MasukCALEB’S POV
I was standing at the front of the car, beside me was Ethan, he had also shifted, Tyler is one of the strongest wolf after mine in our pack that was the sole reason for appointing him as my beta. We both were watching the group of rogues intently, their every steps were in our sight the only reason we had not jumped on them was because Noah was driving the car to the back of the tree where he can hide it very well, we do not want them to learn about Lilith’s presence. Once Noah will give a go ahead to me I will kill all of them. No mercy in my dictionary for these rogues who are not loyal to any one and are threat for us. The opponent's black wolf growled looking at us, apparently he was leading this group and they were definitely heading towards any pack to attack and we have ruined their mission by interruption. ‘Alpha! You are set to go’ as Noah’s voice heard to me through the link, I turned my head to Tyler and nodded giving him permission to begin the attack. We both growled together signaling them of our intention. My first target was the black wolf who was their leader, because he was in front of all of them and I am afraid that he might have seen Lilith in the car, he could be threat for my mate so he needs to die first, rest will be easy to deal. The fight between us carried for don’t know how long but Kaden and Tyler were able to kill almost of them, few were injured but if they will not get any treatment within an hour or so, they will be lying dead like their fellow wolves. Kaden was sniffing to find if any rogue is left or hiding behind the trees but there was none and the last remained wolf’s neck was between the mouth of the Tyler, it will be dead in few seconds I know that. ‘We can shift back now Kaden’ I suggested to him, but he doesn’t look convinced, as if there was still threat lying over us. ‘Alpha! You need to come here fast’ Noah’s panic voice echoed in my head, Kaden was quick, the only thought came in our mind was Lilith. ‘Mate is in danger’ Kaden rushed towards the trees where Noah had hide the car, it took us a moment to find them as he had taken little deep in to the forest. ‘Why the hell he had gone so deep’ Kaden growled, he was worried for his mate. ‘I thought, this way they will not be able to smell us’ Noah’s faint voice received, as I have kept the link open for now he was able to hear Kaden. He was panting by which I conclude that he had also shifted and was trying to protect his Luna, but it also did not help in making Kaden relax. ‘If anything happens to my mate, they are dead Caleb’ he warns me, and jumped on the wolf not even taking a moment to analyze the situation. They were three wolves, which I suppose had followed them the moment we exited the car, that bastard had already commanded them to follow the car, damn it. It took us few minutes to clean the scene, Tyler had also joined us in between. We all were injured, not badly but had many cuts on our body, few were deep. I know they will be healed. We shifted back in to our human form and Noah was quick to open the trunk and fetch out our clothes that are always kept in them in case of emergencies like now. ‘You guys think that you can drive?’ I asked seeing their body covered in blood. ‘Would you mind taking a turn? Until we get healed?’ Ethan suggested and I nodded as my strength is more than them and I can take on from here for the next few hours. ‘Why the hell our pack is so far from the greenwood’ I groaned in pain, two hours has passed and we had just crossed half of the distance, if it wasn’t for the rogues we might be near to our pack by now. ‘Let me drive and you can rest’ Ethan was seated at the passenger seat we did not touch Lilith as none of us wanted to disturb her was the first reason, the other was we had not clean the blood from our body and all of us were afraid of her reaction. It would be best if she wakes up when we reach to the pack. I exchange the seat and now it was Ethan driving, but we all jolted up when we heard the soft and sweet voice of my mate. ‘We haven’t reached yet?’ she was talking to Noah. I eyed the broad smile that made its way on his lips. ‘The jerk is happy to talk with his Luna’ I muttered quietly, not happy to watch my closest persons getting along with her. ‘We are just about to reach Luna’ I saw her blushing through the side mirror of the car, she liked the title. ‘Luna are you hungry?’ we have traveled the whole night, and it was now getting brighter as the sun was ready to rise, I was glad that we are just few kilometers away from our pack. Noah had given her some snacks and now she is munching on them. The ride was quiet none of us was speaking, as for us boys, we were hell tired by the yesterday’s hectic journey and fighting with rogues has just exhausted us more. For my mate she looks an introvert person to me. ‘Tell Noah to ask from her about herself’ while I was surely glaring the roads for being so long, Kaden chirped in making me to roll my eyes. He was already fond of her. ‘Didn’t you said that her wolf had tell you everything already about her’ I remembered how he was yelling at me acting like a possessive lover. ‘Are you talking to Noah or should I give you another warning’ I narrowed my eyes to glance at the reflection of my mate on the mirror, she was busy in eating the snacks, I sighed, the dog in me is gonna make my life hell, I am getting the feeling. ‘Noah, can you please ask her little questions about herself, Kaden is eager to know about his mate’ I mind linked Noah and assigned a task to him, making sure my voice sounds extremely annoyed. ‘Kaden only? Not you Alpha?’ I face palmed, causing both of them to chuckle, whereas Lilith was looking at all of them with astonishment.CALEB’S POV‘You should have called me’ I was informed of arrival of Uncle Victor by my Patrol team. I was surprised, he did say that we will have the next meeting soon, but I wasn’t hoping it to be at my office and that soon, anyways, I rushed to greet him at the door, simultaneously alerting Ethan and Noah to get a good dinner prepared for him, he isn’t going without dinner with us.I shook hands with him while complaining that he should have informed me, I would have personally come to greet him on the border, and he wouldn’t have to go through the hustle of checking.‘It feels good visiting this pack after a long time, the air is still same, misty, filled with scent of sand and forest.’ He inhaled deeply and smiled. A sad smile made its way on my lips. He was talking about days when he frequently visits dad.‘Alexander would be proud of you,’ he patted me on the shoulders, and I lightly bowed my head, accepting his appreciation.‘I am trying my best to run the pack as my dad did,’
LILITH’S POVI was looking for Harper everywhere in the packhouse. I confirmed by the people working on ground floor that she hasn’t left the pack house, which means she is here, but I can’t see her. I entered the kitchen, it was last place remained, I twitched my lips when I found the kitchen empty, I was turning when my gaze fell on the window, I squinted my eyes and walked towards the door which is used as shortcut to go in the backyard.‘You’re here? I was looking you inside’ I slumped down on small hill beside her. She was staring at the sky, lost in her thoughts, not aware of her surroundings at all. She was startled by my presence and hung her head low, averting her gaze. I took my lower lip between my teeth and exhaled a frustrating sigh, our encounters before today were never pleasant, and for today I don’t know yet what will happen, however, by her hunched back and lower shoulders, distant gaze I hope
CALEB’S POVI watched my mate leaving the room, once door closed and we were both left I motioned for him to sit.‘Want some drink?’ I asked casually, while picking the bottle from the cornered shelf and started to pour for myself.‘No, thank you for asking Alpha’ he was formal, at distant and tense, I scrutinized his expressions and could tell his mind was still on his mate, Harper. I poured two glasses of wine and placed one in front of him, he was surprised to see, and I know he wanted to refuse again but I stopped him.‘Drink it, you need to lose’ he exhaled a weary sigh and picked the glass, a man who was denying to drink now gulped down whole content in one go, he shut his eyes and flinch at the bitter taste, I chuckled.‘You shouldn’t have gulped in once, it tastes bitter’ I motioned towards the glass in my hand, while taking a small sip, I was more in swirling the content then drinking it, it sometimes helps you to keep your mind focused on one thing.‘This bitterness is nothi
WILLOW’S POVI was running in the forest, intended to get as far as I could get from the pack house. Tears falling from my eyes, the pain was unbearable, fear consuming every part of my body.I knew he was right; he is my mate. I knew the moment I stepped into the room, but I had no good hope from him, how I could have, when my parents abandoned me because of who I am, why would he accept me. I didn’t panic, I controlled myself and pretended as if he didn’t exist, Isaac’s presence helped a lot and I rushed to hug him, but I think, it was mistake on my part, I mistakenly ignited his jealousy or we could say male ego and he came in action instantly and the secret I was holding or probably he was too, blew up in front of so many people, specially the Alpha and Luna and now granny will tell them my story.I fell on my knees, my feet hurt but most importantly my heart was weeping quietly, my energy draining.I still remember the day when granny handed me over an old, folded paper. My life
LILITH’S POVI chuckled, even in this very tense moment I can’t keep myself from laughing lightly at the reaction of my mate.I can tell what was going on in his mind, I am surprised too by this coincidence but don’t react openly like him.‘Relax! You can’t control who become whose mate’ I whispered to him, running my hand on his arm, and his muscles lose under my touch. I was glad about the progress of our relation, the night he marked me willingly was the most beautiful and will remain memorable night for me, although he stopped going far, I didn’t mind, he needed the time. Whatever is making him reluctant to accept our bond, I have decided to give him a time and wait patiently for him to come back to me.‘I am not Hybrid; I am witch only’ my focus was on my mate when Willow’s high pitched tone forced me to look at her with astonishment. She has pulled out her hand from Noah’s grasp, she doesn’t seem fine, like she would go in panic mode anytime.‘Nor am I your mate’ her eyes turnin
CALEB’S POV‘We have to send our spies in those packs; they need to find out what the pack members think of the death of their last Alpha and their reviews about current Alpha’‘How would it help us to track rogues?’ Lilith questioned.‘As I said there is high chances that those Beta’s were persuaded to betray their Alphas, so there is likely the rogue leader behind all this. We need to find more common things that had happened in those packs before and after death of those Alphas. Maybe, that rogue leader visits often those packs’ their was a deep silence in the room, everyone was processing my words, even I was also doing reworking of my plan in my mind, ensuring I was not leaving in any loop that could cost us heavily in coming days.‘How long should it take?’ Ethan asked.‘Not more than a week. I want reports on all these packs on my tables by next Thursday, staying longer could make us suspicious’‘Noted, leave this on me. I will assign the teams and keep you updated with progres
