With the sketch book under his arm he walked out of the basement in the direction of Aria's room.

Camile stayed behind to clear everything that poured on the floor. She slowly returned them one by one back into the box. Camile's thought traveled back to when she was still alive.

How much she loved the necklace. Everywhere she went she was always with it. She considered it her lucky charm. The day she got taken the necklace was on the table back in her room.

Camile brought herself out of her thoughts, she ran her hands across her hair. She stood up and placed the box in the corner. Camille stared at the room one more time, at her things before she went back upstairs.

Camile happened to see Damien standing few metres in front of Aria's room. She was surprised because she expected him to have already entered.

Camile walked towards his direction and placed her hands on his shoulder.

"Hey," She said softly.

Damien immediately grabbed on to her hands immediately he felt it on her shoulders.

    Alpha Hendrix stood still as he stared at the picture on his wall. The room was dimly lit. All the draperies were allowed to fall freely over the windows. He was clad in a big dark jacket and a pair of dark pants.It was just him and the picture on the wall. It was a picture of his dead mate. The picture of the Luna of his pack. She seemed to have been lost in thought when the picture was taken.Her eyes didn't seem to focus on the camera and there was no smile on her face. Instead, her eyes reflected all the thoughts in her emerald green eyes.Her lips were parted slightly and her chestnut brown hair fell freely around her. She wore a strapless dress but the picture only stopped at her chest.The beauty of the picture was the fact that she hadn't been trying so hard to look good. Instead, she had been lost in a different reality.Yet the imperfection of the picture was exactly what made the picture perfect. Alpha Hendrix had always loved the picture. It was the one he had chosen to s

    Alpha Hendrix sighed again before following Peter out the door. He could feel that Peter was still tensed. He felt bad for snapping at Peter like he had done earlier.Peter was and would always remain loyal. He had always stood by him even in dark times. He never once betrayed him. He was honest and he made the best accounts for everything that happened. He could always rely on Peter.Peter remained silent as he led his Alpha through the corridor and down the flight of stairs. His entire being was fixed on the task at hand. Which was getting his alpha to the spot of the crime."How's Linda?" Alpha Hendrix suddenly asked breaking the silence that had long fallen over them.Peter turned to the Alpha surprised that he had asked him a question. By now, they had already made it to the exterior of the Alpha's mansion.Peter was surprised that he was asking for his mate. He never asked about his mate, not since Rachelle died. He stared at his Alpha strangely before finally answering."Linda

    Even as Alpha Hendrix was been driven back, thoughts of Aria entered his head. She was the daughter that reminded him the most of his dead mate. Which was why he hated her.The way her brain worked was similar to the way his dead mate used to think. It annoyed him the most that it was the dark child that had most of the attributes of the woman he loved.Peter hit a pothole and the car shook. The action caused Alpha Hendrix to come out of his thoughts and focus on the road ahead."Apologies my Alpha. I didn't see the pothole," Peter apologised.This made Hendrix turn his head to Peter. Questions ran through his mind. Had he been this much of an heartless person? Just how much had he been evil to his people?"Peter, may I ask you something?" Hendrix asked."Of course," Peter answered as quickly as the question left Hendrix's lips.Hendrix paused for a while, thinking of how he wound place the question. "Am I an evil Alpha?" He let it out.Peter threw a short glance to his Alpha before b

    "Yes. We found a body," Gerald confirmed it.Gerald stared back at the Alpha in shock. Peter remained calm as he took in the message. Donald's attention got drawn to the older Alpha even more."Daddy, you couldn't have just guessed right. How did you know this was what Gerald was going to say?" Ellie questioned her father.Hendrix exhaled sharply. Images of the dead werewolf they saw in the woods flashed through his head. He saw the huge cross that had been carved out of his chest. Something had to be done about it."We found a body too, in the woods. There had been a cross sign carved out of the body. The werewolf hunters are back and they are not afraid to make themselves known to us Werewolves," Hendrix explained."It was exactly my thought when I saw the body. Werewolf hunters. I wonder why they keep trying to annihilate us," Gerald lamented.Donald still said nothing. He felt that he was only going to speak when he had something good enough to say. Peter, like Donald too felt th

    "This is a picture of me," Aria said.Damien froze in his seat. He threw Aria a strange look. Maybe he hadn't gotten the message right."A picture of you?" Damien asked.Aria turned her gaze to him and nodded her head slowly. Damien's brows knitted together at her response. He scouted closer to Aria and took the sketchbook from her. He examined the sketch himself and he gasped due to shock.It really was a picture of Aria.His mouth came open in confusion. What was Aria's picture doing there? How could Liona have drawn Aria when he was very sure that both women had never even met.Aria exhaled sharply, breaking Damien out of his reverie. Damien brought his eyes back to her and the confusion was still evident on his face."How is my face in this book?" Aria asked Damien.Damien wanted to give her an answer. He wished he could give her the answer she wanted but there was nothing he could say. Instead, he ended up stuttering."I— I am afraid I can not give you the answer to that question

Camille asked.Aria widened her eyes, startled that she had been caught staring. Then she looked away immediately."Oh, it's nothing," Aria answered.She wanted to ask Camille about her mate. She wanted to ask her if she ever did her coming of age ceremony. She wanted to ask Camille questions but she did not have the courage.Instead, she just threw her eyes down to her feet.

Could she let out her question?Aria opened her mouth to speak but the right word to use didn't come o

    Camille followed Lana back into the dining. She met Aria smiling nervously at Lana who busied herself with serving Aria a lot of food. To someone else who didn't have any idea how Aria and Lana were related, they would have thought that Lana was Aria's mother.Aria spotted Camille watching from a distance and shot her pleading eyes. Camille immediately understood that came to her rescue."Lana? Don't you think you're feeding her too much? Take it easy on her. She's a living person and not a doll," Camille said with a wide smile on her face.Lana immediately stopped. She had understood that she had to reduce it. "I'm so sorry. It's just that I am so excited. I really like Aria a lot," Lana said and walked away hurriedly.Aria kept her nervous smile on her face as she watched Lana's back. Indeed, she was strange just as Camille had claimed."Lana doesn't just approve of anyone. There must be something about you Aria that has drawn her to like you a lot.

The entire room erupted into cheers as everyone echoed his sentiment and clinked their glasses together. Aria smiled as she watched her father glow in pride. He was so happy that they had managed to defeat the werewolf-hunters who had been terrorizing their pack for years. She knew how hard it had been for him, but he never gave up hope until they finally won out against them at last.

While in her bed, Ellie pondered going to her dad's home that 12 PM. Yet, recollecting everything's the soothsayer had said to her, it was difficult for her to settle on a choice.'… .You should play out the indoor lunar customs like clockwork at another raised area you will get ready all alone.

She had been summoned here by an ancient prophecy, one that said a chosen one would come to rectify a mistake made long ago.The priestess opened her eyes and looked around expectantly, but no one was there with her except for a slight breeze rustling through the trees. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, she heard a soft voice whisper into her ear: "Alpha Hendrix discarded his own daughter and branded her an evil twin."

She had no idea why she was being told this now.The voice continued, "Only he can rectify this mistake. He must be made to know of it."
