MasukAndrew Kane (POV) Marcus and I left the room quietly, walking side by side down the prison stairs. Each engaged with his own thoughts."Briel's face looks somewhat familiar but I can't place it where I've seen him before. The fact that he is a rogue makes it harder to recollect," Marcus said, looking forward to the mansion while his face crumbled in worry."His anger is directed towards you for a reason. From day one, he was more interested in taking a pound of your flesh more than anything. Do you have anything to do with his exile?" I asked, trying to make sense of all these too."You know the pack has been at peace since your father passed away and you got married. There hasn't been a war or clash with anyone, so I'm surprised. We haven't sent anyone to exile, and recent disputes are settled amicably," Marcus replied, turning to the direction of the house with a sigh."Maybe you would visit him later to find out what happened, right now, the manacle wouldn't do much to restrain hi
Andrew Kane (POV)"Is it not obvious that the man is irritating? He is the only one who doesn't fit in this room. Just look at the three of us, same energy and height," Briel spat, cleaning his mouth with the blue round neck he was wearing."I know right! That's why we need to be quick with this so everyone goes their own way. I know you have been itching to leave here. How many days has it been now? A week? That sucks," Marcus responded in a sad way as if he was sympathizing with him."I already told you what I know, what else do you want from me?" Briel asked, his eyes resting on Marcus' face."Do you know him? Let your answer be yes or no. No explanations needed," I said, my voice low and dangerous. The two men shifted uncomfortably in their seats.The atmosphere changed to a grave one as I leaned forward in my chair. The bald man gulped down loudly."No, I don't," Briel answered, a sharp arrow which almost had his ear torn off and pinned to the wall passed between him and the bald
Andrew Kane (POV)I went back into my condo to have a quick shower before I met with Briel and the bald man. I was troubled in my spirit that these men had a connection with someone. Briel hasn't proven to be otherwise after his confession that he only attacked Marcus because he thought he wanted to harm me.His words weren't convincing in the very least because I knew what I saw that day. The bright gladness of an intent killer, who would kill anyone for the joy of it.Why Selene would wish to have Lena dead still baffles me even though she knows she has no chance in my heart.I came out of the bathroom with water dripping over my body. Arranging meetings with my elders was the first step towards securing my borders. They had watched the tape with their own eyes, otherwise it would have been impossible to convince them that Elena didn't push her to death.The maids were fond of cooking up stories that could put the pack in danger sometimes. I know that the news of what happened would
Elena Torres (POV)By six in the evening, all the Elders were all gathered in the room. Whispering in hush tones about the sudden meeting which wasn't strange, neither would it be the first."Is our territory under threat again? It has been a while since we gathered for a meeting like this in months apart from troubles I heard the pack was facing," an Elder sitting closer to me said to the other beside him.It became a subject between them as the five elders debated on the subject of discussion. I didn't miss the strange glance they threw my way once in a while as they spoke.I seldom attend their meetings and if I do, the subject on ground has to do with me so I didn't blame them. Margaret was sitting opposite me and Uncle Drake sought comfort in his own chair beside. He was quiet and observant as ever.Marcus and Andrew were the only ones absent from the room. I developed cold feet at the thought of our discussion earlier. Andrew appeared to be distressed, even though he was doing a
Elena Torres (POV)I sat down quietly listening to Margaret acquire what I didn't do. Andrew already texted me on the situation of things and I really felt sorry for Selene's loss. I know how it felt to lose a child you have nurtured in your womb for months. A being that has become part of you. I almost lost myself when I thought I had lost mine."Can we watch the tape together so everyone would stop accusing me of what I did not do?" I asked in a low voice, trying to shove Margaret's hand which still rested on my shoulder. Her breath was all over my face, igniting anger within me at her baseless accusation. Her long artificial nails were digging into my flesh, intentionally."Are you asking that we watch how you committed a murderous act with our own two eyes again? You really want to traumatize us, don't you?" Margaret scoff, dusting off her hands as if she just touched a dusty surface."What are you afraid of? Why are you so keen on pinning this matter on me? Marcus already said t

Margaret's Pov"You must not stop beating her until you force a confession out of her. She's nothing but a thief and this is a thief's reward when caught." I ordered the guards, whichever way that my ring found its way to Elena's room I don't know neither do I care to know, all that matters was that
Elena's Pov I was in a deep sleep when the other side of the bed sank deeper, I could sense someone climbing it, but didn't open my eyes. I was too tired after the fake wedding, oath and vow.That's the way I see it.The only real thing about the union was the frown plastered on the pack members fac
Andrew's Pov My head snapped to the door with my blood prepared to take revenge on the intruder, and it was as if all my strength had been sapped when I saw Selene standing at the doorway in her red lingerie.Leaving nothing to imagination, her eyes were fixed on Elena who was still in my arms and
Elena's povIt was already getting late when I decided to leave Clara's house. I missed her a lot and needed a break from the mansion. The tension there is not helping matters and today I've been feeling anxious for no reason.Clara had helped ease my mind with her sweet voice but that ended abruptl
