NARRATIVE POV

“Let me out! This is an order from your Beta!” Aiden growled in a low, threatening tone. “Do you not understand that my wife is out there, injured and potentially dying?”

Aiden played his role well, and the guards exchanged glances. A growing divide was emerging within the pack.

Many thought Aiden was guilty, but cleverly covering up his actions, while others thought he was being framed and falsely accused, while the rogues who really harmed Frankie had managed to escape unseen.

“Bullsh.it!” Gamma Ryner stepped into the cement corridor of the holding cells. His eyes were deadly, locked onto Aiden. The guards noticed the look in their Gamma’s eyes; he looked as though he were standing before his greatest enemy and not the pack's Beta.

“Ryner, look, I need you to hear me out. I need to be let out of here. Frankie is out there. She needs me!” Aiden’s eyes began to well up, and tears started to fall.

Ryner scoffed. “You play the victim well, Aiden. You’ve been doing it your

    ARIA POVMy heart clenched at the thought. My wolf, Lyra, whimpered. She was a sister to us, and she was hurting without anyone to help her through it. Sure, she could have technically come to talk to us, but I know my parents were determined to make this marriage work. Had Frankie gone to them? Did they tell her to grin and bear it for the term dictated? It sounded like something they might do, although they didn't fully understand the extent of her misery. Did she go to Oli? He’d become distant and cold after the wedding. Were they still even friends?I had too many questions, and I was going to get them all answered. Frankie was a part of my soul. I loved her with everything in me, as did Lyra. We were going to figure this out.We pulled up to the pack house, a place that once brought me smiles and laughter, but now felt like a cold tomb.There was no joy without Frankie in this house, because without Frankie in it, it wasn’t a home anymore.I stepped out of the car while my driver

  • The Luna’s Wrath   Chapter 33

    ARIA POVI was about to enter our pack territory, and I noticed that the aura around the pack was dark and reeked of death and doom. It was unexpected and unsettling. My pack has always felt warm, welcoming and joyful.I had only been gone for two years. It had never felt like this before, so did it happen while I was gone, or was it because of Frankie's death?Just the thought that Frankie was gone brought tears to my eyes. Again.Frankie.My Frankie!A sob shook my body. My assigned pack driver watched me struggle to compose myself in the mirror. He handed me back a tissue with a sympathetic smile.“Miss Aria, the pack has been blanketed by a sheet of sadness for the past week. Nothing feels like it did before. Many are hurting over this loss.” My driver says, I detect sadness in his tone.Frankie was kind to everyone, as long as they didn’t pis.s her off, that is. She was a firecracker when she was in warrior mode. She became an unstoppable beast in the training matches, but outsid

    OLIVER POV“Sit, Oliver. We need to discuss our situation.”With a sigh, I picked up my overturned chair and flopped down on it.“I received a notice from the Royal Courts. Oliver, you need to release him.” My father started.My eyes nearly popped out of my head. “No! He is my top suspect!” I wouldn’t entertain the idea for a second. Of course, he wants to protect the weak son.“There is no evidence tying Aiden to Frankie's death. It is unlawful to detain him any longer than you already have. Word got back to the Royals about a murder, and Aiden was being held in lockup with no attorney or evidence. I don’t know how they found out so fast, but the Royal Beta has dictated that Aiden Harris is to be released until proven guilty.”I pushed from the chair. “He did it! There isn’t a doubt in my mind that if we release him, he will cover up any trail we may have.”“Oliver, our hearts are just as broken by the loss of Frankie. She was very much one of our pups, even before she married Aiden.

    OLIVER POVI’ve been wallowing in my own guilt and shame for days now. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Frankie that morning, begging me to set her free from Aiden. I see the hurt in her eyes when I respond and send her right back to him. I see the way her face falls when I tell her that she can die or leave the pack.Why? Why the fu.ck would I do that? Frankie was my everything, and I did this. If I had pushed my pride aside and helped her, she wouldn’t have died that night. I was such a fu.cking idiot. It was all my fault.Stop! Deek whimpered, but he was no better. He carried just as much shame for our actions as I did. We had to keep our distance, but we didn't need to hurt her like we had. It was uncalled for, and we'd forever feel this regret because of it. Frankie was right; she was always right. We screwed up and allowed our bruised pride to speak for us. Worse, it was allowing him back in.Everything about Frankie was perfect, even the things she classified as flaws. I neve

    NARRATIVE POV“Alpha, we found something over here.” Retired Gamma Mike Hill calls out, and both Ryner and Oliver walk over.Mike is crouched down with the inspector. They were examining a large area of darkened and charred staining on a few of the floorboards that were not entirely destroyed by the fire.“What is that, Dad?” Ryner asked as he crouched down next to his father.“We can’t be certain just yet, but my nose is rarely wrong. I was a tracker before I became a Beta, Alpha. I believe this is blood. And I suspect there was a lot of it.” Mike’s facial expression was tight and grim.“Blood?” Oliver growled.His thoughts rushed forward, filling his head. Was this where Frankie was murdered? Why else would there be the potential discovery of blood and a fire the day after Frankie disappeared? This was too much of a conscience.What Oliver did know was that if this were tested and turned out to be Frankie’s blood, it would mean that Aiden had nothing to do with it. He had been in lo

  • The Luna’s Wrath   Chapter 29

    NARRATIVE POVThe flames consumed the old cabin, and the smoke filled the forest.Frankie watched from a safe distance away, watching as the fire started to tear down and burned to ruin her final resting place.Who had set the fire? She wasn’t sure, but her three wolves flanked her sides and ensured that no one detected their presence. Frankie hadn’t awoken yet. She was still hollowed and adapting to being physically on earth again.The burning flames flickered over the gloss of her blackened eyes. Her face held no emotion. She watched with a curious emptiness, but could not turn away.The fire enticed something within her.The pack sounded an alarm once smoke was detected from the town, where most residents were busy themselves. The firefighters arrived quickly.“Who started this fire?” Alpha Oliver growled as he assessed the intensity of the fire that was beginning to lean towards the surrounding trees.The last thing any pack wants is an uncontained forest fire. The forest was not
