Chapter 25

"Who the hell is he?"

****

Romero's pov

The air in the room hung thick with tension. I stood before Kingdom, my shadow falling long and imposing on the rogue who was lying on the red floor.

The floor, as it was, was stained with black spots. I knew it was as a result of dried blood.

My eyes, sharp and determined, locked onto kingdom, searching for the slivers of fear, the cracks in his washed facade. Kingdom returned the gaze, his expression stoic, a mask that hid the storm brewing within.

He seemed to have recovered from what happened earlier.

"Leila," I began, my voice a low rumble, "tell me where she is."

Kingdom scoffed a dry, humorless sound. "You think I know? You think I'm a saint, a knight in shining armor who'd share secrets with the likes of you?"

"you're a criminal," I retorted, my tone unwavering. "Your kind is always playing for higher stakes, always bound by loyalty to a higher power. Who's the one pulling the strings, kingdom? Tell me." I yelled.

    Chapter 26Romero povWalking around the room, I found something that looked like a desk, so I moved closer. On the desk was a single, faded photograph. The face was one I couldn't make out. Pointing my light at it, I saw a picture of a middle-aged man. In it was written "Dada", a man with piercing blue eyes and a smile that held an unsettling chill. Why does he look like Amelia? I thought. I knew every single face in the pack as I had them mastered all of security purposes. I knew Amelia. She was Leila's step-sister. Could this be her brother too? I thought but on looking at the picture, the man there looked too old to be Beta Carlson's son and Amelia's brother.Beside it was a diary, its leather cover, already cracked and faded. its pages were filled with thoughts that seemed to be scribbled in a hurried hand.I looked through it as I tried to read it but it seemed as though it could only be read by the writer.I managed to look through the pages but then found a better-looking pi

    Chapter 27Romero's povThere was a higher rogue, a puppet master, pulling strings from the shadows. I had seen it in the rogue's eyes, the flicker of an understanding that he didn't possess.The truth was a heavy weight on my chest, a secret that threatened to suffocate me. I knew he had to tell Xander, my Alpha, but the fear held me back. Alpha Xander, driven by vengeance and grief, was a volatile force, a raging storm unleashed. I wasn't sure if he could handle my alpha's fury, his disappointment, his disbelief if he ever found out.I tried to prepare myself, to gather the courage, but the words always seemed to falter on my tongue each time I spoke. The weight of the pack's expectations, the fear of my alpha's wrath, the burden of the truth – it all pressed me down, a suffocating blanket of anxiety.I tried to distract myself as I threw myself into my duties, my patrols, and my training, but the scent of fear lingered, like a phantom, reminding me of the truth I couldn't escape.

    Chapter 28Romero's PovAmidst the towering shelves and hushed whispers of the grand library, I decided to embark on a solitary quest for knowledge at another deserted library. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, I delved into the labyrinthine corridors, my keen eyes scanning the spines of countless volumes. I sought not a specific book but a glimmer of the unknown, something that would ignite my imagination and unravel the threads of forgotten mysteries.As the hours dwindled, my search grew more intense. I ventured into secluded alcoves, tracing my fingers along the dusty bindings. My mind raced, connecting fragments of information, piecing together a puzzle that seemed to evade my grasp. The air grew heavy with the weight of ancient secrets, and a faint sense of unease crept into my consciousness.There were so many tables with books all over. Immediately, I walked around, scattering them as they were all abandoned and wouldn't be used in the coming years. Suddenly, a sharp twinge

    Chapter 29Romero povI hated it but I had no choice right now. The alpha got the signal of my plead for help.He knows how I hated being at the hospital so he had ordered the nurses to treat me in my room which happened to be the best place for me right now.My eyes were heavy with pain medication and exhaustion as I focused on the she-wolf tending to my wounds. Her name was Sharon, a gentle soul with a steady hand and a calming presence. Her fur, the color of polished mahogany, brushed against me as she changed my bandage, her touch surprisingly firm.I winced, a low groan escaping my lips. Sharon's face was etched with concern. "Easy, Romero. You’re healing well. Just give it time." she consoled as she leaned closer. Time. That was the problem. Time was a luxury I didn't have. It's been so long since Leila went missing. Something had to be done else this pack wouldn't be at peace."Sharon," I rasped, my voice hoarse. "Did you find out who attacked me?"Sharon's face tightened. "Th

