(Continuation of the Flashback)Claire's POV"What do you think you are doing?!" The man in the middle of the pack shouted.He looked like someone who had high authority in this place. He looked different from the others."We are only doing this because of an order," Kennedy answered then he put down the unconscious man and I felt that he was getting ready for a battle.I don't think that is a good idea, because there are almost 20 of them and I don't think they are an easy opponent. I was getting nervous because of the way they looked at us. They looked like hungry wolves looking at their food." You chose the wrong place to do that. No one can touch my pack " The man said angrily."You must be the alpha of this pack," Kennedy said."Yes, I think you did your research before coming here. There are only a few humans who know our existence." The man called Alpha answered.I wonder what an Alpha is.He is getting ready to attack us his appearance is starting to change to a werewolf."Ru
CLAIRE'S POVI can't move but I can still see what is in front of me.The old lady came back and she is now in front of me.I couldn't understand what she was saying because it looked like she was using a different language. The man who was called Alpha is beside her but the old lady looks like she is talking to herself. She is also doing some weird hand movements.'Στην εντολή μου θα είσαι ελεύθερος. Μετά το άσμα μου μπορείτε να κινηθείτε. Μόνο ένα στιγμιότυπο το ξόρκι θα αφαιρεθεί. Με τη δύναμη της σελήνης θα' γίνει-Translation-(In my command you will be free.After my chant, you can move.Just a snap and the spell will be removed.By the power of the moon it will be done.)After she finished talking.I instantly felt like I was freed from something that was holding me and preventing me from moving.What the h*ll happened?"What did you do to us?!" Kennedy shouted and tried to grab the old lady but I held him and stopped him from doing so. The old lady looked so old and she look
KENNEDY'S POV- CONTINUATION OF FLASHBACK-I don't know what the h*ck is wrong with this guy. Why would we need to talk one on one? We are enemies and I don't think that it will be resolved by talking."Who sent you here and why did you try to take one of my people?" He asked when he stopped walking.We are now here in the middle of the woods. I can't help myself from worrying about Claire I hope that she is fine." I can't give you the details about that. Are you going to kill me here?" I asked him directly to the point.I think my chance of winning against him is low because I don't have any weapons with me right now. They confiscated it earlier.This is bad."No, I will spare you for now. Be thankful that Marco, the man you tried to kidnap is safe so I will forgive you." He answered. But why? Who is in his right mind who will forgive someone who is not even apologizing? Is he nuts?"Why?" I can't help myself but to ask."And why do we need to come here to talk? Is there anything m
KENNEDY 'S POVI don't have any other choice but to agree with what he said. Our safe return depends on it. I don't exactly believe all the words that he said but there is still some chance that what he was saying is true.During my one week of research, I came across a book where all of the details about the witches are documented. There was a part of the book where I saw the information about the witch who can see the future.They can also make prophecies like what this man told me."OK, let's do that. We will stay here for a month." I answered after a long time of thinking."That's good. I guess we can go back now. I know that you are worried about your other half." He said then chuckled like he was teasing me."Tsk." I just walked and left him to go back where we left Claire.FAST-FORWARDWe are now here inside a medium size house. The old lady said that we can stay here for a month.I explained everything to Claire but she looked like she was thinking something serious. Claire
(PRESENT TIME)SOMEWHERE IN THE CAPITAL SOMEONE'S POV"Madam, I just confirmed that the leaders of the Shaun clan, Kennedy and his wife Claire are not in the City." My secretary reported.I guess the information that I got is right. They never leave the city together. This is the first time.But who sent those tips? What would they get for helping me? I guess that is not important for now. I should do what I need to do first."Do you know how long they will be gone and do you know where they are?" I asked him before I took a sip of my glass of wine." I am still gathering information, madam. All I know is they will be gone for like a week or more."He answered."A week is enough to execute my plan," I said with a smirk plastered on my face.This is the perfect time to turn the tables.
(Continuation of Flashback)Claire's POVDays pass by slowly while me and Kennedy are here. We learned a lot of unbelievable things while we were here. It's our 20th day of staying in Hallow City. I decided to go to the forest to pick up some herbs for my herbal research. The Old Lady is helping me to come up with different medicines made from plants that can only grow in this area.This place really amazed me. There are a lot of extraordinary things here. The people here are not that bad too I think."Ouch!" I scream. I was searching for a plant when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.This is so painful, not like any other pain that I felt before." What happened Claire?." The old lady asked me when she saw that I fell on the ground and I was crawling because of the pain."My stomach hurts so much," I answered her. My face is full of sweat because of the pain.A few minutes more the pain made me dizzy then everything went black.-------------------------------------------
KIERA'S POV"That's the real reason why you are here Kiera. " My mom said after she finished narrating the time when she and Dad went on a mission here at Hallow City."Wow, Mom I didn't know that you already know about werewolves and witches. That is cool." I said while smiling I don't want to be angry with them, and I don't think that they are the ones who are at fault."Are you not mad Kiera? We deceived you and we lied to you. You are here and you are going to be the Alpha's bride, because of us. If only we succeed in our mission, you will not be here right now." My mom said and the tears started to come down on her cheeks."Shhh, mom. I am doing great here and I accepted his proposal with my own decision. It's not your fault and I do not regret coming here." I answered then hugged her.What I said is true. I am starting to like this place. I found new friends here like Fiona and Lucas. Even though a lot of problems are happening, I still like this place.

