Anita's POV“Sweetie, are you there?” Anderson's worried voice echoed in the back of my mind using the mindlink.My chest fluttered at this, he has been a gift to me. My fears of losing him and subtly pushing him away hasn't deterred his love for me. I rolled my eyes though because I'm not used to being babied like this.“Yes, I'm safe at the quarters with everyone else.” He took a breath of relief and chuckled. “You know this is not the time but I can only imagine you rolling your eyes and pouting at the fact that I'm babying you.”I chuckled at this, covering it up with a cough so no one will think I'm being weird. “I just did.”“I'm fending off the intruders with some warriors. Please stay safe my love.” His voice pleaded with me.“I promise, in fact you'd get three kisses if you also promise to come back to me safe.”“Now you have given me a perfect reason to stay alive. I can't wait to taste those lips.”I laughed at this and cut the mindlink off.“Dad? Are you there?” I called

Aria's POVThe female warrior in charge of us took her place on the podium backstage. She cleared her throat and took the microphone.“Today we have selected eight Lunas with the highest scores to be a part of the tournament. They will solve real issues within packs and come up with solutions for them.”We nodded, several Lunas didn't look impressed at all. Most wanted to be a part of the eight picked. “The eight Lunas picked should show themselves.”I stepped forward, Stephanie the red head that used to be a thorn in my flesh was also a part of the eight. Emerald was also one of the chosen ones.Immediately we got on stage, a loud, painful howl echoed around the pack lands. Most of us replied to it not knowing the cause for it.Then something I never imagined happened. “We are under attack! It's not a drill, we are under attack!”Several warriors and Alphas rushed into where we were. “All of you please go back to the pack house, that is your quarters. The bunker can't take us all b

Kael’s POVToday is the day for the hearing where several pack issues will be brought and the Luna's with the highest points throughout the tournament get to answer.I'm so proud of my baby, she didn't just scale through but had one of the highest points. She wrapped her arms around mine as I held her close to me. I wish we didn't have to get out of bed. I placed my nose in her neck and took a whiff of her scent, my mouth watered at how good it was.“Kitten, did you change your perfume? You smell different.” I murmured against her skin.She shook her head slightly. “No, I didn't. Do I smell any different?”“Yes, slightly. Your scent is driving me nuts. I love it.”She chuckled and placed her hand in hair, combing it with her fingers.“How are you able to keep your hands off me and not ask me to sleep with you?” Her faint voice filled our quiet, dimly lit room.“You had a painful past and I'd want you to completely trust me before we do anything intimate. I want to be able to push thr

Thane’s POV“Shadow, what do you have for me today?” I asked my trusted assassin.“The men we sent didn't do the job and we're caught.” He said with a look of disappointment.I smiled darkly and stepped closer to him with a knife I was using to play around and sliced it into his arm then dragged it lazily against his skin.“I hate incompetence, this could be a major problem for us. Those people are not as stupid as I initially thought they were. They shouldn't even have had their hands on him.”“I'm sorry, Master. We will make sure we get rid of him before his power finishes materialising.”“I've been able to keep him at bay and doing my bidding for years. Your silly mistakes won't ruin the empire I've built.”“Sorry, master.” I pulled the knife out and the wound didn't seal immediately because the knife was made of silver. Things aren't going as I wanted them to.The fool, Shawn, formed a genuine bond with the mate I made a witch to forcefully pair him with. Like that wasn't enough

Luna Averie’s POVMy head ached so badly in the open sun. That witch of a woman, Doris, told me to weed the grass on the training field.“Hi there, need help?” Victor's shadow hovered over me.“Not at all thank you, Victor.” I gave him a forced smile and continued to do my work.“I know that you're aware of the relationship between the Beta and the Luna. They've been at it for years, since when I was just a child.”My eyes widened at this revelation and I looked everywhere but at him. “I don't know what you are talking about.” I continued weeding, praying that he would let me be and leave.“I saw you that night, you know. You heard everything. It would seem like Brianna is my half sister after all.” He chuckled bitterly.“Why do you call the Beta by his title and not your father?”“He hasn't been a father to me, in fact he has been nothing but an utter monster. He beat my mom for so long until now her wolf has gone silent. He cheats on her with every she wolf willing to lay with him.

Kael's POV “Calm down, you need to calm down.” I held the man with all my strength, now I'm aware that he must be a Lycan to be able to withstand me.“They dared to try hurting me. Let me teach them.” The rogue growled, his wolf surfacing.“Calm down, I'll take care of it.” I inhaled my mate's scent which made me turn to see my mate and her friends staring with wide eyes.“Kitten? What are you all doing here?” My face scowled with displeasure.“Moral support, we wanted to make sure you were okay.” She answered timidly.“Babe, what are you thinking? What if this was….” I chose to keep shut for now, she knows how to get me riled up.“We'd just go,” Anita said with a smile and began pulling all of them away.Once I was sure that they were gone at least, I paid full attention to the Lycan in front of me. “We have a lot to talk about.”By now several warriors were littered all over. I looked and saw Aldin peering from the shadows.“Come, take these men to the prison. The most secure one,

