincent povI'm lost.So fucking desperate for an answer. Or at least for someone to jump around the corner with a camera in hand, yelling "jokes on you".I've been wandering the woods for hours. I don't have it in me to go back to Enya and break her beyond repair. Although she dreaded the possibility of pregnancy, I know she wanted to be a mother later. Neither of us ever had a real family, and now we have no chance to start our own.I hoped that getting some fresh air would help me think, but it doesn't. All I can picture is the pain in her eyes when she encounters a pregnant pack member or one of those kids. Enya is stuck in a place that will constantly remind her of everything she will never have.

Vincent pov Before I leave Enya in the bedroom, I check her forehead to make sure she doesn't have a fever. The fact that she has heat after such a short period of time from the previous one is strange. I have many responsibilities, and I should discuss a few things with Melinda, but instead of getting to work, I take a detour to the hospital. As soon as I open the door, I see a bunch of nurses. They all stop and wait for me to acknowledge them, but I won't. Not because I don't respect them, but these women gave away their plan without thinking that I might hear these rumours. The nurses and some Omegas decided to find out how loyal I am to my mate and basically tried to set up their Luna. I'll deal with them later, now- I'm a man on a mission. I walk past the nur

Enya povI'm speechless. As I stare back at those pitch-black eyes, I forget how to breathe. I notice a shift between the colours in his eyes-Vince is fighting back, but I doubt his wolf will let him have the upper hand. Now that the beast has the upper hand, he'll use it for the alone time he's been trying to get for so long.Damian reaches for the faucet and turns off the water. I don't expect much from a wolf; he's supposed to run on all fours and be an animal, but to my surprise, he acts kind of human. He steps out of the shower, holds my hand as I follow, and reaches for a towel. Though I assume he'd need it, Damian wraps it around my body and grabs another to dry me off."Mate can't walk wet, will catch a cold." He mumbles to himself once again, surprising me so much that I can't beli

Enya povHer words make sense, so do her intentions, but deep down, I'm hurt beyond repair.All my life, I've been nothing more than a puppet in someone's hands, and it was foolish of me to think that would stop. It wouldn't. Sooner or later, someone would find a way to use me as they pleased. The same as my newfound mother did.She can tell me she had only good intentions, but I heard what she said. I heard her claim that she wanted to hear those screams. To me, it sounds more like she desired revenge more than anything else. Maybe we'll get closer and learn to understand each other after a while, but I need time to get there."Vince, can you please walk me to the bedroom? I need some alone time," I don't look at my

Vincent povI accompany Melinda to the kitchen and show her where she can find anything to her liking. Like her daughter, she complains that she is allergic to basil, which makes sense.However, a few details confuse me, and I hope Melinda has the answers I'm seeking. "Melinda, can I ask you a few questions?" I turn to her, but I see half of her body peeking out from behind the refrigerator door.She closes the door and grins at me. Melinda's mouth is covered in frosting. Yeah, a true lady there. I roll my eyes, and my attitude doesn't go unnoticed. "Sure thing, Pussysaurus-Rex." She bursts out laughing. "Sorry, I couldn't resist the temptation to use that brilliant nickname. And don't look at me like that; I've been complaining about being hungry for weeks- my prayers have be

Enya povMy hands tremble, my grip on Vince's hand tightens to the point where I feel him flinch in surprise. But a moment later, I push my mate away from me and free myself from his grip. Step by step, I move closer to his cell. Though Vince is doing his best to hold me back, there will be no end to the suffering of those who hurt me. Starting with the man who pretended to be my father."Vince, Melinda," I whisper, but apparently, I'm loud enough to get their attention. I can't look at my mother, nor can I address her as such. I have no right to do so- I killed the man she loved, I slaughtered my own father and spilt his blood like a pig. If anything, I have no right to be near her, so I cast my gaze to the dirty floor. "I need you both out of here. Please," my voice breaks and tears run down my cheeks as memories flood my mind. Both of the

Vincent povMelinda hasn't changed a bit. She's still the same loving and bubbly personality I remember her to be.On our way to the packhouse, I keep throwing glances at Enya. She's visibly anxious, and while her mother keeps asking questions, the only moment my mate speaks up is to answer a question. She doesn't ask her own questions, though I know she has many. Perhaps in time, I'm sure Enya needs a moment or two to get used to the situation. After all, it's not every day that your dead mother comes back to life and appears in front of you. I couldn't blame Enya because I would react the same way.After a moment of awkward silence, Melinda turns her attention to me. "Vincent, how is your father? It's been a while since I last met Roma. Oh, and I'm sorry about your ste
