CHAPTER 19Megan’s POV.After Khalid stormed out of the room, frustration etched on his face, I took a deep breath and decided to explore the pack on my own. The tension in the air was palpable, and I needed a moment to clear my head. As I wandered through the dimly lit corridors, my mind raced with thoughts of the spy and also what has been happening to me. Lost in my contemplation, my eyes caught sight of a figure that looked vaguely familiar. In a moment of recognition, I suddenly remembered that it was one of my father's trusted men. He was among the pack members, and I froze in a spot. My heart skipped a beat, and a mix of surprise and curiosity washed over me. What was he doing here? Was he on a secret mission?Did my father have a hand in this delicate situation that has been going on in my life lately? Different questions swirled in my mind as I felt the urgent need to confront him, but decided against it quickly. I decided to wait and watch…watch him intently. I was
Chapter 20Khalid’s POV The revelation hit me with the force of a thunderbolt. A spy, In my pack!The bitter taste of betrayal seared my tongue, and I clenched my fists hard enough to turn my knuckles white. I thought about it, and my eyes widened. For a spy to enter my pack, it obviously means they were more than one…It managed to send a real surge of fury through me at the realization that it wasn't just one.And then a chilling revelation hits me – it's not just one. There's more than one infiltrator tainting the sanctity of my pack.They were hiding like cowardly rats, infecting my pack. Without wasting a moment, I barked out orders to secure every nook and cranny of our territory. No one is to enter, no one is to leave!The orders were strict and clear, and any movement could mean another escape of these traitors.The borders will be temporarily locked down and turned into an impenetrable fortress until we cleanse our pack of these parasites. Turning to Megan, I put forth
Chapter 21Alexis POV. I felt an overwhelming wave of anxiety as I observed Khalid's anger, a level of anger I have never witnessed in him before. My heart raced, and my mind raced along with it, desperately searching for a way to calm him down. “Your highness, please...”But it seemed like, no matter what I said or did, it seemed futile. But seeing him that way, plus the cold look on his face, managed to instill a bit of fear in me. I wanted to teach Megan a lesson, so she would know that Khalid is mine and back off. So as I walked slowly towards him, I prayed that I would be successful in calming him down, and because she was there…I hoped it went smoothly. “My lord,” I said slowly, and he swiftly turned to glare at me. Megan also stared at me with a raised eyebrow….“That was what I wanted,” I smiled to myself and spanked my head lightly, when I noticed that I made the smile too obvious. His gaze tore deeply into my skin, and I almost scampered away if not for the sudden
Chapter 22Aaron’s POV. As I received the news, my eyes narrowed and my jaw clenched as I stared at the person who had delivered the news to me. “Khalid had noticed the presence of too many spies infiltrating their pack.” The news went thus, and I clenched my fists angrily. This revelation ignited a fire within me, intensifying my desire to invade the pack swiftly and reclaim it. “How was that possible?” I asked angrily staring at the messenger who had delivered the message to me. He shook him fright as he shook his head, trying to indicate that he didn’t know anything about it. “Something is wrong here!” I said through gritted teeth. “How did you get the news?” I asked with a creased brows. “It was one of the spy who had tried to escape...he was the one who sent message here, warning us about Khalid’s new resolution and the fact that he has locked the pack’s gate to stop anyone from going in or out,” He said and my eyes widened in shock. “Oh wow,” I simply muttered. I didn’t
Aaron's povThe moment seemed joyous to me. My face was still housing a smile while my fingertips were given slow taps on the table before me.No matter how the case might be, taking a reckless move wouldn't be an option. I might be smiling currently, but my head was running miles, thinking of different speculations to fit in my strategy.Then my eyes flew to the front, meeting the man before me, and my expression turned serious.“What other information do you have? I can't help but smell you have some” I question with piercing eyes that could see one's soul. It wasn't as though I didn't trust him, but I wanted every value piece placed on the table for me to review.He gulped down hard. My gaze seemed heated on him, but I didn't soften it. I always have this suffocating aura on me, and just now I coated myself in it. He knew he had no choice but to say it out, loud and clear, without mistakes.“Sir… it's about your daughter” he stammered, and I became winded.My body shrunk down to the
Khalid's POVHurrying to the scene with Megan I looked around the pack but couldn’t find any more spies. The entire place was empty. I felt a jolt of anger run through my veins suddenly. We had been this close to apprehending those assholes. But they escaped.The fuckin security guards!We pay them whooping sums just to do their jobs right, yet, spies are able to gain access into the pack on their watch, and as if that wasn't crime enough, the fools let them escape.I felt my blood boil, and the intensity of my anger multiplied. If they expect me to let this matter be swept under the carpet then they are wrong, cause I won't be taking this lightly at all.Furiously, I marched to the building where the guards occupied. A nicely furnished three bedroom apartment, it barely even looked like it was a security post. All these for a bunch of incompetent nincompoops who can not even do their jobs right.The moment they saw us, Megan and I, they all bowed their dumb heads in greetings."Alpha
Megan's POVKhalid and I hurried to the scene, and I noticed him desperately searching the area, his eyes fuming with anger at a ferocity I have never seen before. The area was clear which was a surprise. We had seen the men run in this direction, that, I am certain of, but the area was clear, there was no one here, I could feel that, and I know Khalid could feel it too.They weren't here which means that they had managed to escape somehow.Khalid must be disappointed, and angry, his eyes emitted those two emotions. I feel the aura around him turn to one of rage and he starts marching out of the woods, through the entrance and out to the apartment where the security guards occupy.I hurry after him, hoping that he doesn't go furious and do something he'd regret.On reaching the post, the guards bowed in greeting him, but he ignored their greetings and went into scolding them. Watching him spit fire, I felt my heart break for him. I understand his reason for being angry, he has every
Chapter 26 Megan's POV "Hey, it's okay." I said. His eyes were still wide in rage. His shoulders taut and I could see the veins pulsating from his shoulders. He was beyond pissed and if left alone would cause a carnage. A weapon of mass destruction. He picked up a bottle and flung it against a wall. I shut my eyes at the impact of the collision. He was probably imagining someone else." Do not tell me to calm down." He said, and I shut my mouth. Never did I think that he would get to this threshold of anger. If not for the twitch in his ears, I would have thought he wasn't listening." You need to calm down." I repeated calmly. He shot me another furious look and I recoiled a bit. Stomping towards me, I took a step back. "All these while, I've been living among my enemies? I need to end this once and for all." He said, as I watched on.He was scaring me with his anger. His eyes were glazed like he wasn't seeing anything. His rage-filled eyes bore into mine. I could read his thoug

