KAELION POV
Claire continued to go on and on about how bringing Seliora to the pack house was a bad decision. She mentioned that we could not trust her but I already knew that. There was no way in hell I would trust Thane’s daughter. I could see how her presence reminded the pack members of their loss, but she was my biggest chance to ruin her father. He was not only very powerful but there had been rumours flying around about how no one had been able to defeat him in a one-on-one fight. Everyone feared him but I didn’t. No matter how strong he was, he was not impossible to take down. “I know what I am doing Claire, you have to trust me,” I muttered, in a calm tone. “She’s only going to be here for a short while, only until I get what I need from her.” Claire didn’t seem too happy to hear me say that as she only nodded her head. “Now let’s go back to the party, I need to address the pack members,” I stated. Seeing that I had finally agreed to join the party, Claire’s face dissolved into a smile. We both walked out of the house and made our way towards the party but I instantly sensed a fight had broken out between two of my pack members. “Stop it,” I barked, instantly charging towards both of them. “I want to know what happened right now!” “One of them thinks you did the right thing by bringing Seliora here while the other one thinks you should kill her,” Jackson answered, making his way towards me. He had this I told you look on his face but I didn’t mind, I understood just how hard it would be for them all to accept this new development. “It’s no news that we were not able to take down Alpha Thane himself,” I spoke in a firm tone. “His daughter being here is a leverage I plan to use to take him down for good and so if there’s any one of you who still thinks I made the wrong decision, signify now!” The whole pack instantly went silent. My sensitive and sharp senses could hear the sound of their heart breathing heavily as they stared at me. Seeing that they all could see my reason now, I decided to release the tension a bit. “We have already lost so much and many of our pack members, we should not fight ourselves. We have to stay united always,” I stated, walking over to the drink stand which was right behind me, and picking up a bottle of beer. “Cheers to unity and wiping out the Ember fang pack forever.” The crowd erupted in cheers and everyone soon went back to party mode. I watched as the two pack members who were earlier in a brawl hugging it out. “I see you have managed to convince them,” Jackson said, walking over to me. His tone indicated he was still not convinced but I knew it was only a matter of time. “Piece of cake,” I muttered, taking another sip from the cold beer. Jackson simply smiled and we both continued to watch the pack members have fun, it made me so glad to see them this way. Claire was right after all, staying up in my room all alone would not help. After about three hours, I grew tired and decided it was time to call it a night. Some of the pack members were also starting to leave while some of them still seemed to be enjoying the party. I quietly dropped the beer in my hands which was the third bottle I was having for the night and made my way towards the house. “Wait up, Kaelion,” I heard a tiny voice which I instantly recognised be Claire’s say. “I thought you would have gone to sleep by now,” I muttered, surprised she was still at the party so late at night. “It was fun plus I also saw you having fun, I just could not miss out on such a rare sight,” She teased, smiling. “I have you to thank, you were right. The party was a great way to distract myself,” I stated. “You should go get some sleep.” “No, I am going to stay at the party for a few more minutes,” She answered, walking away. I continued to walk back to the house but my phone rang just before I could walk in. “Hello Rex,” I said, picking it up. “Is there a problem?. “No Alpha, I just wanted to inform you that Alpha Ki Thane has arrived with his wife,” He responded. “Good. Drop the boy off in front of their home and make sure no one sees you before you get out of there,” I stated, ending the call. I wished I were there to see the look on Alpha Thane’s face after he saw what I had done. I also wondered if he would immediately know it was me. The thought of his face and how shattered he would be was enough consolation for me. “I have to do something about Seliora,” I thought to myself finally walking into the house and making my way towards my room. I knew I needed to handle her with iron hands if I wanted her to abide by my rules and wishes. I reached for the door to my room but saw Jackson right beside me before I could open the door. “You didn't inform me you were leaving the party,” He uttered, leaning against the wall. “I assumed you were still having fun,” I replied, pushing the door wide open. “Kaelion,” Jackson stated, as I tried to walk in. “You know Alpha Thane is never going to let this go right, he will come for his daughter and for this pack as soon as he discovers we were behind the attack.” “I will be waiting,” I simply replied, closing the door.KAELION POVSeeing the proud look Seliora had on her face after almost murdering one of the closest people I had left made me fear I might have gone too soft on her.I needed to remind her that she was being taken captive here.“Go into your room and call the pack doctor. I will see you in a minute,” I stated, facing Claire.She nodded her head and walked away quietly while I wondered what to do with Seliora.“You would have killed her if I were not here to stop you,” I yelled, trying so hard to hold back my anger.If Seliora had hurt her, I would not have been able to forgive myself. “You disobey my rules every chance you get. You are going to get punished this time,” I growled.“Really,” Seliora simply responded.It seemed like she had something to say but I didn't want to hear whatever it was she had to say.“I was protecting myself from her, she attacked me!” She stated.I was sure there was no way Claire was lying to me, Seliora had to be the one lying.“Did you ask her for a wa
