Se connecterJace's POV "Why are you pretending you care about me?" Aiden said, a sad smile on his lips. "You literally drugged me. You made my wolf weak. You knew I was father's next and only option. You did this purposefully, didn't you?""Lower your voice, man. None of us is just." I replied with a much calmer voice. "You lured me out of Velmora to have fun with you on the mountains. What was your purpose?" "I am not ready to discuss that with you. In fact, I'm done with this one. I've got to go," he said, his voice filled with frustration. My men quickly held him down, forcing him back to his seat. "I may have been removed from the seat of power, but I am not powerless. I've got loyal supporters." I educated him. "You can't afford to walk out on me just like that. Have this chat or have yourself to blame." "We were in the mountains in the woods because we wanted to have fun. That's the summary of the experience. I don't know why you think I set you up. I wouldn't do that. Doesn't it sound
Nina's POV"Kate?""Nina?" Kate turned to face me, her eyes lit with excitement. "How are you here now?""Kate, what the fuck are you doing in Velmora? Didn't you say you'd be gone for two months?" I queried, my heart shaking with terror. I didn't want to believe the guess that was coming to mind."What does it look like, Nina?" Kate retorted, pointing to her guards, offering a vicious smile."How did you convince Derek to make you Luna of this pack?" I pressed. "How is this happening?""I was as shocked as you are now. Derek found me in the clubhouse. I was sorrowful. You didn't look for me. You didn't even care about why I would be gone for two months. You didn't even send a text message. All through the sorrow, Derek made himself available to comfort and console me. We fell in love, and he promised to reward me," she explained. I heard footsteps thudding towards us, and according to the pattern, I knew it was Jace."You betrayed me, Kate. How could you accept his offer?" I challeng
Nina's POV"Thank you for being here with us. I am glad to let you know that we are going to change the leader of Velmora today. This is why we asked you to assemble here. Please pay maximum attention to my words." Father began his speech. The wolves listened with utmost caution and the silence in the hall pierced my skin. This was an embarrassing moment. I never saw it coming. I couldn't do anything to make it stop. I couldn't control the occurrence but I could make up my mind to not get hurt. "We have recorded one hundred and fifty deaths in the past one week. The case was reported to me and I knew I had to address it. Jace, my son, who won the competition and was allowed to be your ruler, signed the letter requesting for the mass slaughter of the wolves. I hereby apologize to the family of the wolves that tragically passed away. Please accept my condolences." He announced. Everyone stayed quiet still. There were hundreds of workers in the hall whose main job was to ensure order a
Nina's POV"What are you talking about, Derek?" I confronted him. "We made a deal. Why aren't you fulfilling your role?" "I tried to change his mind but he was determined to make Jace step down. He doesn't like Jace and he's going to announce his decision to the wolves. It's allowed. The former ruler of the throne, if connected superiorly to the new ruler, can, in the most legal way, declare injustice when confirmed and impeach the current leader." Derek explained the rules. "It's a blessing in disguise actually. Since you couldn't do anything to help me with Jace's case, the five-year sex contract is canceled." I reminded him, but a little smile tugged at his lips. "Your signature and mine are on the physical copy of the contract. That's enough proof. Before the day turns dark, you would have to come over to my pack for a few rounds of sex." Derek announced, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "If you refuse to come, I will show your followers the contract we signed.""Well, I did it
Aiden's POV "If you feel afraid, remember that my pack signed a contract with Velmora. We are one of Velmora's major weapon suppliers. Your father won't go back on his words." Derek reassured. Father truly desired to watch me rule the wolves he once ruled but the pressure to make sure the process was fair enough made him suggest an open competition. I noticed the shortage of weapons in the store, informed Killian about it but he showed negligence. He didn't even talk to Jace about it. He yelled at me, ordering me to monitor the restocking of the weapons that we need. I never knew it was a blessing in disguise. The men in charge of the weapon store made me understand how weapons were being made and imported from the same pack where Derek belonged to. I spoke to him over the phone. He came over to Velmora to strike a deal with me. He wanted to be an official in Velmora. He loved the atmosphere of the pack and how loyal and obedient the wolves were. He revealed that, even though he'
Nina's POV"How do you intend to resolve this issue?" I questioned, curious about his devious tactics. "This is a deal. How I intend to resolve it is my role to play." He answered. "Are you interested?" "Can you ask for something else in return for the favor?" I asked. Several thoughts ran through my mind as I stared at his desperate, sex-starved face. "All I want is your signature on the five-year sex contract. I have a meeting with my team. I have to return to my pack. Let me know if you're ready to save your little boy or not." A smirk danced on his lips as he said, his fingers tapping on the table to challenge the unusual silence that suddenly reigned. I heaved a deep breath as I concluded. "Fine. I'll sign the contract.""I have the printed copies. Place your signature and the Luna's private stamp on this. As soon as you do that, come with me and let's get this started." He said, his tone filled with desire. "This isn't the definition of friendship. You should be able to do
