"Let me teach this freak a lesson!" She said, her eyes still on the Luna's hazel ones. They were both panting and both ready to fight, but Aiden did not let them."That's not why we are here, Vel." He simply said, turning a sharp gaze at the Luna and just like that, it was over. The Luna stood straight and walked back to the bed, the glare still intact on her face but she didn't attack. Alpha Velvet let out a gasp of frustration. What on earth! She was already too angry and was ready to use the Luna as a punching bag, perhaps, her anger would reduce. But Aiden had ruined it for her."You do this every time, Aiden, and it's not funny anymore." She said to him and he shook his head."What do you think? That I will sit back and watch you get injured?" He whispered."Injured?" Alpha Velvet's eyes widened. "Do you think I will get injured by this. . .this thing? Am I that weak to you?" She almost yelled."No! But I don't even want a scratch on you." He said, his golden-brown eyes twinklin
Aiden shared a smile with Alpha Velvet and for a reply to the Luna's question, he turned his gaze to Kunata, signalling for him to come forward. Kunata did as he had been told and when he got to where Aiden and Alpha Velvet were standing, Aiden said,"It's obvious they know something we need to know. To make them speak, what do you suggest?""They won't be able to keep shut if they are tortured," Kunata replied and Aiden's smile widened,"Just what I thought. I can trust you to do that, can't I?""Yes, of course." Kunata bowed a little and Aiden patted him on the shoulder. Then, turning serious, he said,"Don't stop until they reveal everything about their son. I don't care if they die in the process." Gasps filled the air the moment he said that and the Luna sprang up to her feet, looking really scared."You can't do that. We don't know anything!" "Really?" Aiden was the one to tilt his head to the side."Yes! You locked us up here for days. How do you expect us to know?" The Luna
The throne room was noisy, with everyone saying one thing or the other. Every elder was present, and they stood at both sides of the large hall, speaking words to one another as they waited to be addressed. The council meeting had come as a shock to all and no one knew what to expect as they stood in the throne room. Ever since the fight, there had not been a serious meeting so it was understandable why everyone was nervous.While the elders from the Blood-Moon pack occupied the right-hand side of the large hall, the elders from the Night Scars pack stood by the left-hand side. There was an air of hostility settling above them as some of the Blood-Moon elders glared at the Night Scars elders. While some were getting along really well, the rest weren't and as they stood in the throne room, waiting, some threw insults at one another. However, the noise died down when the door flew open and Aiden walked in, accompanied by Alpha Velvet, Kunata, and some other deltas from the Night Scar
"I totally agree with Elder Thunga." A voice said and all eyes turned to him. It was Salutary Jimoh, the head salutary Jared had imprisoned for no reason. He had been released after the Night Scars pack took over, so of course, he supported Alpha Velvet and Aiden. Why wouldn't he?"Jared was a bad Alpha. He treated us like slaves. He imprisoned me for no reason and tortured me just because of his insecurity. I'm most grateful to you for showing up at this time. I would have lost my life if you didn't. I am indebted to you both." Salutary Jimoh bowed."Nonsense! Blasphemy! Is this how you speak of your alpha behind his back?" Another elder countered. He was the head of the scout group."Strangers invade your pack and here you all are, licking their anus like dogs? How much were you paid to do so?""You insult us by thinking we were paid," another elder retorted. "We should be asking you how much you were paid because no one in his right senses will support Jared after the hell we have
Jared was tensed. He was so tense that he could not sit down. He was at the training field, watching the Greystone warriors train rigorously as usual even when their Alpha Rio was yet to announce the day they were going to attack the Blood-Moon pack. The training field of the Greystone pack was just as big as that of the Blood-Moon pack and they had as many resources as the Blood Moon pack. The Greystone pack was just as mighty as the Blood Moon pack and this was one of the reasons Alpha Lundamous had accepted Rio's proposal and allowed him to take Adelia with him. His father had always told him that he didn't always have to fight or subdue everyone but could sometimes befriend mighty packs like these to live peacefully and become allies. Being enemies with the Greystone pack was definitely not a good idea — so his father had said and Jared was beginning to see how true that statement was. If he had not maintained his relationship with Rio even as alpha as the Blood-Moon pack the
Jamal and Andrew were surprised to see Aiden walking towards them and they exchanged confused glances before rising to their feet. "Oh, don't do that!" Aiden waved his hand at them, shaking his head vehemently as he approached them. "Sit down. You don't have to stand up for me." The two friends exchanged another puzzled look but they did as they were told and sat back on the steps they had been sitting on. They were at Andrew's house. Jamal had followed Andrew home to make sure he was okay because he started to feel nauseous during their gamma's training. He was about leaving but seeing Aiden walking up to them made him stop. It was a huge surprise to see Aiden there and both friends could not hide their shock. "You guys look like you've seen a ghost. Are you that surprised?" Aiden chuckled. "Well, it's not like you to show up so I think we have a justifiable reason to be surprised," Andrew replied in a low voice. He was trying really hard not to roll his eyes at Aiden. Wasn't
"Well, yes!" Aiden snapped too. He had been trying to pacify them but since they felt like they had something against him, then he should let them know that he wasn't completely happy with them. "Haven't you? Haven't you guys been making up shit about Calix just to make me doubt him? What's your point? Why are you backstabbing your friend?" "Backstabbing?" Both Jamal and Andrew shouted in shock. "What the fuck, man? Who is backstabbing who? Just because we told you the truth about Calix, you call us backstabbers?" Andrew yelled again. "You guys gave me that impression." Aiden shook his head, feeling a little bit remorseful for using that word. Maybe that wasn't the right word to use but he couldn't find a better word to qualify how they were behaving. "That's so uncalled for, Aiden! And I'm disappointed in you for saying that. We don't have anything against Calix. What we told you was nothing but the truth. I have no idea if Calix's reason for being the beta has changed but as o
Aiden found himself regretting ever coming to see Andrew and Jamal. If he had known their meeting would end up this way, he would never have come. He would have just stayed back at the training ground — watching the prowess of the warriors, was much better than dealing with some overgrown babies who felt like they owned him; like he had no right to choose other friends or enjoy other's company. He had never known the guys to be that possessive or clingy so it was all too surprising to see them act up this way. But should he even be surprised? A lot had changed in the pack. It felt like he was in a whole new world and there was a lot he was yet to discover. Every day unveiled a secret that left him in nothing but shock. It was as though he was on a treasure hunt, discovering new things he didn't know existed in the Blood-Moon pack. So should he really be surprised at his friends' behaviour when the truth was that he didn't know them anymore like he had thought he knew them? They ha
