Skye's POV"Ok, so explain to me why there's another new girl yet again, sitting with Alec? Who is she? Why has no one mentioned her to me?" Keira asked, glaring at Kristen who was laughing along with Alec and his friends in the dining table. I heard from Nathan that it was her name, we bumped and saw each other a couple of times in the hallway but we never really talked, and she seems pretty decent. But I just can't shrug away the feeling that something was off with her.It was only Keira and I right now, since Nathan has yet again abandoned us, and was off somewhere on his own.Don't get me wrong, we already made up, but things have been a little sticky after Keira woke up.He's always running errands and also skips school more often than usual.Just what is he up to?"Hey! Skye. Are you listening to me?" Keira snapped her fingers right in front of me, taking me back from my stupor."What?" I asked cluelessly. Keira was now really acting grumpy, adding to the fact that I didn't lis
Skye's POV"Skye, look, Nate is looking at you." Keira suddenly nudged my shoulders while were eating in the bustling cafeteria full of students.It was just me and her right now, since Nate, for whatever reason he has, has left us again on our own. "Who?" I asked, not knowing who the person she was talking about."Aside from Alec, he's like the second king in this school. He just got back from vacation so you probably haven't seen him yet. He's the son of Alpha Erik, their pack is not as strong as ours but if we rank them, they could be the fourth in the state." Keira said excitedly telling me to turn my head around.And since she was being annoying about it, I helplessly sighed and spun my head, and she was right, someone was indeed looking at me.He had brown curly hair and eyes, he's quite charming than most guys I see in this school, and when he saw me looking at him, his smile grew wider and his cute little dimples appeared on each side of his cheeks.He suddenly stood up and hi
Skye's POV"Where's Nathan?" I walked up to Keira, and asked when I saw that she was coming out of their classroom alone."He told me he got some emergency, that he needed to go first. Honestly I don't know what's going on with him." She ran a hand over her face.Thinking that he might still be inside campus, I asked Keira if she wanted to go look around for Nathan, but based on her expression it looks like I'll be looking for that guy on my own."I can't. Ever since the accident my parents has been really overprotective of me." She said dropping her head."It's okay, you go first. I'll just check if he's in the school ground or gym." I told her and she nodded her head at me."You sure?" She asked."Don't worry about me, go home." "Okay, but don't be back late." I smiled at Keira as I watched her leave. The hallways were almost empty since I waited for Keira's class to be over, and now it's a bit late.I walked silently in the hallway to the school quadrangle, and my heels would caus
Alec's POV"If you hear or see anything suspicious you all know what to do." My father said with a firm voice, and dispatched our warriors to search the fallen pack of Kristen's family for anything valuable.Everything was mostly destroyed, burned and teared apart.There were broken trees everywhere, and blood smudges on the tree trunks that we passed through.We walked carefully and when I turned to Kristen, she seemed fine. There wasn't any kind of expression in her face that would tell me that she was uncomfortable.Alpha Erik took care of most of the corpses and buried their dead bodies on their grounds. But there were still a lot of bodies that were yet to be taken care off. And we cannot let the authority see any of this, or else it would only bring us great trouble.The closer we were at the houses, the greater the smell of death. "I can sense a great trace of evil in this land." Callum suddenly talked in my head."I know. I can feel it too." I replied back.I continued doin
Skye's POV"I heard what happened last night. I thought everything was okay between you two?" Keira asked me while we walked into the streets to this shop she was telling me that sells good coffee.School was suspended for the day for unknown reasons. But it's not like we were complaining about it. Instead of going home, we decided to go around town. And come to think of it, this might actually be my first time strolling around.I usually just go to school then back to the pack house again, except of course the party thing that I attended, but aside from that, my days have been pretty much dull and have the same routine every single day.I've always felt that I've troubled them too much, not to mention it's Alec's mother who's been paying for everything for me. So I try to stay away from trouble as much as possible.I wonder where she is now. I've never seen her again after the first day I got here. "Hey Skye! There you go again, you're not listening to me." I snapped out of my thou
Skye's POV"You look pale. Are you really okay Skye? We can drop by at the infirmary and get you checked you know." Keira was rattling nonstop since we got out of the alley. My heart was still beating fast even after we arrived at the pack grounds."I'm fine Keira." I tucked in a strand of my hair to my ears, looking around, anxious that the man might have followed us here."If your sure then I won't press." She caressed my shoulder and hugged me. "I have to go, dad's looking for me and he'll surely raise hell if I stall longer here." She chuckled at the last part and started jogging away."Bye..." I waved my hand and stood there a few seconds. And when she was gone, I immediately strutted fast, going to Alec's house.I initially didn't want anyone to know what happened, but I can't just stay quiet knowing that the man might be after Alec's family, especially since he knows me, about us being mated to each other."Hi, is Alec here?" I asked Rufus, a young friendly omega I came to kno
Alec's POV"I heard there's another rogue attack on the far east side from here." Carter muttered.We were on our way to the pack ground since we just got back from Alpha Erik's pack, negotiating a proposal that would benefit us and our allies."They've been unhinged lately. I'm sure a powerful figure is behind them for the rogues to be this courageous," I said, accelerating the car."Or they could be just a bunch of crazy bastards," Carter replied nonchalantly, his attention on his phone.Crossing the border, a strange tension filled the air, making us both shift uncomfortably in our seats. "Rogues." We spoke almost at the same time. "What is happening?" I asked the warriors through the mind link."Sir, there's an attack, but...""But what?!" I impatiently cut off the warrior who seemed hesitant to continue."It's Miss. Skye, sir. She's... taking care of them."My hands gripped the steering wheel harder. What did he mean, Skye was handling the rogues?"How many rogues. And tell me y
Alec's POV"Is she still refusing to come out of her room?" I looked at Keira when she got out from Skye's room.Two days had passed since the rogues had ruthlessly killed that young pack member. I asked Keira if she had known the kid, but even she was unaware of his existence. Only after the incident did I get to know the boy, and tragically, it was the same day he met his demise. But as unfortunate as it was we had to move on, especially since enemies are lurking in the dark.Rufus's mother was still gripped by grief, and we felt helpless in our efforts to console her. We'd cremated his body, placing his ashes in an urn and gave it to her. I went personally to their house, but when she saw me she immediately lashed out, saying that me and my family were incompetent and that we were the reason why her son got killed. She even accused me of bullying the kid which I had no idea where she got it from.I got suspicious why she could point out such an allegation so blatantly without fea
