Fur appeared on the beta's skin and before he could shift, I grabbed his neck and threw him towards the door, breaking it. The noise alerted the members and they all came running out. Beta Steven was holding his face, trying to get up but I kicked him again in the stomach. He let out an angry growl and he kicked me in the gut, making me fly and hit against the wall. I grunted in pain and stood up quickly but he had fully shifted and he lunged at me, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, and my vision was blurry. There was a lot of noise, it was so loud. I shook my head and as my vision came back, I found myself in the large courtyard. " Adira, are you alright?" Azriel cupped my face. I blinked severally and stood up, facing the brown wolf as he approached me. " Leave," I said in a quiet stable tone. Azriel wasn't going to leave me to face this wolf alone so I had to command him. " Leave, Azriel," he still shook his head. I inhaled and looked at him gently. " I need to do this
" Yes, you are giving your parents the justice they deserve," Azriel said. I exhaled and ran a hand through my hair." I'll make sure someone keeps an eye on them. So, how do you want it to be done?" he asked seriously. " I don't know," I choked. " We can torture them first and then you can kill them," he suggested and I shook my head. I wasn't a killer and those two wouldn't make me one. " I don't care how, but I'm not lying my hands on them," he said. " Well, are you coming to watch?" he asked. " Azriel! Please stop!" I screamed, tears rolling down my face. " Geez, relax just wanted to let you in on the fun but It's fine, I'll do it," he snarled and left. I stared at him in disbelief, he was enjoying this too much. I took a calming breath, counting until I was stable now. 'Oops, here comes the ex,' Kira sang. I felt his presence before he could appear in my line of vision. " Don't you think it's extreme," Grayson said, walking over to me. I watched him with bored eyes. "
Grayson's eyes bulged in surprise and he kept opening his mouth, sweat was running down his temple. " Adira, it- it's not... My father is dead," he stammers. I only carried my bag and looked back at him over my shoulder. " You owe me no explanation, we all have different ways to mourn. By the way, I need to talk to you once you're done in here," I glanced at the omega wolf before leaving the room and going to the garden. This pack still needed a leader and Grayson was trained his whole life for the position. I may not like him but I had to do what's right by these people. I removed my phone from my pocket and read messages from Wyatt, he called a few times too. Grayson joined me in the garden half an hour later, he was fully dressed and his eyes were red like he was crying. " Hello," " How can you be so calm when you ordered two deaths? Adira, that man was my father," he growled. " Watch your tone if you don't want to join them," I warned. He looked shocked by this but I
Azriel This woman was absolutely breathtaking! Her smile was mesmerizing. Even after knowing her for months now, her beauty still amazed me. She talked about the food on the table while I watched her, I didn't like it as much but I pretended to because it made her so happy. When we were almost done with the meal, a middle-aged woman came to our table, a huge smile plastered on her lips. " The unruly child! " she clapped, smiling from ear to ear. " Mrs. Li," Adira didn't seem enthusiastic to see the woman. She stood up and crossed her arms against her chest, waiting for the woman to speak. " Luna, I was so happy when I heard you came to my restaurant," Mrs Li beamed. " Oh really?" she said. " Yes, news of your arrival spread, and what happened, don't worry, we support you and your new position," Even I was impressed by the way she dealt with Mars and Steven. She was so powerful at that moment and so damn sexy. I tuned them out and continued to eat my food. Mrs Li left and
I opened my eyes a few minutes later to a ringing in my headache. I touched the area where I felt the most pain with my fingers and there was a large piece of glass stuck in my stomach. I pulled it out as a muffled scream escaped my lips. It took a few minutes for my eyes to fully open. " Azriel," I croaked. He wasn't next to me. I unbuckled my belt and kicked the door open before going out. My legs were wobbly at first as I looked around for Azriel but as soon as my wolf made an appearance, I got my strength back. " Azriel!" I shouted and ran to him, he was hurt and bleeding. I got to my knees and lifted his shirt. Gently, I touched his torso and concentrated on healing him, and just like before, his wounds slowly began to close and he stirred, groaning. " Stop that," he grumbled, pushing me away. " Are you alright?" he asked, worried. I nodded and he wiped the blood on my forehead with his fingers gently. ' What happened- " " Impressive," We froze at the voice, it was that
Zion's POV A few weeks ago I discreetly went into the Diamond city. I needed to see for myself how everything was and indeed, as my men reported, the king was a vigilante. I wouldn't have made it in or out without the help of my sorcery. On my way out of the palace, I met someone I didn't know I would. At first, I thought it was my love, Meryl but when I looked closely, I knew it wasn't her, those eyes that belonged to the man I loathed more than anything. Benedict Wade Lafayette, my flesh, and blood. Benedict and I grew up as antagonists, just like our fathers, the original Lafayette brothers. They both wanted to be the alpha of our pack but my grandfather chose my uncle for that because he had a pure heart, and in retaliation, my father became a devoted follower of the dark king in hopes to take revenge on his pack but that didn't work out after that fucker Wyatt killed them. Years later, a few devoted members of the Dark King approached me, they selected me as their leader. We
Zion told us more about his father and the dark king's close relationship, I could tell he admired their evil work by how he spoke and my skin crawled. " Those were great men," " They were killers," Azriel barked. " Aren't we all," Zion smiled tightly. I could feel Azriel's alpha aura roll off him in waves and I put my hand gently on his leg to calm him. " What is your plan here?" Azriel asked. " Well, this is a family reunion," Zion smiled and I nodded at his word, making Corey cock an eyebrow in interest. " When will this reunion end?" Azriel gritted his teeth. " Adira, I was thinking you stay here for a while," he said, eating his steak, and my eyes slightly bulged. I fixed my gaze on him. " I was thinking not, I want nothing to do with you, and I see no reason to stay here," I said, keeping my voice stable. His demeanor changed. " I have a life of my own, a mate that is probably going crazy looking for me now," I said. He mulled over my words for a while. "They w
Adira I was surprised when Corey said he'd help us escape, " Why would you do that?" Azriel asked suspiciously. " She's my family?" he put a finger at me. " Bullshit," " Fine, I never did care for family but I want to be in someone's good books, hopefully, this helps," he smirked, Corey looked more handsome and I instantly knew the person he meant. It was Jett, he was in love with the king's gamma. " Who?" Azriel asked. " Jett," I answered. Corey seemed surprised that I knew that. " Was he the one who released you last time you were in custody?" Azriel growled. " Not intentional, I tricked him," " Well, he's in big trouble," " No, you can't tell anyone he's the reason I escaped," he was concerned, and his eyes flashed purple like mine do when I'm angry. " You love him," I pouted, and he scowled. Corey didn't say a word, just running a hand through his lovely white hair. " No, I don't like owing favors, and helping you would be repaying it," Corey was trying to con
