Arielle’s POV The rest of the morning passed slowly after Richard left my side. He had walked me to my office door, before he finally left.He had even held my hand all the way down to my office. The patients who had arrived had definitely gotten a look at the both of us, and for sure I had an idea that they would be gossiping about me and their Alpha for the rest of the day.I sighed to myself as the last patient for the morning left the office that day. It was already half past 2pm, and I didn’t expect to see any other patient for the day unless it was an emergency. Therefore I had the rest of my time to relax, and I was going to use it well.I bitmy lip as I began to flip through the patients files that I needed to sign off on. It would take me a long time to deal with this. Perhaps I should take a break, I thought to myself.Just then, a knock came at my office door and I whipped my head up.“Come in,” I called out, my brows knotted as I wondered who it could be at the other side
Arielle’s POV:“Yeah?” My female best friend asked me.“I wanted to get your opinion on something,” I started to say, before pausing and tryi my best to gather my thoughts.She sat up straight her now, and her eyes looked intent. I could tell she was ready to listen to me.“So, Richard told me the news of Leon and his Rogues being around the border of our pack this morning.” I began. “But I didn’t… exactly react so well to the news in the first place.”“What do you mean, ‘didn’t exactly react well’?” She asked me, curiosity and concern in her eyes.“Lily, I…” I fiddled with the hem of my olive-green dress. This was somewhat an embarrassing thing to have to say now. “I broke down in front of Richard. I was crying my eyes out. I don’t know why. I don’t know how it happened. I don’t even know what part of th e news had gotten me that way. I… I just… I broke,” I finished, looking down at my laps instead of at her now.I heard Lilian shift beside me, and then she let out a hum.“What was R
Arielle’s POV:I sighed happily as I finished the last bit of my ice cream.“That was great,” I said out loud. It was in fact more that great; it was perfect.“I don’t know,” Lily replied moments later, taking her last spoonful of ice cream as well and dropping the spoon in the plastic tub that was now empty of its contents with a thud. “I’m more partial to strawberry myself.”I giggled; she had said that three times in the last hour already.I enjoyed the ambience in the room; it was already close to sunset,And I could see how the sun’s rays lit everywhere up in golden light.Lilian and I had gone out to find some ice cream on the town, and in the end, we did go shopping as well. That was evident by the numerous amount of bags with names of boutiques pasted on them.I could still taste the remains of the vanilla ice cream on my tongue, and I loved it far more than I liked strawberry. Instead of saying that to Lilian however, what I did next was to gesture around us.We were sitting
Richard’s POV:Why was she still up at this time, I wondered to myself as I heard Arielle’s voice calling out persistently through the mind link.I groaned inwardly, before calli out.‘Angel,’ I called out to her. I heard silence after a while.‘Richard? Is that you?’ she asked me through the mind link.True to thought, she also sounded addled with sleep. However there was something else added to it; a sort of frustration I had not expected to hear from that sweet voice of hers at this time of night.Turning my head to glance at the alarm clock on my bedside table right beside me, I noted that the time was 11pm.‘Yes it’s me,’ I replied before asking, ‘Is everything okay? Who are you calling out to, angel?’‘I’m… I don’t know,’ she finally admitted and I could hear a tinge of curiosity in her voice. ‘I heard someone calling my name. But it must have been a dream,’ she sounded dismissive of everything.I chuckled.‘You’re tired, Arielle,’ I chided her. ‘You must have spent the day well
Richard’s POV:I woke up pretty early at the crack of dawn the next day, with a spring in my step. I dressed up in my grey sweatpants and a black shirt for my morning run, and after I laced up my trainers, I left my home swiftly and began on the run.Taking the shortcut I always used through the forest, I began to move faster and faster with each second that passed. I continued running, only to stop abruptly when a pleasant and very familiar scent caught my attention.I turned my head and noticed Arielle coming up towards my direction in the forest. She was up this early morning for a morning run as well, and I noticed with no small amount of pleasure, the way she had clearly improvise in her running. She was no longer panting and trying very hard to catch her breath like before. Instead, she seemed to be moving in stride.She was also seemingly not seeing me where I was.I smiled, using my hand to grab her arm, stopping her form moving any further as she was about to run past me, and
