BLAKE'S POVI continued to stare at the objects for a while with great admiration in my eyes. Various thoughts ran through my head and I began to imagine how I was going to acquire these same weapons from the humans but I had no idea where the land of the humans was except I inquired from the Alpha."They are extremely nice equipment and if I'm to be honest, I'd like to purchase some of them for our pack or what do you think sir!" I asked without taking my eyes off him. He laughed and placed a hand on my shoulder. "I understand you would want to purchase them so I'd link you with my daughter as well but it takes about a month for it to get here but before then,,. I'd give you a few supplies to take back. That should last you a while,," he said to me and turned to the man with the broad shoulders who had his eyes on us for the past fifteen minutes we've been there."Hey! I'd need you guys to take out five of this box for our guests. Bring them to the main Pack house,," he ordered as
ACE'S POVmy eyes shot up the moment I heard Cindy speak. Had Kyra gone on to say more things to her? What did she say? " Oh my goodness! What am I to do?" I thought within myself as I dread the hurtful word Cindy might say. She would begin to remind me of how we had grown up watching our father mistreating our mother and that I was slowly moving in his steps and that was the last words I ever wanted to hear from anyone. I'd never be like my father, that I was sure of. He was an evil and unkind man and wasn't one someone should emulate.I cleared my throat as I turned my head in her direction. "About me and Kyra? What would that be? I hope it's nothing serious?" I asked without batting an eyelid. I managed to keep calm even though my heart was pounding recklessly against my chest. "Well to you, it might not be something of great importance but to me, it's really important and Is of great concern to me," she went on to say, a sigh escaping from here lips.

BLAKE'S POV As we trudged along the forest path that led home, various things ram through my head. I reminisce on the treatment we were given back then and I couldn't help but be thankful that my father had shown nothing but kindness to the people around him when he was alpha. If he hadn't been kind to the Alpha, he wouldn't even have given us an audience talkless of entertaining us or even helping us. After moving through for about half an hour, I turned to the men who had followed us to help lighten the load on my men."I think you should return now. You've really relieved them of it for the while you carried it. Thank you very much," i said to their leader who stared on at me."Are you sure you don't want us to help you further sir? The distance surely must still be far away," he suggested, a wide grin laced to his brows. I shook my head in the negative and cleared my throat."No, you do not need to worry. They'd continue from here. Thanks for your help," I insisted, leaving them
CHAPTER 114KYRA'S POVAfter returning from my walk with Cindy, I felt a kind of relief that I hadn't felt in a long while. I remembered the way she smiled at me like an elder sister would and her words? Oh my goodness, they were so reassuring and that was one of the reasons I opened up to her. She had a way of making people feel relaxed with her even though they didn't want to.I wanted to make lunch with her in the kitchen instead of the household staff but then I remembered I had to get something from the room. I quickly took off the apron and rushed down to get what it was I wanted to get. On getting there, I met Ace about to come out of the room but then I noticed some tears in this eyes. I became worried at once as I tried to process what was going on"What happened to you, Ace? Why do you have tears in your eyes? Have you been crying?""

RAHL'S POVA few hours had passed but my anger still hadn't died down and neither was I going to change my mind over anything. I already made it and that was final. We were to goAccording to my plan. As I sat on the chair, I began to think of strategies to use to take over the pack but my head was blank and I couldn't think of anything. If they truly have a very strong security around the pack, then it would be extremely difficult for us to take over no matter how hard we tried to but I wasn't one to give up or change my mind about something. Once I set my mind on something, I was going to make sure it is achieved, darning the consequences it may incur.My Lips became dry without an iota of moisture on them.

HARDIN'S POVAs I sat on my work table in my room, I began to hear the jovial and friendly voice of my son, Blake. My heart skipped a bit and I felt a strong urge to run to meet him but I refrained from doing so. Yes I was glad he was back safe and sound but that didn't mean I wasn't angry anymore. I remained where I was, my head buried wholly in what I was doing. The voice drew nearer and nearer and I needed no one to tell me where he was coming. I clenched my hands into a first, pissed at the audacity he had to giggle the way he did despite what he did.

