Peterson's POV.

"I think I just need to go and clear my head for now, okay? You can go back in there and act like everything is super fine and you are not also bothered about who the killer is and why they killed Liam and Pedro." I snapped as I walked away.

I drove down to Tropicana as I walked inside their bar.

"Are you okay?" Flora walked up to me from the other side of the bar where she was attending to the few customers that were in the bar.

"Don't you ever get tired of working?" I smiled as I looked at her.

"Why would I?" She chuckled. "I get to pay my bills from here, Peterson!!" She said in a light voice as she walked across, entering behind the counter.

"So, what should I get for you? You don't seem to be in a good mood?" She pointed out as she turned around, passing through different wine bottles.

"Just get me some strong wine. Or maybe, why don't we stick to Budweiser?" I said with a broad smile as I looked at her flowing hair.

She turned around as she smiled before pulli

    Peterson's POV. "I know you are still angry about Liam's death but he is dead now, Peterson, and you know what?" She paused for a while as he looked at me, reducing the pace at which she was driving now. "Liam is gone and there is absolutely nothing you or anyone else can do to bring him back to life. He is already decomposing by now. It's been months already, Peterson, accept that!!" She whimpered as tears swelled up in her eyes."And you want to know my answer to your question earlier? I miss him and if I could bring his killers behind bars, then I would happily do that but for now? We have a Collins' issue to take care of so that we don't end up getting the faction infiltrated by another faction and if you keep going after Liam's killer, you might be the loophole they would use to break our faction apart!!" Helen muttered as her tears rolled down her cheeks.Without saying a single word again, she turned back to the road as she increased the pace at which she was driving, causing

    Logan's POV. "Come on, father? Are you being serious right now? Silent now?" I shrugged as I raised my eyebrows as he kept staring at me."And what do you want to hear? You expect me to sit down back there and do what? Talk about the faction? Or how the faction even came to be? Oh, come on, Logan!" He shrugged as he looked at me."I just want to know, father. I just want to know what he meant by the committee of six. You know, father, you do!!" I scowled as I looked at him.I saw him refrain at how precise I was the moment I mentioned the committee of six. "Things were more different than now, son. And right now, it no longer makes any sense!!" He snapped as he raised his eyebrows."We have different factions and our faction is just the founding families, because we were the first six werewolf families that inhabited New Kingston and then, we went by that name but if another faction infiltrates our faction and become in charge of the committee of six, then we will only be powerless

    Logan's POV.I used my hand to clear the top of his cabinet as everything came crumbling down, leaving a heavy thud. Peterson's words kept echoing in my head. I knew that he knew something about Liam's killer and even if he was yet to find out, I still couldn't underestimate whoever it was that was ready to help him find out who Liam's killer was. "Are you okay?" I turned around as I heard that familiar voice from behind. And without wasting a single minute, I used my heightened speed to get to where Jayson stood.I lifted him up as I pinned him to the wall."And why do you care?" I growled angrily as my eyes glistened as veins sprouted out."Why are you here?""What brought you back to New Kingston?""Why are you interested in Liam's killer?""Why me? Why am I your prime suspect? Why leave Rex King out of this? He was the one who attacked him and led to him being in the hospital.""He knew that if Liam made it out alive, he was going to tell everyone and that was why he went ahea

    Logan's POV."And talking about Collins Morgan, I don't think that was a nice move." I scoffed as I rolled my eyes as I looked at him. "I don't trust Collins Morgan and you know? I have been thinking about the faction, about the committee of six. And you know what? From Jayson's reaction when I told him about the faction, it's obvious that he doesn't know anything about our knowledge of it.""Which then leads me to the next question, "What if Collins has a faction?" I scowled as I looked at him. "Considering his interest in making our faction pay for all our crimes, then I think he has something bigger than we think we know." I sneered as I furrowed my eyebrows.Owen squinted his eyes as he looked at me. I could see the shock that overwhelmed him as he thought of it and then, I could see the hesitation that followed next."What do you mean by he isn't aware? And, come on, Logan, there is absolutely no way Collins would be aware of the committee of six." He said with a frown on his fa

    Rex's POV."So, what next? Will you have me locked indoors all through?" Mother scowled as she looked at me. She raised her eyebrows as she crossed her right leg over her left."I have been in New Kingston for almost twenty four hours, Rex." She snarled as she wore a frown. "What didn't you get when you got informed that Kingsley was currently in New Kingston? Huh?" She scowled angrily and I could see the disappointment on her face. "Mother, you won't understand. This is difficult. This isn't easy, mother!!" I whined as I got up from the sofa. It has been twelve hours since she made her way to New Kingston with her special aides, Ethan, Allen and Iverson. "Oh, mother! You knew there was no way I would go back there with you. Why won't you give up, mother? She made it plain to me. I saw the hatred in her eyes when she spoke to me earlier today, mother. " I said with a frown on my face as my eyes got teary. I wasn't anywhere close to crying but then, I just still couldn't get the i

