PLANNING FOR HALLOWEEN
DRAKE'S POV
Years back before Kate became Mark's beta and came to stay with him in the black wood pack we used to have only one festival and that was the full moon festival. The Halloween party was not a part of our yearly celebration but Kate talked about it and convinced me to hold the celebration she reasoned that since the hunting was done by those that have wolves and have shifted and the after party was usually held later at night and the kids could not attend that it would be nice to hold an inclusive event and everyone could attend.
I liked her idea and discussed it with my beta and they too bought in on the idea. Kate had also not gotten her wolf and I felt that was the least I could do to make her feel more at home with us

KIDNAPPEDDRAKE'S POVCaleb and Damien were part of my trusted security team, they had every detail of the pack and its surrounding woods at the tip of their hands. That was why I wanted them to join us in the search for Kate.Caleb and Damien lived at the barracks that housed our security teams and their family. They were both surprised when I called them to inform them that Kate was missing."What?!" Caleb nearly shouted into the phone. "What happened" "How can this be.?

KATE'S POVNote; the story is from the point of view of Kate, Marks's (second beta) mate.My name is Kate and I am from the Crescent moon pack. Our pack was ruled by the most ruthless alpha in the territory Alpha August. He was not necessarily mean to his subordinates but he tore apart anyone who went against him or the pack. Aside from that, he loved his pack members and treated us all well. This made our pack one of the most prosperous in the wolf kingdom.Crescent moon pack had human inhabitants too, as long as you would follow the rules then you are welcome to live amongst us.My parents were low-ranked but above the omegas so we had some form of freedom in the pack.&n
MY NEW PACKKATE'S POVThe Blackwood pack welcomed me immediately as Mark's mate and made me feel like a member of the pack. The Alpha of the pack, Alpha Drake was nice to me too and I loved how he interacted with members of his pack.Mark my mate was the second beta of his pack and this meant he was a high-ranking member of the council. At first, this pleased me a lot. As the mate of a beta you get honorary positions and duties, however, it also occurred to me that I would be scrutinized a lot and my secret would be discovered. For months I tried to hide that I had no wolf from Mark, I avoided anything that would make me have to shift, and I refused to go to the woods instead we stayed indoors whenever we wanted to spend time together.
LOSING MY MINDKATE'S POVWhen I was offered the drink my first thought was to reject it, but I ignored the voice, I presumed he was one of those people Daisy had asked to help her serve the food and drinks. We had all volunteered to chip in one way or the other.The punch did not taste right, it had a sour taste but I ignored it, they must have added too much lemon- I reckoned.I shrugged it off when I turned to ask why it tasted sour and the person that offered me the drink was gone, again I made up an excuse that he must have gone to attend to others.Moments after taking the drink, my vision became blurred and I felt a pang of a headache coming, and before I co
DO WE HAVE A SNITCH IN OUR PACKDRAKE'S POVI listened to Kate recount her ordeal in utter disbelief. It was as if she was retelling a fantasy story she had created in her mind. But I knew it was not, you could see the fear all over her.I remembered what Zara had said about some people's wolves being caged and could only be released when they encountered a situation that was a matter of life and death.That was exactly what happened to Kate and her wolf was released. I was happy that she had gotten her wolf but we had a situation at hand there was a snitch in the pack and if we don't sniff them out as soon as possible then things might get worse for us."Did
DIDN'T SEE THAT COMINGDRAKE'S POVI leaned forward with my eyes intent on Damien's face and I knew every eye in the room was focused on him."What did you notice?" I asked impatiently."As you must have noticed, every family and its members have been accounted for." He said and waited"And," Mark said his tone was filled with the anger he felt."There is someone here in the pack that has not been linked to any family here and also she has no official record with us.""She!" I exclaimed with utter disbelief, how did we miss that, I turned to
ROUND TABLE DRAKE'S POV Brandon walked into the office followed by the patrol guard who was the younger of the two men. The younger man was about Chris's age, at least in his early twenties. He had dirty blond hair and appeared tall, most patrol guards are tall and muscular because their job was more of physical activities. Brandon had silver hair just like Caleb. They were the oldest in the room but my position as Alpha gave me a higher rank than them. Justin was their overall head, and all security units made reports to him through their team head. And I could not dwell on any meeting concerning security until he arrived. "Food is here." Justin walked in carrying bags of food and dropped th

He could feel the wind blowing through his fur as he dodged branches and trees in his way. He didn't stop until he was deep within the woods, far away from anyone who might be able to track him down.He let out a howl, a mournful cry that echoed through the trees. It was a cry of pain and loss, for his Luna Zara had been taken from him. He was not satisfied by his kills even though they had deserved death, their blood did not placate him.

She would branch into the cafe for her favorite chocolate milkshake then continue with her walk.However, she met one of the twins Jasmine and her mother Cecilia in the cafe.

HOW DO WE GO ABOUT ITNARRATOR'S POVDrake checked his phone and it had five missed calls all from Justine. "You would think I have stolen his mate or something," Drake mumbled"Is everything alright?" Zara turned to face him."Yes, don't worry, go back to sleep." He kissed her forehead, and Zara slept off almost immediately.Drake left the bed and went to the balcony. It had been ages since he ran and it was just some minutes to six. He could run if he wanted to, his wolf beckoned to the forest and it howled begging for release. The fresh air and the dews called out to his wolf. He was already naked because he loved sleeping naked and since Zara came into his life, it was easier and best to sleep skin-to-skin with her. From his balcony, he jumped out and stretched, shifting to his wolf form in the air and landing on his paws. He ran into the woods with so much gust, strength, and power. His nose flared from the early morning wind, his paws romanced the damp earth, and Drake was fulf

Drake replied "We don't like traitors and if you plan to deceive us you will wish the wolf hunters had dealt with you and not us." I understand sir, all I want is help to rescue my pack," William repeated."We will get back to you."
