Lucy's POVNothing was a secret to me, not as long as I was in this pack. The moment Phil left the dungeon, I found my way in. It was easy to convince the guards even with just a little tip. He let me in to see Drew without question.I set my eyes on the trainer. Drew, I had thought he was good looking when I came back to the pack, but now he looked rather awful. Where did all the cuteness disappear to? The bruises on his face were so unexplainable.“What do you want?” he asked.I put my hands behind my back and paced around the dungeon. I strode towards him. “I won't be here for long.” I take a slow look at the cell. “It stinks of blood and sweat in here anyway,” I tell him, wrinkling my nose.“You say I'm dangerous. Why would you bring me into your mess? Trying to make me look bad in the Alpha's eyes.”Drew scoffed, like what I had said was anything close to being funny. “I see your guilt wouldn't allow you to stay put in your room but instead you go around prying.”I hated his gut
Phil's POVThe pack elders requested to meet with me after sunrise, and I knew it was concerning the recent death of my guard, Caleb. Not that his life mattered to them but this occurrence could lead to another, something worse and we had to prepare for it.The pack hall was quiet, and the elders had surrounded the usual table. Alpha Felix couldn't hold his curiosity for too long. He leaned forward in his seat, watching me until I took my seat.“How long do you intend on keeping the traitor alive?” he asked. Not only was I irritated by his question but I also had no idea what to do with Drew.Everything Lucy told me about him seemed to be believable. But a part of me knew Drew, even as a teenager we bonded quickly. Would he work his way to this point only to betray me?“That shouldn't be the question here.” Councilman Jake chimed in. “We want to know how and why you think that man is a traitor. Who does he work for? I mean if there's a bigger enemy in this situation. We should be worr
Vera's POVThe pack hall boomed with loud instrumentals as some of the pack women danced to the slow beat.Phil wasn't looking my way, it seemed like his mind was somewhere else, not on Lucy at least, just spacing away until suddenly he stood up from his seat and walked away.I stood up and followed him.“Phil,” I called out to him.He didn't bother to stop or turn around. “Go back to the feast, Vera.” He instructed.I followed him still, trying to catch up to his quick steps. “I'm not going anywhere until you tell me why you are behaving so strangely towards me.”He didn't say a word, he just kept walking down the hallway like I wasn't there. I got to him and held his arm. He stopped but didn't look at me.“What’s wrong with you?”I asked.He finally turned to look at me. “Do you want to know the answer to that or do you just want to know what's going to happen to your lover?” He said and I couldn't believe him.I pulled my hand free, feeling a mix of hurt and confusion. "Is this stil
Vera's POVSomething inside me broke the moment Phil introduced a breeder to the people. I felt worthless on the spot and now sobbing on my bed wasn't going to change anything.“I hate you so much, Phil. I hate you.” I sobbed, drowning in my tears, hitting the soft bed angrily. I looked away from the ceiling when suddenly a piece of paper slipped under my door.I walked towards my door, cleaning my eyes. It was a letter from Drew. I opened the door, scared that someone might have seen him do this. But no one was in the hallway.I opened the letter and it was just words that could calm me down. “Don't waste your tears on him.” he wrote. But this letter only intensified my fear for his sake. Phil had warned him not to come closer to me but Drew was being adamant.I continued reading the letter and Drew wanted to meet me. According to him he had something important to tell me before the feast began.Suddenly there's a knock on my door. I squeezed the paper immediately. “Who's it?”“Luna,
Phil's POVShe was hurting, it was evident in her expression. Her eyes flooded with tears but somehow she didn't burst it all out. Somehow, I feel my decision was the best for everyone, including for Vera.A part of me hated that I had hurt her with the public announcement but another part of me felt so fulfilled because of how she had disrespected me by having something to do with my trainer.“A feast will be held tonight to welcome Lucy, not only as my breeder but as a member of the pack,” I announced, all eyes cast on Lucy as she stood there, flaunting herself with poise.“Jacob, I'll leave things to you,” I said without looking at Jacob by my side.“While the rest can leave, and prepare for the feast.” Before I could even finish the sentence, Vera took off before everyone else.I stood up from my seat, watching Vera leave in a hurry. I walked down the few steps in front of me and went closer to Lucy.“Shall we?” I stretched my hands forward to Lucy, she smiled and placed her hands
Lucy's POVNever did I ever expect him to show himself around here, taking the risk to come to a place he resents so much. I snapped out of my moment of disbelief and went towards the door, locked it.“What…what are you doing here?” I asked, still stunned by his presence.“Isn't it obvious?” He asked calmly, sitting on a cushion.“I don't understand.”“Well let me make it clear, Anna. You've been making the wrong moves for the past few days, which isn't a part of our plan.”“What do you mean?” I asked, irritated with fury. “I'm doing everything right.” I paused. “And why are you even stalking me? You have no right to stalk me.”“I’ll stalk you as much as I want. And if I wasn't stalking you. How would I have known about your stupid move? Letting your guard down while you killed someone? You will ruin everything if you keep being irrational.”I scoffed. “I got it covered.”He stood up from the table and walked towards me. He was so close but no matter what, I couldn't see the face behi
