Xander's POVI didn't waste any time in calling an urgent meeting with Zion in my grip."This is the face of the criminal who is tipping Zane off. His name is Zion as you all know." I announced parading him before the pack naked. This wasn't what I would like to do to a grown man but he pushed me. "Now, if anyone tries this stunt, I wouldn't hesitate to kill all your family members. So before you do anything stupid, know that there are people attached to you who would bear the brunt. I'm not remorseful about my decisions." "Prepare the stakes!" I ordered and the warriors climbed on the elevated platform and began to arrange the woods properly. Well this was the best way to treat a traitor. There were a lot of them which he had told me but I was going to pick them up at night. "Place him there!" I yelled and threw him to them. They caught him and laid him on the sticks. His wife rushed out and pushed her daughter backwards while an elderly pack member covered the girl's eyes. "Ple

Ember's POV"Oh, really!?” I pretended not to be interested, meanwhile my heart was beating faster. "Yeah. I didn't pick up because I know that it's probably not for the best. I was tempted to but I realized that this wouldn't go through. I don't know." He whispered but I nodded. "Yeah, yeah. I understand that.

Trent agreed and I stared at him softly. There might be a reason why he was staring at me this way. I think I needed to have a word with Xander,

Ember's POVMy hands shook softly but I maintained a calm composure. "Huh?" I asked nonchalantly, making sure that my face tallied with my words."You were talking to someone, yelling over the phone, I ask who was that." I stared at him, he was acting like he knew everything that was going on but I didn't want to just expose myself. Damn you, Xander for getting on my nerves. "It was no one." I smiled at him tentatively "Is there anything that you want to tell me? You're back quite early." I changed the subject, looking him up and down, noticing his skewed tie."Why is your tie skewed? Did you see someone else?" I couldn't stop myself from asking. I didn't want to contract any infection from him so I needed to know what it was."I have not been able to fix it back after removing it before." "Oh, yeah... Let me help you with that." I offered, evading the topic at hand. "I thought that you were with someone else." He leaned and pecked me which I gladly returned. "why should I? When
