Aurelia's Point of View I filed my nails as I stared at the dull gray colored wall, wondering when Brooks would be back. It was exactly two weeks he brought me to this dreary house. I haven't heard from my family, not like they cared, I have always been a burden they have been wanting to get rid of. Brooks was hardly ever home. An old friend had given him this house before he passed. The few days I spent here were like a monotonous cycle. I would wake up, stare at the blank walls, and try to occupy my time however I could. My recovery process was fast, I had taken in two stray dogs lost in the woods. Sometimes I'd flip through the few channels on the ancient television set, but there was never anything worth watching. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a key turning in the lock. My heart raced as the door swung open, and he walked in, carrying several plastic bags. "You are back," I said with a trembling voice. He ignored me and set the bags down on the coffee table. "I b

Aurelia's Point of View I felt sore as my eyes slowly fluttered open. Confusion filled me when I looked around the unfamiliar room. I tried to remember how I ended up here but the migraine increased. I located the switch as it flickered on. Looking around, I spotted my naked figure in the mirror, I immediately grabbed the duvet and pulled it tightly around me. I tried to leave the bed only to feel a sharp pain shoot between my legs. I couldn't help the gasp that escaped my lips. "Tania," I yelled in anger, as I grabbed my phone from my bag. "Hello sis, guess you enjoyed your gift." Her voice rang out at the other end of the phone. "I promise, I'd kill you." I cursed as she snickered. "You enjoyed it, you know what happens when you have sex without a proper rejection ceremony and the Alpha is yet to let go of you.” "I swear, you..." I tried saying as she dropped the call. I knew I was in trouble, this was a setup, I wasn't supposed to be with another man unless

Aurelia's Point of View I woke up to the sterile smell of antiseptic and the soft beeping of medical equipment. The harsh white light of the hospital room made me squint. “Where are we?” Xena growled as I sat up, the past incident rushing to me. “My baby.” I placed my hands on my stomach looking around, hoping the pack doctor would walk in soon. “When will you stop blocking me out? I'm tired of being left in the dark.” Xena linked me, but I was doing it for our good as I apologized to her. The door opened as a tall man in a white coat walked towards the foot of my bed. “Who are you?” I whispered with a dry throat. He wasn't the pack doctor I knew and there was something strange about the place. “I’m the pack doctor, your vitals are okay, but you need to rest at least for a week.” I swallowed hard saliva as he spoke. “How are you? I noticed something different about your blood and…” "I'm... I'm okay, I think," I interrupted, as I croaked out, I didn't want to talk about my

Aurelia's Point of View I knew something was wrong the moment I stepped into the pack house. The Betas' and Gammas' uncomfortable stares made me realize that, but the happiness in me at the three words "You are pregnant." The pack doctor had said earlier, didn't let me care about what was wrong as I dashed into Alpha Aiden's room to break the good news. But the sight I met, made rage boil in me. I wanted to scream, my mouth was opened, but no sound escaped my lips. "No." It was the only word I could mutter, I didn't want to believe what I was seeing. "Aiden?" I called in a trembling voice as he stopped moaning, turning to stare at me, his eyes held no remorse but rage as he pulled out of the lady beneath him. I raised my hands to my face, rubbing my eyes. "What are you doing here Lia?" he shouted, his voice laced with venom. "I told you, you couldn't show up here unless I sent for you. If you had just listened, you wouldn't have seen this." He didn't even bother to hide h

Chris POV"Why don't we kill him?" I shot him a stare, my eyes filled with a mixture of fear and defiance."Take this," he said, handing Dove the bag, while I whimpered, staring at them, my body trembling."You don't want to do this," he said, his voice laced with a threatening undertone, as he walked towards me, and I instinctively moved backward, my heart pounding in my chest."And where do you think you're going?" one of Dove's men asked, his voice dripping with malice and amusement."You talk too much. We need to end you," he said, a cruel grin spreading across his face, as I found myself apologizing profusely, my voice quivering with fear. But then, unexpectedly, they burst into laughter."Got you again," they said, their laughter echoing through the air, as I heaved a sigh of relief, wiping the tears from my eyes."Yeah, you did, and it isn't funny," I said, my voice still shaky, trying to regain my composure."Don't tell me you were crying, bro," they said to me, their tone tea

