“I thought we were meeting back at your place after you were out of the underground room?” he raised his brows in question, his lips thinned in an upset line.
“Sorry.” I mumbled, walking over to him, “I- I got stuffy so I thought I should take a walk.”
“A walk? Really?” he straightened, hands in pockets, glaring at me, “you have learned to lie to me too?”
Shit. I kept quiet, and started to walk back to my house.
He followed me, walking right next to me, “I am waiting for you to explain right now.”
“There is nothing to explain.”

“It is about what is going on around pack.” Adrian said, moving closer to his dad and folding his arms to lean against the table in front of him, “you don’t really believe that Lucinda attacked August for nothing, right?”Alpha Bruno gave Adrian a look that practically translated to ‘are you seriously here to waste my time with gossip?’“I would not be unphased,” Alpha Bruno shrugged, dropping the file that he was reading on the table and then facing Adrian again with indifference, “it was just a bit of burn on an omega anyway. Lucinda got angry, threw a liquid on an omega for not doing her fucking job properly or whatever. She was thrown in the cell for her mistake to learn her lesson. End of story. What is the big deal?”‘A bit burn’? Adrian’s body stiffened, but he remained in control, “That. And Kaya’s murder. Since the day Leila came to our pack, Leila and Lucinda were together the whole time. Lucinda never did anything bad until Leila came to our pack. Suddenly her behavior ch

I could not sit calmly as the fear of what Adrian was planning kept giving me a headache. Lorenzo and Leila were of course not going to sit idle, so that was another fear.Frankenswine tried to squirm out of my hold as I sat in bed, gripping him tightly to my chest.“Don’t try to run away, Frankenswine.” I grumbled, “I really, really don’t have the energy to go on a goose chase to find you too.”Like a stubborn bitch, he still kept trying to run out of my arms.I grabbed him and lifted him up to face me, “Dude, really? You can not sit still still in my lap for five freaking minutes? Whenever Adrian is here, I literally have to push you away because you stick to me like a god

I tried to keep my composure as I watched the blood drain from Leila’s face. She had obviously never even thought that she would be sharing her fiancee with someone else.It had been several years since anyone had used this title. Since werewolves preferred to marry their destined mate, it was rare when a consort was brought in the family picture as the title of consort was the second most powerful in the entire pack. Slightly inferior to Luna, but still very powerful.I would have never agreed to it when Adrian brought it up if Mom was still not in danger. I could not help but keep worrying about her well being as Lorenzo and Leila were clearly not respectful people who cared about others.So in the end I had to give in to the plan so mom could be rescued. My dignity was on the line, but I was an omega anyway. Mom was my first and last priority. As long as she was okay, I did not give a damn about what people gossiped. “Y- you can not do this to me.” Leila’s smiled like Adrian had c

The girl handed me a paper, and walked away. At first I was scared on instinct. Peter calling for me was never really a good news for me. But then I remembered what I had asked him to do and I jolted. I quickly opened the chit and read the contents.‘Saw Lorenzo going toward the waterfall in the forest, behind the mountain. I am following him. I can smell your mother’s scent.”Mom!I turned around immediately and dashed out of the pack house. I was really hoping that Lorenzo and Leila would take the bait and act irrationally. It seemed that Lorenzo had finally gotten pissed with my behavior and made his move.I was just hoping that he would not hurt mom while I get there. My heart pounded as I ran through the forest while trying to be as quiet as possible. I had been to that place before so it was easier for me to get there this time. This was the same place where Lorenzo had met me several days ago.I was just walking into the lion’s mouth without any protection. I knew that it was

“Let go of me! I am the future alpha of my pack!” Lorenzo kept on growling like a mad wolf the whole way as the guards dragged him away to the dungeon. Thankfully Adrian and Brad had come right on time to save me in the forest. Even though Lorenzo was powerful, he was not powerful enough to suppress an Alpha and a Beta blood like Adrian and Brad together.He did put up a fight, of course, but lost terribly. The guards came pretty fast to grab Lorenzo and take him away. Adrian and Brad had not been hurt so I was thankful for that. Mom, on the other hand, was so malnourished that she was not even in her senses.Ignoring Lorenzo’s screams, I and Adrian rushed mom to the hospital. She had always been thin, but the starvation from the past few days had left her looking like a skeleton with skin on her body. It hurt

Alpha Bruno gave her a look that would have burnt her for the disrespect she just showed.Leila’s face was hard, “Lorenzo never harmed anyone. Why has he been thrown in a prison?”Alpha Bruno looked displeased with Leila’s sudden appearance. She had stormed inside the alpha’s meeting room without caring about respect toward alpha.Leila looked out of her mind as her voice increased with every passing second again, “You are just trying to subdue us! We are guests here!” she shouted, her face dripping with shock as if she could not fathom how we could even think that her brother would ever commit a crime.“We are your future family, alpha! How can you throw us in y

Just like Leila had, her father also burst through the doors as if this entire territory belonged to him. His gaze was fierce, eyes wide and the thick, black long hair flying everywhere. His thin face with that evil glower was giving him Lucious Malfoy vibes except for the blonde hair color instead of black.His eyes scanned the room at once. His gaze pinned Leila in her place for several seconds. Even I was afraid of the look in his eyes. Now I understood why Leila had looked so scared at the mention of her father.He moved his eyes away and then turned to Alpha Bruno. Lips curled back in a threatening growl, he asked, “Who put my SON in the prison, Alpha Bruno?”Alpha Bruno did not even blink at Alpha Griffin’s obviously bursting anger.

Adrian and I walked back to the house. Unlike every other time, he did not hold my hand while walking. I swallowed the shiver of pain that ran through me but kept quiet. I did not want others to listen to our conversation during our walk. We were walking side by side but he kept his distance. And that small gap that he left between us, well, it sucked. If someone had said to me before that I would turn into a sappy teenager who wants to hold her boyfriend’s hand all the time, I would have laughed my ass off. Right now I wanted to cry my ass off, and that was not pretty. Adrian opened the doors to my house and went in first. “Stay here.” he ordered and walked into the house first. I watched his back as he opened all the rooms and checked behind the doors and in the closets to make sure that it was safe inside. The house was still the same as I had left it. No sign of any living being staying in the emptiness of the brick walls. Ever since mom had been kidnapped, I had not been abl