Richard’s POV As soon as I set foot in the large meeting hall, I knew that something was going to definitely happen. I would be facing a lot of questioning today. And today, the entire ambience was full of tension.To put it simply, it smelt like trouble.And I was walking right into it.The faces of the Elders was certainly not wncouraging as I stood in the center of the hall before them. However I was not an Alpha for nothing, and my formidable mental prowess was just as good as my own physical strength as well.“Pack Elders,” I greeted them, nodding all around at them. They didn’t respond.This was a well-known tactic by myself and Darren. Being the stubborn but charismatic Alpha and Beta of the Redding Pack that we were known as everywhere, the Elders sometimes seemed to have an axe to grind at the fact that we could always put up a strong and united front for them. They were wise, but I and Darren were the ones leading the pack.Sometimes when we took a decision that the Pack El
Arielle’s POV After I came back from the most enjoyable morning run I had ever been on, I didn’t waste any time in going to my room. As skinny as I closed the door, behind me, I began to remove my workout clothes which had now stuck to my body just a little bit.Today already had been a good day, if not for the fact that I had already seen Richard once today. So I knew that the rest of the day also had to be good as well.I entered my bathroom to begin my morning ablutions. It was already last 7am, and I was going to be late if I didn’t hurry up a little.Putting in the shower, I entered under it and relished in the feeling of the lukewarm water hitting my skin. My body ached nicely from the run. I had pushed myself a little bit more as I was running with Richard, and I now felt a sense of accomplishment within me.Picking up my loofah to wash my body after a short while, I began to go through the motions of washing myself. However my mind was still somewhere else, and that somewhere
Arielle’s POV:l took in a deep breath as I heard those words come out of his mouth.The pack Elders?What had happened?My brows furrowed as I thought over his words.This had to be about the attack, and the face that Rogues were at our border, amped and waiting for an opportune moment to strike.“This is about the Rogues, isn’t it?” I asked him, but he shook his head, leaving me in more confusion. If it was not about the Rogues, then what else could it be?Then he began to explain.“The Pack Elders asked about my mate. They are interested in finding out your identity.”Oh.My mouth opened and then closed as no words could come out. I was speechless and So, the Pack Elders want the identity of his mate to be revealed.Was I ready for such a thing?“What did you tell them?” I asked him earnestly.“That is was not the right time to do so, and we would decide when was the right time to introduce yourself officially to the pack as my mate.” Then he gave me a pointed look. “Still, I want
KELEIGH’S POV My father’s claws gleamed in the light of the overhead lamp of the room as he raised his hand in the air, preparing to swipe. My breath caught in my throat as I pressed against the wall he had roughly pushed me into in a rage after he had caught I and Jake in the act of canoodling. He roared in fury as he bore down on Jake. I could understand why he was so enraged. Jake was the Alpha of the Moonlight pack, and my father was the Alpha of our pack, the Wesselton Pack. Both our packs have been in a bloody feud for so long that no one even remembered how it started in the first place. Countless wolves from both packs had died for generations over this feud. And Jake was about to be the next person. “My daughter!” My father growled at him. "How dare you!" My heart galloped with panic as I stared at the scene in front of me. My father in a state of half-shift, his clothes already partly torn from it. Jake, pinned below him, his eyes filled with so much fear and shock as he

Thank you so much for always being there for me. It might be slow, not fast paced like any other books but I assure you, it's very good. CHAPTER ONE A knock on the door disrupted her sleep, causing her brows to crease as she rolled to the other side of the bed. She scrunched her eyes up, trying to get back to her sleep when another series of knocking came after. “Hmm.” She groaned out, her hand fumbling on the bed as she reached for the blanket, throwing it over herself and acting cozy inside of it. “You have to open the door princess,” she heard her maid say from the door, causing the frown on her face to deepen.
