Philip's POV

I realized that I hadn't talked to her about the other thing that brought me here. Her thumb was still busy caressing my hand as the silence poured between us.

It was a perfect atmosphere, and everything seemed tranquil.

"Eunice had been the one who took the babies."

I recalled that she didn't get the whole gist from me about what happened and how I came to find out everything. Although Tessa could've told her, but knowing Lyra, she would want to hear it from me than to hear it from someone else.

And just like I thought, her eyes lifted up to my face as she paid so much attention to me as I began to tell her all that had happened.

"So basically, Matt had found the footprints on the ground after I had him set up some men on the secret and illegal path out of this town. He found the tracks, and then he called me that night; we followed them and met a man. He was known for illegally bringing people into this town."

"Illegally?" She asked, "can't they just move in?"

    Philip's POVHow was that not surprising?Even though it had never crossed my mind, it didn't manage to actually throw me off or even stun me. It wasn't improbable that Emily would have such influence over Hana. It was surely her influence that made Hana decide to take a few moments to herself to think about an offer that would literally change the life of her pack for the better.But no!She would rather stay with Emily and still be dealing with poverty and homelessness. Although a very feared woman, it didn't stop the ridicule.It was just too easy to get a good laugh out of her situation; anytime someone thought of the Moonlight Pack, surely a laugh would rumble out of their guts. They steal stuff, take money, fight petty wars, but they would not, they refused to help themselves get better.It could be that they actually loved the poverty or it was just so hard to pull themselves out of it given the death of Hana's husband. Though when he was alive, there wasn't much of a differenc

    Philip's POVThe few hours that Hana had requested came to an end. Matt and I were soon marching to the dining room where we get to discuss her decision over dinner.Serving them dinner was a scheme of mine. If she were to see just how good our food tasted, then she would be bought.I sighed, sitting at the head of the table. I hated having to convince someone that I was a better choice. Lyra was the last person I would be convincing, but somehow, she had made me begin to try to figure people out, to sort things out, to ask for an apology. I didn't know how or when, but certainly, I was seeing the difference.The old me would not even look at her. I had been so reserved, kept to myself, and only fought when necessary, but these days it's something else. I was moved by rage and kept doing things I knew were not supposed to be done. There was no controlling it.I just began to love violence more.The sound of heavy footsteps approached. The ones on the table - Michelle, Tessa, Matt, and

    Philip's POVHana's tears fell from her eyes, but she didn't let them last on her face before she brought the back of her hand and wiped her face clean from any trace of weakness. I noted that she must've cried a lot from hearing that her son had died before she came here.She didn't have many other children, but he was surely the one who asked the most questions and actually looked forward to his own pack of his own.Hana nodded her head despite the raging sadness that was locked inside of her. She completely abandoned her food and then opened her mouth to say something."It is true. She had not been the one who came directly to me."She looked at me, "it was your sister. She had been the one who told me that Clayton was dead and it was that girl you rejected that recruited me for her."I didn't have much to comment on that. I had previous knowledge of their relationship. I knew that somehow they had become allies or maybe they were working under Emily. I just didn't expect that Fion

    Asher's POVIt's been over a month since Lyra and Philip escaped from Devlin. There had not been any news from them except when he needed my help to get a wedding dress for their very impromptu wedding.Had they been so impatient that they desperately wanted to marry each other?And the wedding had happened only a few days after they left. And since then, there had been no contact.I had no idea what I was expecting, but surely this wasn't it. If we were really on good terms, there had been no invite for me, neither had there been any interest in my life. It could just be that both of them were busy, and also, they could be enmeshed by the towering problems they had. There were also those other packs that Philip had mentioned the night Tristan died. He had said they would either come for revenge or just to test strengths.They were stupid.Or maybe just clueless.Philip was a walking murder weapon, a nuclear murder weapon. It was shocking after I found out his abilities, how he stayed

