(Nikita's P.O.V.)Beta Poppy looked away after hearing my question. She lowered her head, trying to hide the tears building up in her eyes. I heaved a deep sigh.Now, I know why she's always wearing long sleeves. It is to hide the scars and wounds her husband gives to her.I can't believe this. Her good for nothing husband does not only make her head hurts with a bunch of gambling debts he's putting on her shoulder. he's also hurting her physically. Why would she put up with a guy like him?"Poppy? Answer me. The ones I saw on your arms looked like fresh wounds. Is your husband hurting you?" I asked again, persuading her to tell me the truth. Fear is obvious on her face. I know that her husband must have threatened him for who knows how much. I also see a hint of shame in her eyes.She must not be expecting me to see that, and ask her about her wounds. At this point, I'm not just the daughter of the Alpha she's serving, I'm also her friend... And as her friend, it truly breaks my hear
(Nikita's P.O.V.)W—What...This can't be true.My face squeezed as the pain struck my heart again. I put pressure there using my hand, hoping that it would ease the pain I'm feeling inside."What did he say?!" Tala furiously blurted out. I could feel her anxiousness building up in my chest. A few seconds later, and she's already howling."W—Wolf..." I muttered.I weakly lifted my head to look at Beta Poppy who was looking at me worriedly. She tried to touch me, but I quickly stood up on my own when my legs betrayed me. I fell on the ground."N—Nikita! Let's go back to the pack. I will bring you to the pack healer—""I'M FINE!" I raised my voice.I refused any help from her, and tried to stand up again. I don't want to talk to anyone right now.At this moment, I just feel like I'm in Hell.I'm already in deep trouble with my mother now in danger of getting punished by the Werewolf council. Now, here's another surprise from my apathetic mate.How selfish can he get? He only cares about
(Lea's P.O.V.)ARGH!!!How did I end up being in a room with this bitch? All I can remember is waking up to see her sitting in the living room, waiting for my brother's arrival. It hasn't been that long since Clara came here, but she already surrounded herself with our helpers to serve her.She had one of them prepare her snacks while she ordered others to do her nails and hair.Let me tell you something. I have been living at the pack house as the Alpha's daughter for eighteen years, but never in my entire life have I asked any of them to do a makeover on me. This bitch is turning our house into a salon!"Everyone. Go back to your work."All the helpers serving Clara looked at me and her anxiously. It's like they're contemplating whom to follow. The sister of the Alpha of their pack, or this woman who's already acting like she's the Luna of our pack.Eww...The thought of her being my sister-in-law still creeps me out. I just wished this was a horrible nightmare, and I will wake up t
(Trojan's P.O.V.)"You called me?" I said in a monotonous voice as soon as I arrived at Alpha Leon's office. He lifted his head to give me a frantic glare.What did I do this time? I was busy reminiscing about what happened between me and Nikita in the woods. To be honest, I wasn't prepared for this unexpected summoning from him. It makes me hate the idea of having mind link powers on werewolves.He angrily slammed his hands on his desk when he noticed my unbothered reaction. I didn't flinched, but it made his female Beta exit his office swiftly."You are being herocious!" Alpha Leon shouted, veins popping out from his old neck. My brows furrowed in an instant. I'm not following. What is he so mad about? Did he learn about what happened to me and Nikita? "Clara told me how you treated her indifferently this afternoon. You do know that she's the future Luna of our pack, right? You should have been more nicer to your fiancee."I released a sarcastic chuckle. "You mean the woman you forc
(Nikita's P.O.V.)Two days passed. It's the day before Alpha Lucia's judgement. I searched day and night, picking up anything that could help me with Alpha Lucia's case, but it felt like I was finding a needle in a haystack.I'm starting to lose hope. Since the Black Magic is considered a taboo, it's hard for me to find any other information that could help support my claim that it's no danger to the werewolf kind. On top of that, I also have to be careful in asking people because I don't want it to spread like fire to people who might take advantage of it. I'm fully aware that it is prone to be used for evil acts. I can't let that happen.I frustratingly turned off the computer in my mother's office. I laid my head on the table with my arms used as my pillow.What do I do now?Even the internet can't help me."We should ask for our mate's help..." Tala suggested. I closed my eyes. She's been saying that since Trojan and I had sex the other day.He left quickly as soon as he finished.
(Nikita's P.O.V.)I looked at him in disbelief. Here I am stressing out because I'm not sure about my mother's safety, and he's asking me whether I want to come with him. I blew a sigh, looking at the piles of books on the table. Whoever I would choose to be with is not my priority at this stage. I have Alpha Lucia waiting on me to save her. I can't play princess and prince in here knowing that she could be tried and punished at any time."Nikita..." he called my name in a much louder tone.Surprised, I immediately turned my head from to left right, thinking that some people heard him. I hurriedly pulled him in a darker corner, putting my fingers on my lips telling him to be quiet. He gave me an apologetic smile."Would you mind lower it down a bit?!" I blurted in a whisper voice. He's not supposed to be in here. How dare he come here by himself. Who knows what will happen to him once they find out that he broke in."I-I'm sorry... I shouldn't have asked you that. It was a wrong ti
(Trojan's P.O.V.)It's the Judgement day of Alpha Lucia who is guilty of using the forbidden Black Magic in the werewolf world. Everyone is gathered to witness how the trial will turn out. Alphas from different packs, and even Elders are here to witness her verdict.I was feeling a little fidgety on my seat. That woman named Clara is beside me. She's been trying to cling her hands into my arm, and who knows how many times I have rejected it. She's just so persistent and desperate.I hate the fact that Father thinks she's deserved of my love. What did she see in this girl?"Do you have a jacket that I could borrow? I wasn't informed that it's a little cold in the court room."I glanced at her in disbelief. As werewolves, it's our nature to have warm bodies no matter the weather conditions of where we are. I don't understand how a small air-conditioning unit makes her feel cold."I don't have."No matter how much I hate her, I still respond to her politely. It's what I grew up doing.Bu
(Clara's P.O.V.)My lips formed a smirk as I watched Alpha Lucia lose control for everyone else to witness.Of course, I'm not going to let her get away, and let everyone believe that she's no threat to all of us. That loser Nikita deserves to suffer. I don't care if it means bringing her mother on danger. She's fatherless after all. What difference does it make if she becomes motherless too?I'm just playing the result of her mother's judgement on the palm of my hands.I know that she will not be able to keep it all inside because a day after the judgement, I sneaked into the private room where everything that will be used to Alpha Lucia's trial were rested. I manipulated the cables, and put something into the drugs that Ron and the others provided.It's the Nessy drug that will surely make her out of control, even the most powerful force cannot suppress its effectiveness.I glanced at the man sitting beside me. He's silently watching Alpha Lucia as she screams in pain in front of us
