Cheryl's poisoning is making my head spin so fast.Everything is right beneath our noses but somehow I can't figure it out. I miss Mellisa and Fred so much, we always figure things out together. A loud knock pulled me from my thoughts.“Come in.” I answered with a loud voice. The door pushed open and the sweet scent of my mate, Ariel, filled my nostrils.Her perfectly manicured feet stepped in. “Hi babe, I've missed you much. No we've missed you.” She said with a smile laying on her lips.“Come here,” I gestured towards her opening my arms and pushing away from the table so she could sit on my laps.As soon as she got close enough, I pulled her to my laps inhaling her hair for some minutes. “Didn't you miss us?” She asked with her beautiful doe eyes.“I did babe, I'm just trying to hold the pack down. You know a whole lot has been happening since Mellisa left.

Unknown POV I was staring out the window with a longing look in my eyes. My Beta was staring at me thoughtfully.“You're staring, Why?” I said to him without sparing him a glance. “Nothing, Alpha. I apologise.” He aid averting his gaze.“I want that Luna, what's her name again Shelly. She reminds me of someone, I want her.”“What about your Luna, this might not end well.”I heaved a sigh, something at the back of my head longs for her. “I know, the last time that bitch almost threw it in my face.”“She's your mate Alpha. It's expected for her to want you completely to herself and no one else.”“You're the one who gives a hoot about love and all of that, women are tools to be used for nothing else. They serve their purpose silently.”He heaved a sigh, obviously frustrated and trying to pass his point.“I know Alpha but this one is a dangerous game she belongs to another Alpha.”I growled harshly, hitting my fist against the drawer next to me. My Beta didn't look startled at all. In

Mellisa's POV My heart pounded hard in my chest. Something is not right, I can feel it in my bones.“What's wrong?” Fred asked, looking at me with concern.“I have no idea. Something isn't right with Cheryl. Let me talk to Aiden.”“Aiden?” I pushed through the mindlink. He was silent.“Aiden?” I called out, nudging his mind more.“Y…yes.” He finally answered but groggily, like he had acted sleeping.“Why are you sleeping by this time?” I asked in irritation. He was silent for a short while. “It's eleven pm for crying out loud. What's wrong?” “It's Cheryl, something isn't right with her. She was about to tell me something and she seemed agitated but suddenly went silent. It felt as as if she's dying.”“What!” He rarefied through the mindlink. “Please check her, something feels gravely wrong. I need to know that she is safe.”“I'm on it.” He cut the mindlink off and I heaved a slight sigh of relief.“I know you don't want to speak to me but something us wrong with one of my pack mem

Mellisa's POV The day was getting dark already when I chose to walk back to the library. We had just finished our long conversation with the girls. Everything from my past came rushing back to me.I couldn't stay in the same space with Adam because the pain of what he did was fresh again.“Mel, what's wrong?” Fred's concerned voice resounded behind me.“It's nothing.” I said forcing a smile on my face.“I knowits something, after you were done with the girls your demeanour seemed to dampen. Tell me what's wrong?”I heaved a sigh, I knew that he wouldn't let me be so I had to speak up.“I'm feeling so hurt, Freddie.” I said tears threatening to spill from my eyes.“Why? What happened?”“Adam, we talked about him with the girls. I can't still phantom why he hated me so much at first and then threw me out just when I thought things were getting better.”“Hate can make us do stupid things.”“Now that I come to think of it there are a lot of gaps in the story that was said about my mom's

Shelly's POVThe scary Alpha keeps popping up everywhere. My heart was at ease at the sight of Mellisa. “Are you okay?” She asked me, with eyes filled with concern.I shook my head at this. “He's….” I turned to check if he was still following me but I realized that no one was there.“Calm down, Shelly. Tell me what's wrong.”“Can we go somewhere else?”“Sure, I was heading to my pack quarters to get lunch and just chill out. We can talk in my room so that you'd be comfortable.” She said, staring at me with a look I can't decipher. She makes me feel safe, like I can trust her. I'm carrying so much burden but have had no one to share.Maybe coming along will make me feel better.“Sure, I won't mind that.” I answered, she held my hands in hers and gave me a firm squeeze.We moved quietly for some minutes before we finally got to her quarters.Once we got to the door, she pushed it open.Three pairs of eyes looked at her in anticipation then it turned confused when their eyes fell on m

Melissa's POVI push my eyes open, the sun rays hit. I sit up with a yawn.Sheesh, dragon breath I need to brush my teeth.“You really need to brush those teeth so you don't send your suitors running.” Selena said with a laugh. I rolled my eyes, still a bit sleepy. “You don't even have the decency to say hi, Selena.”“I've been scolding her for being constantly unruly.” Dreca muttered with a playful tone.“Are you guys ganging up against me?”“Not at all, just stating the fact.” We giggled together.I stood up and did my morning routine.“We have so much to find, today. It might help us with some pieces of the puzzle.” Dreca said in all seriousness. “Yeah, let's start the day. Where do you advise we start from?” I asked Dreca.I stepped out, everyone seemed to still be in the room. I walked out of the door on a mission.“I'd say the library. It has the oldest records dating centuries. I could help you read some.” Pride filled his voice.“Yeah just stop boasting already.” Selena chid