Mellisa's POVA sharp gasp escaped my lips at the sight before me. Shelly was lip locked with Magnus' father. I guess things between them aren't as bad as I thought.Just like something possessed Shelly she forcefully pushed herself off him and gave him a hard slap on the face. I guess I spoke about things not being that bad too early.She then wiped her lips in disgust. “How dare you? After the humiliation, you think you'd just walk her and do this?”He held his face, I saw blood lined his lips but the look on his face made my concern dissipate. “I'm so sorry, love. I have no excuse for the pain I caused you.”Shelly furrowed her face in confusion. “Wait, what?”“I'm sorry, will you be able to forgive me?”Someone behind them cleared their throat and now that unpaid attention to it, it's Cheryl. “I'm glad you guys made up. But you'd have to pay tax for making out. How much will you pay me, Alpha?”“Anything you want, Cheryl. As long as I get to taste those lips again.”“I'm right her

Cheryl’s POVThings haven't been the same around her since the last invasion. It's like it took a part of everyone here. Surprisingly, Shelly has been spending more time with me since her rejection. It keeps her far away from prying eyes.“Can I help cook today? It would definitely help me release some tension.” Shelly asked me from the dining room, I was knitting in the sitting room.I heaved a sigh and dropped what I was doing. “How's your wolf, Medusa?”Her shoulder slumped slightly. “Since after the incidence, she has gone mute. I know she took the pain away because the stabbing pain in my heart has drastically reduced.”“You shouldn't continue like this, it might kill her.”“I don't know what to do, the loss of our second chance mate took a deeper toll on her than the last.”A loud knock interrupted our discussion. “Are you expecting anyone?” Shelly asked in confusion.“Not at all, but we can't keep them waiting outside. Go open the door.”She stood up and headed towards the door

Adam’s POVThe entire place doesn't seem right, everything is slowly getting out of control. Aiden is still unconscious, Shelly was rejected and now I'm trying to find the issues with the betrayal of Mellisa's mother.I walked towards the forest so I can have space to think and clear my head. “Adam, we need you to come for the interrogation. A rogue was found trying to poison the water pipes.” Magnus said through the mindlink.“Where are you people?”“We are already at the doors of the dungeon. Everyone is here but you, please don't bring your betrothed to avoid any unnecessary drama.”He cut of the mindlink before I could utter a word. Diana has been a symbol of shame for me. Usually, Lunas are reversed and respected but mine has made people detest her presence.I sped towards the dungeons and arrived there in minutes.“Good evening, Alpha.” The two guards at the door of the dungeon greeted respectfully.I nodded at them and stepped inside, then followed their scent and found myself

Mellisa's POVA feral growl rumbled in my chest, my wolf, Selena, had pushed forward. I gave Magnus' father, Alpha Byron a menacing look and rushed towards him, Magnus intercepted. He held me down a little bit. I shoved him so hard that he hit the wall and dented it. Adam rushed in and held me, in seconds Magnus was up holding me down once more.“You dare reject a mate bond. You have no idea the pain you've caused her. I hope you'll regret this foolish action.” My voice sounded very authoritative and firm.I hugged in irritation at his instant look of regret and walked out on all of them. I need to find Shelly, I understand the depth of her pain. She has never known love and her second chance at it just blew up.“Selena, help me find her.”I followed her scent and it took me to a part of the pack lands that was deserted. I could hear her painful whimpers. My heart hurt badly at the sound of it. I looked closely and found her in her wolf form curled close to a tree trunk.“Shelly?” I

Shelly’s POVI still can't believe the amount of unrest caused by the Beta’s mate, Ariel. There are subtle whispers in the pack about her gut retching betrayal. For the first time in a long time the Octavius pack got hit so badly.“Penny for your thoughts.” Cheryl said from behind me and sat beside me on the grass.I smiled at her faintly and shook my head slightly. “How are you feeling? We haven't been seeing much of you since the happenings in the pack.”She stayed silent for some seconds staring at the beautiful sight of nature before us. “I needed time to absorb the happenings. So much has been happening in the pack. I also just discovered that it would seem like my history has been a lie.” Her last words wobbled slightly, making me stare and realize that tears were threatening to spill.“What is the matter, Cheryl?”“My mate, Byron is back and I don't know if he ever betrayed me or gave his life for me.”“We'll figure it all out.” I wrapped my arms around her in comfort. She held

Aiden’s POV“He's doing a lot better, Alpha. Whatever you did to him yesterday has greatly improved him. His wolf seemed gone at first but now he's back.” The voice of Dr. Freda flooded my ears.My head pounded so hard, it felt like a log was used to hit it severally. I groaned as I tried pushing myself to a sitting position. The light was too bright for my eyes and I had to shut them tight.“Take it easy.” Dr. Freda said from beside me, placing her hands on my chest and pushing me down.“Where am I?” I still had my eyes shut and just tried opening them for a bit.“At the pack infirmary.” Melissa’s voice echoed from beside me.“Why am I here?” I was confused.“You can't remember anything?” Melissa asked with panic clear as day in her voice.Just like a truck hit me, the painful memories bombarded me one after another. I released a loud howl in pain and several wolves answered it.“I deserve to be killed.” It was the first thing I could think of as I finally got a good look at Mellisa
