CAM’S POVImmediately Carson walked out of the room, few minutes later I followed him. I knew where he was going and I wanted to be there. Kane fucked us all up. We trusted him. I personally wanted to hear his excuse for what he did. For doing this to us. We took him as a father figure when our parents died. He was the one that kept us safe during the attack that happened when our parents died. I was particularly closer to him. Or so I thought. He'd always asked me how I was doing. We bonded most times whenever he came over to my greenhouse. He'd asked me loads of questions regarding the plants and flowers I was raising.Anytime I had something bothering me, he'll be the first person I'd go to. He was the father figure in my life particularly. How and why he did this was what I couldn’t understand. I felt overwhelming pain and betrayal as I could not still comprehend this happening.What if Lucas knew about this too? Were they both in on it? As I walked down the stairs, everything
CARSON’S POVI ran and continued running for a long time. My mind was clouded. There were a lot of things running through my mind but it was still clouded. I could not think straight. I had started off running in my human form. A few minutes later I shifted to my wolf. I was angry and hurt. I hated everything. Hated the situation and circumstances I had found myself in. Apart from being an Alpha, my life was practically a joke. How could it be that Kane was the one that betrayed us? Planned alongside Zeus to hurt my mate. For what reason? He was saying the other time that he had a valid reason for doing so. I wasn't ready to listen to any of the bullshit that he spewed from his mouth. The events that occurred that night were still fresh in my head.Everything was going fine until they just went wrong. I had the hunch that, they had an inside person for them to just barge in and do such evil. What I never thought or expected was for it to be Kane. We took that bastard as a father w
LUCAS’S POVI had seen Carson run out of the pack house earlier and I went after him.My father had been the cause of everything that went down, I still couldn't believe that my own father who had brought up the Alphas and trained me to always stay loyal to them could betray them.Who knew he had his eye on the throne all along.Why couldn't he have been satisfied being a Beta like I was, the brothers were excellent rulers who didn't have to do anything to earn my subservience to them.I chased after Carson, following closely but softly behind him.After a few moments, he discovered me and I went up to apologize to him but he refused my apology.He had a look of hatred on his face and I knew it would be hard for him to ever trust me again."This is all my bastard fathers fault." I thought to myself once Carson was gone, my fist clenching hard at the anger that was welling up inside me.I sat on the rock Carson had just stood up from and pondered over what had happened.How had the lov
ANNE'S POVMy eyes fluttered open and my head felt like it was being hammered.I grabbed my head, rubbing the space between my brows to try and dispel my headache.Looking around the room, I realized I was all alone.My throat felt dry and parched, I tried connecting with my wolf but received no answer.She must still be blocked off from what happened.I stood up with some difficulty and headed down to the kitchen to get a glass of water."Anne you're up." Lydia gasped excitedly the moment she saw me."Yes, I woke up just now. I replied, my voice croaky."Why are you here? you shouldn't have gotten up." She said, looking me up and down in worry."Lydia, I'm fine. I woke up and no one was there and I needed to drink water so I came down to get it myself." I explained and poured myself a glass of water.The cool liquid ran down my throat satisfyingly and I poured myself another glass.A shocked gasp came from the door and Nicole rushed in."Anne you're up." She squealed excitedly and gr
CADEL'S POVI walked around the pack house, trying to locate Anne.Nowadays, I was unusually wary and I always wanted to have her in my line of sight.That seemed like the only way I could keep her safe.As I walked, I heard voices coming from the direction of the garden and I moved closer to see who they were.Soon as I got to the garden, I saw Anne and Carson sitted on a bench and I approached them but what happened next made me stop in my tracks.Anne had leaned in and kissed Carson.My wolf growled angrily inside of me in a possessive stance and I stormed off towards them and pulled them apart.I dragged Carson up by the collar angrily."Why do you always go after everything that's mine?" I snarled angrily."She was never yours, just because you found her first doesn't make her yours." He scoffed in reply.Time seemed to freeze and I could feel the wind gently fluttering past my ears.My blood boiled as a rage overtook me."You fucking asshole, was this your plan all along, to dis
CADEL'S POVThe next day, I called for a meeting with my brothers and the elders of the pack to decide what to do about Zane.He had been locked up in the dungeon long enough and Carson had thoroughly tortured him too, it was time to decide what to do with him.We also needed to discuss how to keep Zeus out of our territory and prepare to counter any of his surprise attacks."Alphas I would like to suggest Zane be publicly executed." First Elder said and a murmur arose among the elders."Yes I support First Elder, A public execution will serve as a deterrance to any other disloyal werewolf of our pack and keep them in check." Third Elder said in support.Only the Second Elder had a disapproving look on his face."Although, Zane committed a lot of crimes, he was still once a Beta in this pack and had even brought you the Alphas up. Killing him would make our people question the Alphas humane feelings." He said."However, his demerits outweigh his merits." First Elder argued."He has to
ANNE'S POVI stretched my arms as I lay in bed, the rays of the rising sun filtered in, giving my room a warm glow.The sonorous chirping of birds rang melodiously outside my window and the sweet smell of the flowers Cadel had given me swept across the room.Although I had placed them in water, they were starting to dry and I made a mental note to ask Cam for more.It was obvious he was the source of the flowers even though Cadel had given them to me.Zane's execution had taked place yesterday but I was not in attendance.Cadel had said he didn't want me to witness the scene and I had also not been introduced to the pack as their mate so I just stayed in my room all day.I wasn't particularly happy about Zane's death but I felt even more pity for Lucas who had to be banished for his father's crime.My stomach rumbled and I dragged myself out of bed to bath.When I was done bathing, I picked out a flowery yellow dress that reached down to my knee to wear.It had an overlapping neckline
ANNE'S POV"Who's there." I called out, looking around the forest trees frantically.I was in the middle of a forest that stood between the pack house and the borders where Emily lived.It was a thick forest that was dark because of the trees that blanketed it, blocking out the rays of light."Who's there? Show yourself." I shouted out again.A cold voice cackled in laughter and a short man with a scar that ran across his face walked out.I recognized him from the pack house, he had a roadside stall where he sold handmade bracelets and jewelries and Nicole and I had visited his stall once when we went out shopping.That day, I had gotten some jewelries which I had gifted to Lydia and some of the other maids who worked in the kitchen.The scar on his face was unmistakable and he had given me an extra bracelet that day so I remembered him very clearly.But why was he here?And why was he following me?He walked towards me and I retreated a few steps back from him."Aren't you the man fr
