ZADOK’S POV
The pack had been quieter than usual lately.
Since the day I banished Athaliah, the air in the pack was filled with a sense of foreboding. I couldn’t stand it anymore.
I decided to visit the training ground. It’s been a while since I’d been there and I needed some fight to burn off the nerves around me.
Pack members greeted me with a bow as I passed, headed for the one place where I knew I would find Azriel - who had also been distant lately.
I stepped foot on the training ground, and everyone stopped sparring. They got on one knee with their heads bowed. “Alpha.” They chorused in greeting and I nodded my head in approval.
“Rise.” They got on their feet at my orders and I walked in front of them, with a proud look. “I can smell the sweat and blood in the air. I’m glad that the Blood-Hound warriors are still what they used to be.” This time,
CALLA’S POVScarlett handed me a potion to drink while they watched me curiously.Cole never left my side since I regained consciousness. I couldn’t drink it - not after what I heard. Who knew the extent to which they would go to stop me from regaining my memories?Or what they have done for the past three years I have lived here. As I looked them in the eyes, I knew I could not trust them. Not anymore.“Are you feeling pain anywhere?” Cole asked when I failed to drink my ‘medicine.’ I winced at his words.“I think I need to use the bathroom,” I muttered, looking at them both. “Alone.”They shared knowing looks and Cole got on his feet. “I will be back.” He said to Scar. “If there is any problem, do not hesitate to call me.”Scar nodded and he walked out of the room, leaving me alone with her.“Tak
COLE’S POVI could feel her slipping from my hands. My Calla.These days, she has become a whole new person from what I made her to be. She drifted farther and farther away from who she was as time proceeded.I needed to claim her. I had to trap her and make her mine before things got out of hand. I headed to her chambers with one thing in mind. To make her mine, spirit, soul and body.To ruin her for anyone else. Including herself. Whether Calla liked it or not, she would become my woman and bare my pups. With her strong hybrid genes and my Alpha blood, we could create babies strong enough to take over every pack and become the King of all werewolves.A long-term dream of mine.I had yet to explore just how powerful her wolf side could be. There was so much of her to cover and it felt like she was escaping from the reality I had mapped out for her - A reality I had carefully created and planted her inside. 
COLE’S POV“We caught the Gamma of Blood Hound pack in the outskirts of our territory,” Scar said as we walked.My eyes widened. “What?”“She has been arrested and placed in the dungeons. She claims to have a message for you.” She added as we proceeded.“Interesting,” I said as we got to the dungeons. “Good thing I couldn’t sleep. Talk about the right timing.”My blood boiled as I entered the dungeons while she led me further into the dungeons. “Here she is,” Scar said, stepping out of my way.I walked to the front and my eyes met the burning ones of a female wolf who stood without fear in the dungeons. Her face was familiar, I had seen her before. I just didn’t know where.“Alpha Cole.” She bowed in greeting. “Nice meeting you again.” She shook her hands and the chains clattered.
COLE’S POV I received news from my Allies in Zadok’s pack after three days. Our gamma wasn’t lying to me. She was kicked out for deceiving the Alpha and causing him to believe his mate was gone. Although she kept that she had always had the hots for Zadok, I could forgive her. She was too interesting to be killed over something so fickle and mundane. Other than that, I received a comprehensive detail of who she was, how she joined her former pack and her capabilities. I was sufficiently intrigued. As I approached her cell, excitement coursed through me. I couldn’t wait to see her face when I told her my condition. I looked forward to that with all eagerness. I hadn’t seen Calla for the past three days - She was confined to her chambers while I contemplated the best punishment for her misdeeds. It was clear I needed to get her under control. But that would be later. For now, I needed to sort things out with Athaliah. I approached her cells and her head was raised and waiting
CALLA’S POV I hadn’t seen Cole since he tried to rape me. I was going crazy in my chambers, waiting for his next action. His punishment for my refusal to give in to him and my hurting him with my powers but he didn’t come. I didn’t know what was worse - getting punished for my acts or waiting for a punishment that wasn’t forthcoming. In the usual Cole manner, by now, I ought to see something that would point to consequences for my action but this time, there was nothing. I was getting treated better. More food than I could have asked for, more clothes, jewellery, you name them. Cole went above and beyond to spoil me despite not appearing in front of me for the past three days. Was this his way of mentally torturing me? If it was, then it was working. I couldn’t even sleep without the nightmare of him appearing in front of me and trying to kill me. I needed out of this torment. My door opened and Scar stepped in. I couldn’t contain my joy - Finally, someone who could feed me
ATHALIAH’S POV “Of course not.” I giggled, staring the bitch in the face. “You would remember if I met you before, wouldn’t you?” Ithra’s eyes narrowed, and uncertainty filled her look. “I guess.” “Exactly,” I said with a smile, noticing her unease. I wondered what she saw. Or what she remembered to ask me that question. From my observations, Cole wasn’t far from the truth. It seemed like this bitch was getting back her memories. I didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing yet. I mean, I only tortured her in the past and later apologised about it. She wouldn’t mind. She shouldn’t hold grudges. I thought sarcastically. If I was going to place my tent here, I needed to be sure no one could displace me. Not even the future Luna. I felt a plan come together and my smile appeared naturally. “Shall we go on with the business of the day? Do you feel tired, Luna?” My words were concerning but my tone was mocking. She noticed it but covered it up with a stern outlook. Some things
CALLA’S POV. Three knocks on my door, and I was wide awake. “Who’s there?” I asked, jolting from my bed. The door opened and Cole entered with a smile. “Did I wake you up, my love?” I shook my head, “Is there something you need?” I asked, maintaining a safe distance from him. He must have noticed it as he took a few steps closer to me, close enough that he didn’t need to shout from over the room to talk to me. “I came to inform you that you would be training with Scar today.” He said after a while. “I know I said you would be training with Athaliah but there has been a little change in today’s plan.” I didn’t like the sound of that. I had looked forward to meeting her in today’s session, digging into her person and most importantly, finding out why she seemed so familiar and yet hostile to me. “Alright,” I said, holding back the question on the tip of my tongue. “Anything else?” My eyes widened when I realised what I had just said. How dismissive I had sounded. Cole wa
CALLA’S POV I was dressed in a black studded gown and paraded into the dinner hall by Cole. Contrary to my belief, the room wasn’t packed with pack members. Instead, there was a giant table - big enough to feed thirty people in the centre of the room. As we approached the dinner, I realised we were not alone. Athaliah and Scarlett stood on their feet, waiting for us. As soon as we got to the table, Cole dragged a seat by his right and the ladies bowed their heads in greeting. “Have your seats.” He ordered and we all sat down to eat. I could feel the hard gaze of Athaliah on my form and wondered if this was some sort of set-up. I suddenly didn’t feel like eating. “Welcome Luna.” She said and I raised my eyes to meet hers. “I’m sorry I was unable to train with you today.” Her eyes swapped to Cole who’s eyes were already on hers. “I was a bit busy.” Scar cleared her throat and the atmosphere was riddled with tension. I felt like there was an inside joke I wasn’t privy to happeni