"Romero, I don't know what you think you are talking about.""I know. I don't care at all" I said, my gaze unwavering. "There are enemies in this pack, don't make me think you are one of them."As the words left my lips, a dark silence descended inside the room." Sharon's expression shifted from surprise to a cold fury. She stepped closer, her eyes narrowing. "you dare accuse me, Romero? Do you dare doubt my loyalty? I am well respected Delta not just because of my talent, but my loyalty.""I dare to protect myself," I replied, my voice unwavering. "And I dare to protect the pack."My words hung in the air. It felt like a challenge, a threat. I knew I was playing a dangerous game by trying to push the boundaries of the alliance. But I had no choice. I had to trust my instincts, even if it meant risking everything I

    Chapter 31Romero's povUnder the severe discussion's embrace, as the stars twinkled above like celestial guardians, emerging from the dense undergrowth. My keen eyes scanned the surroundings, my senses heightened by the natural tranquility. A wave of unease washed over me, a subtle disturbance. I had to do something about what I just saw. I thought. I then turned and made my way out of the forest, speedily heading to the palace.I had always been a loyal and devoted delta, my unwavering allegiance to my alpha, alpha Xander unyielding. Wouldn't I be an undevoted delta if I don't make things right? I thought, my heart racing in anger. My alpha Xander was a good one. Why does he have to go through this? From Leila's disappearance to my injuries and all of a sudden, death.With a heavy heart, I made my way to Alpha Xander's office, hoping to find me there, my steps guided by the faint glow of the moon. As I approached the entrance, I noticed alpha Xander sitting sentinel, his piercing

    Chapter 32Xander povIt took me a while in my office. The next day, I had to go through important things and though hectic, I pushed through until I couldn't take it anymore. I then made my way out of the palace into the forest to handle my mental health better without saying anything to anyone, even to my delta.The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long, spidery fingers of light through the dense canopy of the forest. The air, still warm from the day's heat, was heavy with the scent of pine needles and damp earth. A chorus of insects buzzed and chirped, their tiny voices filling the evening silence.With my shoulders broad enough to rival a bear's, I walked through the forest path. I moved with quiet confidence, my boots barely making a sound against the soft earth. I was the alpha of my pack, a leader whose word was law, whose strength was unmatched, but tonight, my mind was troubled. I have sort of peace from the mood goddess but all these still look like fate. I needed the s

The air, once fragrant with the life of the forest, now felt heavy, suffocating."Show yourselves," I commanded, my voice resonating with the power of my alpha status. The shadows, however, remained silent, their shapes contorting in a silent, mocking dance. "I am Aloha Xander, Alpha of the black pool pack. Do you dare to hide in the shadows of my woods? You dare to taunt me?"The shadows seemed to writhe in response, their shifting forms a silent mockery. The air grew colder, the chill clinging to his skin like a spiderweb. I felt a tremor of unease, a prickling sensation that ran down his spine."Do not play games, show yourself." I barked, my voice now a rumble of power. "Show yourselves, or face the consequences.'The shadows remained silent, but their movement seemed to intensify, growing more frenzied and agitate

She made me kneel before the altar and then she started performing rituals over me. A few minutes later, I saw smoke coming out from the altar all at once and we had to wait for it to land. I watched it hover around the air and finally settled on me, filling me up.I shivered within and didn't know when I went unconscious.I soon opened my eyes only to see Alpha Xander staring at me. I then sat up and saw that I was being laid."you are awake," Damian said happily and quickly hugged me. Alpha Xander looked very excited. He was still seated on the wheels provided for him.I stood up and looked around my body. I felt stronger. It was weird at first as I jumped around. The energy in me was top-notch. It was only me, Damian, and Alpha Xander that were there. I think the rest chose

I wasn't willing to sacrifice my daughter in the midst of all these and it felt as though I was losing it already. I didn't know what I was thinking anymore. "what's wrong? Have they been able to find her?" Sonia asked me from behind and I felt my anger rising."What did the chiefs' guards mean by they met the warriors I sent out dead? That's impossible. I will kill them all." I growled in anger and ordered my guards to go gather all the chiefs I had trusted along with the guards. These chiefs helped me get on the throne. There were other chiefs who didn't succumb to me but I had no idea where they were. They left the pack long before I came so I was going to kill the rest for failing in their j

I won't sit and watch my love life go down the drain. I loved Damian and never thought of playing with him.I made my way out of the forest and ran back to the black pool pack, keeping in mind that my father was ruling there at the moment. When I got to the gate of the palace, I paused there for a while before going in.The guards were very surprised to see me but I didn't care as it wasn't the point.It was a bright new day but I didn't think so as I walked in, looking very pissed at my existence. "where are my parents." I asked the gate at the main door of the building.He then took me in and I walked into the dining to see my parents eating breakfast when my world was shattering. "someone explain what is happening here."They looked up and were very surprised to see me. "what are you doing here Amelia?" my father asked."Oh, my child. I