There are also some messages from my mafia family. They are almost all the same, it's all happy birthday greetings.There was a message from Fiona so I opened it.'Girl, I will accompany you to the makeup room tell me if it's time to go.' I automatically smiled when I saw her message. This girl is really sweet.Realization hit me because of her message.

He knew he had to get back to the pack, but he also couldn't ignore his body's protests.As he stepped out into the night air, he took a deep breath, feeling the cool breeze against his skin. "I know I should rest, but I can't just sit around while everyone's in danger," he muttered to himself.He walked through the quiet streets, the only sound being his footsteps echoing off the pavement. Every shadow seemed to jump out at him, making him tense up with every step.With each step, his muscles protested, reminding him of his recent ordeal. But he pushed through the pain, his resolve unwavering.

He shifted uncomfortably in the stiff hospital bed, trying to make sense of the situation.Sheena sitting near his bed immediately stands, her smile warm but tinged with concern. "Ah, finally you're awake. How are you feeling, Beta?"Lucas managed a weak smile, his throat dry and scratchy. "Like I've been run over by a freight train. My body is aching all over, what happened anyway?""You don't remember anything?" Sheena asked confused."Yes, I can't recall what happened after the fight," Lucas answered, trying to remember the last events before he passed out."How about Adam? Do you remember him?" Sheena asked.Lucas answered by nodding, he still couldn't believe that Adam could do that."You were brought in unconscious, suffering from wolfsbane poisoning. You've been here for a few days now. It's a miracle you survived. You are so lucky that some citizens found you
Lucas's POVAs the realization of the wolfsbane injection hit me, panic surged through my veins. My muscles began to seize up, betraying me as the poison spread through my body.I gritted my teeth, refusing to let Adam see my weakness. With every ounce of strength left in me, I pushed against the effects of the toxin, struggling to stand even as my limbs trembled uncontrollably.Adam's laughter echoed cruelly in the quiet forest. mocking my futile resistance. "You were always too predictable, Lucas. So blinded by your loyalty to this city that you never saw the truth.""What truth are you talking about? You are the one blinded by your greed. How dare you betray our pack!" I said with remorse."You don't need to know the details, it will be a waste to tell you because you are going to die anyway." He answered with a grin.But I won't give up. Not now, not ever. Ignoring the burning pain coursing through me, I focused on my energy.With a primal roar, I forced myself upright, meeting Ad

The pain from the stab wound intensified, but I refused to let it show.I need to remain strong physically and mentally to protect Hallow City."You traitor," I growled, my voice filled with anger and disappointment. "Why?"How can you do this in your homeland," I asked him with disbelief.Adam's smirk widened as he stepped closer, holding the knife in his hand. "It's nothing personal, Lucas. Just business."His words sent a chill down my spine. "Business? What are you talking about?"Adam chuckled darkly. "You'll find out soon enough. Oops, I am not too sure about that, because it's time to say goodbye to your precious city."With that ominous warning, Adam lunged forward, aiming to strike again. With a deep sigh, I gain my strength, my wounds are slowly healed while he was talking nonstop earlier.I braced myself for the impact, determined to protect my pa
Lucas's POVI think should go to the border first.As I approached the border of Hallow City, I nodded to the guards stationed there, acknowledging their presence."Good day Beta Lucas," one of the guards greeted me with a respectful nod."What's up, Jaro? How's everything been lately?" I asked, scanning the perimeter for any unusual activity."Quiet so far, sir. No signs of trouble," Jaro replied, his tone alert but calm."Good to hear that. The Alpha's away on urgent business, so we need to stay extra vigilant and don't let your guard down anytime." I explained, emphasizing the importance of their role in maintaining security.The other guard, chimed in, "We'll keep a close watch, Beta Lucas. You can count on us.""I know I can. I trust you both," I said, offering a reassuring smile.