    Clark's POV. Alice King had made her way to New Kingston the moment she got the news of Kingsley making his way to New Kingston and all she cared about was making sure that no harm came close to her grandchildren. That was something I could relate to. "Haven't you been sitting him down and talking some sense into him?" Alice yelled angrily as she looked at me. "That is why I sent you alongside. You are his beta, Clark!!" She snapped as she rolled her eyes. "I am doing my best, mother!" I said in defense as I raised my eyebrows. "But you know, he can be stubborn at times but he still tries his best. I don't think Elena has gotten over the hurt she got when he betrayed their mate's bond." I shrugged as I turned to where he was seated."Seriously?" He snarled. "How many more times will you all keep making mention of the mate's bond?" He scowled as he rolled his eyes. "That was just a little mistake I made and for crying out loud, it has been five years already." He said in defense

    Alphonso's POV. He nodded his head as he forced out a smile. "Yeah, I do. But you wouldn't tell me. So, why now?" He shrugged as he raised his eyebrows. "Nothing in return but then, I can't let you go around seeking answers because I don't want people to start forming more factions than there are."I shrugged as I sipped the scotch."Why? How many factions do we have out there?" He asked as he furrowed his eyebrows, squinting his eyes like he could get the answer from me."Don't give me that look. For now, there is none to get worried about. We made sure we broke them apart and they fled New Kingston for good seventeen years ago." I muttered as I forced out a broad smile. "But then, few stayed back but not as a faction but just normal packs." I muttered as I smirked."So, you see? There is nothing much about the factions as you think there is, okay?" I said calmly as I got up to leave."Then why would someone send a message to Peterson. He spoke of the factions, the committee of six

    Peterson's POV."What do you know about the committee of six, Peterson?" I heard a husky voice from behind, causing me to turn around quickly in defense as I raised my eyebrows.I couldn't see who the person was because of how dark my room was. I quickly stretched my hand to the switch but then, my table lamp wasn't there any longer. I jolted up with full speed as I reached for the switch on the wall to turn on my room light but then, it wouldn't come on."Who are you?"I turned around this time around as I frowned. "I... I guess you are the unknown person who texted me earlier." I scoffed as I stood firmly, ready to defend myself."Can you not try any harder?"The man said groggily this time around as he remained there, only his long thick coat was visible and from his chest upwards, it was completely dark considering the place he stood. I looked at his hands as I saw a tattoo on both hands. I squinted my eyes, trying to decipher the tattoo. He quickly noticed, drawing his hands

    Kingsley's POV I was happy with his answer. If he wanted it as much as I wanted it, then we were getting it. I wanted him to know it as well. "The exact thing I wanted to hear. If you want this Governorship as much as I want it, then we're getting it. You're the perfect leader for this city, Alphonso. I've watched you, and you deserve to be more than just a millionaire. You're a born leader. Now, select a date to announce your candidacy."I watched him while he thought about it, glancing briefly at his laptop to probably check the calendar and his schedule. He thought briefly, then looked at me with the confidence of a man that had just discovered his purpose. "Tomorrow will do just fine."I nodded with a smile. The Governorship throne was within our reach. It was only a matter of time now.

    Rex's POV Bruce McNeil adjusted his Italian suit, then continued speaking, his hands gesturing as he did so. "My men will start moving the bakery tools and equipment as soon as possible."I shook his hand firmly. We had a deal.As soon as Bruce McNeil and his men were out of earshot, Clark was beside me in an instant. "A hundred and fifty grand, Rex? That was way too much. How are we going to recover that?" That was his job. Even though he was a little bit harsh, I was okay with it. It was his job to guide me and protect me if need be. "We might not recover it, but I'm definitely not allowing any harm to befall my kids and Elena. We're the only ones they have, Clark. We need to protect them."With those words, I ended the conversation, prompting him to focus on the documents that were being brought in. I was going to do anything to protect my children and Elena, even if it was at the expense of a few dollars. KINGSLEY'S POVAs soon as the phone was found, I began making calls.

    Rex's POVWell, it seemed I was in luck. Without waiting for an answer from the woman, I made my way towards the figure in an Italian suit, ignoring the guards around him. I was instantly shoved by the guard next to him, who did nothing to hide the revolver that he now had in his right hand."Hey, hey, hey. Easy on him, Crawford. Young man, who are you? I'm sorry, but you don't just walk up to people anymore, the city we live in is a mess."I smiled, then faced him squarely, ignoring the guard whose name I had just discovered was Crawford. "I'm Rex King, sir. And I've been trying to reach you for the past week."His eyes flew open, widening as soon as he heard my name. "Rex king? One of the greatest alphas to come out of the land of Cleveland? I'm sorry, it has been a very hectic week. You own The Eleven, right? When I heard that it was bought by a new entrepreneur, I was confused. Until I heard the name. You're a legend, man."I smiled at Clark, then shrugged."Thank you, Mr Bruc

