CARNELIAN'S POV Two days more. Two days more and you will be free, Adriena. This is the last chance that Andor has and any slight mistake will fuck him up. " Has the scent stabilised?" Taylor asked me " Yes, the scent is now stabilised, and I can find my way around any other unwanted smell during the course of finding her." " But, Carnelian, don't you think that Andor is serious with his threat. You know he nevers play or joke with his threats,he will make sure he does as he promised" " And that is where the problem lies. We all are fucking scared of him. And come to think of it,when did I start to be scared of someone. I guess the story told by my dad is really captivating," " Apart from him and the other two Alphas, none of us get to meet him or hear of him. I'm not afraid of him,but I think the fear instilled in us did a great work on us," I said " You are right. As long as I know you, I know that you are a very fierce and powerful Alpha, and for that, I acknowledge y

When she got to the front of the door,she knocked,waiting patiently for an order whether to go or to enter. " Knock,knock,knock," she knocked again when there was no response at her first knocking. "I heard you at first. Come in," she finally got an answer She twisted the doorknob, and the door was open. " What's the problem?"Andor asked " It's about Adriena," she said " I thought we've concluded on her case. There is nothing to discuss again,right. So,why is she a problem?" " I've been thinking about another solution," Stella said " And that is ?" Andor asked " What about we give her a very slow poison. The poison will just limit the time and days of her
LUCIANA'S POV Since the last time,Carnelian yelled at me, "we've not spoken since then. Taylor told me not to take it to heart,but I can't just bring myself to talk to him despite the fact that he will be my Alpha very soon. Carnelian has decided to drop my suggestion about Elijah,claiming that he has nothing to do with all of this. And I really hope that he really doesn't have anything to do with it. The plan of Carnelian is still holding,the plan which is attacking Andor four days after he received the letter. I did not go against the plan,for I would do everything and anything to save my best friend. I've resumed my normal life back, which is not perfectly normal,because my best friend is not with me and I have no other friend except from Shira,who is our third friend and she is a Gamma. Shira and I are far from others. She does come to the pack once in a while to ask for an update about Adriena, and whenever she comes, she will go back with disappointment Resuming m

I heard Andor's voice A couple of seconds later, I heard a knock on my door, and when I opened it,I saw an afraid Stella " What's wrong?"I asked, knowing pretty well that she was never scared of Andor " He want you downstairs. And try as much as possible to be weak,you can't be strong in front of him. We need to keep up the act," she said " Ohhhkay. Hope nothing is wrong?" I asked " I don't know what is going on in his mind right now. I don't know what is happening or why is asking for your presence out of the blue. But Adriena, feign the sickness and illness and paleness as much as you could. He is still holding on to the fact that you are sick and weak and you are closer to death every day, giving the fact that he believes that you are on poison and power inhibiting injection," she said and I noticed she has a thick beads of sweat on her forehead and she was restless " Are you sure you are okay? I mean,you were never scared of him,w
THIRD PERSON POV " Hello mate," Carnelian said The kind of joy erupting from Adriena can not be defined. For the first time in a while, she felt the need to use her powers and strength. Her wolf kept growling from inside " Going so soon," Carnelian said again, facing Andor this time " Ohh,I guess you must be stupid to come into the lions den," Andor said out of nowhere I did not expect him to say this sentence. The first question that I was expecting from him was him asking how Carnelian got to know about this place. Even when he knows that things might be finished here once and for all,he is still proud and elegant in his pride " If you are defining my boldness and courage to come down here as being stupid,so it is. And also,you seem to have forgotten that you have what is mine in your territory," Carnelian said " I thought you said you gave her the inhibitors," someone said from Andor side " Yes,of course, " " Then how the hell did he get to know about this pla
THIRD PERSON All the wolf that came with Carnelian to fight Andor were now seen outside with Adriena and Stella. They have been waiting for Carnelian to come out in victory, as they have also succeeded in killing each and every person they saw in the environment. Suddenly, there was a loud growl, and Adriena looked worried. Since the time she has been told to stay outside,she has not been feeling well. Headache and nauseiness have been battling with her every since she was outside At first,she decided to enjoy the fresh air, but the fresh air she was inhaling was becoming toxic to her body,as she felt her chest tightening . " Are you okay?" Stella, who was standing beside her, asked " Yeah. I'm just feeling a bit nauseous," she said Soon enough, Carnelian came out of the house with Andor head in his mouth. Adriena saw this quicker than Stella and mindlink him immediately " Don't come with his head. Drop it. His mate is here, and it won't be a nice thing for her to

I need to know more about developing news about Adriena. That was the main reason I ordered Stella to follow me. Apart from this pregnancy, what else did I not know about her for the past two months. " Have a seat," I said, and she obliged " No cause for alarm. I just want to ask you about any events that happen during my mate stay with you. Is there anything else that occurred apart from her pregnancy that you would like me to know?" " Not really. Everything else that happens is in the normal range of what happened between a captor and a hostage, " she said " Nothing at all?" " Nothing apart from the pregnancy. No other news, " she said " Alright. You can go. Thank you so much. " " Yeah. You are welcome . She said and got up from her seat. She bowed slightly and left the room. After

She is just reviving back, and with her state of health and baby,I don't want to trigger anything " Yeah," she said We talked about other events, and I can see from her face that she is truly happy to be back. I mean, who won't? Everybody is happy that their Luna is back, and so I am. My mate is back, and not only that, she is back. She is back with my child " So since Lucy is right,you need to work the enmity between you two out. " she said suddenly After I thought about it ,I realized that there was no reason to hold a grudge against her, and moreover

Mira, Eva wolf asked " What do you think I should do?" Eva said back to her wolf " Well, I don't know. But we did a lot together, before you can be this outspoken.

RAYMOND'S POV Writing and sending letters to the neighbouring packs and the one beyond,who have not heard about the True Alpha,telling them about it " You shouldn't make it compulsory for the packs far away. Just tell them that we now have a True Alpha, and if they wish to succumb to his authority, they are free unless they have a True Alpha at their region," Alpha Carnelian said " That's right. The packs that you want to rule don't have a True Alpha,so it is easy that way. But those far away packs can have a True Alpha that we haven't heard of," Uncle Taylor,father Beta, said " Okay," I said and continued writing the one I was writing initially before I got interrupted " I think that's all," I said while checking if there was a pack I had not written to, and when there was no,I stood up " Good," I said " When did you plan on going?"

RAYMOND'S POV I shouted at her for the first time ever, I could have done better. I could have made a joke out of it,but I chose to shout, and now she is afraid I might hurt her She didn't tell me that she is, nor did it show in her facial expression that she is. But I know that, deep down in her,she is afraid I might hurt her " Eva," I called her slowly, and she widened her eye orbit, indicating that she was listening, but I needed her to answer me not just with facial expressions but with her words " Eva?" I called again, really hoping that she would give me a yes as an answer and not just a sign, but she didn't, and it baffles me " Eva?"
