Hermosa POVMy eyes trailed his movement as he approached my bedstand. He came back, announcing his presence like I cared—even though I did. I was scared of staying alone with his Beta, and his presence was comfortable.His question sounded like interrogation, trying so hard to learn more about my past; but I will be damned to reveal an inch of myself to the man that killed my best friend.Eyes blue like the ocean sea melted my resistance. After what his Beta told me, I didn’t know who to trust: a word of a killer, or my memory of that night.I had stayed with Raphael for the better years of my life. He hated the club, but lied about his involvement with Eleanor; while the Alpha King, with his seductive gaze, made me want to fall into his arms.I didn’t know who or what to believe. If I could get my best friend and get out of here, my reason for living will be complete.I just have to play along. His fingers grazed my lips and moved quickly to my neck in a failed attempt to choke me.

ALPHA KING POVTrapped between Hermosa, I wanted to bind her two hands with my belt. She lacked discipline, always running her mouth when it wasn't the right time.She lacked fear and obedience—one I was ever ready to teach her. The abrupt knocking on the door saved me from claiming her. I was now afraid that Leo didn't push me any longer, but my thoughts and desire propelled me.Deep down, my inside swirled, warning me of the dangers of letting her in. I wasn't one to listen to threats, especially one from my gut.I always followed my fist, and it had led me this far. To her. I grumbled inwardly, reminding myself that I didn't want to claim her.There was a lot of chaos outside the hospital—patients running wild with joy and doctors trying to calm them down.Joy was written on their faces as mothers embraced their sons and fathers embraced their daughters. Few moments earlier, everywhere was filled with gloom, and there wasn't even enough space to keep the patients. But now they were

Hermosa POVI woke up to find the Alpha King seated in a chair close to my bed. My eyes struggled to form a complete picture of him. I remembered waking up earlier, blabbing rubbish from my mouth, and then drifting back to sleep. I groaned internally; I hoped I hadn’t said anything incriminating.The claw marks had already vanished from my skin as if they were never there. I had never healed that fast from an injury before, nor had I ever taken on an Alpha by myself. Something was changing within me ever since that strange painting at Raphael’s. I felt strong and, at the same time, weak. Weak, because Cammy was somewhere in that Shadow Pack while I lay here comfortably.My attention shifted to the Alpha King. His shoulders were tensed as he stared blankly at the door, all his concentration firmly planted on it. He didn’t even know that I was awake. I coughed to get his attention."What is going on?" I asked with little effort.Too late. His eyes snapped quickly away from the door to

Alpha King (Ragal) POVI followed the doctor toward Hermosa's room, my heart beating fast. For the first time, I hoped it wasn't a "bad call" from the physician. Even though we didn't know each other that well, I didn't want any harm to come to her. Her body lay on the hospital bed, as lifeless as the last time I dropped her off."What is it, doctor? Is she dead?" I turned to face the man, who took out a syringe and inserted it directly into her veins."No, she's not." He stared with admiration at the blood he had just drawn."Then what is the problem?" I asked impatiently."She's an Omega?" the doctor asked. The question was stupid, but at the same time, insightful."You can get that by… looking at her," I drawled. I was taken aback by his line of questioning."Yes, she has no wolf. I can't smell it on her." He sniffed the air with his wrinkled nose.I pushed him back. "Cut to the chase, doctor! What are we looking for?""She's barely able to keep it together," he peeped at her blood

Rapheal’s POVShe nodded her head quickly in affirmation. "No—""Are you sure?" I gripped her arm tightly, my claw marks appearing on her skin."Yes, I did!" she said, fright dancing in those beautiful eyes of hers—eyes I wouldn't hesitate to pluck out if I found out she was plotting against me."That's a good girl." I smiled. "So, what did you order the witch to do?" I pulled her in close enough to hear the soft thumping of her heartbeat."I asked her to get blood samples from you and the Alpha King.""What for?""I—I..." she stammered."Calm. Breathe, little witch. I won’t hurt you." I pressed an insincere thumb to my hairy chest. Watching her reaction to my movement was priceless.She knew that I shouldn't be able to harm her, but I knew different ways to keep her talking. Those years of giving her different Omegas to experiment on were finally paying off. These witches had a thing for Omega blood; they used it for their rituals and sacrifices. If the Alpha King finds out that his

Rapheal’s POVWe arrived at a thorny path. I alighted and ordered my Beta to keep the car hidden. I wasn’t supposed to be here; in fact, this place was kept hidden from Alphas—a decree I plan to change once I become Alpha King.The bushes were overgrown and filled with herbs and flowers: a perfect spot to house the witches without anyone bothering them."Alpha, the car is not well hidden," my Beta complained, stating the obvious."You incompetent fool. Is there anything you can do right?" I burst out, insults and frustration rambling through me."Sorry, sir. You asked—" He hesitated, not finishing his sentence as he re-entered the car and hid it carefully amongst the shrubs.At least he has brains. I walked towards the clearing, thorns and wild flowers tearing through my shirt and pants, making the whole journey unbearable."Curse those witches; they did this on purpose," I whispered under my breath, heading straight toward the huge gate with metallic gold paint across it.A man with
