Sally's POV

Training is all I do all weekend, no one is home, and they are going to one of those secret location meetings. Thank God for that. But, I guess, some of the house's maids are around.

I remembered what the old man had told me this morning in the tea room.

My grandparents sat across from me, the tension slowly starting to rise.

"Sally, I don't think I should keep this from you anymore." He stopped. "I've said this before. Time is slowly catching up with me."

Why did he say such confusing words?

My grandmother sat silently, sipping tea. She just occasionally threw me a few sympathetic looks, but not much more than that.

"Out of all my grandchildren, I have decided to choose you as my next successor."

I can feel my heart slowly sinking. I don't want this.

I held my breath. "Why? Why me?"

“When the time is right, I will tell you.” His eyes immediately glanced to the right side of the room as one of the housemaids entered with our breakfast tray.

    Ryan'POVThis time again Sally is not happy, she is quite smart. She sees through all the bullshit people say to her and sees right through me.I sighed.I didn't mean to hurt her that way. Yes, I need her to heal because some circumstances have happened. But I don't take advantage of her. At least, that's not what I thought I was doing.What the hell am I supposed to do now? I get the feeling that Sally is not one to forgive or forget anything people have done to her. She will remember it until the day she dies.I stopped in my tracks as my chest constricted in pain, taking a deep breath as I pushed the pain aside.I knew the risk of coming here and her finding out, but I'd rather take those chances than bleed to death.------------------------Sally's POVA month, yes, because I've been avoiding Ryan for at least a month because of what happened when he came to my house, supposedly for help, but instead, he used me.English class was about to start, but another student barged in, an

    Sally's POV"Allen, leave us. Anything you hear in here must never be said outside, understood?" His mother almost warned him.Allen just nodded, leaving the house with a heavy sigh."Come here, I know you came looking for some answers." She led me to the kitchen area.I squinted at her. "How do you know? I can come and have tea with you."The woman laughed. "You're funny, but I could read you as soon as you got here. Plus, you're not the type to waste the evening on tea and cookies."My face fell, I was ready to leave, but the next word convinced me to stay a while."I can read you, yes, but not completely. Usually, it's very easy, it doesn't matter who, even Alpha Ryan himself, I can read them like an open book. But you, you dear, are the hardest. All I get is your aura, it's dark, brooding, curious, angry, and above all cold." She pulled me to sit next to the window.One of the things I hate in life is when people try to read me, but I'll ignore this because she's Allen's mother."

    Sally's POVWhen I finished talking to Allen's mother, I was ready to go home, but I didn't. This bastard here grabbed me as soon as he saw me leaving the house and threw me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and took us God knows where."Put me down, you evil thing." I fumed.He ignored me."Don't make me mad at you," I warn.He stopped walking. I smirked triumphantly at the back of his head. Slowly, he placed me on the ground, where I felt the soft grass under my feet."Now that shouldn't be difficult, right? If you'd just tell me where we're going, I'd be happy to oblige."He scoffed and continued on his way. I follow. As he led me to the pack's house and into his living room, I hesitated, but what could happen in this confined space?I froze the moment I heard the door click. Why did he have to close? I turned around to protest, but instead, he cupped my face before kissing me on the lips.What the hell?Serious! What is this?I will castrate this bastard."I'll kiss you ag

    Sally's POVHe sighed. "For us, this is like the pH indicator in chemistry, to test whether a liquid is acidic or alkaline. Instead, the blue thing you call is to test the blood to see if it is poisonous or pure." He stopped for a moment. "What happened just now shows that your blood was poisoned. It seems that you have digested quite a few potions made by a witch."My eyes narrowed quizzically, I couldn't decipher whether he was just messing with me again or if he was just stupid that way.“That sounds like absolute nonsense,” I said.He groaned in frustration. "No, it's not." He sighed. "If you believed I was a werewolf when we first met, what makes this different?""Listen, just because werewolves like you exist among us, that doesn't mean a bunch of witches exist too."He sighed tiredly. “You're right, I can't prove you anything.” He looked defeated as he sat in the chair behind his desk. "You can go now."I frowned. "You're crazy," I say. Slammed the door as I walked out.-------

    Sally's POV"One of the maids," I say.Her once warm eyes blinked into harsh ones. "What is her name?""Uhm..." I never bothered to know who worked under my grandparents, although I only remember the people who worked here longer than anyone else. He kept offering to make me tea. "Janet."The aforementioned person, Janet, seems to act like my other grandmother, but she has this strange vibe around her. It may be too late to think about it now, but she is always in my business, she takes care of me more than my grandmother."Where is she now?" Grandma quickly asked.I opened my mouth, not knowing anything. "In the kitchen?" I'm not sure where she is.In a flash, the woman was up and rushing toward the kitchen with her husband and my grandmother Donne. I was still in the tea room with Grandpa Donne.Two men entered the room a moment later, ran straight behind the old man, and sat on their folded legs. The room was quiet, but Grandpa was whispering something to mysterious men that I had

