***Keira's POV***I walked out of Ethan's office, and he didn't even bother to come after me. What was I thinking? I chuckled at myself as I walked into the car. This was messed up, and I feel like I'm dreaming about all that happened a while ago. Next, I went to Damsons office. While on my way, I silently prayed for things to go smoothly. I hoped and prayed that things wouldn't go as bad as it did with Ethan. I don't think I can bear these heartbreaks the same day. It would kill me if I had to go through it again. I arrived at Damson's working environment some minutes later. I walked over to the direction of the reception, just like I did at Ethan's office. “Miss Keira, you're here. How can I help you?” Damson's secretary asked. “I wish to see your boss.”“Huh? Didn't the boss inform you?”“Inform me about what? I asked, wide-eyed.“The boss traveled two weeks ago, and he wouldn't be back until the end of the year.”Instantly, I staggered backwards. The pain in my heart got eve

***Keira's POV***I breathed heavily in fear. Everyone said things that weren't true. “How dare a wolf less wolf be among us? This is a shame to our great pack and Alpha,” someone among the crowd. “Test her already!” A group screamed among the crowd. I was done for. My heart raced fast, and my knees buckled in fear. I also felt sick at the out of my stomach. I heard those who were caught were either banished or killed. I looked among the crowd, hoping I could find Drake or Ethan. They promised to save me. They promised to help me so no one could hurt me. What will happen to me now? Death or banishment? I was confused and weak. I wish I knew what awaited me at this point. “You heard the crowd. Now we want to see you shift into your wolf. Prove to everyone that you are one of us. Prove to the news articles spreading around and tarnishing the image of our great pack, they are mistaken. We all intend to see your transformation now!”“Yes! Prove to everyone that you are truly one of

***Alpha Drake's POV***I feel terribly sad that I had to send Keira home harshly yesterday. What is wrong with me? Why didn't I believe her? Though we still can't find the real evidence about what really happened, if there's one thing I know I should have given to her. It was my trust. Ethan called me last night and told me about what he did and how she caught him with a worker in his company. Now I understand why her eyes were puffy yesterday when she came to my office yesterday. Furthermore, I asked Damson if she had come to see him, but Damson told me that he had to leave the country for a business meeting and wouldn't be coming back until the year comes to an end. Moreover, he told me he was informed by his secretary that Keira came looking for him, but they told her exactly what he had told me. With all this that happened yesterday, I was so certain that she must have felt terribly hurt. It isn't her fault that she got drunk. Now that I think about it, I came to an understand

***Keira's POV**“Let me go!” I screamed and struggled to get away from their grasp, but that was rather a difficult thing to do as I could hardly move. I was led into a little passage of a big mansion. This was strange because I can't remember anyone living in such a place. Could it be one of my mates? But they have shown all the properties they own, and this I'm seeing right in front of me isn't part of the property they own. Just where is this place?“Move!” One of the men pushed me into a cold, dark room. “Excuse me, wait!” The door slammed shut in my face. I stood right there in the spot trying to process everything that's happening to me in just one day. I thought sending me into the woods was, so I would be eaten by beasts or rather, reunite with the others like me, but that wasn't the case at all. I was neither reunited with other wolf less beings like me nor was I eaten up by a beast. Rather. I was taken into an unknown room covered in darkness. I was sure my captors wer

***Alpha Drake's POV***As we were taken to the room where the culprit was held, I couldn't help but think about how stupid I had been. Blaming myself was such a waste of time as it will not bring Keira back to me. But first, it was better for me to interview our suspect and find out what really went wrong. As soon as we got to the room where the suspect was held, I noticed he was tied hands and feet with chains, awaiting our arrival. The moment he saw us, he began to scream. Since his mouth was tied up with a piece of cloth. I couldn't hear what he was screaming about. But I could tell that there's something he wishes to say. “Why don't you take the cloth off his mouth?” I stated. Mr. Sam quickly signaled one of his men who was keeping watch over the suspect. The piece of cloth was taken off his mouth and he began to cry out. “Please don't kill me. I do not wish to die. I want to live. Boss, please have mercy on me. I promise that it wasn't my intention to do what I did. I was
