Sirella’s povThe night was quiet. The moon was high. My hands held the reins of the horse tightly. I rode beside Kieran. We both were silent, focused. We were ready.“Are you ready for this?” Kieran asked me as he looked at me.I nodded slowly. “Yes. I will kill him myself.”Kieran looked ahead. “Good. We ride in first. The others will follow. We catch him off guard.”The pack behind us moved like shadows. Quiet. Deadly. The plan was simple. Hit hard. Kill fast. No mercy.As we got close to Salvatore’s pack border, I whispered, “For my child. For my mother. For my pain.”Kieran looked at me again. “For all of it.”We crossed the border and headed straight into the heart of Salvatore’s land. The guards were not ready. We moved quickly. I shifted mid-air, claws out, my wolf form leaping at one guard. He screamed once, then silence.Kieran went ahead. He took down two with a single swipe. The rest of the fighters came in behind us.“Push forward!” Kieran shouted. “Don’t stop until we re

Kieran’s povI entered the room to see the elders seated already.They were worried about what was going on.They looked tired too.“Thank you for coming,” one of them said.“Sure, why was this meeting called? I’m here to win.”Another elder nodded slowly. “We understand. We also want to win. But Salvatore is dangerous.”I leaned forward. “I know that better than anyone. He took my child. He tried to kill me. I won’t forgive him. I won’t forget.”One elder cleared his throat. “We’ve seen what he’s done. He’s bold now. He thinks we are weak.”“We are not weak,” I said. “We’re just too slow. That’s the problem.”They looked at each other. One of them spoke again. “Do you have a plan, Kieran?”“Yes,” I said. “It’s brutal. It’s dangerous. But it will work.”The room got quiet.I pulled out a rolled paper from my jacket and opened it on the table.“This,” I said, “is the plan. I want everyone to listen and not speak until I’m done.”They nodded.I pointed at the drawing on the paper. “Salv

Sirella’s povThe guards moved fast as I watched them drag them away.Kieran stood beside me. “You did good,” he said.“I had to,” I whispered. “I couldn’t lose you too.”He looked at me with soft eyes. “You won’t,” he said. “Not as long as I breathe.”One of the guards called out. “Alpha! We found a crest!”Kieran walked over. I followed behind.The guard held up a cloth taken from inside one of the assassin’s sleeves.Kieran frowned as he saw the insignia.“Salvatore.”Of course it was him.“He sent them,” Kieran growled. “He wants to play dirty I see.”“He can’t. We caught him.”“He can’t. Not if we stay strong.”Kieran nodded. He turned to the guards again.“Take them to the cellar. Keep them alive. I’ll deal with them when the sun rises.”“Yes, Alpha.”He turned to me again and placed a hand on my shoulder. “Come,” he said. “Let me treat your wounds.”“I’m fine—”“Please.”I nodded.We then walked to the room as the guards dragged them away.Inside his room, Kieran cleaned my cut

Sirella’s povI watched him closely, how he moved. He was like a shadow – swift, sleek and silent. He explained to me how I hold a dagger, how to project it at someone, how I creep up behind another and make none of the sound.‘It makes me feel like -,’ I paused, having noticed his grin when I’d managed to retract my hand fast enough from the blade as not to slice through my skin. ‘Powerful.’He grinned. “You’re learning fast.”I prided myself on practicing those moves over and bloody over until I couldn’t fail. Kieran never screamed at me. He never teased. Kieran was kind. He put his hands on me with lightness, and when he spoke to correct, the words were always soft.“You’re not weak, Sirella,” he said over and over again. “You were simply never shown how to be strong. But I’m changing that.”I started to believe him.One night, we were walking back to the main house where we were staying and all of the people in the pack bowed to us as we walked passed. They called me “Luna” becau

Salvatore’s povThey looked at each other, surprised.“Kieran and my daughter, Sirella, are with Donovan’s people now,” I told them. “They are building an army. They want to fight me.”“Alpha,” one of the generals said, “that is not good news. Kieran is strong. He has defeated many.”“He is only one wolf,” I said coldly. “And Sirella is only my child. I made her. I can break her.”They nodded before one of them spoke up.“But we shouldn’t underestimate him. Kieran is not a normal fighter.”“I know that,” I said. “But i have something he wants. I have his son.”I nodded. “Yes. The child that Sirella gave birth to. That child belongs to me now. He will grow under me. I will make him a king.”“What is the plan, Alpha?” another general asked.I turned to the big map on the wall. I pointed to Donovan’s pack land.“We will move from the west,” I said. “We’ll block the river path and cut off their food supply.”“Yes, Alpha.”“We will send spies,” I continued. “I want to know what Kieran is p

Kieran’s pov “We should go,” I told sirella quietly when the messenger was gone.She shook her head. “But why do they want you to be alpha? Why not one of their own?”“They want someone strong. Someone who has fought Salvatore. Someone who is not afraid of him,” I told her. “They want victory. And they think I can lead them to it.”“But you want to lead them?” she questioned.I took a pause then answered, “I don’t really care about leading a pack. I just want our son back. And this might be the best way.”She carried on walking for a couple of seconds before turning around. “If you go through with this, though, people will want more from you Kieran – you’ll be going up against Salvatore sure, but then you’ll also have a pack to guard.”She smiled a little. “You always say the right things.”“It’s why you like me,” she laughed. ”But it’s better than hiding here while that monster raises our child like a weapon.”Her gaze fell to the polished floor, and she nodded. "I don't put all m

