~Jake~Betrayal and anger flowed through my blood. I didn't know what to think anymore. I don't know if I should believe Aiden or Ella or who was lying among themThe condition that I found Aiden in was very compromising. He kept on saying that it was all a misunderstanding.If anyone else had seen Aiden, there would have been a much bigger ruckus than this.He had been trying to kill the Luna for crying out loud! I don't know if the person that hit him on his head damaged part of his brain. I asked the doctor countless times if Aiden would have complications, but he told me that nothing was wrong with him. So what was the problem ? It wasn't like Aiden to behave so violently.The look in his eyes as he choked Ella was really unlike him. It was vicious, as if he was possessed by something. If I wasn't an Alpha and I have not seen a lot of things, I would be really scared of him. I wanted to hear his own side of the story. I already heard Ella's part, even though I know she had exag
~Ella~"Are you certain that no one followed you here? I cannot have any slip-ups. I heard you are really good at your job and that is the reason I am in desperate need of your services." I stood by the waterfall, the perfect spot for secret meetings, as I spoke to my meet-up.No one ever comes here anymore, not after a young boy slipped, hit his head so hard on one of the rocks, and died right on the spot.Everyone thought that it was a bad omen and avoided the place like the plague, but I have always been a dare-devil. I have a thing for breaking the rules a lot. Not that anyone would ever know about that."No one follows me unless the person is asking for a death wish,” she responded, smiling mischievously. “I must say it is quite surprising that the Luna is in dire need of my services. Don't your people have enough warriors to do the dirty work for you? I eyed her, calming myself down and telling myself not to react negatively to his words because it took me a lot of time before
~Xavier~Holding the envelope in between my fingers, I stared at it, glaring at the seal. This was not how I expected my morning to start. Not with this stupid invitation on my desk. I should have asked who brought it in and then have them punished. It seems as if the warriors who are always at the borders are getting too lax. If not, how would little rats easily drop invitations for me as if they were picking up pebbles?I was tempted to burn it, but I had to wait for Jayden. I wanted to get his input. He always knew what to say and what to do. That was one of the reasons why I still retain him as my Beta and friend despite us having our differences and me behaving like a jealous freak. I was glad I had both him and Kira in my life. I don't know what I would have done if I was all alone with no parents and no mate. Maybe I would have killed myself because I don't think I can handle the loneliness. That was why it was harder to let Kira go. Even though her child wasn't mine, I had
~Aiden~"You are making a mistake. If we were caught by Alpha Jake, he wouldn't even wait for an explanation. He would just jump to conclusions. This is a very risky business you are trying to engage in. I have already told you no and nothing is going to change my decision. This has been a total waste of time." I released the arrow that I'd drawn, watching it miss the bull's eye. I sighed in frustration.Today wasn't my lucky day."Just hear me out first, Beta Aiden. This is for the good of everyone. My Father sent me here to persuade you. Just think about it before you kick against the whole idea. You will not be seen as the villain but as the hero." I cocked my eyebrows, the most bemused expression on my face. "Can you hear yourself right now? Alpha Jake is our friend and what do you want me to do? You expect me to betray my friend? Have you gone insane, Jason? You want me to kill Alpha Jake?" Jason, the son of one of the elders of the Pack Council, was someone whom I took as a
~Aiden~When Jason saw that I was serious about ending his life, even though an arrow through the heart would probably not kill him, he put his hand up."You don't have to do this, Beta Aiden. I was completely out of line. I never should have called you a coward. l crossed the line. Please spare me." He tried getting up but I kicked him down."Even if you survive, with the arrow that is sticking out your ribs right now, you wouldn't be able to survive this one. Do you know why? Not only will I allow it to pierce your heart, but it is a silver-tipped arrow. I carved it specially for myself. Can you imagine the look of shock on your father's face when he finds his son dead?"Do you think you are better than me just because your father is among the elders of the council? You are nothing but a spoiled brat, Jason. The only reason why we were friends was because of Alpha Jake. He is well acquainted with your father. If only he knew that the sleek old bastard was trying to stab him in the
~Ella~Jake has been anxious ever since he printed the invitation for the party. He was celebrating the new moon and he wanted every Pack to be present.I don't know if he was trying to show off his wealth, or power, but he has been hassling all the domestic staff to make sure that everything was perfect. The party was not even yet here and he was acting as if it was the most important thing in his life. I didn't know the reason at first until I found out that he had invited Crescent Pack, and inviting them meant that Alpha Xavier and Kira would be present with her bastard child.We had an argument about that, but he said that he was not going to change it and that they were going to be present there.I felt so angry. Why won't he listen to me? I know the only reason he invited them was not because they were the strongest Pack, or because Alpha Xavier was the strongest Alpha in the werewolf region, but because of Kira.I don't know what Jake is planning, but I have a very bad feeling
~Kira~"I was expecting to see someone much more intriguing, but I am disappointed yet again. When I heard about Alpha Xavier's pregnant mate, I was looking forward to a sophisticated woman, not a child trapped in an adult's body. How old are you again?" I looked at Alianna, but she shook her head, indicating that she didn't know the person standing in front of us with a sneer on her face."I am sorry, but you have no right to talk to me that way, not with all that makeup on your face. Did you just escape from clown prison? Is that why you are looking that way? Who the hell are you by the way? You just waltzed into my house, and started spewing rubbish." She pushed back her blonde hair with stripes of black in it. Her hazel-colored eyes held so much maliciousness in them. She was pretty, no doubt. She was much taller than me, and she definitely looked a little bit older. Though she had a good-looking face, it didn't match her personality.Just a few seconds that she had talked to m
~Jayden~This has got to be one of the most awkward lunches that I've ever had in my life. The tension was so thick that it could be sliced with a knife. What was I even thinking in the first place? When Xavier came back earlier and saw Loren, he wasn't happy. If looks could kill, I would be dead right now. I knew he was only controlling himself because of Kira. He didn't want to appear as a monster before her.The way he kept on slicing up his steak sent shivers down my spine.Knowing when Xavier was angry was not that hard. I thought he would frown at the idea that Alianna joined us for lunch, but he didn't make a comment; instead, he looked pleased to see her.I wish I could say the same for Alianna. She had been glaring at me ever since we all sat down for lunch, and honestly, it was making me uncomfortable.I tried to pay attention to the conversation between Loren and Xavier, but my attention always seemed to be drawn back to Loren.Despite wearing not-so-sophisticated clothe