CHAPTER 117HARDIN'S POVThe clock had struck twelve and I was in bed with Cindy beside me but strangely, not eyes were wide open and sleep refused to come. I had shut my eyes on various occasions, hoping that I would fall asleep through that but it proved abortive as my eyes remained wide open, flickering gonrinuu like it was being xomtrkj by some hidden switch I had no thoughts on my mind that I could attribute my lack of sleep to. I continued to stare at the White washed ceiling until I was tired of doing so.I turned my eyes to the other side where Cindy was. I stared into her eyes and I could see nothing but beauty in them, the same beauty that had attracted her to me the momen I laid my eyes on her. Months after, she was Still as radiant we she was but one thing I couldn't understand was how she managed to turn her back on the man she claimed to love so much the moment I came into the picture.

He was that young boy that was brought in by my Beta to be his errand boy."What are you doing here and by this time of the night?* I asked in a cool and friendly voice as I became worried for him but the moment I remembered that he was wearing a mask when I saw him and was being sneaky, the feeling of empathy I felt for him vanished into thin air. He fiddled with his fingers as his body shook with fear. "Are you deaf or has the cat suddenly gotten your tongue?" I snapped at him in a loud formidable voice. A few soldiers had walked to where I was and had taken him from my hands, clutching him with all of their Strength s
CHAPTER 179RAHL'S POVIt was late at night and all was silent. I laid on my bed with my eyes to the ceiling as various thoughts ran through my mind.

I wasn't one to be treated with leveity and this she knew but what she did do instead? She went on, acting like I wasn't of any importance to her. Tears gathered in my eyes and I made no attention of any such to prevent it from trickling down."Don't you think you should forgive her and continue like it never happened!" A voice said to me in a cool reserved manner and strangely, I began to see sense in it. I would have to go see her the next day.

CHAPTER 178KYRA'S POVBlake and his men had just arrived at our pack , ready for the battle that was to take place soon. I was filled with uncertainty and couldn't get rid it it no matter how hard I tried. I wasn't worried about him or the fact that I was going to be seeing his face regularly. I was worried if we were going to win against Rahl. Rahl was really tricky and there was no way to tell exactly what he had in plans. True, we have the advantage of the human weapon on our side but what if he has them as well? That would be catastrophic as well. We only have a little supply of it to go round a few men so I knew what I was talking about. I was still lost in my thoughts when I heard the voice of Someone from behind. I turned and right there was Blake, his hands clasped to his side. I wasn't entirely pleased with the fact that he had come to meet me there but I wasn't going to ask him to leave as well.

