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
Chapter 27 Alexis' POV " Why don't you swing it that way?" Khalid said, and Megan laughed hard at his impersonation of a tennis coach.Megan was the student who was not serving the ball well. " I didn't know." she complained, getting into character. " Next time, swing the bat like this." He demonstrated, and Megan nodded in seriousness.She paused, and spluttered, " This is hilarious." Megan said, laughing hard as she wiped the tears that spilled out of her eyes." You are not supposed to laugh. You are unserious." He reprimanded.She doubled in laughter again, slapping her knees at his expression. They were having fun, " I did better than others would." He said, watching them annoyed me, what the hell was this god forsaken show of affection?"Of course." Megan replied sarcastically, and Khalid smiled at her. " You are a really good coach. I promise to be better." She continued laughing, and I hissed. This girl has managed to etch her love in his heart that he was no longer at
Chapter 28 Aaron's POV "She sent a letter, sir." The guard told me, and I raised a brow. Who? " Alexis." He replied, as if he read my mind. One of the reasons I kept him close to me. What made her change her mind? She was pretty adamant the other time. I thought I would have to do a lot to get her on my side."Let me have it." said and he handed it over to me._I have decided to agree to your offer. However, we need to get some agreements signed, I'll see you soon._ it read, and I smirked. Perfect! Now it was going to be easier to get this out of the way, after that I get rid of all of them. " When did she say she was going to come again?" I asked, he shrugged. We were expecting a visitor. " Arrange the room for our visitor." " Hello?" A voice called outside my study and I recognized the owner immediately. I saw her through the window, when my guards were speaking to her.In order not to show too much excitement at the fulfillment of my plans, i maintained my stoic expression.
Chapter 29Megan’s POV. The knock came again, interrupting our conversation. I turned my head swiftly to see the physician entering the room, a grave expression etched on his face. Instantly, a sense of foreboding washed over me, and I braced myself for the news he was about to deliver.A sense of apprehension settled in the air, thickening it with an unspoken tension. Something was definitely amiss.That I was sure of!As the physician approached, his footsteps seemed heavy, as if carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Chapter 30Alexis POV. I was in my room, lost in thoughts that I wasn’t conscious of my surroundings again. “Did I do something bad?” I couldn’t help but ask myself, as I facepalmed myself. On a second thought, I shook my head firmly when I was fully aware that I had done nothing wrong. “Should I not have accepted to his deal?” I asked myself, but shook my head defiantly. “I did nothing wrong,” I tried to convince myself, and I heaved deeply. It was Megan’s fault!Everything happening is her fault!I groaned deeply as I stared at her, and breathed deeply. “I did what I did to get what was mine back,” I thought and heaved deeply. “So it’s obviously her fault,” I muttered and breathed deeply. “She should never have tried to take what does not belong to her,” I thought with a smirk on. I facepalmed myself as I groaned loudly. Leaning back on my seat, I shook my head tiredly.If I said I wasn’t feeling guilty, then I would be considered as a big liar. “Should I have never sacr

The weight of my actions pressed heavily on my heart, urging me to seek for forgiveness. I knew I had to make things right, to apologize for my unwarranted anger and aggression towards her.With a determined stride, I made my way to Alexis's room. My thoughts were a whirlwind of emotions, a mix of regret, guilt, and a glimmer of hope for reconciliation. As I reached her door, my hand hovered uncertainly before finally pushing it open without bothering to knock.The sight that greeted me was unexpected. Alexis appeared preoccupied, engrossed in some task or another. It seemed as though she hadn't even noticed my abrupt entrance, which I was sure she did. Nevertheless, I forged ahead, my words tumbling out in a rush. I wanted to express my sincere regret for my behavior, to acknowledge the pain I had caused her

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
