Caleb's POVI headed out and took some documents with me. It was the document that I was supposed to hand to the beta, and thereafter, I asked him to join me for a drink."We have lots of work to do. If we can get it done, then I might be able to accompany you for a drink." He hesitated. "Alpha, I bought something for you both." It was my Beta's wife. She smiled, and then she dropped the breakfast she had prepared."Umm, Christine. Would you mind if I went for a drink with your mate?" I asked with raised brows, and despite all the signs her husband gave her, she still agreed to what I said. "Babe!" He yelled, and she giggled and then left us to do some work."How could you make my wife agree to what you want?" He growled while going through the document."I guess she respects me more." I teased and continued doing our work.We spent the rest of the noon working, and later that evening, we went to the bar where I drank like never before."What about that girl we brought to the pack h
Britney's POVI opened my eyes, and by the time I turned around, I saw him behind me. He was so handsome, and my heart skipped a beat when I heard him groan. I immediately laid back down, pretending like I was asleep.He groaned for a long time, rubbing his head until he saw me right next to him.He frowned, but then he shook his head and got out of bed.I felt my heart broken, and I jumped out of bed to hold his arm."Mate, where are you going?" "Mate, with you?" He raised her brow and then pulled out his hand from mine."What do you mean by that?" He glared at me. However, before we could continue, we heard Reena's scream."Reena!" We both called and dashed out of the room, not caring if we weren't wearing clothes.When we got to the room, Reena was on the ground, and blood trailed down her head.She was crying, and her tears were fixed with her blood. "Logan, Logan is going to die if you don't help him. My baby isn't going to see his father. Please…" she rushed towards Caleb.She
Raze's POVI sat down on my throne, laughing at the woman who stood in front of me. She was old, holding a staff that looked like a stick I didn't understand."You come to tell me I'll be defeated? Who is there to stop me?" I asked, laughing at the look on her face."Don't say I didn't warn you! Everything you think you have now will vanish, and the men you think will stand by you, will–" "Take her away!" I gestured to one of the men who was there. He was always standing by my side to guide me.She didn't even flinch, watching me with a strong look on her face as she was being dragged away from the Packhouse."Today is the full moon, I would need a good woman in my bed tonight," I told one of my advisers before walking to my room.The night came faster than I expected it, and I could only smile at what was going on. The moon shone in the sky, and my men were busy having fun. They were all at the dinner table, drunk. Somewhere guiding the Packhouse, but they had their fair share of f
Reena's POVThirsty and hungry, are the words I repeat every day. I have only known pain and anguish. The loneliness gets even more intense as the days pass by. I suffer in silence and cry out but nobody listens to me. They all seem to hate me. There are days when I've felt like taking away my life and leaving this harsh world, but I resisted the urge to do it. The only thing that kept me going was my plan to escape the pack one day and go far away, to a place where I would never be found. There I will start a new life and know peace. Every day, I hoped a helper would come. Days felt like months, and months felt like years. The torture felt so long that I was astonished at the fact that I still had life in me.I was taken to the pack house where I served the Alpha and tended to his sons who were my agemates. They treated me in a more demeaning manner than the rest of the pack. I was always beaten and bruised, even for the slightest error.I developed a pale-looking body because of th
Reena's POV"Hey! Wake up. Wake the fuck up!" Said Felix, the Alpha's son as he tapped me aggressively. I was still asleep under my shed. "My father is calling you," said Felix again as soon as I opened my eyes. He then left ignoring my greetings. "Good morning sir," I said as I stepped into Alpha's room. He then gave me an irritated look after which he got up from his bed and approached me. I was beginning to feel terrified that I had done something wrong."When my wife was alive, she used to wake up earlier than you, and you are a slave." He said and gave me a resounding slap that got my hand glued to my cheek. "I am... I'm sorry sir" I replied as I stuttered my words. "Did my son wake you up?" He asked."Yes, he did" I replied. "Okay, now take your dirty self out of my sight. I want you to clean the main hall where we hold our meetings. As you know, the annual celebration will be held in that hall this evening. Different packs will be in attendance and the Alpha King who has bee
Reena's POVI could feel my heart beating hard against my ribcage as though it was going to burst and that butterfly feeling in my belly that I was leaving the Greenwood to pack for good.A lot of thoughts ran through my head amid my pain. The thought of eventually gaining my freedom. The fact that the Alpha King himself saved me was like a silver lining in the cloud. "Lay her on the back seat." He said stretching his hands towards the car knob to open it but rather than see those lovely hands, I saw the claws of death causing my joy of finally seeing a helper not to last long. But deep down inside of me, I was happy that I was leaving the Greenwood pack and everything that came with it behind me.The car was set in motion by the driver with the Alpha King in the front seat and a security guard by my side. When we got to the pack house, he turned to me without the slightest trace of joy on his face. "Take her to one of the rooms in the dungeon." He shot at one of the servants and I
Reena's POVAs I reached my room, I pushed the door with the remaining energy in me, entered, and closed it. With my back leaning against it, I began to sob. Closing my ears with my hands and shaking my head like a lunatic. I slid to the floor.I began to reflect on how miserable my life has been. I blamed the moon goddess for creating me on the weak side. Life has not been fair to me, always from one problem to another. I wondered what must have happened to my parents as no one has ever mentioned anything about them."Could they still be alive? Will they come to save me someday?" All these questions ran through my mind but as usual, I had no answers to them.After what seemed like ages, I picked myself up from the floor, removed my dress, and dragged myself to the bathroom. I needed to wash off everything from the cocky alpha and that of Alpha Lorgan. As I walked into the bathroom, my whole body was in pain. My stomach hurts the most from Felix's kicks. Since I survived today, there