SELIORA POV“Where am I?” I mumbled, slowly opening my eyes.The last thing I remembered was collapsing in front of Kaelion while trying to talk to him. I managed to open my eyes completely and tried to sit up but I was too weak. I scanned the room with my eyes slowly and from what I could tell, I was in a hospital.“You are fine, you were brought here to the pack clinic by the Alpha,” I heard a voice say.“Kaelion,” I muttered in disbelief.He was the last person I imagined would bring me here.“Yes,” The pack doctor replied, walking towards me with a tray of food of water. “You have to eat, you are suffering from extreme exhaustion and starvation.”“How long was I out for?” I asked, taking the tray from him.“About six hours,” The doctor responded.“Wow,” I mumbled.“Eat up and rest, I will be back in three hours to check up on you,” The doctor said, walking away.I slowly opened up the plate which contained a bowl of food, some vegetables, and steak. “Smells good,” I whispered, t
KAELION POVThis didn't look like a trick or an attempt to fool me but if it was, she must be pretty good at acting.Without a second's thought, I picked her up and hurried towards the quarter where the pack doctor lives with Jackson right behind me.Whatever it was, I could not let her die. She was only useful to me alive.“Get her on the table,” The pack doctor who seemed to have sensed us coming instructed.I gently placed her down while watching the doctor examine her. For some reason, I hated to see her this way.It reminded me of how helpless I felt seeing Misha’s dead body.“What is wrong with her?” I inquired, running out of patience.“She is suffering from starvation and extreme exhaustion, Alpha. It seemed like she had not slept or eaten for a long amount of time,” The doctor explained.I knew Seliora was relentless and stubborn but I never thought she would succumb to starving herself. I felt sorry for chaining her and dragging her to the border but there was no way I could
SELIORA POVThis was enough to prove that Kaelion might have been wrong about everything.He was so quick to assume this attack was from my father.Maybe he acted under annoyance and should have probably investigated the attack or maybe his mate’s death made him too delusional to even think things through.Either way, I loved his response and looked forward to making him suffer till he took his last breath. I had also hoped this was Father but I was not disappointed. I was sure he was doing everything he could to get me out of here.This was going to be a bit hard for him considering Kaelion wiped out all of our pack members and father’s men.“We have to go,” The familiar man who earlier came into the office to break the news of the attack to Kaelion announced standing right next to me.“You are his Beta right,” I muttered, looking sideways at him. “What is your name?.“Jackson,” He answered, coldly.“I am guessing Kaelion is also your friend,” I uttered. “What do you want?” Jackson
KAELION POVI expected an attack from Alpha Thane but this was happening sooner than I expected.Judging from how frightened Jackson looked, it was quite obvious he was terrified.“We cannot be certain my father is behind this, it could be anyone,” Seliora said.“Well we are about to find out, aren't we?” I stated, grabbing her arms and dragging her out of the room.“What are you doing?” She asked in a loud voice but I was too upset to even listen to her.All I wanted was to know whether this attack was from her father or not. I had promised to keep my remaining pack members safe and was willing to do anything to keep the promise.I just could not let them go through another attack. Besides what Kind of Alpha would I be if I could not keep my pack safe?“You might want to think about whatever is going on in your head safe. If the attack is truly from my father, you have to let me see and talk to him,” Seliora said, but I only continued to ignore her.“Gather all the men, I will be the
SELIORA POVThere was no way I could remain calm or try to reason with Kaelion.He had completely lost his mind.There was no way in hell I was going to help him take down my father.I reached for the door and tried to open it up but couldn't.“Let me out of here,” I demanded, staring back at him.“We are not done talking, Seliora. Come back and sit,” He replied.Seeing that I had no option, I reluctantly made my way towards the chair and sat down on it.“Rule number three, You listen to me whenever I talk. The next time you try to leave or break any of my rules, you will be punished,” He stated, glaring at me.“You already destroyed my pack and took everything I love from me, there is no greater punishment than that,” I responded, clenching my jaw.“I simply did the same thing your father did to me,”He said, casually.The room went quiet afterwards with both of us staring into each other's eyes with so much rage. I desperately wanted to ask how he assumed my father was behind this