CHAPTER 177CINDY'S POVMy world and Everything I had worked so hard for came crumbling on me and there was nothing I could do about it. I was helpless to the core with tears trickling down my face in large torrents. It was a dark room and the only thing I could see was the mirror of myself. I Wanted to speak, to yell and cry aloud but I couldn't dare to do that. The last time I did so was ten minutes ago and I regretted it badly. The echo had sent such great fear in me with my heart thumping heavily against my chest. I glanced around hoping those who had heard my loud yell would come to find out what the problem but I was wrong. There was no sign of anyone. It was appearant that they didn't give a damn as to what to what happened to me. My mind flashed to the past hour and how things had changed for me within a short while. I still couldn't understand how Rahl happened to find out all of these. "Damn it! Perhaps he went to report to Rahl! That good for nothing orderly!" I thought to
CHAPTER 176BLAKE'S POVThe meeting had ended and we had decided to move thr soldiers to Kyra's pack the next Day. We couldn't waste time as we didn't want Rahl to be the first one to launch an attack. We wanted to take him byu surprise such that he wouldn't be able to regain his balance. Will you be coming with us, dad?" I asked after everyone else had gone. He Stared at me with disdain as if to ask what had suddenly come over me."And what sort of a question is that?" He snapped at once, a thick frown etched to the corners of his face. I lowered my gaze from him as ui wasn't ready for unnecessary talks."I only Wanted to be sure, that's all. I'm sorry if it didn't go well with you!* I quickly apologized,hoping it would end that way but I could only wish."You know you shouldn't be asking such questions. They sound dumb to the ears. If I decide to go with you, then who would remain here to look after the People? Won't they consider us thoughtless and without empathy for them?" He w
CHAPTER 175RAHL'S POV "How dare she do this to me!" I said aloud, slamming my hand against the table that was sitting right in front of me. I could get I hadn't gotten as upset as I was at that momen and no matter how hard I tried to get myself to be calm, it just proved abortive.."Are you sure you're telling the truth?* I asked in a thick baritone could just to be sure he was telling me nothing but the truth. I couldn't risk taking a crucial action based on some lie. I squeezed my brows just to give me that evillish look and it did work. He was shivering in no time and looked like He was going to break anytime soon. "Yes sir, I am sure sir. Why do you think I would lie to you sir when I'm full aware of what you are going to me if you find ou I'm lying?" He said with quavering voice that I couldn't but agree with him. The anger in me turned sour and i began to feel hurt instesd. I had done nothing but love her and make her feel loved. I had treated her in a way that I wouldn't have
CHAPTER 174KYRA'S POVAs I sat still with my head buried in some files, I noticed Ace stealing glances at me. I thought of Ignoring ig for the first few times but I couldn't anymore. I cleared my throat and raised my head to him. He immediately moved his gaze from me, pretending like he hadn't been stealing glances at me all these while. I cleared my throat and twisted my lips into a funny posture."Why are you staring at me in this manner?" I asked in a cool and calm voice, my eyes blinking uncontrollably like it was being controlled by a switch. He was mute for a few seconds with his eyes fixedl wholly on me. I loved it at first but then it became elongated and I couldn't bear it anymore. "Aren't you going to say a word? Is there anything in my eyes?" I went on to ask, a bit confused as to why he was staring at me in such manner. That was the first time I had seen him with such look and it kinda made it worried. When jr wouldn't speak, I rose to my feet and moved to where he wa
CHAPTER 173CINDY'S POV"No! Rahl. You cannot.do this to me. You have to help me. You cannot leave me to die here. You save me first and then we would discuss. Please, you shiu help me!" I pleaded with great desperation but he wouldn't listen to me. With every second that went by, the fire grew closer to me and the iota of hope I had left in me was starting to fade off. The heat was dangerous and hell. I turned behind, hoping to somehow find a way to escape but it proved abortive."Someone please help me!" I yelled at the top of my voice and jerked up at once, panting like I just completed a marathon. It felt like my heart was going to blow from my chest at any moment. I sat upright, moving my eyes around, searching for the fire. It was all a dream. I heaved a sigh of relief as I tried to catch my breath. I could only imagine What would have happened to me if it wasn't a dream after all."Is this a kind of warning to me? Could Rahl decide to do this to me if he finds out the truth of
CHAPTER 172BLAKE'S POVThere was so lot that had to be done in the settlement especially after the fight. We had to make sure it was up to what we had before. So many damages had been done and it wasn't going to be rectified in a minute. When we were done, we were pretty exhausted, I most especially. I wanted to do nothing but lay on my bed and sleep but then there were so many things that had to be done within a short while. I stood akimbo with my hands clasped to my waist and glared around while the peop worked with all their mights to make sure that they get the best out of the pack. I was still standing there when father Walked up to me with a weird look on his face. I found it rather weird that he had such expression and when he didn't speak at once, I wanted to ask him what the problem was but then I changed my mind against it and decided he should be the one to speak. "Blake! What is the next line of action?" He began just thr way I had thought he would. He clasped his hands
CHAPTER 171CINDY'S POVThe fear in me heightened with every second that went by and the more I pondered on the issue at hand, the more my heart palpitated against my chest. I was yet to understand why Rahl was suddenly creating a fuss over it. At the rate he was going, I was sure he wasn't going to spare me if he finds out the truth. He is going to kill me and wouldn't even spare a second to hear me out. That alone gave me goosebumps and I knew I had to think fast. I had to do what was to done at once. I sighed and then rose to my feet, pacing through the length and breadth of the room like one who was being troubled with demons. After a few seconds, I returned to the bed, sitting heavily on it like it had offended me before now. I drew the rope by the bed. It was one used as an alarm to call either of our orderlies. The moment I drew it,I heard a knock on the door and then a few seconds break before the doorknob turned, revealing my orderly who looked as serious as ever."It's time
