AXEL.I stroked my beard, navigating the cage through the forest path. My mind was heavily perturbed by the things that could be happening now. Chase had just put Jadon on the phone a few minutes ago and he said they were trying their best to put the rogues at bay but it was getting harder. We were already a couple hours on the road but we were getting closer and closer. The guards were racing towards us in the car while Damon led us. He was racing madly as well. I couldn't imagine what would be going on, especially one of the guards getting hurt or being killed. Rogues were very ruthless, no doubt. They ended Packs if they had the chance. They killed everybody and made sure that nobody was left alive. So it was not a surprise when my Beta said it was getting harder and harder to keep them at bay. I wondered if we could get there before the rogues had their way in. That was the worst thing that could happen. I didn't see them diapering over the Pack, attacking the people, and on so
AXEL.Without any other word, the three of us quickly made our way to the Packhouse, not knowing what he had seen and wanted to show me now."Some of the rogues sneaked in by the way." Jadon said, sounding ninchallsmt like it was nothing. I turned towards him, stopping on my tracks and looking at him with my eyes wide open in shock. "What?" I asked him. He nodded before he added. "But we killed every single one of them. That's why they attacked before you people arrived. The gate was open and the guards were busy with something when they snuck in but one of our tracers was quick enough to notice the strange movements and report immediately." He said, making my palpitating heart quieten immediately. "You got me there." I said, before managing a small chuckle. "How many were they?" I asked. "Three," he replied. "They reached the Packhousе though and caused a bit of trouble. And one of your friends came around. He said his name is David." Jadon said as we stopped for a moment. The
CHASE. I was still a bit sore after the fierce encounter between Davon's men and us. A few collisions with some of his warriors had caused me soreness in some parts of my body but I couldn't neglect the things that faced me. The first thing to do was get Ella and Aria before proceeding to Damon's office to thank him for his help. I knew pretty well that he must have heard the outcome of the war and would be quite proud of his guards. None of them sustained a scratch so the battle was a very easy one. I squeezed myself into the car before I turned it on and raced down the asphalt, hitting the accelerator. It was evening already and I knew that we might be spending the night there unless they wanted to come back to our Pack that night. I got there when it was already eight. Getting down down the car, I walked straight to our quarters. The door was locked when I knocked. After some seconds, the door opened to reveal Aria who looked quite happy. Her face broke into a smile once she sa
AXEL.He swallowed, looking at me before he began to speak. "This might sound unbelievable but-" He was interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching us. I looked back to see Aria walking towards us in her red dress, she looked great and her stylists had done a perfect job. But the moment she saw David, the light died out of her face instantly and in its place was a very very look. My brows came together as I tried to understand what had just happened. The look in her face now suggested that something very bad was going to happen and it had to do with David because he was the only person she was looking at now, an expression of unwavering disgust filling her features. I followed her line of sight and looked at David who looked very angry as well. The tension began rising again, and I wondered if they knew each other before. She stopped right in front of us before looking up at me, visibly troubled. "What is going on here?" She asked me, her voice loud and clear, like a rumble
ARIAI was getting more and more worried when I didn't see any of my mates at the ceremony. There were a lot of Pack members present and they were the ones delaying the whole thing. I had mindlinked Chase to know what was happening but he told me to hand on that they were on their way. I nodded and continued to wait but after some time, I decided to go check out what was happening. I didn't know what was happening. I wondered if it had to do with that crook, David. I carefully made my way through the hallway, hoping that something had not gone wrong. But my mind told me otherwise. I knew something was wrong because one of them ought to have been there already while we waited for the others. The maids bowed curtly as I walked towards Chase's chambers. The guard standing in front of the door told me he wasn't around. I thanked him with a smile and left for Damon's chambers but I still got the same story from his personal guard. I shook my head in building frustration and began to walk
ALPHA DAMON.I was seated alone in my chamber, thinking about the things that had transpired in the past few days, things that had the gears turning in my head. My friend's words were still imprinted in my mind and there was no way I could get them out no matter how hard I tried.And the idea that my best friend might be harboring such suspicions about Aria was very hard to digest. I didn't know who to trust and how this situation was going to be handled but I knew I had to take my time and make the best possible move. And there had been too many strange happenings as of late, too many things that puzzled my mind with no prospect of being solved. I was still thinking about my next move when the door creaked open. Aria walked in, bolting the door behind her. Her presence made me startled, but I quickly pushed the thoughts away, not wanting to look weak before a woman. Her smile was like the rays of the sun in the summer. They seemed to unlock something deep within me. Something I
ARIA. "I want a sparring session immediately. I want to give you warriors a chance to train together and showcase your skills." The booming voice resounded across the agora. Everyone stopped immediately and began to do as the Alpha had commanded. Of course the warriors had to know each other's weaknesses and it had to be addressed before any kind of war. Sometimes I wondered how I had slowly merged and joined the Pack since I left my evil mates. The fire for vengeance was still burning brightly in my heart but I was still gathering my plans. Ever since Alpha Damon reduced me a month ago from the rogues, I had been healing. And he had allowed me to join the rest of the Pack and participate in any activity that I wanted. I was happy here and no longer wanted to go back to those effeminate bustards who couldn't even protect themselves. I couldn't wait to have my revenge on them and prove them wrong but I needed the time to get back on my feet. The sparring session soon went underwa
ALPHA DAMON.I was still very bitter and ashamed over what had happened back there at the pack training. The shock and the shame still held onto me like a leech, refusing to let go. I was alone in my chamber, and it was at that moment that I realized that I had been staring into the distance for a very long time, oblivious to my surroundings and birdied in the past. The bitter taste of defeat was still in my mouth. It was like a very bitter lull to swallow. There was no way it had happened, I said to myself, still finding it unbelievable. And the guards and my general even had the guts to praise her and clap and cheer after she had defeated me. I knew I had to do something about it, I knew I had to stroke back. But striking back, I thought, wasn't going to be the ideal thing. It was just going to end up causing a sense of confusion between us and I didn't want anything like that now. I wanted to take it slowly until I had figured out the vest best to deal with it. I couldn't help bu
