KYRA'S POVI remained in my room, feeling weaker than I had ever felt. Though I kept telling myself that I didn't have to feel that way because he cheated, I couldn't help it one bit. I would cry for a while and then go on to wipe my tears, only for me to burst into tears after a few minutes. "Why don't you take a nap? You should feel better after that?" I said to myself and laid on the bed. I was slowly falling asleep when I heard a loud noise from outside the pack house. I felt a surge of irritation rise in me and no matter how hard I tried to control it, I just couldn't. After enduring it for a few seconds, I dashed to my feet to check it out. To my utmost surprise, I met Ace standing with them. Anger came rushing over me because I had thought he was the one who had organised them to come apologise to me but then on second glance, I noticed that he was standing against them and seemed to be questioning their presence. "Something seems to be wrong!" I thought to myself and walked
BLAKE'S POVI set out from the pack as early as I could with my orderly and some other soldiers. There was no time to waste, especially when I planned on visiting no less than three packs that aren't close to each other in any way. As we went, I had a strong nagging feeling tug at my chest and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get rid of it from my mind. I had to be optimistic else I would find myself at the feet of it all. I couldn't sit still and continue to hope that a miracle will suddenly happen from the moon goddess who didn't give a damn about our existence or not."How quickly would we be at the first pack of visit?" I asked my orderly who had the map clasped in his hand like it was some prized possession. He opened the leather map in his hand and went through it for a few seconds while constantly clearing his throat. "We should be at the first pack two hours from now if we continue at our current pace," he announced and my face fell immediately. That two hours wa
KYRA'S POVNot once did it cross my mind while I was telling Cindy about her brother's actions did it cross my mind that she would react that way. She became all violent and wouldn't listen to any words from him. It got to a point and I began to feel really bad for him. I tried to make her stop but I couldn't."How dare you do this to Kyra who has done nothing but love you since she met you," she began in a loud and firm voice that sent shivers down my spine. "I didn't mean to, honestly. It all happened so fast…." Ace said in his defense but she cut him short before he got a chance to speak further. Her hands were clasped together with her lips pouted awkwardly."Oh please, spare me the tale of how you didn't mean to cheat on her. You didn't mean to cheat on her but you still did.. is that an excuse? And have you gone on to plead with her? You should be pleading all day long before she should forgive you…" she chipped in with a loud and firm voice. I laughed as it sounded funny to me
HARDIN'S POVI still had my sword to his head, and I was really ready to behead him if he decided to act foolish. The air was heavy and filled with uncertainty. He glared at me and I was sure he was trying to Calculate my next move. If only he knew what I had in plan for him, then he wouldn't even dare to act stupid. I was all ready for him. "Drop all weapons at once!" I said in a loud authoritative voice that would have sent shivers down the spine of ordinary persons. He was hesitant to do so but the moment I pushed the blade deeper onto his neck, he immediately dropped his weapon, panting heavily like he had just completed a marathon. I beckoned on some guards that I knew would be there and in they came at once, shocked to meet him there."Take him out and tie to the plank in the open space. I have some questions to ask of him and I'm going to make sure he answers me with nothing but the truth," I said with great confidence that I had not the slightest explanation for. A sigh esc
HARDIN'S POVI was shocked to the marrow the moment I heard those words from his lips. I began to fidget as fear gripped me at once. I wasn't scared for what he was going to do to me, I was scared for my son. It all made sense why I was seeing all those guys there. They must have been moving when they were suddenly attacked by Rahl and his men."I hope you haven't done any harm to my son? I'm not going to spare you if you dare lay a hand to him," I threatened in a loud and formidable voice that echoed through the forest. Rahl scoffed, rolling his eyes with indifference. He clasped his hands together as he sauntered towards me."And if I've hurt your son, what are you going to do to me?" He said with a fierce reaction that sent shivers down my spine. I swallowed hard as I stared right at him."No, I need to know what you are going to do to me! You this spineless and toothless dog, you've got the effrontery to threaten me. That's really funny…" he laughed snapping his fingers at once. S
BLAKE'S POVMy eyes darted around as I wallowed in shock. My brain tried to process what just happened but to no avail. It seemed like a dream that would never come to an end. I swallowed hard and fixed my gaze right on him, sneering with great evil. "Do you want to say you do not know who I am?" I Snapped at him, pissed by the fact that he even kept me standing."I'm sorry but I do not know you. Who are you or is it so hard to introduce yourself?" He shot at me, leaving me dumbfounded. It took me almost a minute to regain my senses and become I originally waa- Blake. I knew exactly what he was trying to do and if I was to be honest, then I'd say it was working but not anymore. I cleared my throat with my chin held high and then began to speak."I am Blake, the Alpha of the moon pack and I am here to see the alpha of your pack so let me in at once!" By the time I was done, I was shocked at how calm and relaxed I managed to speak even when I was boiling with anger."The moon pack? The
HARDIN'S POV I was shocked to the marrow the moment the soldier spoke up. I couldn't understand why Blake decided to act in such an annoying manner. How could he take such rash decision without consulting me first. I began to pace around the room as various thoughts ran through my mind. "Did he tell you the pack he'll be heading to?" I asked, my heart thumping incessantly against my chest. "No sir, he didn't state the particular pack he'll be heading to. He made mention that he was heading to more than one pack.""Damn! This is crazy! What are we to do?" I began to lament. I was worried for various reasons but most especially because of the Alphas. Now that we aren't in charge of the pack anymore, it would be difficult to know the stand of the Alphas. I was pretty sure a majority of uu allies has sold themselves to Rahl to avoid being eliminated."Did he say he'll be returning today?""Yes he said so sir. It's afternoon already so they should be on their way already…" I heaved a s
RAHL'S POV The anger in me at that moment was greater than the anger that I had ever felt in my entire life. My heart thumped heavily against my chest as I continued to pace around the room with my eyes flickering uncontrollably. "How could he do this to me? How could he? After all I have done to him. He was nothing when I picked him up and asked him to come with me but now, he has grown so fierce that he can now rebel against me." I said aloud. The maids that were in the room shivered with fear, their hands shaking uncontrollably like they were some jelly. A glance at them and I became irritated. I tried to understand why they were acting all dense and stupid but I couldn't. I clenched my hand into a fist and helped myself into the throne that was behind me. "Get me a glass of water!" My voice was loud and bore great energy. I could bet it was fueled by the anger that was eating me more more quickly than I anticipated. One of the maids scurried out of the hall to carry out my o
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. My eyes were filled with tears as I rolled around in search of Cindy. I had grown to love her and that a day without her felt like a nightmare to me but then I couldn't but punish her for betraying my trust and all. 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. I was still speaking to myself when I Heard some loud noises from outside. It was weird for people to make so much noise at that time of the day. I had a strong feeling that all was
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. I had to stay there and listen to Whatever it was he had to say."And what both
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
