*****Kyle's POV***I quickly shut Jasmine up before she would talk out of line. It would be terribly disastrous if those outside were to hear what she was saying. I can't let her die, even though she's at fault. “Dad?”“You shouldn't speak of things that would get you in trouble, my child.”“Huh?”“Even though you tried to have her killed, I understand that it's because you didn't want her to take your place at the Alpha's side.”“Wait dad, do you mean you still support me even when you know what I did?”“I know what you did. Do you think I wouldn't know what you're capable of? From the moment I saw the scissors in the hands of Melissa, I knew you both had fought over something. And knowing how dominant you are over Melissa, I knew you must have attempted on her life first.”“But dad, since you know all this, why didn't you say anything? Why didn't you tell Alpha Caspian that I have been the one at fault, and that Melissa must have tried to defend herself? You're the Alpha's beta. I'
***Caspian's POV***Every night, I dream of the day of Melissa's execution and how she broke off the mate bond. And whenever I dream of it, I lose sleep. I was filled with regret. If I had known she was actually my mate, I never would have made the mistake of trying to execute her. Though what I felt for her was pity, it still wasn't her fault for what she went through. I have known her since she was little, and I know that beta Kyle never really liked Melissa. His favorite has always been Jasmine. At this point, I blame myself for all Melissa had gone through. I had always felt this attraction towards her, but I always backed up my feeling with pity. I would rather not bring myself to admit that I actually had feelings for Melissa. And this was because everyone, though, Melissa was a weakling. I couldn't bring myself to admit that I had feelings for her, knowing she was a weakling. To be honest, that was the only thing stopping me from letting my feelings take place with Melissa.
***Melissa's POV***I just do not understand what Alpha Caspian is up to as of this moment. Everything he does seems rather Strange. This was the first time I had a good talked with him. And to be honest, I didn't actually see anything mighty about him. All what he was saying only annoys me Asif this moment. He did plenty of things wrongly, and he's going to apologize now? “Alpha, as you well know, I'm mated to Alpha Xavier now. I guess the moon goddess finally took pity on me.”“That's not true. The moon goddess doesn't give mates to those who already have. Dead or alive. I know you're only just saying this just to make me feel bad. And I have to be honest when I say, I'm truly affected.”This was strange, coming out of Alpha Caspian. This is so not what I expected from him. “Listen, Alpha, I don't know how else to convince you about this anymore, but I'm serious when I that you're not my mate anymore. The mate bond between you and me was broken, the day I was to be executed. Ever
*****Melissa's POV***She dragged me by my hair with all anger. “Jasmine, let her go at once!” Caspian commanded, but that only made things worse because she rather tightened her hold on my skull, making it difficult for me to even make a turn.“I will never let her go! I want to show you just what a weakling she is. Did you think she can be your Luna? She doesn't even have what it takes to be your Luna to begin with.”This seemed to spike up my anger at this point. It was bad enough that she drained my powers at every full moon, and now she's trying to prove that I'm the weakling, when she's clearly the weakling here. As if I were possessed by a force, I swiftly grabbed Jasmine's hands tightly. “Let go of my hair while you still can, Jasmine.”“What? You think you can command me on what to do and what not to? Who the fuck do you think you are to tell me what to do?”Jasmine's audacity had gotten out of hand, and all this is because I let her have her way in the past. Maybe with th
****Xavier's POV***When I said the last words, I could tell that I might have somehow hurt her by my words. Actually, I really didn't mean to sound that way. All this happened when I saw her with him. I had wanted to check up on her like I did the other nights before turning for bed. This is because I didn't trust anyone from the Lockwood pack. Not even Alpha Caspian. And since the Lockwood pack was known for sorcery, I couldn't trust my men all they needed to be able to protect Melissa on their own. And this is the only reason why I took up the task of checking on her every night before retiring to sleep. But this time, when I came, I was unable to find her. I searched the whole place, but it seemed as though she had disappeared without a trace.At that moment, the only thought I had in mind was that she must have been abducted by Caspian or even Jasmine. When I finally got out of the sock house, I perceived her Scent. To further make my worry intensify, her scent led me into the
**Jasmin's POV**“Great witches, I need your help.”“What potions do you want this time?”“It's not about potions.”“Huh? Not about potions, then about what?”“I need a charm that could kill someone. I don't have much time left. You all have to hurry and hello me with it.”“Huh?” This is rather confusing.”“Why do you want it so urgently? We told you before now that the potion of death is hard to make and hence you'll have to give us time,” one of the witches reminded. “You're right about what you said, but I don't have time. It came urgently. I'll make do with anything, asking as it would kill my target.”“Well, if you want it so urgently, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get you such potions, however, we could make a Weapon for you that can kill your target.”“Okay. That's preferable. As long as it would kill her, I'm fine with it.”“But of course, our weapon is as deadly as a death potion. So, who exactly are you using it for? A werewolf or a vampire ?”“It is for a werewolf. A w
***Alpha Xavier's POV***“What? A silver dagger, you mean?”“Exactly. What do you think Jasmine plans to do with a silver dagger?”“There are quite a few things she can actually do with a dagger, but the most important of them all is for killing. Wait a minute, it can't be that she plans to end her existence?”“Think out of the box, Drake. You think someone like Jasmine would give up just like that and prefer to die?”“Well, I really don't know about her temperament or what she's capable of doing.”“You should put all of those things into consideration if you really are eager to work with me. It's obvious that what Jasmine is planning to do is murder. And in this case, only one person is the target.”“You mean, miss Melissa?”“You're at least smart here.”"Shit! How bold of her. She dares to plot the death of your mate right in front of you.”Not because she's my mate, but the fact that Jasmine had the guts to plot to kill my mate knowing I'm close to her every minute of the day shows
****Melissa's POV***I was locked in my room these past few days. Even though I felt terribly bored, I dared not complain. This was because I already know they are doing this for my own good. But strangely today, I noticed that more guards were stationed outside the door. This got me a little scared. I wonder if it was because of the trail tomorrow. I still haven't gotten any evidence. I mean, how I am supposed to find evidence when I'm not allowed to leave my room. To make things worse, I haven't seen Alpha Xavier for two days now. I couldn't help but wonder what he was up to these past few Days that he didn't drop by like he used to in the past. Could it be that he is busy because of tomorrow's trial? I mean, he agreed to the trial which is to take place on the 7th day. Could that have been the reason I have not seen him?While I was thinking about all these, my Rolf suddenly became restless, and then, a familiar scent wafted through my nostrils. At that moment, my heart began to
