ORION'S POV I was among the brothers that had been chosen to represent the moon arc pack in the plan to collaborate with the police officers and the drug enforcement commission. However, there was something on my mind, something that had been plaguing me for days. Emilia. Since I had analyzed the situation at home, I know that all I wanted to do was to keep Emilia safe, especially in times like these. No matter how hard I tried to push it away, I still reminded myself that she was mine no matter how much she tried to push me away. I wanted her to know that I was there for her, and even when the times got worse, I could help her out no matter the situation and no matter the circumstances. No matter how tough the going seemed to be, I was ready to sail through with her. “Orion?”It was Logan,dressed in the same black clothes that the masked dealers usually wore. It had been the chief of police plan to make this arrangement after the meeting, as he had suspected that there were peo
TRISTAN'S POVWhen I heard the news, I was devastated. It had begun reaching my ears by midnight, and when by dawn only a few of my men had returned, I knew it was possible.It had happened. The masked dealers had not only been defeated, our drugs and weapons must have been confiscated too. It was happening before my own eyes,and I found it had to believe what the truth was.What had gone wrong?I had been mindlinked with Henry until the explosion. At that moment, everything had seemed to go blank, and all I could hear were the sounds of an ongoing war around him. It was then that it slowly became clear to me. My brothers had attacked, the collaboration with the police had worked. I was gutted, but first of all, before I thought of funding revenge, I had to round up my men, and the commander. For the meantime, Henry was nowhere to be found, and I kept myself busy by comforting the injured and trying to heal them by pressing onto their wounds and hoping the healing powers of my clamm
TRISTAN'S POVBy the time I got back to the palace, it was raining cat and dogs. Drenched by the rain, I hugged my jacket close, my heart hammering in my chest. I was angry. I was annoyed. My head was on fire, and as I slipped into the palace, I found myself wondering who had ordered the strike for the umpteenth time. I was about to enter my room when I found a gathering that consisted of Orion, Logan and two other brothers. They were talking excitedly, and I could tell that something was wrong from the excitement in their voice. “Well, I had to do it. That way, they didn't know we were dressed just like them. It was dad's idea. You know how his brain lights up when it comes to ideas like these? Yes, exactly. It was his idea for us to ambush them whilst still dressed up like them.”I could hear my twin's voice as I hid behind my door, excited and high in pitch. He was the one that had led the ambush and had just confirmed what I had been aiming for for a long time now. The alpha ha
ORION'S POVThroughout the day,I felt oddly tired and nauseous. Something didn't seem right, and I found myself asking people around me what date it was. Maybe it was probably the loneliness in me acting up. I needed to see Emilia, despite the fact that she had asked for the distance that she had put between us to be respected. But I didn't want any of that. I was done with pretending that I was alright without her when I wasn't. Slipping my phone out of my pocket, I dialed her number, pacing my room in worry. I was still pacing when she picked, and I paused, my breath coming in short gasps. I was afraid of the woman I had come to love over the past two months. I was afraid of how she was going to react towards me after such a long time. “Orion?”Her voice was just the same even though we hadn't talked in days. It was the ever rich tenor, and it made me smile for an instant. It made me want to be with her, to at least hold and kiss her at the moment because that was all I felt my
ORION'S POVAs I watched my father trash on the bed that had been made but was now a mess, I found myself wondering if he was going to survive. I was paralyzed by fear, crippled by the fear that my father, the alpha wouldn't survive. I was crippled by the fact that I had never seen him like this, that the strong and able bodied man I had grown up to know was not the same man on the bed, blood dripping from his nose, foaming ridiculously at the mouth. He was convulsing violently, and I continued to look at him, rooted to the spot. It was more than the fear of him not surviving, it was the fear of death. It was the fear that death was finally here to take its debt, and there was nothing that could be done to stop him.Logan's scream and shove brought me back to reality. I had been staring at my father in his sorry state, watching the life seep out of him slowly.“What do you suggest we do? Orion?”I ran my hand through my hair, confusion making everything I was thinking about at that
TRISTAN'S POVWhen I heard the alarm bells in the palace sound, I knew it was happening. I had been waiting all night for this, I had stayed up all night envisioning this. I had imagined what it was going to look like, and now that it was finally happening, I couldn't believe it. Following the sound of Logan's voice that screamed “To the Alpha's chamber!”, I stood up from my bed, smiling. I had done it. I had gotten revenge for my organization. I had gotten revenge for the slain bodies of my men that had been murdered by the collaboration of the police and the arc moon pack. I had done my organization proud, and that was all I wanted. Any other thing could wait. Now all I wanted to do was watch his death. All I wanted to do was see him die before my eyes, just like he had seen my men die. The poison had been a mixture of deadly Nightshade and Wolfsbane, a concoction that I had made specially for him. Only one of it was not enough to defeat a werewolf as strong as he was, so I had
ORION'S POVBy the time I stopped crying, the sun was high in the sky. The sky was gray, and I could see that even the sun was battling its master. It was struggling to rain, it was struggling to weep for the just slain Alpha.It was struggling to weep for the just killed man that had been my father. Sitting on top of his bed as the doctors crowded the room in a bid to transfer his body to the mortuary, I knew that there was literally no use. The brothers were all in the room, all of them too shocked to speak. It was at that moment I knew that they looked like sheep without a shepherd. Somebody had to take control. Somebody had to take charge. “Doctor Holmes,” I said, addressing the slim doctor who was struggling with his glasses in a bid to keep them propped up his nose. “Hope his body will be safe there? We need enough time to prepare the burial rites. We cannot just rush things. Even though I think there is no use because he'll be buried before the week runs out, I believe he wo
TRISTAN'S POV“Look”, I said matter of factly, my hand demonstrating, “we're not going to mourn for days. He's gone, let's face the truth. We need to choose another Alpha. That's all I'm saying.”“Tristan, your twin is right. This isn't the time for this. This isn't the time to make trouble.”I couldn't help it but laugh, looking at Logan. He was infuriated, but I didn't care. Respect for the dead and my brothers could go to hell. As long as I wasn't done with my revenge completely, I was going to continue acting in the way I pleased until my plans were fully carried out. “Because he called me a troublemaker doesn't mean y'all can refer to me by that name. As you can see, he's dead now. Dead men don't bite. And since he always wished for trouble, I'm giving it to him now, even in death.”Before I could see it, the shove had come, Orion planting his fist fully into my chest and pushing me to the wall. I laughed pitifully. He didn't want to do this. He was weak from all that crying, al
