It was a perilous time when the fittest survived. Alphas were usurped and Packs were overthrown by the powerful. Vera was thrown into a conspiracy when her father, the beta of the Shifters Pack, was accused of treason. Her parents were killed and she was labelled a traitor's daughter. Everyone turned their backs against her. Her mate, the Alpha heir, rejected her and she was banished from the pack. Resolute to prove her parents' innocence, she escaped from her killers only to fall into the hands of a ruthless Alpha, Alpha Joash. She soon realized that he was her second chance mate but he was oblivious to it. In her state, she couldn't voice it out. Still at his mercy, she realized that all that she had believed were lies. She needed to save herself, prove herself and unknot her twisted fate.

Chapter 1

Dark Waters

Vera's POV

It was Saturday morning and I was ready for my morning jog. I walked briskly into the sitting room to greet my parents as usual.

"Mother. Good morning." Mother turned around at the sound of my voice. With a big smile plastered on her face, she walked closer to me and hugged me. 

Just then my father walked out of his room, he must have heard my voice too. “Father…” I greeted but the main door burst open and my words died in my throat.

Startled, I turned in the direction of the door only to be greeted with the sight of an angry Alpha Simpson. Behind him were half a dozen guards who were holding their swords with menacing looks.

“Your Highness…" My parents and I saluted with a curt bow.

“Keep your greetings, you traitors!” Alpha Simpson yelled and I veered backwards in surprise. Turning in the direction of my parents, I discovered they were also staring at him with confused looks on their faces. 

My father, the Beta of the Shifters Pack, took a step forward and said with a calm tone, “Your Highness, if there is an issue, please let me know. I'm willing to talk and straighten things out.” 

“Straighten things out, you say?” Alpha Simpson asked, sarcasm dripping from his tone. 

“Take him and his mate away! They are traitors!” Alpha Simpson commanded. 

“We…” Father tried to speak but he was interrupted by Alpha Simpson who yelled at his guards, “What are you waiting for!? Drag these traitors out, they are going to be executed!” 

"What!?" I looked around stricken… this must be some sick joke. My heart pounded in my chest and I looked at my father for an explanation.

Four guards seized my parents immediately. They dragged them out of the house like they were criminals. 

I ran after them but stopped midway. Instead of throwing tantrums I should wait behind and plead with Alpha Simpson.

Right there, I fell on my knees in panic. "My Alpha, there must have been a mix-up somewhere… My parents have always been loyal servants. I am sure that they are innocent."

Hearing my pleas, my father looked back and shook his head, warning me not to speak. I drowned my pleas in my throat and continued on my knees, knotting without uttering a sound.

“Please, spare their lives. Please give my parents a second chance.” I cried out, not knowing when I spilled, and resumed begging again. 

Instead of responding to my plea, Alpha Simpson stared at me like l was a worthless fly.

Growing up, I knew Alpha Simpson to be kind. I was his Beta's daughter and his son's buddy, this caused him to always dote on me. But the present version of him was unrecognizable. 

His eyes darkened with fury and he almost stomped on me as he stormed past me. What could have been my parents' offense? I wondered. I need to hear their end of the story. I sprang to my feet and ran after them.

"Seize her up!" Alpha Simpson thundered.

I had covered some distance but the guards seized me up easily and dragged me back to him. 

“You're degraded to an Omega!” He said coldly. “Your High…” I gulped, too shaken to speak.

"Drag her down! Restrain her!" He yelled and the guards threw me on the ground, restraining me.

“One more word concerning this, I wouldn't mind killing you alongside your parents.” He snapped. “You should be grateful I spared your life.”

Wiping my eyes, I pulled myself up but one of the guards kicked me and I fell back on my knees.

“You will vacate the building since it belongs to the Pack's Beta.” Alpha Simpson blared. At his words, I shot my head upwards, staring at him in disbelief. If I leave the Beta's house, I will be homeless. 

I had no idea you were this heartless — I thought, trying hard not to cry and plead. 

“You can stay in the cottage at the edge of the pack… I don't want to see you anymore.” He said with finality, nodding at his men. 

The guards dragged me up and began to lead me away. I couldn't resist them anymore. The shock was too much for me. My parents, who were His Highness' loyal people, were labeled traitors and sentenced to death in the blink of an eye. I was demoted to an Omega and shoved out of the house that I had lived in all my life. Everything that I used to know crumbled and I became destitute.

I did not have much time to think as the guards jeered me here and there, dragging me away. 

Looking ahead, I saw the back view of my parents. Dust trailed evidently behind them as they were being dragged away!

"No!!!" I yelled and broke loose from the grips of the guards holding me. They ran after me as I ran after my parents.

"Mother!!!! Father!!!" I screamed and they heard me. My father snapped out of the grips of the men dragging him, forcing them to stop but he didn't turn to look at me. Mother turned around to give me a sad look. She nodded her head slowly, telling me that they were innocent.

My heart broke into pieces and I continued to push my way towards them. But before I caught up with them, the guards caught me and dragged me away. With tears on my face, I continued to look back until my parents were dragged out of sight.

