Dylan's POVI clenched my hands at the chaos before me, my mind reeling at the sudden turn of events. More than half of my warriors were trapped inside a net that had shot up above them like a giant spider's web.I looked around then clenched my fists even harder, my anger and frustration had almost hit the roof. But I had to maintain my normal stance, any sign of faltering now may affect the spirit of the remaining warriors behind me.“What the hell is happening?” I turned to face Damon who had now taken a defensive stance.I observed his eyes widened and even his hands clenched to the weapon by his side. I now understand the strange feeling since we stepped around the area.I scanned the surrounding area, I couldn't shake the feeling that we'd been set up. Someone must have tipped off our enemy, but who? I thought back to our planning sessions, trying to remember if anyone had seemed suspicious. But everyone had seemed on board, eager to take down Georgia and whoever she had partner
Ava's POV“They get punished?” I asked, my eyes widening, “Why would he punish them for liking him?”Marietta shrugged, “That I don't know. Most people believed Alpha is a beast without a heart.” She paused looking around before adding, “Some others say he knew he'd never have a Luna, so he knew the women were all playing games. He never did anything serious with these women.” she whispered.“Why would he never have a Luna?”“You don't know the story? Even a child in this pack knows about it. Alpha was cursed by a witch.”“Cursed by a witch? Isn't that total nonsense?”“No, it isn't. Georgia isn't someone to say nonsense. Her prophecies always come to pass. She cursed Alpha to be mateless.”“To be mateless?” I scoffed, finding the whole thing funny.“It's not some joke. That was why Alpha would go to any length to bring you here. Took him a long time to finally find his mate.”“And how do you know all this?”“Duhh,” She let out while rolling her eyes. “Have you forgotten I'm Alpha's s
Dylan's POV I stood by the window, my eyes narrowed as I stared out into the distance. My mind was still reeling from the revelation from two days ago. Georgia, the enchantress who had cursed my wolf, was still out there, and I had no idea what her next move would be.I thought back to the day I had mistakenly killed my father, the former Alpha of the Moonstone pack. The guilt and shame had consumed me, and I had become withdrawn, unable to shift into my wolf form. Georgia had appeared out of nowhere, claiming she could help me. But instead, she had sought out the moon goddess, cursing my wolf to be mateless. My fists clenched as I remembered the pain and frustration I had endured. I had thought I had left all that behind me, but now I realized that Georgia was still a threat, not just to me, but to my pack and others like us.I knew I had to find her, to stop her before she could cause any more harm. But where to start? I had no idea where she was or what she was planning.Just the
Ava's POV It was already two days after the awkward meeting with Dylan in his office. He hadn't requested to see me since then and I also didn't bother to go to him.I sat on the bed in my room, feeling bored with everything going on and ruminating about my life's choices.I still didn't know maybe I made the right choice by leaving everything behind in Bloodcrest pack. Although, I had no friends in Bloodcrest, no thanks to Jake and Laura's betrayal but at least I have my mother.My hands went right beside me and I grabbed hold of my cellphone. But, I could only stare at the name, knowing the phone wouldn't be with her.It would be with one of Alpha Luke's minions or guards as he'd rather call them. He says they'd be the one doing all the calling. He still believes I might go back on my words, hence the need to use my mother to rein me in.I closed my eyes, refusing to let his actions get to me. I knew I would figure something out soon. I always did.But right now, I was bored to hel
Dylan's POVI turned my head to the door while shifting back slightly from the little wolf. She appeared to be really scared from the way her eyes popped when I asked my question.I just wanted to know why she'd run off after finding out I was her mate. But it seems she thought I was going to harm her so I have to let that be for now.Kane was the one that strolled into the office and I can't help but give him a hard glare.“I see you appear to be busy Alpha, maybe I come back later.” Kane said, his voice dripping with sacarsm as he tried not to look straight at me.I fumed inside of me. He was clearly teasing me. I could tell from the naughty smirk that formed at the corner of his lips.“Why are you here?” I went back to sit behind the desk.He scratched his head then looked at Ava who was still at the spot I left her.I immediately understand the message he was trying to pass was a private and important one. Ava must have noticed too as she immediately begin heading towards the door
Ava's POVAt the mention of rejection, my eyes shot open and I stared at him wide-eyed. Was that why he decided to use all his resources in finding me?I gulped.His grey eyes were fixated on my face, he was clearly waiting for my response.I turned my face away from him and I felt his breath fan across my cheeks.“What is this?” He reached for my hair, swinging it over my shoulders. “Who did this to you?” He demanded, his fist clenched by his side. I became silent, my eyes dropping from his fierce gaze to my feet.How could I possibly tell him Layla did all this? Would he believe his sister would do such wickedness to me?I shook my head, trying to dismiss the raging battle in my mind. I can't possibly tell him about how I was caged. Alpha Luke specifically warned me not to speak of it to anyone. Going against that can put my mother in danger. I felt his hand touch my chin and I flinched. He raised my eyes to level with his, then asked in a deep voice, “Who did this?”I swallowed
