Mag-log inShelly’s POVI still can't believe the amount of unrest caused by the Beta’s mate, Ariel. There are subtle whispers in the pack about her gut retching betrayal. For the first time in a long time the Octavius pack got hit so badly.“Penny for your thoughts.” Cheryl said from behind me and sat beside me on the grass.I smiled at her faintly and shook my head slightly. “How are you feeling? We haven't been seeing much of you since the happenings in the pack.”She stayed silent for some seconds staring at the beautiful sight of nature before us. “I needed time to absorb the happenings. So much has been happening in the pack. I also just discovered that it would seem like my history has been a lie.” Her last words wobbled slightly, making me stare and realize that tears were threatening to spill.“What is the matter, Cheryl?”“My mate, Byron is back and I don't know if he ever betrayed me or gave his life for me.”“We'll figure it all out.” I wrapped my arms around her in comfort. She held
Aiden’s POV“He's doing a lot better, Alpha. Whatever you did to him yesterday has greatly improved him. His wolf seemed gone at first but now he's back.” The voice of Dr. Freda flooded my ears.My head pounded so hard, it felt like a log was used to hit it severally. I groaned as I tried pushing myself to a sitting position. The light was too bright for my eyes and I had to shut them tight.“Take it easy.” Dr. Freda said from beside me, placing her hands on my chest and pushing me down.“Where am I?” I still had my eyes shut and just tried opening them for a bit.“At the pack infirmary.” Melissa’s voice echoed from beside me.“Why am I here?” I was confused.“You can't remember anything?” Melissa asked with panic clear as day in her voice.Just like a truck hit me, the painful memories bombarded me one after another. I released a loud howl in pain and several wolves answered it.“I deserve to be killed.” It was the first thing I could think of as I finally got a good look at Mellisa
Cheryl's POVI sat on the old couch in my sitting room staring at the old picture in my hands, my mate Byron hasn't left my mind since. I've been trying to get over him but it's been impossible for me. “Cheryl? Are you there?” Mellisa's voice resounded from outside. I quickly put it beneath a throw pillow beside me. I now have my memories back after Mellisa penetrated my mind. It was like I was hit with a wave of memories.“Yes, come in.” She twisted the door knob and stepped in. After getting my memories, I chose to stay in an old cottage far from everyone. I've had time to think and be by myself.She stepped in minutes and gave me a smile. “I've missed you so much.” She rushed in and gave me a bear hug.I chuckled aloud, though I don't have any kids she has warmed her way into my heart. I held her so tight.“I've missed you too little one. Where have you been?”“I've had to work things out for the funerals we have. The pack is still trying to get over what's happening. How have y
Adam's POV I sat on a chair in my room, gulping down a cup of coffee. I looked around me and saw how lonely my life is. I'm supposed to have my mate and family beside me but right now, I have nothing. A loud knock pulled me from my thoughts, “Come in.”The door is pushed open and to my surprise, Diana stepped into the room. Her perfume isn't particularly irritating but I just hate the scent of it. “What do you want?” I growled out, tired of her antics. I know that she manipulated her father to ask for the mating ceremony. She batted her thick eyelashes at me. Diana is extremely attractive for a woman but I've never just loved her. She's the perfect Luna material but that's about it.“I haven't heard from you, I thought the ceremony should be held at most tomorrow.”I spinned my head so fast in her direction. “What do you mean by that?”“Our ceremony was initially supposed to be today but it didn't just work out because of the minor skirmish. Now at least it should be held tomorrow
Mellisa's POV Shelly looked so scared and in awe at the same time. I soon got to her and held her hand. For so long I've felt alone, like I have to navigate through all these mostly alone but this makes me feel less burdened. Like I've found someone that understands me.“Let's go, we need to see glimpses of the past to piece together what is happening in our world.” I pulled her towards where everyone was headed.Once we got outside the large castle doors, flowers decorated the entire place. Like a celebration was happening.“The Crowned Prince, Demetri is finally getting officially mated today. I'm very happy for him, it would definitely weaken the strength of the witch of a queen on the throne.” A young raven haired teenager said to another, they both dressed as maids. They carried baskets of bread.“Shhhhh,” the other girl placed a finger on her lips. “The walls have ears, you know how so many have disappeared within these walls for saying even less.” The raven haired teenager r
Shelly's POV I sat beside Mellisa in the hospital room. The entire place was gloomy after the battle. I never really met Ariel but her betrayal cut deep in the pack. We won by an inch and so many wolves were mourning their own.Mellisa's parents were in the next room with the unconscious former Beta, Aiden's father. Fred was surprisingly nowhere to be found.“I'm so sorry you didn't get to rest, Shelly. We had such a long journey and a huge mess.”I shook my head and gave her a sympathetic look. She looked so torn and worn out, utterly drained. “Don't ever apologise, okay? With just spending such a short time in the pack, I'm at so much more peace than ever before.” The cats wrapped themselves around her, she held them to herself tightly. “I'm so confused as to how I never picked it. Now her weird behaviour makes perfect sense. She didn't want to attend any social events using the fact that she had a dark past as an excuse. Now it makes sense.”“You can't blame yourself for her tr
