"I'll keep that in mind. But what exactly is causing her to be ill?" Derek asks impatiently. He came with food in his hands. He laid it down to the table beside me and sat on the bed.
"I'm not sick," I said firmly.
"Alpha," The witch interrupts again, "About your question. It seems that something is causing her to be ill. May I ask what happened for her to be covered in blood?"
Was I covered in blood? As I looked down at my clothes, I realized that I was no longer wearing Derek's clothes. Instead, I was suddenly wearing clean and comfortable clothes in bed.
Wait. Who changed my clothes?
"How did you know that?" Derek growls in a threatening manner. When he tried approaching her, she abruptly stopped him by raising her palm.
"Alpha, appease your anger. I saw the blood dirtied clothes in the bathroom. I'm only asking since I need to know other factors that may have affected her current state."
My eyebrow furrowed. Just why is she so det
SEFF's POV"Life is really cruel, don't you think?" I muttered, almost a whisper to the passing air.It hasn't been that long since I started to connect the dots concerning Venus's intentions in Crescent Moon. When Derek said he knew that the assassin who came to his bedroom was his mate, questions began to fill my mind.Like, for instance...Why didn't Derek know his mate was in front of him all along? It was already strange that Venus knew beforehand yet still tried to kill him. I'm starting to wonder, did Venus really try to hurt Derek? My forehead knitted as I tried to think of other reasons.I gave out a huge sigh of frustration.No matter how much I tried to ponder about i
~*~VENUS's POVAfter the witch finally left us alone. Derek briefly sighed before sitting down next to me. With a worried expression, he placed his hand above mine."How are you feeling?"I frowned. I hate to admit it. But the witch's intentions, as she explained to Derek wasn't that bad for me. She told us that getting other data from other witches just risks my life. So in the end, we had no choice but to believe in her words for now."I'm fine. I told you I'm not that sick.""It's not that I don't believe you. But it's just that something inside me is telling me that you're not." His jaw clenched. "I've decided you should res
~*~< 8 hours later >*EASTON's POV*It was finally the day that the summit would take place. As we all woke up and finished our morning training, we took a quick shower before we were told to report back to Alpha Derek.I scratched the back of my head in frustration as I saw how Noah and Liam were taking too long to get changed."Hey! Hey! Hurry up guys! We'll be scolded again!" I knocked aggressively on the door."I've already mindlinked them, but they're not responding," Jojo sighs beside me, "I forgot, aren't they nemesis or something? Is it really alright for them to be in the same room?"
He growls towards my direction. "What are you laughing at?"I snapped back into my usual expression, "N-Nothing. I just remembered something funny. I'm sorry, alpha."His eyes roam towards everyone."This is my last warning. I don't want anyone to be late later when we meet downstairs. One minute late would be subjected to punishment." He orders, using his alpha tone.As he looked again in my direction, I firmly held his gaze and waited for his words to come. After all, I was taking beta Venus's role at these moments."Easton, get the car ready right now. Check if there's anything that would be of concern. If you're done, tell me right away.""Yes, alpha!"Alpha Derek turns his back, and we all dispersed to do what we were ordered to do. The guys went back to their rooms while I went down to the parking lot to check the vehicle. As I arrived at the parking space, I was surprised to see a female leaning by our car wearing a hoodi
~*~The conference room was filled with werewolves from different packs. Each had their sense of distance from each other. All the alphas sat down on their rightful seats while their beta stood beside them.Dark Moon Pack, one of the great five - Alpha Seff, Beta NicolasSilverstone Pack, one of the great five - Alpha Alex, Beta LeeRiverSpring Pack, one of the great five - Alpha Gabriel, Beta RichiBullhead Pack, one of the great five - Alpha rogers, Beta AndyThe Neutral Pack, SunDale Pack - Alpha Shaka, Warrior RyanIn our case, since beta Venus wasn't present, we all stood behind our alpha's back seat. Also, in preparation for the inspection that will soon take place. The air was tense. It's been so long since the last summit that I've almost forgotten the negative pressure that comes along when alphas get together."Is everyone here?" Alpha Derek asks, gaining everyone's attention. Alpha went on to briefly make an in
*VENUS's POV*Why did Shaka agree to attend that meeting when he knew the possibility of getting in between a feud against the Five Great Packs?SunDale pack has never attended a pack meeting involving other packs, so what could be the reason why he suddenly came? Even if he was invited, he could've rejected it, yet here they were, meters away from me.Just what is going on?My mind tried to ponder many things as I stormed inside the building. Since the summit was being held inside a vault room, I relied on my instincts to find one person that could take me there.My mate's scent.It wasn't hard to get through security. I identify as a Crescent Moon wolf from my scent, so they easily permitted my entry. After reaching the end of the hall where his scent was the strongest, I faced the door and made sure that I was wearing my mask."But I'm curious.." A man's faint voice reaches my ear. "It says here that four people won. Aside fr
Alpha Rogers growls, "...then i can assume that you already have seen her face? Alpha Seff.""Of course." Seff grins, "I am a good friend of Derek. It's only natural that I knew the people who are standing beside him, right? Besides, I am also in favor of her hiding her face. Being the beta of Crescent Moon as well as being an unmated she-wolf will put her a lot in danger, and masking her identity will give her protection until her enemies accept her.""Hah... who would accept a she-wolf as a beta? " Alpha Rogers glares at me. "There's a reason why she-wolves have never been allowed to rule a pack. What would you do if her mate showed up? She'll easily betray her people! If that time comes, don't say I didn't warn you!"My eyebrow furrowed as I felt his disgust aimed towards me. Tsk, if only Shaka had ordered me to kill him before. Who knew he could be such a blabbermouth in person?"Enough of this useless talk." Derek finally speaks up, his voice unusual
"Is it important? You're part of Crescent moon now anyway." Derek answered bluntly, his arms crossed. "What?" I scoffed in disbelief. As we both faced each other with furrowed brows, the others couldn't decide on what to do. They tried to comfort me to tell me that it wasn't convenient to talk as we were in the summit room. So they tried to pull as away in a certain distance. This is bad. My anger is getting the best of me. I burst out, pushing off anyone in my way towards Derek, "You still should have least told me! I'm your beta, I shouldn't be the last one to know something like this!" "You're getting mad for nothing, I only want to talk to them after the summit ends-" "Then there was no need to invite them inside the room in the first place, Right? So why! why would you even think about inviting a neutral pack in a Great Five Pack summit!" "This is why." He eyes me up and down in disappointment. "This is exactly the results
