Mira’s povI was in the arcade with Zane again. That place was so bright, and the games were so loud with kids running all over the place. It was really noisy in there but I didn't care. I liked anything that would make me forget about Kayden.Zane was playing on one of the shooting games. Her smile was evil as she focused on the fun she was having.‘I met a boy yesterday,’ she said, still staring at the screen.“Oh,” I smiled. That was quick. Was she supposed to have moved on so fast from Cameron?“He was tall. Cute too. And guess what? He said I have nice eyes.” she laughed it off.I smiled a little, but my heart wasn’t in it.Zane paused the game and turned to me. “Hey. You’re not listening.”“Yes, I am,” I said.But I wasn’t.“Mira, what the fuck? You’ve been acting weird since we got here.”I looked at her then quickly turned away, “It's nothing.” “Look,” she said again, this time softer. “Tell me what’s wrong?”“I mean… I don’t know.” I sighed. “Is this about Lucas?” She asked
Remy’s povI sank down into the chair in my study, the large one near the window. I rubbed my temples. My head was pounding again. Not from stress, no. From aggravation. There was just so much of it.My whole week had been full of meeting after meeting with pack-elders of Alpha Freya’s pack. And each one was worse than the last. I didn’t know how she did it—how she stayed here; ruled and still had any spunk left over.I shut the door. I could finally breathe. I stepped back and closed my eyes before thinking about the last elder meeting I’d been in earlier.“That’s not how we do things here, Alpha Remy.” The man had sneered.I thought about it. These people had no sense of morality. None of them had any sense of morality and it was looking barbaric. They were animals; they didn't talk or listen in polite matters, they couldn't be talked to or listened to at all.None of them would even understand that maybe things here worked on a daily basis in an orderly manner.I was deep in my tho
Freya’s povI sat down at the table, my partner Alpha Remy joining me. It had only been officially a week since we announced that we'd be running the pack together – just one short week, and I was exhausted.The dining room was quiet again. Empty except for us two. My daughters Jamie and Mira refused to join us once more. I didn't blame them. Tension had been building.I looked over at Remy. He was eating slowly, staring at his plate. I waited three seconds and said, “So? What’s do you think?”Remy took another bite of food, wiped his mouth with a napkin then glanced in my direction.“What do I think?“ he asked. “Yes. About the pack. About how we’re handling things. Do you think we should do something about it?”He inhaled deeply.“I think… your pack needs to change a lot,” he said, plain and cold.I paused, blinking. “What?”“It’s the truth.”“You can’t be serious.”“What did I say? My pack is doing pretty fine. They are disciplined. Civilized. Organized. Your pack is… not that.”I
Kayden’s povI dropped my bag on the floor and walked up to my room. It was the same as ever. The bed was made, the curtains half drawn and my sword still hanging over the fireplace.I wandered round it at a slow pace before letting out a long breath.“Finally home.” I said to myself.I had missed this place. I had missed everything here and I was so excited to be here.I hadn’t sat down before I heard a rap on the door. The door opened; my old butler shuffled in, bowing only a little."It's ok," I replied, waving my hand."hope your trip was ok?" he asked."It was... long." I answered and folded my arms on the bed. The butler entered, pretending to be careful, his gaze sweeping quickly the room.“Well, we cleaned everything like you asked before you got here. I hope it’s okay to your taste.”“It’s good enough,” I told himHe nodded.“Since most of the workers are with your father and I had to stay here with minimal workers I had to do most of the chores myself.”“You cared for the e
Mira’s povI stood before the mirror and ran a hand through my hair as I thought of what to wear. The room was filled with beautiful lights from the sun and it gave me a feeling that told me that nothing could go wrong b today.A knock on my door came off as I sighed.“Who is it?” I said as I didn’t look up, continuing to brush my hair.“You have a message,” the guard outside said as I rolled my eyes.I opened the door and saw the guard handing me a sealed envelope.“What is it?” I asked as he bowed.“It is from master Kayden,” he said.“Kayden sent a letter?” I sighed. “He should have gone himself. Why didn’t he?”“I don’t know. He gave it to us at the gate before he left. Said we should give it to you.”My heart sped up. “Wait… left? What do you mean, left?”“He’s the one that left the pack,” the guard explained. “He went back to his home pack with the rest of them.”I froze. “What? Why?”Guard looked uncomfortable. “I don’t know why. I’m just delivering the message.”I nodded slowl
Kayden’s povThe guard nodded seriously. “Yes sir. Right away.”I watched him run off, swallowed by the palace stairs. Then I climbed back into the car and closed the door.The warrior studied my face, blocking my path. “Who was the letter for?”I closed my mouth. He didn’t have a right to know everything about me.“None of your business,” I responded flatly. “The travel is all that matters.”He smirked and motioned towards our driver as the car left.I looked out of the window as the trees blurred past. I would miss this place. Only a few days and I was already about to miss it here. Was I growing soft?My phone buzzed. I glanced at it.Lena.I made a face.I tapped the screen, and there was her message. A photo. Another one of her ridiculous photos. She was practically naked.I sighed, hovered my finger over the delete button for a single second, and then pressed it.“Is she still sending you those?” the warrior asked me without so much as glancing in my direction. I turned my head