Amelia's Pov "I love you," I said, my voice trembling, as he paused, his expression unreadable."Ermm," I stammered, a nervous laugh escaping me."I said that to calm you down, you know, right?" I continued, gesturing with my hands, but he remained silent, his gaze fixed on me."You love me, don't you?" he finally asked, his tone questioning, as I turned to leave, feeling the weight of embarrassment overwhelming me. I nodded, unable to find the words."I do, I do love you," I managed to say, my emotions impossible to conceal, as a small smile formed on his lips."But what about your mate? You need to work on your feelings," he replied curtly, turning to leave, and I couldn't believe it."What?" I blurted out, looking around the empty hallway, my embarrassment intensifying."Did I just confess my feelings and get this as a reply?" I murmured, unable to comprehend what had just transpired."Oh no," I whispered, realizing I had gotten myself into trouble.Facing him again seemed impossi

Andrew's PovI couldn't believe it. How did they catch him? I knew he was quick and resourceful. My heart sank as I watched him being dragged closer and closer to us. I could see the fear in his eyes.Pete walked up to him and sneered. "Looks like we caught ourselves a little spy, your savior," he said. "What do you have to say for yourself, Greg?"Greg didn't answer, but I could see the defiance in his eyes. He was always the stubborn one, never backing down from a challenge. I admired him for that, but I also knew it could be his downfall.I stood frozen in horror as Greg was dragged towards us like a sacrificial goat. His eyes were filled with fear and despair, and I knew that he had suffered greatly at the hands of these monsters.Pete let out a wicked laugh as he signaled for his men to bind Greg to the stake. "Let's start with him," he said, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure.I wanted to rush forward and save him, but I knew it was too late. Greg was already bound, and t

Chris Pov"You two, stop right there." He ordered as we paused in our tracks."Hey, Dove." How're you doing? The man who was sneaking us out earlier said with a huge smile on his face."Do you think we will be caught?" Zeal whispered, staring at me as I shook my head."This place isn't okay for us. Two people have discovered who we are, we need to leave." I said to Zeal who nodded. "We heard that some newbies came into town today." The Dove of a man said coming towards us."Keep your cool." I urged Zeal as Virtue just stared on."We heard you came into town this evening." He said."Yes," I replied."I heard you're tourists." He said as I nodded with a smile, "You heard that right," I said."We hardly have your folks around here. Haven't you heard about us? We hardly entertain strangers." He said as I smiled."I did notice it. Probably didn't do my research well. We leave at dawn." I said as he nodded."It's okay," he said, turning to leave, as I heaved out a sigh of relief when he s

Chris Pov "This isn't right. This isn't right." I yelled, scattering my hair."This is a lie, Lucy wouldn't do this to me." I half yelled, running my hands through my hair. "You need to calm down," Clayton said."Calm down?" "Calm down?" That the girl I harbored in my home as a wife was a snake, calm down?""She destroyed my home, my pack, my family and you're telling me to calm down.""I don't even know who to trust." I spat as I went back to Jack who was struggling for his life."Who are her accomplices?" "Just Elias and I.""What about Dave? Who is he to her?" I asked again."He's just her toy, she uses him to satisfy her sexual urge." He said as I shuddered."Come with me," I said as Mr. Clayton hopped into the car."Where are we headed?" Clayton asked."To my pack house."The anger within me consumed every fiber of my being as I sped down the road toward the pack house. My grip on the steering wheel tightened, my knuckles turning white, as my foot pressed firmly on the accel

Chris Pov Lucy has always looked suspicious, but I didn't want to ever distrust my mate and not think that she was a murderer. I couldn't believe it."You also suspected her, right?" Detective Clayton asked."We had a little argument last night and I just said it, but I never knew it. The Luna of this great pack was a murderer?" "Was that why she was persuading me to drop that case and telling me it wasn't a murder case, but a suicide." I shuddered."So what are you going to do about it now?" He asked, but I was sincerely at a loss. I don't know for real.I was still in shock, it had washed over me like a tidal wave, threatening to drown me in its relentless grip. My fists clenched, and I felt the anger boiling within me, threatening to consume every ounce of rationality."And it appears she's been involved in more than just one murder." He said as I shuddered.My heart was pounding in my chest as a surge of emotions surged through me. I fought to control the anger that threatened