The pack members peeked from their doors watching the pathetic scenario. A lot of them were standing aloof with jaws falling and hands folded over their chests. They were not my concern now. If I could save my parents, I had to be fast.

"Blake!" The name rumbled in my head. Blake was my childhood friend and Alpha Simpson's son. He was the Alpha heir and recently, we just discovered that we were mates! I have to get to him! He will surely believe that my parents are innocent, and he will help us out. 

“Stay away from the palace. Alpha Simpson and Luna Katherine did not want to see you anymore!" The lead guard ordered as we got to the entrance of the cottage. They threw me down and I hit the ground with a thud.

Shuddering, I lifted my head and stared at the dilapidated cottage. Apart from the guards who brought me over, it was silent with no one in sight. The cottage was made of thatch. It was standing aloof at the extreme end of our pack, surrounded by a large expanse of thick vegetation. 

I shook my butt off the dirt and crawled to my knees. Dragging my hands and feet in the dirt, I crawled towards the rickety door. 

At a single push, it cracked open and almost caved in. 

With one shaking knee after the other, I crawled in. It was dark inside and I couldn't see my nose.

Age-long dust wafted into my nose and I began to sneeze. I scampered to my feet and held my elbow up to cover my nose.

Argh!!! I butted into a thick mass of cobwebs and shrieked towards the door. Goodness, I had no time for this. I had to meet Blake before it was too late.

With my elbow still covering my nose, I gleaned through the cracked thatch. Only two guards waited behind, others had left.

This was my chance. 

Without making a sound, I tiptoed out and leaped into the vegetation beyond. The vegetation became my cover. I ran through the bushes and made my way towards the palace.

A few palace guards were parading, so I hid. Remembering the warnings, I knew that I must not be caught. I was not supposed to be seen around the palace. 

When the coast was clear, I bumped out of my hideout and snuck into the palace chambers.

I leaped over the wall and with a light thud, I rolled into Blake's chambers. Thanks to the few training sessions that I received from my father, I was able to do some gymnastics.

Hurriedly, I made my way through the hallway, hiding away from the guards. 

Unexpectedly, I felt a sharp pain in my heart and let out a muffled cry.

What the heck! I pushed my back against the wall, and I hit my chest painfully. But I didn't stop. Squeezing my chest, I dragged my feet along, daring every second.

Yay! I love the game of politics in here, it is hot! They all seemed to be plotting against each other. I just hope Vera's decision to eliminate Silas will not cause a rift between her and Joash. So far so good, I want those two to end up together.

Broken
Vera's POVThe nearer I walked towards Blake's room, the more painful my pain was, but I wasn't deterred. As I pushed myself along, I wondered what was happening to me.The urgency of my assignment propelled me and I ignored my pain. In no time, I was standing in front of Blake's room.Without knocking, I pushed the door open and my eyes fluttered crazily as I entered the dimly lit room. I heard hushed voices. One was Blake's and the other was feminine. My heart beat fast as I brought my vision to focus."Blake…" I was just about to call when I heard Blake's cozy voice."Laura…I have missed you… hmm!" Blake's voice was followed by a light crackle and soft smacking of lips. Laura? My eyes widened and I covered my mouth in shock. That bitch!"You're sweet baby… hmm," Laura groaned, breathing sweetly. "Honey, I need you to fill me now, " Laura begged, opening her legs wider.I could see them clearly now. Their naked bodies rammed into each other rhythmically and I staggered backwards.L

Banishment
Vera's POVIt's been a week since my parents' unexpected demise. The images of their shredded bodies haunted me day and night and I couldn't bring myself to eat nor sleep. I languished in a corner of my cottage, crying day and night.Revenge burned inside of me like burning embers of coals, but my misery was eating me up. Realising I had to get back on my feet, I pushed myself up. I took a bold step out of my cover and the sun rays bathed my damp body.My strength was gone and I took baby steps until I could manage to start erect. My stomach burned with hunger and I clutched it tightly. I wished I could defy nature and burst out on an empty stomach to fix my mess, but it was all a dream, I needed to eat.I dragged myself into the pack house. Remembering that I must not be caught, I avoided the palace."I can do any kind of work, please hire me," I muttered, knocking at every door but I got nothing. Everyone shut their doors as soon as they saw me. Tears fell from my eyes as I realised

A face off with Killers
Vera's POV What!? I was spared! We can live! I yelled at Viola, my wolf, but she whimpered sorrowfully. My happiness vanished immediately as realisation dawned on me. I was dragged out of my house and now I belong to no pack. I knew no other pack apart from the Shifters Pack where I grew up. Does that mean I just become a wolf without a pack? I just became a rogue wolf! My heart pounded in my chest. I didn't know the ways of the rogues. All I knew was that they lurk around in the woods and they are saboteurs. Tears cascaded down my face as I made my way sluggishly out of the Pack mansion. I took a last look behind me and all that I had lost dazzled through my mind. "One day I will return and I will surely recover all that I had lost. I will avenge my parents and crush all those who crushed us," I muttered. "The chest!" I almost forgot. "I have to take it with me!" I turned around and rushed back to my cottage. I burst in and grabbed the chest. I smashed it angrily on the ground,