AMELIA I woke up feeling weak, I had been feeling weak for so long, but this felt new. I was also in a different environment, because it certainly wasn't my room. Events of yesterday flashed through my eyes like a dream of the night -- events! I sat up quickly, making my head sway a little, and I fought a bout of dizziness before I could concentrate. Percy had carried me outside under the moon, he had slit my vein and his to and let our blood touch. I remembered the pain, the pain which remained filled in me like a dull ache -- and then Percy had let me dtink from him. I drew up my knees to my shoulders, and rested my head on my folded arms trying to keep in the little warm I still had. Percy had done something very significant to me yesterday night, and he had not even bothered to explain what it was -- I had not even asked. I had simply trusted him, trusted that within that cold exterior, he had a heart. I could not even understand why, but I wanted to win his heart -- and

PERCYSomething seemed a bit off with the party. Usually at parties, I was calm and relaxed, but my wolf seemed to be telling me something, my wolf seemed to be on the alert, like there was a potential battle ahead although I did not sense any Vampires. Relegating my more canine nature to the background, I focused on the present. A few people seemed genuinely happy to see me, I had been away from much human contact for a while. The rest of the people seemed only happy I had shown up, and so they did not waste their best appearance. I did not even understand why everyone based so importance on hanging out with me. It was not as though I was some filthy - rich millionaire's son, or like I still played basketball professionally -- and only my crew knew I was an Alpha,very few humans even knew about Werewolves. There was just that unmistakable pull to me from the crowd, humans loved to gather around me, to do my bidden. I really didn't care about any of them though -- as long as they

PERCY I carried Amelia to my room and lay her on my bed. She still looked a bit under weight, but the lustre to her beauty had returned. Her dark hair fanned out all over my pillow in it's glorious curls, and her cherry bud lips were slightly parted as she drew in air in a belaboured way, her brows were slightly puckered even in sleep. She would be in this weakened state for over a week, or possibly longer. I had never known a human mated before, but hopefully she was more Vampire than human -- I didn't also know there was a day I would wish for that. She stirred again in her sleep and her delicate features twisted in pain. The moon goddess was still opening her up to me, her darkest secrets -- as it was, the few secrets she had were a petty quarrel with one of her cousins or childish anger at her Dad. I wondered if she would be able to take the weight of my own secrets, because they were weighing even me down. Even though Amelia had no real secret, the process still had to

AMELIA The Alpha pushed me away from him then, violently. So that I stumbled backwards and would have fallen if my back did not hit a tree behind me. I tried to close my eyes to the pain that threatened to tear me apart, but even shutting my eyes hurt. I wondered if this was a new torture technique, or if I felt this way because I still hadn't fed in a long time. I found I could not stop staring into his eyes, eyes that screamed of how much he hated me, and yet demanded that he own me. His very being seemed to be fighting to take possession of mine, to own the very breath of my nostrils, and inspite of myself, I laughed weakly. Who was I to deny him access? He had already owned me from the moment I had seen him at the frat party. I drew in a breath and surrendered myself to the pain and the subtle pleasure. If it killed me then I'd die happy knowing one thing -- that I'd forever belong to the Alpha Percy King. Surprisingly, the pain stopped sooner than I thought it would,

AMELIA Percy recovered quickly enough to pick me up again, but this time, his arms around me where so stiff, and I tried not to relax against the warmth of his chest. I still did not know where he was taking me, but I did not ask again. I was just tired of fighting, I could not fight him forever. I was tired of always having to watch his emotions. One moment, he would be furious with me and mistreating me, and the next he would be kissing me. Sometimes, he did not bother to stem his fury before he touched me, so that I tasted his anger, his disgust when he rammed his lips against mine. I placed my head against his heart and listened to the thudding of his heart, it was oddly soothing. I was cold and very hungry, and I needed all the comfort I could get. One thing was certain, he was the better fighter, the stronger one and at one point or another, I was going to have to submit to him in both pleasure and pain. I could oy hope he did not choose to bring me much pain. We reach

The night's air blew a whiff of the scent of roses to me, and for some reason, it reminded me of the long, empty, dusty hall I had just been in with the grandmaster of the Thinkers. That was odd since I had not noticed any scent of roses while I had been there, only acrid dust -- then it hit me! The only connection between roses and the empty grandmaster's hall was Valerie. I stopped running immediately as though I had suddenly run into a wall. Valerie. Why was her name coming up a lot in my mind today, and what could be the connection! But that was not a question I was asking myself, because I already knew the answer. The first time I had spoken with Valerie, she had led me into an empty dust-covered mathematics lab, and there had been roses. It could have been a coincidence that the Thinkers happened to like dust -- or maybe they were not even particular about dust, maybe that was just the place that was available for them, yet Valerie was becoming linked with the thinkers and

