Isabella's P.O.VMy heart jumped to my throat all at once. It seemed Ethan was finally ready to address the skeletons he had hiding in his cupboard. It seemed he was finally ready to tell me what the vials were for. I waited eagerly with anxiousness trickling through my veins as Ethan began to open the chest. The initial silence that had descended on the room was interrupted all at once by a loud rap on the door. Ethan looked up, his eyes met mine and I saw frustration flashed briefly in his eyes before he quickly put the chest back into the drawer and where it belonged. "Come in." Ethan said. The door swung open immediately revealing Brian. His eyes met mine and he frowned before turning to Ethan. "Excuse me Ethan, I didn't mean to intrude." He apologized. "It's okay Brian, you weren't intruding." Ethan replied calmly. "You seem agitated. Where's the fire?" He asked. Brian flashed a questionable look in my direction. I understood at once that he probably didn't want to speak in
Ethan's P.O.VAlmost immediately Mila finished speaking, a pack guard badged in with urgency and alarm all over his face. "Alpha... Ethan..." The man stuttered breathlessly. I didn't need him to say much, I turned immediately. "Brian with me." And then I turned to the guards. "Keep an eye on her." I motioned to Mila. Together, I and Brian ran out of the dungeons and headed straight for the car packed outside. We got in immediately and Brian took the wheel, driving as fast as the car could carry us. We arrived at the infirmary and right from outside I could see the chaos that had raged on at the place. The door was broken while dead or wounded pack guards laid on the floor. I entered the infirmary and was met with an even gross sight. Some of the healers were also wounded. With a pang I remembered that Emily was brought here too. I quickly ran through wards trying to find her and luckily I did. She was in a ward far from the one that was holding the assassin and by the look of it,
Ethan's P.O.VAll eyes snapped to my direction immediately as I stepped out from my hiding place. The assassin who I had pursued up to this point stepped back in surprise. "It's him! It's Ethan!" He said in alarm. "And you foolishly led him to us." The masked man said grumply to the one handed man before turning his gaze to me. "I heard you're quite the fighter." He said. "I've heard those rumors too." I replied with a smirk. "Even if you're as good as they say, what makes you think you can take on all 12 of us?" The man asked confidently. "You've never seen me fight, son. But I watched your lot's little dance style back at the pack and I also noted that you all fought the same way. Trust me son, I'm a fast learner." I said. My ears caught steady and subtle movement behind me and judging by the smell I perceived, I could tell it wasn't foe. Oh wait, was that the pack guards? If so, what were they doing out here? I wandered. It seemed that the assassins who stood before me did
Elena's P.O.VI paced back and forth in the living room of the spacious house that had belonged to me and Logan. It's been days now since Axel had taken Logan out of the picture and since then, I haven't been able to reach him, no thanks to Ethan. I felt trapped at the pack, the pack where I was supposed to rule and to dominate as Luna. Ethan had messed all that up with his presence at the pack and the pack elders it would seem, were all eager and ready to lick Ethan's boots, the most irritating one of them was Silas Deane, that old and foolish man! But what if I were to contact the other members? The thought crossed my mind and I stopped to think it over. Yes, that was the most reasonable thing to do at the time. I would not just sit back and let Ethan hold me in one place with my tail tucked between my legs like a loyal and pious dog. Zain was the first person to cross my mind but I wasn't really sure about Zain. He seemed to be on the fence about loyalties to the pack and loyalt
Elena's P.O.VI had succeeded in recruiting Billy that day, I let him have a glimpse of what I had in mind and surprisingly, the man was in and willing to recruit more persons to our cause. With the right number of people, even the pack guards will see sense and bow to what we proposed. In all these, one thing still troubled my thoughts. Where was Axel and what had he done with Logan? I hoped silently for Axel to have the sense enough to kill Logan and dispose the body properly and at the same time I had a feeling that there was no where Axel would stash the corpse and Logan won't eventually find. I needed to seek Axel out and the followers I was gathering would be my starting point. This was where I would start. I would first of all establish my own squad with people who I could trust and then I'll be free to do whatever the hell I wanted without fearing Ethan. I slowly and carefully went around the pack sowing seeds of defiance in the heart of few men and women, I instructed Bill
Ethan's P.O.VMy eyes scanned the room as I made my way in. So this was what Elena was up to, the devious woman! Always lying and plotting and scheming, this was something that came naturally to her. Elena was shocked to see me, it was written all over her face. I was clearly the last person she expected at her secret meeting. “I'm not interrupting anything I'm I?” I asked sarcastically. Elena swallowed hard but for once she had nothing to say. No snappy remarks, no bossy comments, just nothing. Instead, her eyes went immediately to Zain. “What? Do you want support?“ I asked. “You're suddenly feeling tongue tied and you'd want someone else to speak for you? You see that's the difference between you and the Beta here. Where you'd make decisions for yourself, Bane here.....““It's actually Zain.“ The Beta murmured lowly. “....Zain here makes his decisions for the pack.“ I finished my sentence like I wasn't interrupted. “Bane knows what's good for the pack and that is why he sent w
Ethan's P.O.VThe air in the meeting room became tense at once as all eyes trained on me. All signs of sleep vanished from everyone's eyes at my words. They were bound to be surprised at my decision, I had a reputation already for not attending community meetings and I knew it'd be strange and alarming for them to hear me suddenly calling for a meeting.“I'm sorry, but would you repeat that again please? I'm not sure I got you correctly.“ Silas said, his brows furrowed in confusion.“I want the high elders to meet again.“ I replied calmly. “I want another meeting as soon as possible.““And for what reason do you propose a meeting?“ One of the council members asked slowly.“I won't give you the full information now but I assure you that it is all connected to your Alpha's disappearance.“ I replied.Silas who was quietly observing me keenly with his fingers rapping the table sat up and adjusted in his seat with his eyes never leaving mine. “I know there is something.“ He said. “But i
Isabella's P.O.VEthan's face flashed that look of surprise immediately when he heard me wish him happy birthday and I realized that for real he had forgotten about his own birthday! This was not surprising anyway regarding the stress and burden of leadership that rested on his shoulders. I knew that things were quite disoriented at the pack but I wanted to do this anyway, to provide at least a moment's escape for him.“Oh.... Right. It is my birthday.“ He said slowly, realization dawning on him. “But how did you know?“ He asked.“I glanced through your journal when I went down to your study.“ I replied, uncertain of the reaction I might receive it after this revelation.Ethan's eyebrows shot up immediately as he looked at me questionably and I prayed silently for his anger not to rise. “Hmmm.. okay.“ Ethan stated simply. We had already talked about my visit to his study and I was glad he wasn't willing to dig it up again.Even though Ethan was not angry with me digging into his pe