    Chapter 200Sonia's povI couldn't believe my eyes. Gosh! I understand that Damian is missing and he left with Leila but what has it changed? He is still the alpha. I would rather he prove to the people that he can protect them and solidify his position than this he was doing. He just killed a member and now the whole pack is in mourning. I didn't think he was right in this. We should only go after anyone who threatens our position and not innocent pack members. I turned and walked into the building after him, chasing after him."make me understand the reason for that Antonio. Do you realize you just killed someone?" I queried.He turned and faced me in the bedroom looking really scared. "Sonia I expect you to follow my lead and not ask me stupid questions. Do you realize what will happen if those two get their hands on any power and come after us again?"What the hell was he even talking about? "this is not even the point. You murdered someone you were obligated to protect. This nev

Arrrrgghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!I could not control my anger anymore as my warriors matched out of the black pool pack to find Damian and Leila. I was then wondering how long they had gone missing for as I knelt on the floor at the from of the palace building. On remembering Dennis, I decided to check him out but no matter how much I searched around, he was nowhere to be found. "Where is Dennis? He was here a few minutes ago." I asked one of the guards I had right there."he left long ago. Not too long from when he came." the guard responded and I got very pissed. How could he leave again without saying goodbye?My mind was messed up and I really needed someone to talk to."you are walking around like you have mental issues," Sonia said to me, fueling my anger. "why are you doing this to me? Why are you doing this to me answer me?"I screamed at her.My anger was over the roof.

    Chapter 198Leila's povAntonio was a very desperate and greedy man. We had to listen to every single thing Damian had to say and though I was still angry at him deep within me, I still think it wasn't entirely his fault.Why hurt your fellow werewolf for revenge? It just doesn't add up to me at all.Damian was still with me and the alpha. He unexpectedly went down on his knees to beg me for forgiveness. "I want you to forgive me, Lily. I know you may never want to get back into a romantic relationship with me and I'm not expecting you to or feeling entitled to it. I just want you to forgive me. I was wrong. I admit it. I should have alerted you and if I knew my sister would have died, I would have risked my life so I wouldn't have to live to witness her absence. Please don't take me back but forgive me for all the pain and disappointment I have cost you."I didn't expect this apology but either way, it brought tears to my eyes and I had to cry it out. Yes I loved him and I wasn't jok

Two others then joined them, and all of a sudden they were three.I shifted back a little. I was disappointed because I never thought of fighting anyone. How was I supposed to fight more than one rogue? Seems like I would have to experience what it was like being beaten by a random rogue. I felt tired all of a sudden and then sat down on the floor. "Leila you can't do that." Damian's voice came through."I can't fight them either. I mean it's not like I am that strong. You should give up too. You aren't Alpha Xander." I told him and he realized what u was saying at that instant but still didn't want to let his guard down.The rogues looked mysterious. "Did you just say Alpha Xander?" one of them asked."yes, that's my alpha," Damian replied to them and they stood still, taking their hands like people giving up in a fight. Seeing their reactions. I

I had no idea that the pack was in chaos due to my disappearance. I then started feeling this special gratitude for my Alpha."But Leila... Will you ever forgive me?" I heard Damian ask. I was already making peace with myself."I think you should give me time." I said to him and he didn't argue that as we walked, trying to find our way out of the forest. "if we find ourselves out of the forest? Do you think it will be wise to get into the black pool pack though?""that will be a terrible decision to make. I'm sure you want to be spared. We just have to find a good place to be able to stick to and lay our heads. I don't know if his people have recovered from the spell I cast on them though but I know we have gone far already and are safe from that angle. The only thing to be careful about right now is ensuring we never get to see Antonio or his wife ri

"Leila I know that I do not deserve to be around you right now but one thing is for sure. I am really sorry and I would do anything to prove it. I know you would never want to be with me again, at least not after everything you saw right there. I want to have you. Please give me a second chance to prove myself to you over and over again." I said to her and she was in pain. She put down her head, hoping to cover her face while she cried but I wasn't willing to let her happen and instead placed her head on my lap."Damian I have no choice but to forgive you. It's okay but we can no longer be partners or mates. I cherished all the time spent together but thank you. I will officially pause it here." I heard her after a while. I couldn't believe she said that to me as I was beyond shocked. Leila forgave me? I couldn't believe my eyes and ears."Leila you really forgave me