Reena's POVMy heart skipped a beat when I saw who it was, my eyes darting around as my heart pounded loudly in my chest while I inched closer to the wall I was seating close to.A sweet scent had penetrated my nostrils, making its way inside of me to alert my wolf. It was the scent of cyder and woods and when I turned my head to where it was coming from, my heart sunk to my rib."Mate," my wolf whispered gently within me as my eyes glued to his orbs which had spellbound me.I wanted to run towards him, to hold him close and to have him all to myself but the hatred I felt for him didn't let me leave where I was seated. I wasn't going to make that mistake of trusting a man so easily again.He stood there, his eyes still fixed on me as he contemplated whether to come to me or not. I could see creased lines on his forehead like he was in deep thought about the matter."He probably doesn't want us," I spoke inwardly, tearing my gaze away from him. If he was ashamed to keep me, then I don'

Britney's POV"Shut up, and prove it, whore!" He yelled at me in anger, and that made me feel sad. My heart felt broken, and I felt like what he called me.I wasn't normally affected by people's words, but it seemed like today was the day that his words ate into me deeply. "Reena…" I tried to run towards her, but he held me back, yelling at me not to show my face to his sister."Please, it's about Alpha Logan. I'm not joking. The moon goddess brought me back to life. His in trouble, please you need to help him, his dying." I noticed Reena's eyes, she still loved him. But Caleb was Ridgid. He didn't want me to come close to Reena."Take her away from hers, I don't want her coming close to my sister, or me!"He gritted his teeth, his strong arms held my shoulders tightly all to push me away."Take her away!" He held, but then some of the elders that had been formed told him she couldn't stay with the Beta. "The beta cannot accept her because he has a family. He's married, but you're
Caleb's POV"Alpha, there's something you have to see." I widened my eyes when I heard what he said.My brows furrowed when I asked him if it was really that important. "Alpha, it has to do with a body, you have to see this. I cannot identify the body." There was a loud thud in my heart when I heard what he said. I wondered how a body could be in our Pack's border. It was so far away from the Pack's, and the closest pack was the one where I got the supply."What boarder.?" Our pack wasn't a little one. We were privileged to dominate a large number of lands, allowing us to have three borders."The eastern one." He was pretty much clear, and without wasting time, I rushed out of there and went back to my apartment. My car was at my place.I wondered what would happen to the body at the border, and I was worried about it too. I didn't know what would happen if I found out that the body belonged to someone from my pack.However, the guard who mindlinked me told me he couldn't recognis
Reena's POVI cried when I saw how my brother turned his back on me. He walked away without even taking a glance at my baby. Caleb was never like this. He was kind, loving, and good. However, what Logan did to me hurt him. "Are you alright?" The midwife who had been in the bathroom the whole while heard everything that happened."I don't know what to feel, I'm…" I trailed off as tears trickled down my eyes."You both need to come to an understanding. He cares for you, or else he wouldn't save you. Your mate didn't find out what happened and placed you in jail, that was cruel." I understood what the lady meant, but I still loved him. I wish she would understand what happened. "You need to rest. That's what you need now. Let those worries pass, okay?" I nodded to her words as she helped me up to the bed. I was tired, and my breast hadn't produced milk for my baby yet, so the midwife told me she would feed him the baby formula."Okay." She was right. Now that she mentioned it, I real
Logan's POVI sat down in my cell, thinking about everything that had happened. It had been days since Raze's empire began, and I had started missing Reena.Caleb was nowhere to be found, almost like they knew this would happen.My heart thudded in my chest while pain washed over me. I was stupid to ignore my mate. Now it was all clearing up in my head. I had chased away the love of my life.I stroked my chin. "I need an escape plan." At that moment, the prison doors opened, and the rays of the sun pierced into my eyes.I covered my eyes with my palms, but that didn't stop the pain from the bright light."Let go of us, let go!" Those voices sounded familiar, causing tingles in my ears."The elders?" I recognized three voices and in an instant, my cell was opened. No doubt I could have attacked the guards, but I was chained by the hands and feet.I growled, shock showing in my eyes when I saw them there. I never expected that they would end up like this. It was shocking how everything
Raze's POVA satisfactory smile was plastered on my lips when I came out of the cell. My plan worked like crazy. All these while they thought I was crazy, but I was building an army within the Pack's walls. I was going to make sure my plan goes down."You, make sure no one brings him food or water. Whoever does that should be killed for going against my orders, is that clear?"He nodded to my Alpha. "Yes, alpha." He replied, and then I walked away from there. I had unfinished business in my room that I needed to handle.I walked into the quiet Packhouse, and when I got to my door, I inhaled the scent of the one person I locked in there. "Hmmm." I scoffed, opening the door to see her seating. The room was out with scented candles, and the windows were locked to create that steaming effect."What the heck is your problem, let me go!" She yelled, but I laughed.She spoke boldly, yet there was a hint of her. Her heart was drumming loudly in her chest, and she tried hard to get free from
Reena's POV"Stop it, Caleb, how many times do I have to tell you? I can't do what you're asking me to do!" The anger in his eyes was real, but I still wouldn't say yes to his request. He was asking me to do one of the meanest things, what am I going to do now? He was my senior brother, but I was now big enough to do things for myself."You have to get rid of that monster's baby!" It broke my heart to see him call my mate a monster. This had been our back, and forth for almost a month. He had been telling me to get rid of the child that grew inside of me."I won't!" I yelled, trying to rush away from his home when he grabbed my shoulders. He turned me around, and inscrase his grasp on my shoulder.Wincing in pain, I asked him to let me go, but then he began to give me reasons as always."He abandoned you, he didn't believe you, and he locked you in a cell. What other proof do you need from him?" He died with raised eyebrows However, my will to keep the baby only grew stronger. Thi