    Sally's POVAfter a few days of having my grandparents around, it felt like a breath of fresh air, now return home. I would have almost followed if the old man hadn't thrown his sharp eyes at me. For a while, I thought my Donne grandparents had called them, but no. My mother's grandparents came voluntarily. Grandma said. "Call it a grandmother's instinct."The moment my grandmother realized what was happening inside me, the lady made a special drink just for me called "Cleanse", I asked her why and she replied. "The purpose of this drink is to reboot your system. Reboot, they say. It cleans out your toxic blood, replacing it with fresh new blood. We are rejuvenating you."Initially, the drink tasted very bitter. Her words, not mine. So she made it not bitter and it tasted like unsweetened tea. But despite how it tasted, the pain I experienced after drinking her "Cleanse" tea felt as if someone had kicked me in the head, stabbed my body with a knife, broken my leg bones into pieces, an

    Sally's POV"Where's the tea?" I rummaged through the things in the kitchen as soon as I got home."What tea, Sally?" One of the maids spoke up.Throwing all the boxes, I was indignant: "Where is it?""What tea are you looking for?" Another person asked."What Janet usually does," I say.I didn't care how they looked at me because the next thing I knew, I was in my grandmother's arms, who looked worried."What's the matter, Sally?" She pushed my loose hair out of my face.I continued walking through the kitchen like a madman. "I need Janet's teas. I need them now. Please.""Aren't you two her roommates? Tell me, where did she keep the rest of the tea?" They backed away when I approached them."What happened?" My grandfather walked in next, stared at the commotion in the kitchen then looked at me, demanding answers.My breathing is unstable. "I'm looking for Janet's tea.""For what?" He asks.I stopped before I let go of all these overwhelming emotions and just burst into tears. "This

    Sally's POVI walked out and went to a cafe not far from my house to sit, eat cake, drink coffee, and try to escape some things by reading the novel I had borrowed not long ago. Not thinking about him and his other lips.Ever since I stopped drinking Janet's homemade chamomile tea, and my grandparents continued giving me "Cleanse" tea, I've been more deranged than usual, and it's made me very anxious. I couldn't concentrate, couldn't think properly, my emotions were all over the place, and most of all I kept feeling confused. About what, I'm not sure. But I'm still learning, step by step.Personally, I think, Janet's tea is a good thing to give me because it helps me forget things I don't want to remember. And apparently, it also suppressed my true feelings about everything and everyone around me. It keeps me in check.All of my housework and training have been eliminated for a week straight because I'm pretty sure my grandparents can see how I've been acting lately. Like I'm not myse

Everyone is still saddened by the loss of half of the pack, but they are our heroes, in our hearts and our memories.I returned the next day, with my enemy's head in a sack. I asked everyone in my family if they knew what he had done and was about to do. When I asked about his parents, everyone bowed their heads in respect.Arnav informed me that both of them committed suicide because of the old Donne's rule.I need to abolish that regulation and replace it with a more reasonable penalty. They were both innocent, they were just pawns in the game and they had to pay for his actions, may their souls rest in peace.That night we held a proper funeral for them. We all paid our respects. Our allies also came to pay their respects.The ceremony was over, everyone had gone home and I stayed at the burial site and stared at Oliver's portrait, thinking that maybe I hated him just because he w

    Third person POVLook at Ryan carefully, his chest is moving slowly. Running to his side, Sally immediately cupped his face and called his name.“Ryan,” She started softly, and then gradually she lost patience. “Ryan.”The groan, surprised her, but sure enough, his eyes widened next. "I like hearing you say my name." His voice was hoarse.Unintentionally, she hit his chest before apologizing. "I'm sorry. Oh my God!"“Is that any way to welcome a mate who has just returned from the dead?” He was joking.Sally stared at him and said. "That's not funny at all."Sally didn't waste a second as she threw herself into his arms, crying into the crook of his neck, all the while inhaling his sweet musk. “Please don't do that again.”Ryan wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tighter, never wanting to let her go again. “I love you too,” Her breath hitched and she buried her face deeper into his neck.After a moment, they let go and looked at each other, looking for more casualties to fi

    Third person POVReaching his lifeless side, she stepped back and knelt on both knees. Unaware, tears rolled down her ash-stained face.“Ryan,” She began softly, her eyes roaming around his body and finding the wound, blood pouring out endlessly. This cannot happen. He is a werewolf. An Alpha. He should have been cured by now. Unless the wound is caused by silver, pure silver.Sally sobbed endlessly. She felt everyone's eyes on her, rage filling her entire being. “Let's capture the rogues and find Oliver Donne. Now."Sally's orderly roar echoed throughout the area. Picturing a mental image of what the despicable man looked like only made me angrier. And as if they saw what was going on in my head, they barked orders at each other and ran away in different directions.“Please wake up. Ryan!" She shook her head. "I need you, so do everything you can and wake up."His body slowly went limp in her arms, making it a little difficult for her to bear him. “Ryan, no, wake up. Please."Sally s