Freya’s povThe way he was talking made me almost fall for his words. “Hey,” he smiled. “You still don't want to do anything with me I see.”I chuckled, getting him to get to his feet as i sighed. “I just… i just want to do something else you know.”He stared at me for a while before a knock came on the door, distracting us.It felt like he didn’t want to let me go as we stared at each other for a while. But then the knock came again as he looked at me.“You have to go take that,” he said.As I sighed, I was already too tired to go anywhere. But either way, I had no choice. I got up and went to open the door as I found Beth standing there.“Beth!” I said in shock. “How… what are you doing here?”She stared at me with a smile as I nervously chuckled. I was not expecting her here and it was shocking she had chosen to show up now.“I just… wanted to come say hi. I heard about you… incident.”“How did you know?”But she smiled. “I got my information from some sources.” I nodded. “Can I c

Freya’s pov“Shhh,” I hushed her, shutting her up, “Don’t say anything or else it’s going to cause problems.”“What do you mean? The entire pack is supposed to know about this secret. Why do us in the inner circle need to keep this a secret anyway? If my sister had been kidnapped, trust me, the entire pack would know about this.”“But she wasn’t. Now listen to me. We just need to keep this secret. If the Alpha wanted people to know when he had done the whole speech, he would have given it up. But he’s doing something about it.”“Doing what?”“I have no idea.”She gave me a smile. “You are defending him.”I turned to her sharply. “What?”“You are defending him.”I shook my head. “No, I’m not. I’m just telling you the truth or what the beta would say.”She nodded. “That’s what he will say. And that’s him defending Zac. But you are defending him out of something else. Something tells me you are falling for Zac.”I scoffed. “No way. I’m not falling for that.”But she kept on staring at me

Mark’s pov“You need to explain further,” I said to him. “You can’t just show up in my office and just drop that kind of bomb on me without me thinking something is up. So, tell me, has he said anything that is dangerous?”“Not yet.” “Then why are you telling me all of this?”“When you left after talking to us, I felt he was planning something. Like a war due to his position being taken away.”“What kind of war?” I said, relaxing in my seat while clasping my hands on my stomach.“Let’s be honest, Beta Mark, Elder Thomas is a very ambitious man.”“I know that. That is not a lie. That is the truth.”He smiled. “And ambitious men, from all history books and history songs, they tend to do things that are questionable. That means that if he wants the throne, he can have the throne only due to the Alpha allowing him to do so. And if the Alpha is weak, he can be able to have whatever he wants. I’m just here to tell you so that whatever he’s planning, you will stop it and nip it in the bud b

Mark’s povThe moment I got into my office, I found someone by the window.“What the hell?” I gasped.She turned to me and smiled. “Came to see where you work?”“No. You shouldn’t be here. The alpha can sense you.”“Relax. It’s not like he knows I’m here.”I quickly moved to where she was standing as I held her wrist in a very hard way, which had her wincing in pain.“The Alpha can sense everyone in the back house. It can sense emotions. You have no idea the power Zac has over this entire pack.”She removed her hands forcefully from mine as she stared at me in anger.“I was tired of being locked up in that room. And besides, you promised me a new identity.”“I did,” I nodded my head. “But this is not the place to do it. You are not to be here. You are not to be seen by either the Elders or the Alpha. They know who you are. They know that you are one of the Circus People. And the moment the Elders know that you are here, they will use you as a weak link. It’s why I locked you in my roo

Thomas’s pov
I looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping. “We’ll take it up like that. Handle the cases the way we need to handle it and move on with life. We don’t need to fight a losing war against the alpha.”
They exchanged glances and nodded as we all went back to eating.
I then looked across the field and saw Sarah the pack healer with someone.
I noticed that the person she was talking to was Freya… the random girl who had somehow come into this pack. I remembered her from the past. She and Alpha Zac had a history, but I didn’t know what kind of history they both had.
Either way, I didn’t care. After all, I didn’t really focus on random people like that. 
She was receiving special treatment with her daughter. I wanted to know why.
“I’ll be back,” I got up and crossed the field to meet her.
She turned to me and frowned.
“Hello,” I gave my best political smile. “Can I talk to you?”
“You.” She growled.
Her frown caught me off guard. “I’m sorry. Did an

Thomas’s povI tried to keep my calm as I could feel his aura getting harsh. I had to be careful of what I said to not antagonize him.Deep inside me, my wolf warned me of the possible future of that circus thing being a failure. But I had been too stubborn to listen. Now it had backfired on me and everything was going to shit.I took in deep breaths as I had to control myself.“Look, I am sorry for everything that might have happened to your sister or your family member, but let’s be very honest, I didn’t know that they were going to kidnap people.”He scoffed. “Yes, that’s what the other elder said. But here’s the thing, you all knew that they were having people for cheap labor, right?”I nodded. “Yes, I knew about that. But in my own defense, I had no idea that they were going to kidnap people. I was thinking that they might just call you for an interview, and if you don’t like how much you are going to be paid, then you’ll be let go. I didn’t know they were kidnapping people and I
