Chapter: Chapter SixJORDANThere was a long, heavy pause on the other end of the line, followed by the sound of fingers typing rapidly across a mechanical keyboard. "Wait wait wait a minute…Y- you are asking me to poke around in the files of a convicted traitor's family, Jordan.”A loud defeated sigh followed.“If Alpha Magnus catches me running these specific searches, he will have my head mounted on a spike outside the Packhouse.""I will take full responsibility if anyone asks questions, but I need that information before the sun rises tomorrow morning," I insisted, my voice thick with desperation and exhaustion. "Please, Cael. My grandmother's entire life depends on me finding this elusive girl.""Give me an hour to bypass the security firewalls, and I will send whatever fragments I can find directly to your encrypted inbox," Cael promised before promptly terminating the connection.I tossed the phone onto the cushion of my living room couch and sank down beside it, dragging my hands over my weary

Chapter: FiveJORDANYay me! Of course there had to be some sort of one-sided deal.And the thought that I was going down that rabbit hole alone was driving me nuts."I am not doing his dirty work, Ronan," I stated clearly, my voice vibrating with an intense, barely contained rage that made my wolf claw relentlessly at the confines of my mind. If anything, I wanted to wrap my hands around his neck and squeeze the air out of him until his face turned purple "You can go back to the Packhouse and tell my father that his demands mean absolutely nothing to me."Ronan wiped the blood from his chin with the back of his hand and slowly pushed himself up into a sitting position, leaning his heavy frame against the wall. "You do not have a choice in this matter, Jordan, and you know exactly how this game is played. The Alpha has made his terms incredibly clear, and he expects you to follow them without hesitation.""He expects me to hunt down a probably innocent girl to cover up whatever dark, twisted secre

Chapter: FourJordan Draven’s POV“I forgot to ask for your name.” I heard Emberly say as I closed the door to the ward. Who does he even think he is? The hospital always made me restless. From the day I lost my sister at the hospital. A reminder that strength meant nothing when the people you lived with were lying unconscious behind closed doors and you somehow knew you carried the whole - fault.I stood in the hallway long after I had closed the door, staring at the floor in deep thoughts. Grandma was supposed to be saved at home. It was the only place in the world that my father's men couldn't reach or at least, that was what I had believed. It was the main reason I avoided going to stay over at her place even when I knew she was going to accept me. However, I didn't want to get her into trouble. She was my mother's mother and it was very possible for my father to do the unthinkable to her. My jaw clenched as the doctor's words replayed in my head. “Toxin?”This was clear that it wasn't an

Chapter: ThreeAmberly POVI wrapped my hands around my chest, trying to suppress the cold breeze coursing through me as Grandma Alder was carried away from us.One moment, she was in my arms while the emergency team lifted her onto a stretcher, and the next, she was disappearing behind swinging double doors with medical staff surrounding her. She looked so fragile and pale. And now, it was just me, my back fixated on the wall, staring at the fluorescent light reflecting towards our direction, and him.He stood a few feet away from me, his shoulders tensed and his hands shoved into his jacket pockets like he was holding himself back from something. I had so many questions running through my mind as I stared at the dark curly hair boy in front of me. Why the fuck was he sneaking in like a thief and in the next minute, shouting ‘grandma’ why?“Stop staring at me!” His cold voice echoed through the hall, causing me to quickly avert my eyes away from his. “I am not staring at you.” I counter, rolli

Chapter: TwoAmberly POVMate?The way he had held my neck as though I was an abomination when he heard the word ‘mate’ made my heart skip. I was sure if I didn't try as possible to push his hands away from me and run like my life depended on it, I would have been dead by now.A shaky breath escaped out of my lips as I shoved my trembling hands into the pocket of my hoodie, staring at my back to see if he was following me while I walked down the lane road leading away from campus. “I'm not your mate!” He'd yelled, and I didn't miss the fear across his face. Why does fate have to always make things infinitely more complicated for me? Always ruining my carefully laid plans? I rubbed my wrist unconsciously, remembering the heat of his hand when he grabbed me outside the lecture hall. Even now, I could still feel pain as I tried to straighten it. This was bad, really bad.I was already hiding from a pack that believed I was connected to treason. Already living under a false identity. Yet, the mom

Chapter: OneAmberly POV Today was my first day at college in the southern pack, somewhere I never thought I would be, and the craziest part?I was disguised as a boy. I sat stiffly in the third row with my chin lifted up, trying to keep things in check and not try to let them notice feminine changes in my body. Crazy isn't it?My hair, chestnut curly hair was now short and brushed against the collar of the academy uniform that grandma had given me. “And that is why territorial boundary laws…”A loud slam landed against my desk and I jerked upright, my heart racing rapidly. I came face to face with the lecturer, his palm still pressed against the table where he had slammed on. “Well,” he started sharply, his voice filled with pure disgust. “Care to share with the class why our new student, Emberly, believes my lecture is an appropriate time for a nap?”Okay, I think I just got into big trouble. And Emberly, was definitely not my name. My real name was Amberly Lynne and I was the daughter of