    COLLINS'S POVI nodded, agreeing with Dahlia. I knew a few vendors, the man that I had purchased my bike from, he was a friend. Carl McDonald. He had a lot of good cars in stock. I could get a cheap deal from him. Even if it wasn't cheap, I was still going to get it. Dahlia was right. Maybe it was going to be alright if I spiced up Elena's life a bit. "I think that's a good idea, Dahlia. That's a clear and obvious reason why I came to you. You know, these kinds of things, it's always been better when you ask a woman. You're a woman like she is."Dahlia outstretched her arms, a huge smile on her face. "Well, what can I say? You know I did work like that once for a man, helping him decide gifts to get his wife while they worked on their reconciliation process. I'm guessing that's where I developed my talent for knowing the specific gifts to give out to people."I dropped the empty bottle of sprite after downing the contents. Then I yawned. "I think I'll be leaving now, Dahlia. And

    COLLINS'S POVWhile the news of the Governor's plane crash made its rounds around the city, I paid a visit to the house I had secured for Dahlia, my sister and her children to live. I just had to knock once, and the door was opened by Dahlia herself, dressed in an apron that was stained thoroughly with dough. She smelt of eggs, flour and milk, and I knew why. It was Saturday, and she was probably having a cookout with the kids, a practice that our mother had employed when we were younger. "Collins! We've not seen you in days! Where have you been? How have you been? Children, it's your uncle. Uncle Collins is here!"I smiled at the excitement in her voice, wondering how she was going to feel if I suddenly told her that I had been involved in the crash that had landed the Governor's plane in the river. "Well, you know what they say. I went on a personal retreat. I went to discover a bit of myself.""Uncle! Welcome uncle Collins!" It was Felix, his loud voice making my ear hurt momen

    Rex's POV"I think I should see my grandchildren one more time before going to Cleveland. What do you think, Rex? They deserve to know that their grandma is leaving. And Elena too, bless her poor soul."It was my mother's voice, and I tried to ignore the fact that I wanted her gone already. Her being around only complicated things. With the death threats I was receiving, the insecurity of the state and the upcoming elections, things were surely going to get messy. "These eggs are so good. Everything in general, you know. With Clark here, you don't need a chef around. You don't need these helpers, you know." She said again, dumping the eggs into her mouth.We were in the dining room, I sat at the head, Clark beside me, and my mother directly opposite me. A few years ago, the dining room would've been filled with my wife and two children. But at the moment, I didn't even know if they belonged to me. "Thank you, Mrs King." Was Clark's curt reply. "You know, mum, you've been talking

    Rex's POV The line went dead, and I stared at the phone in my hand. No matter how hard I tried, I could see that she was hell bent on making sure that those boundaries were felt and were put in place. Was there still hope when it came to her? Clark and my mother seemed to still believe, but I knew I had stopped believing a long time ago. Just then, the door opened, revealing Clark. He was dressed in a flannel shirt and jeans, two brown paper bags in his hands. He was supposed to get us specially prepared Chinese food from a Chinese restaurant, and I wondered why he had taken so long. "Come on, man. What has taken you so long? How's the food? I hope it's scorching hot, I need it that way."He nodded, then handed a pack to me which I accepted willingly. "I went to see Marie along the road. Decided to tell her the dangers lurking. She deserves to know. At least, one of them has to. And we can trust her not to tell Elena, but keep an eye on the kids as well. Which to me, is satisfac

    MARIE'S POV "Death threats?" I managed to voice out, my words coming out in the form of a croak. It was tiring. I could only imagine the reaction of Elena if she heard such news. She was going to go hysterical with worry. "It's actually connected to Rex, but they want to harm the twins. Not on my watch, Marie. I would rather die than see anything happen to those children, Marie. And I won't take it lightly on anybody I catch around them." He paused when the waiter arrived with the iced tea. I accepted it with a smile, sipping instantly. The chilliness and the flavor hit me, and I recognized that the news I had just received had made me slightly dehydrated."However, we're making plans. Serious plans. At the moment, we've decided to take the bakery just opposite the house. From there, I believe that we can strictly monitor the house and pounce on anybody around it."It sounded like a good plan. I was scared. Not even for my life, but the life of the little kids and the life of Elen

    Elena's POV"Well, that simply means you're the mother of special children, Elena." Marie began, looking at me as I tried in vain to reshape the biscuits that had seemed to go badly because the dough hadn't been well prepared. "Yes, I know that. They've always been special children from the start, Marie. I know you remember that. The problem now is their father. Is he a special man? I doubt it. He didn't believe me even though he knew the love we shared was extremely genuine. Forgiveness is hard, Marie."I managed to complete, staring at the biscuits before I put them into the oven. Marie was beside me in an instant, tickling me. "I know that forgiveness is hard, but he's the mother of your kids, Elena. You have to consider that. Since he saw you, he's done nothing but try to be a good father, and also have you on his side in support as well. But I can't tell if you're going to support him..."Something inside of me snapped. Why did everybody derive joy in telling me what to do all