    Asher's POVOf course, I've heard of Emily Forest. My question was how Steven had heard of her. Emily wasn't from a very well-known nor wealthy pack. The only thing she owned or had that favored her immensely, to an extent, was that she was Tristan's mate.He rejected her, though, for reasons many people didn't understand. Regardless, he still showed up in her life when she needed him. One occasion was when she needed to trample some of her enemies under her feet. According to her, they had been infiltrating her land, building some structures on her land as if it was theirs.They were neighbors, only divided by the mutual knowledge of where their lands stopped and began.However, seeing that they began to assume that their neighbor was weak, they first shifted some things over, thinking that Emily would say something, and even if she did, they thought she wouldn't be able to do anything about it. She was weak; she wasn't even a real alpha; she just inherited her pack from her sick mot

    Asher's POVI shook my head at how totally hysterical Steven was sounding. There was nothing wrong with two women becoming friends.Although his problem could be that they were two deranged women who should be locked up in a psychiatric hospital. They each had their problems. They both had issues they needed to work on.However, that wasn't the issue, from what I know, from what I've heard, they haven't really done anything that was wrong. They never did anything that broke the laws of both settlements.They could do as they liked as long as they weren't hurting people."There's nothing wrong with two women bonding."Steven shook his head, "Devlin is a crazed psycho, and Emily had relations with Tristan, there's no way it's safe for anyone concerned that they are together."I laughed; he was right. However, there was proof to back up his statement.I turned away from him having no desire whatsoever to continue the conversation. I wanted to prepare myself for what's to come. I knew the

    Asher's POVA foreboding feeling covered my senses. I stared at the person again, now with more scrutiny. He had a baseball hat on his head and a nose mask on his face, hiding his features away from me. He was tall, as tall as I am, or maybe shorter by a few inches.He was looking at me, still. Bow even stood there just looking at me.It felt as if time had passed when, in fact, it hasn't. I was simply overtaken by the sheer fear that toiled in my heart.The smell, the smell was what was familiar to me, but as I looked at him, the physique, the aura, everything felt like Tristan's. But then I recalled how Lyra had stabbed him with a fork, almost ripping his throat apart. No matter how great Tristan was, he surely couldn't have survived that, especially with no help whatsoever."Asher."I raised my head and saw Steven looking at me strangely. He seemed sort of scared, and he had his hand placed on my shoulder."You zoned out. Are you okay?" He asked with worry and concern spewing from

    Asher's POV"Well, I'll make the reservations and then get back to you," I turned back to Emily and saw her looking at me with an eyebrow raised in impatience. Without thinking or even knowing what she said, I nodded my head, ignoring the fact that I did not hear a single thing she said nor did I know what I was getting myself into.I looked around, specifically back to the bodyguard. He had taken his eyes away from me, his gaze now on Emily. He wasn't squinting anymore; rather, he seemed unreadable.There was something familiar about him. I didn't know what it was; I couldn't say exactly what that thing is, but he just felt familiar."Anyway," Steven's hand landed on my shoulder, "we have plans, so we're gonna get going.""Plans?" Devlin asked, staring between Steven and me, and I reacted perfectly to the confusion she was feeling.I didn't remember agreeing to anything Steven had proposed, but he was going around claiming we had plans.Nonetheless, I was grateful for the fact that h

I think the person who poisoned you was Steven."I shook my head as I began to feel by body vibrate with the sense of being betrayed. Incident know I'd trusting Devlin's words were the right thing to do but at the moment, it made sense.He was the one that the assasin hadbeen warning me about.

She asked, "Philip isn't with you?"I shook my head, "he isn't, and if you say he's not here then I have no fucking clue where he is".

The spaces between people kept getting more narrow and weaving through them became a huge hassle.I downed the alcohol in a go and then kept the glass on a nearest table before finding a way to swim through the sea of people, so that I could use the bathroom.I didn't even know where the bathroom was located.I looked around some more. Everybody wore masks and I was sure even the celebrant had her own mask. I suspected this because everywhere I've looked, I haven't seen her face. Akk I could see were different colors, shiny or dull and just eyes.I wasn't particularly looking for her fir I had nothing to say to her, anybody that could lead me to the bathroom right now was going to do me a huge favour."Asher?"I immediately turned around and saw a woman standing behind me.She wore a silver dress embedded with stones that glistened under the light. Her hair was shirt and brown and so were her eyes.

He just tied it around hisbface and instantly he blended with the group. So djd Lyra.I did the same."Well," Asher said, "be careful". Again he was here with his advice.
