Chapter 36Alessia's povThis man again? I thought. He was familiar. I knew I had seen that face before. Smiling, I stood up and threw his hand back at him.Pretending like nothing happened, I turned to leave."what were you doing at the red den?" his voice came through. I froze as regret washed me I guess I shouldn't have appeared there. Going closer to the red den was another mistake. "I know nothing about what you spit" I replied and started leaving. I made sure I walked faster and did my best to wash away the memories of meeting such a grumpy old man.When I got to the front of Carlson's house, I remembered I had not taken my medicine for the day. I guess I had to go to my house. My wolf was faulty but no one knew 'cause if they knew, it would be a stain to my reputation. On getting to my house, I realized no one was home so I quickly got in, took my medicine, and made my way out again. "You smell of a portion I know." a voice came through from behind. Shocked at the familiar
Chapter 37Alessia's povIt felt as though I should kneel and cry at his feet that minute but I had to hold my body system else I'm fucked up.Worried, I had to take out the mask, letting him see my face. I had no idea why I had to go through this but I felt as though it was my karma."Fine but you are not allowed to speak about anything you know," I said to him, making sure I remained strong so he wouldn't notice just how I was vibrating from within."let's meet at 6 pm this evening how about that?" he asked me."sure but where?""Disguise. This is my house," he said, giving me a piece of paper that had the location of his house.Weird! Later that evening, I made my way to his house, feeling enticed that at least I would have fun after a while. Happily, I got to his house. It was an old home. Too old for someone like him to be living in though and it made me doubt if it was actually his home."That's my bed," he said to me without greeting, making me wonder what the fuck it was he w
Chapter 38Alessia's povI choked heavily on the water I kept sipping and a few minutes later, I was able to relax and the moment my head touched my bed, I slept off. The next morning, I walked out of my door and saw a man standing there. Could it be the same person the night before? I thought but as soon as he turned, I realized it was a different person entirely. "Do you realize you look suspicious standing in front of a young she-wolf's house?" I asked, my voice so loud. I wanted him to sense my anger. "You are more suspicious so be more quiet to avoid implicating yourself." He said and walked towards me. "By the way, what were you doing with omega Vain?" He asked me and I looked up at him like he was stupid. "I don't know anyone by the name vain. Can you just get out?""I can go but you have to beg me. I know you have a hand in what happened to Leila. If nothing, you know her whereabouts.""I don't know what you are talking about. Why are you harassing me?" I asked him. "Hara
Chapter 39Alessia's povLifting it up, I quickly pushed it into one of the deepest wells in the Black pool pack. After that, I ran out and headed to my house. Panting heavily, I was about to open the door when I caught a man standing there and looking at me. What the heck? I swore inside of me. I really didn't want to have to deal with people all the time. "What are you doing there?" He asked me. I couldn't see him clearly as I was famished and tired. "Not your business, not your problem," I said to him and attempted to walk in when he pushed me hard to the floor causing me to almost strain my back muscle. "It's the pack business. Why do I see blood all over you?" He asked me. I looked into his eyes. Like me falling made me more sober. "I want to go in. ""you are going nowhere." He said to me and attempted to go see what was thrown."Look Jack you are my friend and I will never lie to you. You have to listen to me." I said to him. "Shut up I stopped being your friend the mom
Chapter 40Alessia's povWhat does he need that for? I thought."Let go of me." I freaked out and before I could say another word, he injected me.Oh no!I cried as I then started losing my consciousness. It turned out he had given me four times the lethal dosage.****I woke up feeling lightheaded as I tossed and turned around what felt like a wooden chair.Where was I? I thought as I looked around and realized where I was. This house again? I turned around to see if anyone was around but no one was there to pay attention to me.Smiling a bit, I stretched my legs. For some reason, I felt better. On the table close to the wooden bed, I sighed balms and native drinks. Did he treat me himself? Where could he be? I said and started feeling a bit careful. Sitting up, I put on the footwear that clearly wasn't mine as I sought escape. But on reaching the door, I realized, I was naked. Shit! I spat and rushed back to the bed, quickly covering my body hoping no one had seen me."where is h
Chapter 41Alessia's povOn hearing my voice coupled with me hitting him hard, he jumped up from the bed and faced me.Shocked, I stared at him for what seemed like forever."Gabriel? What the hell are you doing here?" I asked him."I'm sorry I just wanted to help. Please be calm. Don't be frightened. I will always be here for you.""Don't give me that crap. Just let me know what your issues are. What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice raising."I have been monitoring you," he said and I froze in shock.Wasn't that too much? I thought. If he has been monitoring me like he said then he must really know too much 'cause a lot had happened in the past few days."look you look troubled okay? Your steps spell fear. Are you in some sort of danger? Do you think someone is after you and fears that you may disappear like your best friend?" he asked me and I laughed in my mind.Turned out he didn't know anything and was just worried that what happened to Leila would happen to me.Gabriel lov
Chapter 42Alessia's pov"You are following me right?" he asked her."ouch! I feel some kind of headache. Can I skip this?" I asked faking sickness."Where did the sickness come from? We were just here. Oh on! Alright, I guess I will have to go alone." he said to me and at that moment, I felt my problem ease without stress. Soon, he made his way out of the house to go attend the meeting himself while I chilled back in Carlson's mansion.**********Gabriel's povDespite my parents' hatred for Alessia, I had made sure I made her feel precious. Just as precious as I thought she was. I loved her, there was no doubt and I made her realize that I could accept her any way she was.I went back to my house to get prepared for the meeting when I heard a knock on my room door. My eyes changed as I was starting to get pissed. I hated being interested when I was preparing to go out. Thinking it was one of the omega in my father's house, I decided to be quiet. But that was until the knock became lo
Chapter 43Gabriel's povHandling her the medicines, I watched her reaction.Her expressions changed and she looked at the drug and then at me. I wondered what the expression meant as for some reason the smile I saw on her face was on and she stared deeply at me. "Are you trying to see through me?" she asked me and I turned my head. "no," I replied. She was wrong about that. I was just trying to give my mother the benefit of the doubt. I thought that if my mom saw us together in public for once, her perception would change and she would strive to protect Alessia's name at all costs all for my name but the look on her face wanted something else."You don't necessarily have to go to the meeting anyways, so what if I say I want you" she asked me and I passed my hands mid-air.Really? I never thought of that as I good idea. Though enticing, my duties in the pack come first."Look Alessia, we can do this some other time okay? Let's focus on something else for now. Didn't you say you love
Chapter 203Leila's povI couldn't understand why though but I knew that whatever it was, it would work in my favour."step forward Leila," the priestess said to me and I moved forward with the help of Damian. 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
Chapter 202Antonio's povI didn't know if that was a good idea or a bad one cause after seven hours of leaving the pack some guards who claimed they were from the chiefs returned with my warriors' clothes stained in blood and reported to me that they had met them all dead.I felt devastated. 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
Chapter 201Amelia's povI couldn't understand the reason Damian chose to get away from me like this so I swore to get to the root of the matter. 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
Chapter 199Antonio's pov"Search them! Fish them out right now!!!" I commanded my men as I watched them leave. 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
Chapter 197Leila's pov"You look ready." the rogue appeared in our presence well covered.We looked at each other and then at the rogue. 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
Chapter 196Leila's povDid they get attacked? I couldn't believe my ears. I had lived in the cage with the mindset that I was nothing. 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
Chapter 195Damian's povI didn't need anyone to tell me. I knew I had not just lost my sister. I had lost Leila too. "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
