She was my mate… I knew but then I had to be extremely careful as well so I don't hurt her feelings. I wasn't sure if she already knew I was her mate. She should have known already. According to what I heard, I found out that both people who have been mated together always find out at the same time.As I continued along the tarred road, I bumped into someone. It was my sister, Nora."What's the problem Ace? Why do you look so deep in thought?" She asked, a bit worried. It had been a while since she saw me that way."Deep in thought? Am I?" I asked back, Pretending like I didn't know what she was talking about. I rolled my eyes in confusion but
Chapter 63BLAKE'S POV. As I pondered on the name my father just mentioned, I couldn't help but feel a kind of burn in me. I hadn't felt like that since we had to flee our pack but then that name rang a bell in my ears. I tried to think of who it could be but there was no one coming to my head. Soon, I Abandoned the thought and had to return to pressing issues that were affecting us. As I sat on the low stool, some soldiers returned with some of the women they had gone out with. They were panting really hard and seemed to be troubled. they advanced me a swift movement, taking me by surprise. Never had I imagined that I would have to move in that manner in which I was moving. It was quite different and I could very much Understand. Lol! I understood nothing. I wanted to do nothing more but give it all up. I was sick and tired of it all."What is the problem and why did you all return so suddenly?" I queried with a puzzled grimace. I needed no one to tell me the reason for their quick
CHAPTER 64KYRA'S POVmy entire organs were standing taut already in a bid to hear what it was the scheming bastard had to say about his actions. I could feel the heat from the iron on my hand but I didn't give a danmn about that. All I wanted was to get to the root of the problem at hand. I knew it wasn't my Ace that sent him and wanted to only bring enemity between us and as long as I'm alive, I'm never going to allow that happen."Are you going to speak up or you want to have a taste of this before you decide on what to do?" I snapped, moving closer to him.. his eyes shot out in fear as a loud, ear piercing yell escaped from his lips, almost defeating me."I was sent by the elder councils. They don't want you to remain the Alpha," hr confessed all at once with tears trickling down his face at once. He looked as if he had just come across the devil himself. I scoffed. "How dare they think they can eliminate me like that! This pack belongs to my parents and no one!" I said with a gr
CHAPTER 65HARDIN'S POVI was sitting on the chair in my room ehren I heard a loud noise from outside. It was quite weird and annoying for them to be making such noise when they knew exactly the situation. Who knows if the men of Rahl are around us and we don't know. I rose to my feet with great anger. I wanted to go warn them but the more steps I took out of the door, I began to Hear the voices more clearer. It appeared they weren't yelling. Something must have happened. "Oh my goodness!! What could be the problem?" I asked myself as I dashed in the direction from where I heard the noise. Halfway through and a commander was racing to meet me."What's the problem? Why do you seem so perturbed?" I asked with a confused grimace, vexed at how weak he was acting. I wanted to hold him by the neck and form him to act like the man that he was but I managed to calm myself."The Alpha! The Alpha. We met him quite unconscious. We've been trying to get him up but he's not moving at all and ne
CHAPTER 66HARDIN'S POVI knew I had to keep quiet at that very moment especially as he worked on my son. The last thing I wanted was for him to her upset because I was quite aware of how he could be whenever he was being pushed to a corner. I shivered, muttering some incoherent words of prayers while I stared on. I began to wonder who could have Wanted my son dead amongst those in the clan. My son had done nothing but save their lives after the pack was taken over but then they repay him by trying to kill him. I was really hurt and vowed to exact revenge on whoever it was that planned to kill him. I noticed the doctor bring out a powder like substance from his small and dirty bag and was about putting it on my son's nostril."If I may ask, what's that?" I said in a loud voice. You couldn't blame me for reacting that way. I was scared and there was no one to be trusted. He turned his head to him and surprisingly, he didn't look upset and neither was he mad. Perhaps, he understood my
CHAPTER 67 RAHL'S POV "Damn it! What the hell is your problem? Why aren't they here yet?" I yelled at the men who were standing a few paces away from me with their heads bent low. My hand was clenched into a fist and I felt a strong urge to bury it in their face but I managed to control myself even though my anger was eating deep into me already.They were quiet for a few seconds as they fiddled with their hands and feet. That infuriated me the more. I reached for my sword and drew it out at once, panting with fury."Are you going to speak up but you'll like for one of you to be used as a lesson to the rest of you before you know what you're to do?" I slammed at them as I took out my sword and flashed it in front of them."We have no idea why they aren't here sir. They did promise to be here at this time sir…" they were shivering really hard but I didn't give a damn. All I wanted was to see those I was expecting to see and nothing more."If they promised to be here, why aren't they h
CHAPTER 68BLAKES POVNow, the first question remained, who could have tried to kill me and why? It wasn't all clear to me and no matter how hard I tried to make myself understand it, I just didn't seem to understand it but there was no time to waste trying to understand what was and what wasn't. I rose to my feet but then a sharp pain held me to the ground at once causing me to whimper."Oh, you have to take it gently… it would take a while before you are able to carry out those things you do without an iota of pain…" the doctor said to me as he packed his backpack. He made to leave when my father called him back and handed a sack to him. The old man stared at it for a few seconds as it to ask what it was for. My father understood immediately."It's a gift from me to you. You don't have to worry about anything…" he assured him with a wide smile that revealed his dentures that were coloured and filled with black spots. You couldn't blame him too much."A gift? Wasn't it just two days
ACE'S POVAs I glared at kyra, I felt a rush of joy within me like I had never known before and all attempt by me to try to understand it proved abortive. If someone had told me that she was going to turn out as strong as she was, then I would have debunked it. As she spoke, her words and voice sent goosebumps through me. This was the same girl who had been racing through the forest and was almost raped. This was the same girl who couldn't find her wolf no matter how hard she tried. I was thrilled and wanted to do nothing more than hold her hand, plant a kiss on it and tell her how proud she makes me feel. I wanted to lock her in a tight embrace.My eyes met with hers and she immediately smiled… no, she didn't smile. She blushed. Yes, that was the right word.The rest of the commanders followed her eyes until ih rested on me. They were aware that I was behind her smile at that moment. I quickly took my eyes off her as I didn't want to be the one to disrupt the meeting."I think that sh
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
