Author's POV “Accepted.” Alpha Jasper said with a smirk. Signaling to Beta Jacob, he asked him to put the fight on hold but he should also make sure that no one escaped. “Yes, my lord.” Beta Jacob said and then turned around to carry out the instruction. Crouching, Alpha Noah placed his hands on the ground as his senses sharpened and body contorted as the usual cracking of muscles stretching and rearranging rented the air. Slowly, his fur became visible, a thick, silky golden brown fur that was glistening under the setting sun. On Alpha Jasper’s part, when he fully transformed into wolf form, which was a bit bigger than Alpha Noah's, dark fur appeared as his grey orbs glistened. To show his dominance, he began to snarl his teeth, causing Alpha Noah's wolf to take several steps backwards. He was scared of the wolf in front of him but his fear was not enough to make him want to give up. Suddenly, Alpha Noah surged towards him, and soon, the two wolves, their eyes blaring wi
Anna's POV Presently, I was in the courtroom, sitting at the head of the table with the wives of the Betas flanked on both sides. As expected, they were all dressed exquisitely, trying to outdo the other in their battle of relevance. Sitting here made my insides churn as a creeping sensation clouded my senses. These were the same set of people who kicked against me being the Luna of Moonlight Pack but here they are, chatting and laughing hysterically as if they were innocent. Only the thought of this wanted to make me slam their heads against each other but I couldn't bring myself to do that so, I had no choice but to bottle everything. Holding onto my glass of wine, I tried to blend in with their conversation but I didn't have anything to say. Their stories were centered on things that were going on in the pack and since I had no idea of it all, I kept mute, taking note of every detail. “My lady.” Beta Jacob’s wife called, startling me in the process. Smiling nervously at he
Anna's POV Maya's voice was firm and unwavering, I could see the anger and pain in her eyes and at this point, I couldn't do anything, not even trying to comfort her. Alpha Noah was her childhood friend, losing him because of his act of stupidity was one thing and also because of someone manipulation was something else. “She made innocent wolves die, I'm not going to spare her either.” Maya said, staring at the wall. Pulling her to myself, I began to rub circles on her back as I tried to soothe her and for the next few minutes that followed, we didn't say a word to each other. For reasons best known to Lillian, she stepped out of the chamber only to return the next minute with her eyes widened in fear. “What's the issue?” I asked, staring right back at her. “Alpha Jasper is back and he is coming straight to the chamber.” She said in a whisper and almost immediately, Maya pulled herself up. “I should take my leave now before he sees me.” “Yes, please.” I said hurriedly
Selena POV The first time that I heard the rumor of Alpha Jasper going to war against the Crestwolf pack, I couldn't bring myself to believe it. I had this strong belief that he wouldn't stoop so low to engage another pack in a war all because of a woman but to my horror, he actually went to war and not only that, he wiped the pack of every single existence. It was disheartening to learn of the war but there was nothing I could do rather than to moan in silence but it didn't last though. Before the war, I had been thinking of the perfect way to eliminate Alpha Noah so that my facade would be hidden but I couldn't come up with any. Thanks to the war, Alpha Jasper had done the dirty job and now I was free. “I hope he didn't tell him I was the mastermind of the plan?” I asked, suddenly realizing the possibility of it. For a while, I was shaking with fear as I thought about what Alpha Jasper would do to me. Back at the courtroom, I had made him believe that it was all Alpha
Anna's POV Ever since the argument that happened between me and Alpha Jasper, he hasn't returned to the chambers, causing me a great deal of worry in the process. Each time I reviewed what had happened between us in my head, I never for once saw why Alpha Jasper reacted the way he did. If he had been in my shoes, I bet he would have reacted the same way. For crying out loud, the issue involved my friend who had just lost her childhood friend. Because of this, I couldn't sit back and watch. I didn't have to be in her shoes to know that she was hurted with everything that had happened and the least I could do as a friend was to comfort her in the time of her grief. To be honest, I don't think I did anything wrong in confronting him. The least he could have said to me was, stay out of the pack issues instead of trying to prove his authority. Maya must have been waiting for me because I had promised to go see her in her chambers but because of the argument we had, I was disheve
Anna's POV “Anna…” mother called but I raised my hand above my head, sending the rest of her words back into her mouth. If I had known her mission here was to spew something of this sort, I wouldn't have come to see her. At this point, I was contemplating on letting her know the reason Alpha Jasper had gone to war against the Crestwolf pack since she must have heard of it but because I didn't want to push her away from the palace, I swallowed everything in. “Mom, I think you should just stop here.” I said with a low tone. Holding her shoulders, I stared deep into her eyes but I couldn't bring myself to say a word to her. The only thing ringing in my head was Alpha Noah's death and the moment I parted my lips, I knew I was going to tell her everything and she in turn would be scared. “Anna, please hear me out. Each time I think about this, a bout of guilt hits me and there is nothing I can do about it until…” “Mother, I'd advise you to just forget about everything.” I said
Selena's POV For more than half an hour, I have been pacing through the dark alley with my heart in my mouth, hoping no one would find me here. Even though I had asked Elena to look out for me, I couldn't help but be vigilant. Trying to keep my fright abay, I began to pace to and fro the alley with my hands across my chest. Since Anna's mom was taking a long time to return from the simple mission, I felt it was going to be a success, otherwise, she would have returned long ago with the sad news of failure. But on the other hand I was skeptical, I was scared that Alpha Jasper had walked in on them and now my cover had been blown. Overwhelmed with this fear that was raking through my body, threatening to tear me apart, I rested my back against the wall, shutting my eyes tightly as a thousand ideas spiraled through my head all at once. “I wish I had access to Alpha Jasper, this wouldn't have been happening. I would have done this myself and not feared that something might have
Anna's POV After lying on my back for a while, I pulled myself up, resting my hands on my thigh. For a while now, I have been trying to forget about everything that has happened today but I couldn't. Starting from my mother's sudden visit and then her asking me to reject Alpha Jasper and return to her was something I couldn't wrap my head around easily. Not only did it smell fishy, I smelled danger approaching. At this point, I couldn't help but wonder why it was from one drama to the other with each passing day. It hasn't been long that Alpha Noah lost his life because he was trying to take me from Alpha Jasper. “And now my mother.” I muttered, throwing my hand in the air. What the hell is happening? — I can't help but wonder as I twirled my hair in-between my fingers. While I was sitting there, my mind went to Alpha Jasper and my heart fell into my stomach. I didn't want a situation whereby he would have to spill blood again all because of me. “Before anything happens