Thane's POV My feet hit the concrete floor leading to the dungeons, my warriors had caught a rogue attempting to flee the camp.“Shaw, which cell is he in?”“The last cell, Alpha.”“We need to make an example out of him, so no one else thinks that it is okay to leave.”Shaw heaved a sigh but said nothing.“Do you have a problem, Shaw?” I asked with a threat in every word.He was silent for a while. “Nothing at all, Alpha.”I paused for a bit. “I hope you're not having second thoughts on our agreement and partnership?” I said, sparing him a glance.“Not at all, Alpha.” He said in a monotone voice.“It better not be so, you won't like it at all.” I said then kept on asking towards the cell.He remained silent for a while. I guess I'd keep an eye on him. I can't have anyone ruining my plans before they become successful.Once I began to pass the cells, almost all of them pushed back from the bars to avoid being noticed. I chuckled at their stupidity, like hiding could save you. We bot

Aria's POV I had Kael's hands wrapped around my shoulders, giving me relief and comfort.We walked quietly towards the backstage. Today was the day for weapon throwing and I was feeling a lot better.Soon we arrived close to the door of the room. Kael made me face him.“Remember you are one with your wolf and incomplete without her.”I nodded with a smile. “Well someone needed to speak to your stubborn self.” Willow muttered sassily at the back of your mind.“Whatever,” I told her, rolling my eyes.“Willow, right?” Kael asked.“Yes, she hasn't fully forgiven me for yesterday.”“She will come around. She absolutely loves you.”“I hope so.” I said.“Remember, I love you no matter what happens.” He said rubbing his cheeks against mine.Kael was pulling attention to us, I was getting shy.“No pressure, we all love you.”“Thank you, love you too.” I said and pulled off him.I heaved a sigh and walked inside the room, this time with so much confidence.I stopped right by a Luna who offere

Aria's POVI kept my gaze on the floor drawing patterns with my foot, completely ignoring him.“Babe? Are you okay?” He asked again, this time the girls joined him but I don't turn to face them.“What's wrong?” Adeth asked with a small voice. Kael sighed and held me with both hands spinning me around.“Don't ever put your head low, you're my queen and queens bow to no one.” He growled, placing his finger beneath my chin and pushing my head up.I closed my eyes, not trusting myself to look at him. He then placed a kiss on my lips. “If you don't open your eyes I'd keep going. I know how shy you get with PDA.”I opened my eyes in seconds. The girls giggled at our antics. I heaved a sigh and slumped my shoulders.“I'm so sorry for my poor performance, I did so badly.” I said with tears in my eyes.“I am proud of you. Your performance has nothing to do with it.”“I'm not so sure about that.” I muttered with a small voice.“We are so proud of you.” Martha, Adeth and Anita said.“Let's go

Aria's POV “Aahhhhhhh, go Luna.” The crowd cheered aloud for their individual Lunas.My eyes weaved across the crowd to find my pack. I couldn't find them at first but I later did.Martha made me a sign of love with her fingers and gave me a happy wave. Anita saw me and smiled as usual. Adeth waved brightly and cupped her mouth screaming out words I couldn't make out. “I get quite jealous of those friends of yours, mate. You're always doing stuff with them, not me.” Kael said with a huff through the mindlink.I rolled my eyes with a smile. I must school my features to avoid being suspected of getting outside help.“The first game will be archery where the Lunas will be made to shoot both fixed and moving objects. None of them must move from the circle placed or they will be disqualified from the round and that is zero points.” Alpha Thorton said with authority. “Now, Lunas take your place.” The female warrior said out loud, pointing at several red circles evenly placed away from ea

Aria's POV Kael, Aldin and the girls had walked me to the backstage of the Arena where all the Lunas will be debriefed and allocated lockers for the duration of the Tournament.Anita's last words sent a chill to my spine.“Keep your eyes open, no one is your friend here. They are all competitors, be careful.”They had all walked away from here, because only Lunas were allowed after a particular time.I was stuck in the middle of the large room while a female warrior, who was waiting in front stepped to the podium.“Quiet down, ladies. Good morning to all of you. “Good morning.” Our voices echoed round the place.“Today is a beautiful day and we will start the day with something less competitive like archery and throwing competitions to show skill and precision. The remaining games will be spread out for the next two weeks with intervals of days so that your bodies and minds can rest.”“What about the rules? This is just a waste of precious time.” A Luna said with a nasty tone.“I wa

Thane's POV“Alpha, the Beta Burns is here to see you?” My Beta, Shaw said after receiving a mindlink.“Let them lead him here, I don't trust the bastard. He is something else.”Shaw just gave me a long look. He doesn't seem too happy these days and I've been keeping a close eye on him. Something isn't right, he's been detached and not too comfortable about what we do.“Are you good?” I asked him with an expressionless demeanour.“Yes, Alpha. My pup has had complications and the infirmary has no supplies for that, I don't know what to do.”“We don't tolerate weakness in this pack at all. We only want strong pups, not liabilities. Do well to find your way around it.”Something I can't tell flashes in his eyes, it then grows cold. “I completely understand, Alpha.” He answered almost robotic.I know Shaw is one of the few in the camp that treats his mate very well, almost as if he is in love. “Good.”A loud knock resounded from outside the door.“Come in,” I mentioned. The door is pus