Richard’s POV:This is how it ends.I transformed back to my human form, my chest bare.I looked around me, watching the Rogues being tied down around me. The death of Leon had caused an immediate and drastic drop in morale. The Rogues didn’t fight anymore, allowing themselves to be chained.Among them, were the Evans family too. They had been brought out by the warriors as per my orders.The night was still as I stood in the center of such chaos.I never knew silence could be quite this deafening.“The battle is over,” I said, looking around me with steely eyes to my tired warriors, but still victorious. I felt satisfaction in seeing all the familiar faces around me. Not many of them fell, to my joy. “We will dispose of the traitors today and rebuild our pack. This victory isn’t anything but a symbol of our strength, and our unity. For in our unity,” I rolled my shoulders back and raised my voice even louder. “We will never fall.”The cheers of my warriors were enough to dare me, and
“No! No! Father, you can’t do this to me! You can’t do this!” A tiny voice cried out, her voice echoing through the four corners of the room.“Stand up!” A loud voice boomed through her ears and ran through her body, causing her to hold her tears.He stood up from his throne, all tall and authoritative. The royal staff in his hand touched the ground and silenced everyone in the room. He studied his steps casually, walking towards her and sending streams of shivers down her spine.“Stand up!” He ordered.She didn’t need to be told twice. She scrambled up immediately, balancing her feet and lowering her head to the ground. He raised his hand to her, and she recoiled at the thought of him hitting her head, “Stacey, you’re nothing but a weak wolf. And your presence in this pack is not needed. I regret the day I gave birth to you. And today is one of my happiest days in this pack, to finally see that you have a use for me.” He said without mercy.She clenched her fist so hard her nails pie

Arielle’s POV:I felt so helpless, slowly walking towards the nearest safe house and holding a slowly bleeding Darren.The unconscious Beta groaned out loud and i bit my lip, looking down at him and adjusting my sweaty grip on him.“Don’t worry, Darren,” I said, feeling somewhat crazy to be speaking to an unconscious man. “I’ll get you help. You’re going to be fine,” my voice broke.Tears came to my eyes as I continued to step forward. Just one step forward I told myself.Oh great goddess, please help me. A tear slipped down my cheek as I thought of what Lilian would say to me if she saw her mate like this. I couldn’t do this to her. Please Darren be alright, i pleaded in my mind.“Arielle?” It was Ethan@/ voice that made me look up. Our eyes met and I felt small as he ran over to me, his own eyes wide with shock. “What happened to him?”“What do you think?” My voice sounded bitter and rough as I responded. Guilt and remorse filled my body all of a sudden as I saw Ethan look down. “I’
Richard’s POV:I was running with fury at the forefront of my mind.I was such an idiot. I had made so much mistakes in the past few days.Now I had made the worst mistake.I had left my pack alone, at such an important time. Now they were being attacked.“Two of you go to the west gate and see what’s happening,” I ordered two of the swiftest warriors in my team.They nodded in unison and were off. We kept on going on our journey, and I began to feel dizzy for a second.At once I felt a burning sensation in my throat, as well as a sting on my arm. Then, a slash at my throat. My hands flew to check my Throat and found it unblemished.I was feeling the pain from my pack members.‘and it was a lot. I know fact, it was too much.I groaned out loud, trying to not let my sounds of pain get heard by anyone. I needed to get to the pack immediately.I could only hope that Darren had managed to stave off the worst of the attack I now knew that Leon was behind.Saying a small prayer to the moon g
Arielle’s POV:My heart was pounding as I said those words to my mate. In my mind it was like the world had come down on me. The alarm bells blares in my ears like a war gong, and I was left feeling helpless and lost.In reality, I was still in my office, with Meera looking meekly away from the glares of either myself or Ethan.Richard’s words came through the mind link that we shared.‘What’s going on, love? And I’m on my way. It was a trap,’ he sounded regretful, and there was a tinge of disgust punctuating his words. What had happened to make him sound like that?‘A trap?’ So this had all been planned.‘Elise and Hunter are working with the Rogues. They’re working with Leon. I think he may be on his way there now,’ he sounded like he was running while he spoke.I swallowed, the anxiety coming back in droves. Oh great goddess.In a shaky tone I replied to my mate, ‘I think he’s here right now. The alarm bells have been going off for nearly thirty minutes now.’ I paused. ‘What should
Richard’s POV:We made our way through the shortcut that Falcon had proposed.Darren and I had quickly met with him when the team was put together, and we had decided that we would be taking that route. I didn’t think that it was certainly a trap or anything but it didn’t hurt to be prepared and use the element of surprise on our side.However much I wanted to believe that things would go smoothly with Elise and Hunter, some part of me knew that it was somehow doomed from the start. Of course I couldn’t just come out and say thy to everyone, so I kept silent. I think it was my serious expression that gave away that I was brooding, for none of my men spoke to me or questioned me at any point in time.Luckily for us that was what saved us. We were near the presumed location of Elise and Hunter and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.I heard a twig snap and my ears picked up at the sound of it. Someone was in front of us.“Stop,” I called out. Everyone of my warriors fell silent imm