And the first thing Sally said was. “Where is Ryan?”Everyone was dumbfounded.Her face stiffened at their sudden silence. “You're all here, but none of you know where he is.”Her voice lowered. “What happened to be able to link minds?”“We tried to contact him but he did not respond.”Sally frowned, suspicious. She looked around. “Can you guys link up?”It looked as if they were trying to communicate with each other through their minds, and they looked frustrated by it.“No,” Linus said.She is upset.“There is magic here, blocking all of the swarm's mental links to each other.”Sally looked at something behind Allen. “Is that my sword?”The boy nodded with a slight smile. “My mom said you'd be here, so…” He handed the weapon to Sally.“Thank you, Allen. Remind me to thank your mother too.” She slings the sword behind her back before telling the boys t

    Sally's POVMy whole life has been a lie. I can't even handle this right now. Slowly, lowering myself to the mat, I sat and stared at the flashbacks of my life before and after everything that had happened.I remember my grandmother always saying that I was royalty in their eyes, supposed to rule the world with Ryan's pack. And she continued to emphasize the two nouns, King and queen.Also, every summer vacation when I was young, my grandfather would show me off to his guests, which made me feel very uncomfortable. And it got to the point where I remember my mother having to take me for a walk every time someone passed by."And I know you saw something in your dream, Sally. You looked pale when you walked in here." She was silent for a while. "Is that your mate? Did he call you?"My silence is the answer. Even though I tried to deny the fear that the dream brought me, I couldn't, it still lingered in my mind. The image of Ryan covered in blood and pain, stuck.At least I have to know

    Sally's POVThought going to bed would be the best idea for me, but turns out, it was the worst idea. Because not long after I closed my eyes, my mind took me to a strangely familiar place."Sally, help." A whisper rang out around me.Standing in the middle of a barren field, 50 yards away from me, Ryan stood sullenly, his face pale, his right fist clutched tightly to his hip.I shivered as the cold wind whipped my skin but my eyes never left him. Is he okay? Why does he look so sick?When I looked closely at his deathly curled fists, they were covered in blood. Why? Whose blood is that? It can't be his, right? What happened?“Ryan,” I called, but no sound came out. I called again and again until I was tired and my throat became hoarse.He just stared at me with pain in his eyes.He may be standing but his eyes say otherwise. The light in his eyes was gone and I wondered if it was my fault.Looking closely at him, I felt like he was gone a long time ago and this was just an illusion.

    Sally's POVWhen the room became silent, the shadow moved quite quickly, as if trying not to be caught.“Do you want something to drink or something to eat?” I said, pretending to chat while Jill wrote something on paper.It writes. “There is a spy. You should be careful."I nodded in response. Then he replied through my makeup chat. “I'd love to, but I'm going to apologize and spend the week preparing for what's to come. You are invited to my coronation.”“You should be careful too.” I wrote again. He gave me a quick nod with a forced smile and left the room with his men.Kingsley turned around just as the young leader went out, quickly rushing to my left and whispering. “Something has changed here, Luna Sally.”“I know, I can feel it too.” I looked at him from a very close distance. “I need you to find someone, if he's not here that means he knows I came looking for him.”He left me in the office to plan while he went looking for the given name.

    Sally's POVWe arrived at headquarters three hours later, I had to match Kingsley's pace because he was such a weak bird. So as soon as my feet touched the ground, I rushed to find Arnav. "What's going on?"“The Alexander clan attacked us.”“Ub, I understand that part, but what exactly happened?”Arnav sighed first. “Goray Alexander was murdered, and the Alexander family suspects us of being the culprit.”I frowned at the news. “Why am I just hearing this now? Why did the Alexander clan suspect it was us? Do you have any other sources to find out who killed Mr. Goray?"From a maid in the house, I slipped off my coat. “Find me something, Arnav. We need to clear our names as soon as possible before something unspeakable happens.” I gave the order and went straight to my office.I was startled to see Kingsley behind me, I forgot that he was also with me. “Let's make you feel at home while I deal with all this.”He remained silent while panting from the flight and the energy he had to put

    Sally's POVOne time I left the room. I followed a beautiful floating white orb that led me to what felt like a 5-minute walk to an abandoned warehouse.I hesitated to enter the building, but the ball went straight through the wall. Sighing, I followed it through a small entrance.As soon as I stepped inside, a shrill scream echoed throughout the space of the warehouse. The screams of a man and a woman rang out again, sending chills down my spine.Approaching the noise, I hid behind pieces of plywood. My heart stopped beating for a split second when I saw my parents in the middle of the room.My mother was stripped of her clothes and every ounce of dignity, tears streaming down her pale and bloody face.I wanted to scream and help her, but I couldn't move and not even a whisper came out. I could only cry and suppress the anger welling up inside me.My dad, on the other hand, looked completely devastated. I held my breath as I watched him cry, pleading with the men around them who look
