LOGINAlpha Bran’s POV“Fuck!” My boot slammed hard against the back of the driver’s seat. The car jolted with the force.Rage clawed through my chest demanding release.“Alpha—” Lupin started.“Drive!” I barked.I dragged a hand through my hair, breathing hard, my chest rising and falling like I had just come out of a fight. That was what it felt like. A fight I had lost.Another kick hit the side of the seat, my patience burning to ashes.“Calm down.” Aric said calmly.I shot him a glare from where I sat, my jaw tight. “Don’t tell me to calm down,” “You shouldn’t let that lad’s words get to you,” he continued anyway, unfazed.“You think I give a damn about what that boy said?”Aric looked ahead quietly.“It’s me,” I continued, “I am furious at my own stupidity. I handed them the original recording without making a copy of it for myself.” Aric exhaled slowly. “Did you trust the council?”“No.” My gaze shifted to the window, watching the blur of trees and road pass by. “I trusted that the
Unknown POVA smile tugged at my lips as I walked down the path, my hands tucked casually into my pockets.It had been an entertainment worth watching. The moment Bran realised that he wasn't going to win the case. His desperation to prove that he was saying the truth. Poor Bran!That was so trilling to watch.I let out a chuckle to myself, shaking my head in pity for the clueless stubborn Alpha when I saw my old man and Saskia. They were just about to enter their cars when I changed direction, heading straight toward them.Larkin noticed me first. The old man’s instincts were still sharp, even if his methods of doing things were outdated.He paused, his hand resting on the car door before slowly letting it fall shut again.Saskia followed his gaze. When they landed on me, she hissed, loud enough for me to hear and went into her car.I cared nonetheless. She wasn't the one I was meeting afterall.I stopped a few steps in front of my old man.“Where have you been, son?” he asked.I h
Serafine’s POVThe noise of the hall faded as I sank deeper into my thoughts.“Serafine.” The voice sounded distant in my head. I was buried in my raveling thoughts that I didn't realise someone was actually calling me.“Serafine.” The voice came again, louder this time. But it still didn't seem like I was the one being called.It was when a hand touched my shoulder, that I flinched, blinking hard as the world snapped back into focus.“Grayson,” I muttered, looking down at him who was crouched in front of me now. “You…called me?”“I’m sorry.” He said, guilt lacing his gaze.I frowned, still trying to gather my thoughts. “Why… are you apologizing?”“I told you everything last night,” he began and I nodded in agreement, watching him. “But I left one thing out.”A small knot formed in my stomach. “What is it?”Then he exhaled quietly and sat down on the chair beside me. His hand brushing lightly against the back of my hand, sending warmth through me. His next words caught me off guard.
Alpha Bran’s POVThe moment I stepped out of the council hall, the air hit differently. Or maybe that was just the rage burning through my veins.Boots echoed behind me, synchronized. Aric, Bane and Lupin, and some guards followed without a word, their presence a silent wall at my back. None of them dared to speak. They could feel my rage as much as it was burning through me. I was one wrong word away from doing something I might regret later.“How could they close the case like that?” Lupin muttered under his breath.My jaw tightened as the scene inside the hall replayed in my head. “They tampered with the recording.” I said finally, “There’s no other explanation.”“We’ll find another way,” Aric said from just behind my shoulder.At that moment I didn’t care about another way. What I wanted was blood. Larkin’s old blood.I reached the wide stone steps leading out of the council building when someone pulled my attention.Serafine.She was standing a few feet away, beside Grayson and
Serafine’s POV“What happened to the recording?” Bran asked, facing the council of elders now. “It wasn't like this when I submitted it to you.”“Bran!” One of the elders called, “What are you insinuating?”“Im asking if one of you tampered with the evidence.”Another ripple of murmurs from the audience filled the hall.“SILENCE!” the elder at the middle roared and everyone kept quiet immediately. From his overwhelming aura, I could tell he was the leader of the elder council. He hadn't talked all this while until now.“Alpha Bran Cornick, I will only say this once. Mind the words you say here.”Bran scoffed, shoving his hands into his pocket as he peered down, patting his feet on the floor.“Did you make a copy of the record?” one of the elders asked.“I didn't.” Bran answered.“Then there is no proof that the record wasn't originally corrupted.” the elder concluded.“I am the proof,” Bran snapped.“Mind your tone, Alpha Bran.” another elder added. “You have become so emotional that
Serafine’s POV “Please have your seats. The hearing will begin shortly.” The soft firm voice of the pretty lady at the front echoed in the hall, as people began to take their seats.For the past few seconds since we got here, I have been taking sight of the high stone walls of the council chamber. It really looked ancient and could probably been built since the nineteen hundreds, I think.The air pressed against my lungs, thick with scents I couldn’t quite place but somehow recognized. Wolves.Yeah, I knew that much. That I was a wolf. And thus, the reason I could smell the others.I had asked Grayson last night why he and Clara smelled thesame. Embarrassment wrapped tightly around me when Clara laughed like I was a child asking questions which had obviously been answered.That was when Grayson told me all about werewolves and their terminologies, cultures and law. Including the matebond. It was a long night of history lessons. He said I couldn't shift at the moment because my wolf h
Serafine’s POV"Then do it. What are you waiting for?" I screamed, fiercely looking into his eyes. "Throttle me already!" I grabbed his wrist. "It would be better if you do it before Saskia comes."His chest went up and down as rage bubbled inside him. I could see his lips peeling back. He left me
Alpha Bran's POVI had been so opposed to the thought that a mere human would be my future Luna that accepting her as a mate was... beneath my consideration also.How could a daughter of a laundry woman be my mate? That little butterfly was only good enough to warm my bed. To have fun with a few t
Alpha Bran's POV Those words were more than enough to calm my tattered nerves. I loved this little creature's talk. I loved that she craved for me."So tell me that you want me." She pulled me up and pressed my face to her. She gave me a long kiss.I didn't say much, but I let her open my mouth, a
Alpha Bran's POVWhen the fire was burning nicely in the hearth, I stood there reflecting on what had happened. Did I push her too far? I don't think so. At first, she left the packhouse and didn't return and then I found her dancing with Grayson. If I hadn't come at the right time, who knew what