Despite our victory and the revelation of the truth, there was still a lingering shadow of conflict that cast a pall over our newfound peace.In the days that followed, our pack worked tirelessly to rebuild and strengthen our bonds. Megan, now officially recognized as our Luna, played a pivotal role in uniting our members and healing the wounds of the past.We reached out to neighboring packs, seeking alliances and cooperation to ensure lasting peace in our territory. It was a slow and delicate process, but the shared goal of a harmonious coexistence drove our efforts.As for Leo, he remained a formidable adversary, lurking in the shadows with a burning desire for revenge.

Khalid POV I returned to our pack’s territory with Megan by my side, and the moment our dude of the pack members caught sight of us, a wave of jubilation swept through the crowd. They cheered, clapped, and howled in delight, their faces filled with relief and joy. As we approached, my men and warriors surrounded us, offering their congratulations and embraces. Megan was welcomed with open arms, and it was clear that her return had brought a renewed sense of hope to our pack. Amid the celebrations, I noticed some of my closest allies looking anxious. It was clear that they had something important to share with me. I pulled them aside, Megan by my side, and asked, “What has happened while I was away? Why do you all seem so concerned?” One of my trusted warriors, Marcus, stepped forward. “Khalid,” he began, his voice grave, “while you were searching for Megan, Aaron has made a significant move. He has revealed that he has a son named Leo, and Leo is helping him plan for the upcoming b
Khalid POV The land of the dead had taken Megan from me, and the ache of her absence felt like a wound that would never heal. The spirits of the elders, whose guidance had sustained me, now seemed distant and insubstantial in the face of this profound loss. But as I stood there, a spark of determination flickered within me. The forest may have claimed Megan for now, but I could not let it have the final say. I had come too far, faced too much, to simply accept defeat. With a heavy heart, I made a silent vow to continue the journey, to find a way to bring Megan back from the land of the dead. The love and memories we shared would be my guiding light, the force that propelled me forward through the darkness. The forest’s eerie whispers and haunting spirits would not deter me. I would face whatever trials lay ahead, for Megan’s sake and for the legacy of our love. The path ahead was uncertain, but I would walk it with unwavering determination, fueled by the promise of a future where w
Aaron POV I took a deep breath, my anger still simmering beneath the surface, but now tempered by a growing sense of understanding. The spirit’s words had struck a chord within me, a reminder that my journey was not solely about seeking answers but also about confronting the tumultuous emotions that had shaped my path. With a nod of acceptance, I turned and retraced my steps, making my way back to the barrier that had initially thwarted my progress. The prismatic walls of the chamber seemed to watch over me, a silent witness to the inner turmoil I had faced. As I stood before the shimmering barrier once more, I closed my eyes and focused on the roiling anger within me. It was a storm of emotions, a tempest that threatened to consume my reason. Yet, with each breath, I sought to gain control, to understand the source of my rage. Images and memories flickered in my mind, moments of pain, betrayal, and frustration. I allowed myself to fully experience these emotions, acknowledging the
Leo POV My mother, Bridget, began to speak, her voice carrying a weight of ancient wisdom. “Long ago, in a time when our kindred packs, the Moon Pack and the Sun Pack, coexisted in harmony, there was a love that defied the boundaries of our divided world. That love was between me, Bridget, and Aaron, your father.” As my mother spoke, the ethereal surroundings seemed to shift and transform, displaying scenes from the past. I watched in awe as the story unfolded before my eyes.

He came in after some minutes.“Greetings, alpha.” He saluted.“At ease, soldier.” I said“Any lead on the search for Kaine and Darren?” I asked.“We have searched the eastern and western perimeter fully but still no sign of either of them.” He said.“We have caught traces of them in two different locations but by the time we arrived ,it seemed they had long departed from there.” He added.I had just returned from Ruby’s place. I had confronted her about the note she left me. She claimed she knew about Annie. But Annie is dead, I thought. What is all this rumor going round that she is alive. If she were alive, I would feel her somehow. But her presence is still same. Dead to me since I was told she died. Could it be possible that she is alive? I was having mixed feelings about it. A part of me will be happy that she is still alive but another part of me is worried about the effect it will have
LEO POVAs I held the letter tightly, my fingers trembling against the parchment, I couldn’t help but think about Amelia’s unwavering patience. She had sat there, silently watching me read the letter, her presence a comforting anchor amidst the storm of emotions that swirled within me. Each time my brows furrowed in disbelief or confusion, she would lean in closer, her concern etched across her face. It was as if she could feel the weight of the revelations in the letter even before reading it herself.“Amelia,” I continued, my voice still quivering, “you need to read this. It’s about Bridget’s past, and it’s... it’s unbelievable.”Her eyes never left mine as she took the letter from my trembling hands, her fingers gentle yet firm. I watched as her expression mirrored my own astonishment as she began to scan the contents.
