Xander's POV

A week passed after the war.

Now Nightmare Pack was starting to come back. The wounded warriors had been tended to, the gates were mended and the families who had been terrified during the raid were making their way back to their normal lives.

After a few weeks I could leave the pack without a sense that I'm abandoning it.

That was why, on Monday morning, I decided to return to the human city and check on my company.

I found Bella downstairs with the children when I came in.

    While we were in our room, that evening, Bella caught me."You look tired."I smiled.It's been a long day I've got to say.She hurried over to me."Something happened."I didn't answer.She put her hand on my bosom."Xander."I sighed.There is a traitor in the pack," said Pat.Her eyes widened."Who?"I can't tell you, at this time.She looked hurt.You said you'd be by my side."I know."So why don't you let me in then?"I took her hands.If I'm wrong then I don't want to destroy someone's life on suspicion.She looked my face over.“So you're saying if you're correct?”That'll be up to me then.She sighed."I hate this.""So do I."Lifted her up out of her place!But they must believe me!You placed the top of her head on my chest."I do."I touched my finger to her forehead and pressed my lips to it."Good."Overnight I didn't sleep.Robert was accompanied by Ethan and some warriors.I got the message around 2 a.m. on Monday.He's leaving.I ran straight for my clothes.I dressed

    Xander's POVSome things were different in the pack.I could feel it.Everything had been changed: the war ended, Lucian was being hunted and the children were safe, but my wolf was still not at ease. I just felt like some people were watching me when I walked through the halls.I'm not supposed to turn a blind eye to that feeling!That morning, before Bella was awake, I woke up quietly, and slipped out of the bedroom. When I woke up to find Ethan outside my study with a serious look I thought that maybe he was in trouble."Alpha, I have to speak to you.I opened the door."Come in."He joined me in the house and locked it up behind."What happened?"He hesitated.The investigation led us to discover something.I looked to him."What?"One of the warriors kidnapped has begun talking.My jaw tightened."What did he say?"“He said someone was in the house,” he said.My heart sank."Who?"“He knew her name was not known to him.I stood in front of the window, moving towards it."Then fin

    Lucian's POVI'd been hiding for days.Not out of fear of the warriors.Because I was not scared of Xander.I didn't want to fail again.I never thought that after the kidnapping debacle, Xander would come to hunt me down until he had located me. There would be nowhere in the land where I could feel safe, and anything outside the little cabin would make me grab the gun next to me.I had thought that with Ayra I would finally have the power to control him.Instead, it had made all things worse.The sorceress had vanished, the ritual had gone awry and my men were captured by Xander.I had nothing left.Except one thing.The money.I unlocked the leather bag next to me, and looked at the gold coins inside.I had bartered warriors who would betray their Alpha.I had to consider whether I should try to get away with my remaining wealth or whether I should work it out and complete what I had begun.One of the coins gripped my hands.I couldn't leave.Not yet.Each time I thought of Bella, t

    I couldn't sleep last night.When I closed my eyes, I still saw Ayra sitting all alone in that cabin with tears dripping down her cheeks, yelling Bella, yelling. From there, I noticed the weird writing on the ground, and heard Lucian's confession again.At least one of your children has to be sacrificed.My blood ran ice cold at the words.I watched very closely at the bedroom window till dawn broke over Nightmare Pack. Bella was back sleeping, tired from all the things that have happened. I finished my meal and looked at her.After my meal I turned and saw her.She was now at most peace.At least, I said to her, that was something I had promised her.I didn't want another foe to steal that from me.Quickly slipped out of the room and down the stairs.Ethan was at the study waiting.You also aren't sleeping, he remarked."No."He then shut the door.The warriors involved were questioned by us.I looked towards him."And?""They confessed."My jaw tightened."How many?""Four."So where

    Xander's POVWhen I heard Bella crying out Ayra's name from within the cabin, I lost my mind.My daughter was covering her.We were in the woods for hours looking for her and then, we found her, the faint smell of her. As I looked at Lucian, standing beside her, I felt a terrible rage take over, instead of being relieved.He was placing his hand on the back of Ayra's chair and there were two warriors on his right.Ayra's eyes were raining tears and her face was flushed.She looked frightened.She looked exhausted.Then, when her eyes touched mine she stretched out toward me."Dada!"But, by the time I reached for my hands, Bella had moved already."Ayra!"She ran across the room, got to her knees and hugged our daughter. Ayra wrapped her face around the chest of Bella and cried with her little shaking shoulders!Mama I want to go home,Bella squeezed father, tightening her hands as tightly as she could.“Won't you come along we're going to take you home baby?”I observed them for a mo

    Xander's POVWe had a quiet drive back home to Nightmare Pack at first.Too quiet.The kids were in the back sleeping while Bella sat beside me looking at the view through the window. The city had gradually disappeared behind us, replaced by long stretches of road and thick forest.I must have left things more relaxed.But there was something that wasn't hollow inside me.My wolf had become restless for the past twenty minutes.I kept looking at the rearview mirror and side mirror.The vehicle of the guards was in the rear far behind, on a distance, so to say.But I knew the look that Bella saw."What's wrong?"I glanced at her."Nothing."She looked at me questioningly."You're lying."I sighed.There are some instincts that are bothering me.She was gazing at the kids.Did something happen at the "pack"?"I don't know."I took her hand in mine.That's a thing I am afraid of.She squeezed my fingers."We're almost home."I nodded."We are."There were two huge trees on the sides of t

    My wolf remained restless inside me.Asma was totally oblivious to the storm she had just caused.She looked at me with happy, hopeful eyes."Don't you think I have a chance?" she asked softly.The question struck me so much that I wasn't expecting it to hit her quite as hard.A chance?With my mat

    Bella's POV I blinked rapidly before letting out a shaky breath after realizing who it was."Asma," I muttered.But who else would knock like trying to break the door down?Another knock echoed through the apartment more louder.I rose to my feet and headed for the door.The moment I unlocked the
