Lena's PovThe five huge men who were with me suddenly sprang into action. I watched as they quickly sharpened their swords, and the sound of metal scraping filled the air. Without wasting a second, they rushed toward the loud noise coming from the far end of the crowd.I lifted my head in surprise.“What is going on?” I whispered, my heart pounding.I turned just in time to see some men heading in that direction.They were huge. Their shoulders were broad, wider than any door frame I had ever seen. Their arms were like thick tree trunks, full of muscles that flexed with every step. They stood much taller than any man here, towering over everyone like giants. Their chests were broad, their waists slim, and their legs strong like pillars.And their faces… I had never seen men so handsome in my life. Strong jawlines, sharp cheekbones, piercing eyes that seemed to see right through you. Their hair was dark and perfectly kept, and they moved with the grace of trained warriors. Everything
Kyler's Pov“Kill him..” I heard a voice whisper in me.I turned around but there was no one looking at me.The boys’ eyes were fixated on me wide open as though they had just seen a ghost.“If you don't kill him, you will be forced to take responsibility for a child you don't love for the rest of your life..” The voice came again, this time louder.My eyes darted around the healer's room and my gaze landed on the knife kept on the table There was no one around here.If I slid this sharpened knife into the boy’s throat, there would be no traces left and I wouldn't be forced to love and live with a child I might never love for the rest of my life.That would relieve me of time and I would focus more on finding Lena.“Kill him…”I heard the voice whisper inside me again.I spun around quickly, but there was no one behind me.The only thing I saw was the little boy, staring up at me with wide eyes, like he was looking at a ghost.“If you don’t kill him now, you will be trapped forever.
Kyler's Pov I stood frozen as Alison's tears fell, her words cutting deep. "You wanted my son to die?" she wailed, her voice echoing through the room. The Elders nodded in agreement, their faces stern.“That boy is the future Alpha of this pack. You aren't supposed to treat him like an outcast.”“He is your son..”“The product of the reproductive juice that left your body..”From the corner of my eye, I watched Alison smiling sheepishly as though she had won the whole world to herself.She was enjoying the attention that she was getting.She was enjoying the way the Elders chose her over her.“That boy is a mistake..”“That night was unintentional.”“I wasn't in my right senses and I do regret everything that led to his birth so you wouldn't force me to show love to someone I don't love…”“That would be fake…”I yelled, hitting my hand against the wall.Elder Thomas talked back to me.“If it was truly a mistake, then you have to take responsibility for your actions.”“You wouldn't j
Vivian's Pov I changed into something simple but clean, my fingers trembling slightly as I buttoned the last clasp. My heart wouldn’t slow down. I couldn’t even look at Damian. He was still on the floor whispering like a lunatic and yes, he was slowly becoming one.The guard had already run downstairs and I had to follow behind. Step by step, I descended the stairs, each one feeling heavier than the last.Instantly, I was almost near the courtroom. My gaze landed on the Elders, lined up like statues, their expressions grim and unblinking.My wolf announced to me that they knew.They had already found out what happened.“Keep calm, Vivian.”“ Breathe. You’re Luna. You’re supposed to be in control.” My wolf encouraged me.So I straightened my spine, lifted my chin, and walked down like nothing was wrong.But deep down my heart was racing fast.Everything was wrong.Immediately I walked into their midst, Elder Johny was the first to speak. His eyes locked onto me like a hawk.“An abomi
Kyler’s POV“Alpha Kyler… open the door!”The banging on the door didn’t stop but instead it grew louder.“Kyler!”“Kyler... please, just open the door!”I closed my eyes and leaned back on the wall, trying to block out the voices. My chest felt heavy. I didn’t just want to see anyone.“I said go away!” I shouted. “I don’t want anyone around me! Leave me the hell alone!”I reached into the drawer and pulled out a smoke. Lit it and inhaled deeply and suddenly the room started to fill with thick, black smoke. Just the way I liked it.I inhaled the smoke and exhaled deeply, dropping the smoke on the floor.The smoke did nothing to soothe the pains that I felt but instead it burned my lungs.And then the banging at the door came again followed by a masculine voice.“Alpha Kyler, there’s someone at the door you’ll want to see.”I pulled the smoke from my lips and stared at the door, my heart racing.“…Who?” I asked, my voice low.There was silence at the other end and a soft voice gentle
Vivian's PovI held his arm gently as we walked out of the hall, the Elders watching us. The moment we stepped out, the omegas scrambled like frightened chickens, dropping trays and bowing too deeply.I smiled broadly.I loved how they tripped over themselves, trying not to make eye contact. Every time they looked at me, they looked away twice as fast.Good.That’s how it should be.I loved power and obedience.I just loved the way they regarded me.We walked down the corridor, and Damian stayed quiet for a while, his footsteps heavy and tired. But then, he finally spoke.“Can you believe Elder Jossy?” he muttered beside me as we walked. “Speaking to me like I’m some sick old wolf.”I gave him a small, concerned look. “He did a lot today.”“I should’ve slapped him,” Damian growled.“Just one good slap across that wrinkled face of his.”I chuckled under my breath. “Now that would’ve made the headlines—Alpha goes wild in council chamber. What next? You rip his beard off too?”He let
