ログインNina's POV"It's a tough one. So I'm gonna give you some time to think about it. You know where to find me," Derek shook hands with me, offered a smile, and walked out of my room. I tried to call him back, but he was out of sight. I could have pinned him till Jace would arrive and see for himself. I locked the door and hurried to the restroom to have a quick shower. I needed to be ready. Jace would soon be here. Half an hour later, I came out of the restroom, wearing a light dress with no underwear. I'd expected to hear several knocks on the door but there was no one. The doorbell wasn't even rung. Jace wasn't coming anytime soon, or was I wrong?I picked up my cellphone and dialed his number. He didn't take the calls either. With a frustrated sigh, I smashed the phone to the bed, crashing onto the same bed as well, my eyes staring at the ceilings. And then a gentle knock came on the door, just as a smile crept to my chin. I ran to get the door open and my heart stopped when I reca
Nina's POV"We're screwed, Nina. Where is your brother?" Jace slammed his fists on the table as he yelled. "Get out of here and find Killian. He must know how this happened!"I quickly got up from the seat, fazed by how desperate he was to get a solution to this. "How could my brother set you up? He wouldn't do that, you know?" "My brother, Aiden, and your brother, Killian, are the prime suspects. They both returned to the pack the night we were in the woods. We didn't return until the following morning. How could I have placed my stamp on this?" Jace retorted, his tone filled with anger and frustration. "I think you need to find a way to make Aiden confess that he did it. Killian wouldn't ever involve himself in this." I rolled my eyes up in my head. Perhaps this was why Killian was skeptical to work with him as the Beta of Velmora. "Listen to me, Nina," he rose up to his feet, his eyes filled with horror and panic, "I don't think you get it. If I go low, you go lower. We're in th
Jace's POV"Do you have proof to show that you were absent from Velmora last night?" Aiden queried as he answered the question. "No, you don't have one proof. This is the reason why you won't win this case. I will advise you to do whatever father tells you to do, so things don't get complicated." "What are you talking about, Aiden?" I questioned, my eyes filled with confusion. "You don't sound shocked. You aren't surprised to know this. Are you?""Of course not. I was deeply sad to hear about the news of the passing of more than fifty wolves of this pack because you approved the killings. Go to the meeting and tell them whatever you can, but you can't win the case. I assure you." "Did you strike a deal with father?" I queried. That was all I could think of right now. My head was spinning. This wasn't sounding hilarious any further. My heart was beating fast. I was being falsely accused and my closest buddies weren't acting bothered. "Why would you say that?" Aiden sat up on the cha
Jace's POV"That was so rough. We barely made it out of there." Nina ranted as we stepped out of the woods. It was dawn already. We weren't able to return to the pack last night because we couldn't find our way out. We could actually kill the rogues standing in our way but saving our energies and finding a safe place for the night looked like the better option. "It could have been much easier if Killian or Kate was around. Both are keen on saving me and you, respectively. But we did. The guards were functional. There were no casualties, especially because of the decision I made, which is to remain in the woods till the following morning." I replied to her. She didn't say anything else till we reached Velmora. The guards moved forward to ensure no one would approach us while some stayed behind. Smiles tugged at our lips as we realized the level of respect from the wolves of Velmora. It was outstanding. And leaders would be motivated to save and lead these people with honesty. "Where
Nina's POV"I would like to suggest a very dangerously fun game but my brother has issues with trusting his people." Aiden started, his arms crossed over the shoulders of the female guard as his eyes fell on mine."I will be surprised if anyone is afraid to be here. There are tens of security guards protecting us. We've got another batch of guards ready to take down rogues if they show their ugly faces." Aiden bragged."Shall we begin the game?" Killian quickly asked. I was going to ask the same question, but I didn't want to say anything."Of course. It's Truth or Dare. The game is more fun under the cool light of the moon on a mountain as high as this," Aiden con
Nina's POV"It's a good idea actually but have you considered the consequences that may come with this?" I replied to Jace who sat down across from me, drumming his fingers on the table. "I just want to make my brother happy. To lose that great competition to your brother isn't as easy as you think it is." Jace said, his tone laced with concern. "I know he isn't worth being made happy and alright but I wanna do this. It's a reflection of who I truly am, not what he's done to deserve it.""That's how leaders think. I'm not surprised, but I am impressed, I have to say," I said, nodding as I offered a gentle smile too. "What's on your mind by the way? How do you intend to make him happy? You know he's a rascal guy. What really makes him happy may go against the laid-down rules of the pack.""He brought a suggestion actually, and I said I was going to inform you." He started, clearing his throat. "It's nighttime and we are going to the woods to have fun on the mountains. Don't worry abou
