Rio's POV I've never experienced something like this before in a very long time, the last time my pack was attacked, I was away in the university, that was probably my saving grace from being killed.Although, I've been living with the guilt that I would have probably done something to save my family, and save my brother's daughter from being killed. West, being the formidable brother, made me understand that there's nothing I could have done to save them, and rather, I might have lost my life in the process. He said that he's grateful I wasn't around when it happened.West has always shouldered the pack and our family, he was away on a business trip but Beta Sage, my father and some fighters in the pack were able to kill more of the crescent pack people including their Alpha.Ragnar have instructed me to search for Willow and Beta Sage by myself, he gave me some of his men to work with, he had to appoint some of his men in the crescent pack as informants and we are going to get to t
Aria's POV West was barely responsive, whatever might have been in his drink must have been very deadly, it's been five moons since the attack, the pack is back to its usual state and Ragnar has helped move West back to his den and everybody have gone back to their usual responsibility, those that were sent to capture me have been subdued and Ragnar have moved them all to a different dungeon, somewhere him, Rio and I are aware of, his men are the ones guarding that dungeon. Another guard that stays in the first dungeon made us to understand that West and Sage brought in a prisoner the day Beatrice and I came to interrogate Tim, when the prisoner was brought out, I came face to face with Deckard, the Beta of Crescent pack, how is it that he's here, although he wasn't kept together with Tim, he was in the other side of the dungeon, but does that mean that Sage did not betray the pack?The doctor that attended to West said the West soul would need to be brought out, it's lurking beneath
Aria's POV By the time we returned to the other pack members in the forest, it was almost very late into the night, almost dawn.“You do have a special power aside from being a werewolf, you know that right?” I was taken aback by Ragnar's statement, he simply muttered it to just my hearing alone, I stiffened and was so surprised by the shift of discussion. I choose to ignore him and settle down on the ground to rest a little, when it's day break, we have a lot to do, so I might as well catch an iota of sleep by now.“You can't afford to shift on your own for now, because you need guidance, but I think we can work with your special power for the meantime.” He told me.Already agitated by everything that's happening, and nervous about the plan that we came up with. “Can you stop it? I have no idea what you are talking about,” I hissed at him, whispering and choosing my words carefully.“The gash in my chest would beg to differ,” he said.“You don't have to be shy about it, see it as m
Willow's POV Going back to convince Tim that I'm ready to join hands with him to take down the Bloodmoon pack most especially Aria and West was very difficult to achieve. His request became surplus and I was tempted to damn the whole thing, but whenever I remember that a mere prisoner, someone from nowhere wants to take over a position that I've worked for, staying by West's side through thick and thin, I just decided to continue.“Bale goes into town most Thursday's, he stays in the Pluto hotel, you can find him in the bar there in the evening,” Tim told me, I paid rapt attention to him, Thursday and in the bar, what's an alpha of a pack doing there, I thought to myself.“What is he doing there?” I decided to ask him.“How's that any of your business, is that the reason we're here?” He asked me, I became livid with anger, just because I decided to work with him does not mean that I would stay and allow him to talk to me anyhow.I held him by the neck, I made sure that my claws were
Willow's POV I'm sure it has happened, I feel conflicted but I tried to put the guilt behind me, I can't have this double thought, the Alpha can't just sideline me in this manner, I deserved more than the way he treated me, now I'll have it, with West out of the way and my father possibly on his way to Africa by now, I'm sure the Bloodmoon pack has crumpled.I started plotting all this the night Aria made West tell me to my face that she was his mate. I have never been more humiliated and treated with disdain like that day, coupled with the number of times that the Alpha outrightly shunned me because of how I addressed that vermin. One certain night when I went to see the prisoner, he could sense that I was angry with Aria from the very first time that Aria was brought to the dungeon to see him. All of West's focus was on Aria that day. He ignored me like I don't exist and even openly reprimanded me, which is something that he doesn't always do, I was ashamed and embarrassed.“You c
Aria's POV “He's still breathing and he's alive, but he needs to be treated as soon as possible,” I said to the omega, whom I still don't know his name. I could hear the collective relief amongst everyone that's present in the forest.They all sounded so relieved and it was at that moment I figured how relieved I am as well.“Omega? What's your name?” I asked, he looked up at me in surprise.“You don't know the Omega's name?” Beatrice asked me and I simply nodded at her, not in the mood to strike up a conversation.“I'm Ragnar, Luna” he responded.“Do you mind calling me by my name?” I asked him.He looked at me dead in the eyes, without blinking, “I'll do no such thing,” he said without preamble.He's as stubborn as they come but also loyal.Ragnar stood to his full height, nodded at Rio, who also stood up, “Elder Lucius and Beatrice, please look after those that are here, I will take a walk with the Luna and Rio to discuss some things,” Ragnar said addressing the elder that sat the
