FAZER LOGINGrayson’s POVMy body went cold.The world around me faded. All I could see was Clara standing between those rogues with a blade pressed against her throat. And blood sliding slowly down her skin.Seeing her cry destroyed whatever control I had left.“Grayson…” she whispered shakily again.Fear punched straight through my chest.My wolf was going insane inside me, clawing violently against my skin to rip those men apart. Every instinct screamed at me to do something and kill the rogues. And destroy anything standing between me and Clara. But I couldn’t because one wrong move and they would slit her throat open.I forced myself to stay still even though every muscle in my body trembled with restraint.How did they find her? And why were they here?The rogue holding Clara smiled when he saw the panic on my face. He was enjoying this. The bastard was enjoying every second of it.“Well,” he mocked softly, “that expression is disappointing. I expected the Grayson to be calmer than this.”
Alpha Bran’s POVThis was the first time I saw fear in Grayson’s eyes. Just one flicker under the shadow of his hood before his expression hardened again. Even cornered, he was still trying to maintain control.The forest remained deathly quiet around us. Cold wind rustled through the trees while every guard stayed alert, waiting for my command.Grayson looked around once more, carefully calculating his chances for escape. Unfortunately for him, I hadn’t left any.“You’re unusually quiet tonight,” I said.His eyes shifted back toward me. “What do you want from me, Bran?”A low scoff escaped me.“What I want?” I repeated. “You’re standing at the back of your house at midnight with a sack filled with other wolves heads. And you’re asking me what I want?”The Crystal Pack guards exchanged uneasy glances between themselves. None of them had touched the sack yet. The smell leaking from it alone was enough to make everyone uncomfortable.“You don’t know what’s inside the bag.” Grayson grit
Alpha Bran's POV The meeting was over. I walked back into my office with Aric following closely behind me.The moment the door shut behind us, silence filled the room. I removed my gloves and tossed them onto the desk.Aric remained standing near the door with a troubled expression on his face.“Why didn’t you tell them?” he asked after a long moment of hesitation.I glanced at him, knowing what he was asking about, but pretended not to. “Tell them what?”“That I’m also a suspect.”My eyes rested on him briefly before I moved toward the cabinet beside my desk. “I’m not giving you mercy if that’s what you think,” I poured myself a drink before continuing.“I’m simply giving you time to come clean and tell me the truth yourself.”“I didn’t kill those men.”“I know.”His brows furrowed deeply as he stared at me.I leaned lightly against the edge of my desk while swirling the alcohol in my glass. “But I need to know one thing. Why did you visit them that night? And why did you strangle
Alpha Bran's POV Every eye turned toward me expectantly for the answers to their questions. I leaned back in my chair before answering.“I believe the sack contained the heads of the victims.”Mrs. Harlow cried out loudly. The widow beside the orphan girl suddenly swayed weakly before collapsing onto the floor.Panic erupted in the hall.The young girl screamed in terror. Aric called for a guard and one rushed in.“Take her to the hospital,” he ordered.The unconscious widow was quickly lifted while the orphan girl watched shakily as the widow was carried out of the hall.Mrs. Harlow sobbed into her husband’s chest while Sammy’s expression twisted with fury. “Why hasn’t Grayson been arrested already?” Sammy asked angrily.“This videos aren't enough. I need a solid evidence.”Sammy slammed both hands against the table, angrily.“That is also why I invited Elder Larkin and the rest of the Crystal Pack elders here this afternoon.”All eyes shifted toward the elderly man.I folded my h
Alpha Bran’s POV Everyone was settled into their seats. The elders occupied the long curved table at the front of the hall while the victims’ families sat several rows below them. Aric stood at my right side while Lupin remained quietly at my left.Every elder present carried a grim expression, which was good for me because what they were about to kniw and see would change everything.I leaned back in my chair before mindlinking Lupin. “Present the case.”His eyes widened subtly as he looked toward me. He hadn’t expected that.Normally, Aric handled formal presentations during meetings like this. Lupin preferred remaining in the shadows where he could observe silently.Several seconds passed without him making any move. Everyone in the hall was waiting.I gave him a small nod of encouragement. Then he inhaled deeply before finally stepping forward. The hall remained silent as he stood before everyone.“As everyone here already knows,” he began calmly, “three young men from this pack
Alpha Bran’s POV Mrs. Harlow sniffed softly before lifting her chin with pride.“Eagles never behave like chickens,” she said coldly.A faint smirk tugged at the corner of my lips. I turned briefly toward Aric. His expression already looked murderous.When I looked back toward the families, the atmosphere inside the office had become noticeably heavier.The widow’s hands trembled on her lap. The orphan girl sat rigid beside her with clenched jaw. Their anger rolled off them, though neither dared to speak against the wealthy couple openly.I leaned back in my chair before speaking again. “Let’s return to the real reason I called you all here.”My gaze moved toward Sammy first. “Tell me about the night your son died.”Sammy exhaled heavily before sitting back down. “My son went to bed after dinner. It was unusual because he loved playing with his younger siblings before goingvto bed. But this time, he looked so tired and went straight to bed.”“How would I have known that it was the la
Alpha Bran's POVI saw her buttocks emerging a few meters ahead. I rushed after her, not keeping my eyes off her glistening body as she swam in front of me. Her buttocks would rise and fall below the water. She was a good swimmer. She thought she was faster than me, but in a few powerful strokes I
Alpha Bran's POV After Serafine left, I didn't go after her. She had provoked my anger. She was pushing me towards the edge and it was a marvel that I had controlled myself. However, all the while my mind was in complete turmoil.I couldn't accept the fact that she was the one who said the last wo
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