Another Mate
Vera's POVSlowly, I rose on my feet and began to sway away. My route was in the paths within the woods, now that I knew that they were after my life, I couldn't be more cautious.The chest! I dropped it when I wanted to attack the wolf earlier. I can't leave it behind, I must get it! I looked behind me with determination. Turning around, I began to drag myself back. With each step, I felt weaker and my vision became more blurry, my bleeding wouldn't stop either. It wasn't an easy choice but I had to do it. Luckily, I found the chest. It was lying just a few inches from the body of the wolf that I had killed earlier. I flipped it up and my heart skipped a beat. It was cracked open and empty! This can't be!" I lamented looking around for the unknown contents. I was sure that it wasn't empty when I found it in my father's bedroom.No! I yelled out loud and stormed about as I began a search for it. Not too far from the chest, I saw a stack of neatly folded papers. I found you! My heart

He is a Monster
Awestruck, I staggered along as the guards dragged me on. My head rumbled in confusion and shock. How could this be? My chosen mate was a jerk and my second chance mate turned out to be my captor. He was no other person than the well-feared Alpha Joash! There was no escape from this. Loathing in the fury fire of hell would have been better! I was caught as a traitor and pieces of evidence were found on me. If all that I had heard about Alpha Joash was true, I did not stand a chance to come out of this alive, he would definitely kill me!"Viola…" I began to talk to my wolf but I was cut short as my back crashed against a rugged floor. The guards had hauled me into a tiny cell and thrown me on the floor. I groaned as pain sizzled down my spine. Shutting my eyes, my mind reverted to my father. I remembered all that he had taught me. He was my hero and his uprightness transcended my imagination. But things didn't add up… I raked my fingers through my hair as I remembered the letters aga

You Will Get Us Killed
It was nightfall. My forehead was perched against the wall of the cell as I had begun to doze off. I had waited all through the day but nothing happened. Alpha Joash didn't show up as well as his guards. I couldn't have been more grateful.Suddenly, a crackling sound hit the air and my eyes flicked open. I saw two guards opening up the cell locks. My drowsiness cleared away immediately."Our misery just began," I hummed to Viola and I shut my eyes again, pretending to be fast asleep.Two strong hands gripped me by the shoulders and jeered me up roughly. Painful howls escaped from my lips as my feet hit the ground. I was still weak and sore from the torture earlier. I was hungry and thirsty, I had no strength left in me. My legs buckled under my weight and I fell to my knees.The guards did not give a damn, they dragged me along and I crawled on my toes and knees behind them.Outside, thick darkness had spread across the skies, but thanks to my wolf eyes, I could see clearly.

A Befitting Uniform
"Stop the pretence… I know you have come around. You don't have time for this… you are to resume to the Alpha's chambers by tomorrow. You have just a day to recuperate," an unfamiliar voice rang into my ears and I opened my eyes. My vision was a little hazy but I could see. Déjà vu ran down my spine, bringing me back to the day that I woke up in a clean room after I had fainted in the woods. But it's a different setting. This time, I was not in cuffs and I wasn't surrounded by people.I was lying on a bed and a sullen woman in a clean white robe sat across. She was staring at me through the lenses of her oversized glasses. There was no use pretending, she knew I had regained consciousness.I turned around and winced at the sharp pain in my head. My hand darted to the contour on my neck. There were masses of bandages and it hurt like hell. My last moment on the gallows rushed back to me. I remembered the dart, Alpha Joash, the gallows and how I had blacked out."My Alpha is an expert

He is another Unfeeling-mate
It was quite a walk. Although I was fascinated by the scenery, I was all over the place. My body was still weak and my balance was zero. And the guards? They didn't care, they continued to push me along.When we burst into another corner, I knew immediately, ahead was the Alpha's chambers. The structures stood tall and they were breathtaking. Although they stood aloof and secluded from other structures in the pack, they were located at the pinnacle of the pack house and I realised that it could be seen from any point in the pack. It was almost as exquisite as the royal palace of the city's Alpha king and I marvelled.As we proceeded, I saw the maids, there were a handful of them. They wore the same uniform as mine and I found it fascinating. My pack was far behind the most insignificant development here and if I was in a different circumstance, I would have commended all that I had seen.I soon noticed the disdainful stares and glares. Almost everyone we met sneered at me. Oh yeah, the

Maid of His Presence
It was late in the night, Pete had just concluded the training and a guard was leading me down. My head ached and all that Pete taught me rumbled in my head. Despite my weak body, I was put through rigorous training all through the day. Pete didn't give me any breathing space. It was too much for me."This will be your room," the guard that was leading me said and I jumped. I was startled. I tripped and slumped into the room through the open door. I lay there on the floor, thinking about how miserable my life had become. All I had suffered since my parents' demise flashed through my head and for the first time, I didn't cry, I just stared into space, blinking intermittently. The horrendous life where I did not know if I would die or live in the next second was gradually becoming my norm.I had forgotten all about food when I heard a knock at the door. Dinner was brought and I felt hungry instantly. I devoured the meal like I had never eaten all my life.This will be sufficient for ea
