Alana’s POV.The door opened again some hours later, ushering in one of the guards. "I'm here to accompany you to the judgement hall"My heart skipped an unhealthy beat at his word and i dung my nails into the palm of my hands to stop myself from visibly shaking.I gave a stiff nod, swallowing the lump that had formed in my throat before stepping forward and he turned and began to lead the way.More guards were stationed outside the room and more along the hallway. It's obvious someone was anxious that i might escape even though i had no intention towards it. If Kai wanted me to be put to death for something i didn't do then so be it. I'd embrace his judgment in good fate. It’s not like I have anything else to live for anyways.We arrived at the judgement hall where everyone including Kai was gathered. Older men and women, little children, faces I was seeing for the first time. Most of them were talking in low voices as they laugh and point at me with disgust. Some simply stared wit
Alana’s POV I winced as he kept his pressure on my wrist even tighter, his nails digging into my flesh painfully. "You’re lucky the alpha didn’t execute you like you deserved but I have no stress doing him the favor" His words tore through my heart like a dagger. The gripping fear i felt earlier began to morph into something else as i was overcame with rage. My nails that were short and covered in dirt began to elongate into sharp claws and without a second thought, I swept it across his face, wiping off the stupid smug grin he had going on. Gabriel was taken unawares, a surprised shriek tore through his mouth, his hold on me completely released and I landed back on my feet. While he was still cradling the spot I had slashed at him, I quickly grab one of the dead log on the ground and hit him over the head as hard as i could, the impact strong enough to send him stumbling backward a couple of yards. "I rather die than let you touch me, you piece of shit" I spat in contempt at the
Kai's POVI collapsed against the chair beside my mother's unconscious form on the clinic bed with hands clenched into tight fist, grief overwhelming me in a rapid wave and leaving me in a momentarily choke hold.I tried to feel numb to the pain that was consuming me on the inside but failed at the very last moment.The raw pain coursing through me felt endless, swallowing me whole. This is an injury i don't think i would ever be able to heal from.I was heart broken, my heart shattered into a million tiny pieces and bleeding. The weight of the decision i had been forced to take would forever hunt me in my dreams and every waking hour.Why……why did she do it? I could never wrap my head around it no matter how hard i tried. How could i have been so stupid to believe she was different and good. I was just starting to know her, getting her to relax around me and heck, she did, at least she did.She was perfect._ her small hand fitted into my large ones perfectly. Her shy smile, the sound
Kai's POVI stood there completely torn between anger and pain, my heart breaking all over again at the realization.Alana was really gone. I'm such a fool not to have believed her. Heck, i saw the way she looked at me. How scared she was back at the hall but i still let her down. I let out a frustrated growl, my clenched fist meeting the opposite wall hard. The pain i felt from the impact is nothing compared to the one coursing through my chest. I hurried out the door and towards the open field but stopped in my tracks when i noticed someone following me from behind."What's up, Alpha. Where are you going?” I turned around to find my Beta/Best friend, Adam standing there, his eyes narrowing at my restless demeanor suspiciously."I'm going after my mate and Gabriel"His eyes widen, "What? I mean, why? I thought she was banished and sent out of the pack by you""I was wrong! everyone was fucking wrong! She is innocent and i didn't believe her" I said, the last part coming out in a qu
Alana’s POVI jolted awake, my heart pounding in my chest as i gasped for breath. Beads of sweat tricked down my body drenched in fear. My head feels heavy and my mind a blank space.Was i dead? somehow, I had expected my death to be painful and quick but instead, I find that i was rather comfortable and breathing. Is this what afterlife feels like?As the haze of sleep finally lifted from my eyes, I realized with a shocking jolt that i was lying on a soft surface and even covered with a warm fur. As i lay there trying to steady my racing heart beat and wondering where the hell I was, the room suddenly felt suffocatingly small. The walls seemed to be closing in on me.I needed air, space to breathe and make sense of the chaos that had consumed my life. Just as i attempted to swing my legs over the edge of the bed, two strangers, a male and a female entered the room, their presence both comforting and unsettling.The female held something that looked like a medicine kit, her express
Kai's POV All movement outside the hallway came to a halt as I walked by an towards the pack house. The death of my mate was still fresh on my mind and that means if could flip out at anytime. It’s a good thing the servant can see my mood and stay out of my path. I continued to strode purposefully towards the building occupied by most of our pack warriors. I knocked on the several closed doors with my fist as I passed by them to get their sleeping ass to come out. I'd be pissed more than I already am if am made to repeat myself to anyone if they miss my announcement tonight. Within a few minutes of waiting, everyone start to file out and into the corridor. Some in pairs unless for the unmated ones who came out alone and cranky. I stood up straighter, asserting my dominance over everyone else. “What’s going on, Alpha” one of the warrior had asked from the crowd, a very annoyed frown cresting his face as he and his mate who looked rather flustered had stood wrapped in each other em
Alana’s POVI heard someone calling out my name loud and clear. opening my eyes, I found that i was back on the bed with Beta Alex sitting beside me, his emerald green eyes alight with something unfamiliar. "Welcome back""What happened?""You lost consciousness" He told me. I swallowed a saliva. The last thing i remembered was eavesdropping on his conversation with Abigail. "Is it true that I'm really with child?"Alex nodded, "Abigail isn't just a physician, she has a way of knowing when a she wolf is with a pup so if she says you are then you really are"Hurricanes of emotions swirled within me as i tried to grasp the news of my current state. A part of me was happy that another being was growing within me but the other was not so happy. Everything was happening at the time where i could barely make sense of my situation. the emotions overwhelmed me like a whirlwind and i couldn't do anything except cry. "Do you know who the father is?"Kai is the father. He is the only man i
Alana’s POVThe intense yearning i was suddenly overcame with was growing even more rapidly like wildfire, I was overwhelmed with the sudden need to touch him, to be held by him and continued to have him close to me just like he currently was. The last time i had felt something this intense, it was with Kai and to realize that Alex could ignite the same excitement and hormonal rush in my wolf is something i could not understand unless of course, he was our second chance mate but how?As though he could read the question in my eyes, Alex leaned in closer "you feel that connection too don't you?"My eyes widen another inch, swallowing a saliva."I know you do sweet heart. I have been trying to resist the mate pull for a while now but not anymore" He explained calmly as though he was trying to sooth my raging heart but i couldn't help but look even more terrified. This can't be right, none of the things i was feeling was right. I can't be feeling this way, not right now as i desperatel
