Third POV.It has been hours since the ambush. Despite that the party did not end well and the alphas were supposed to go to their packs, they couldn't since they had to come together and discuss how to defeat their common enemy. Nonetheless, the Black Moon Pack Alpha's family had angry and ugly faces. After discovering that Leila was actually Liam's mate but was rejected, they knew for a fact that their son will not be able to escape the werewolf punishment rules.How they wished that they had known beforehand and prevented such a calamity to happen to their only son whom they were looking forward for him to take over the throne after he gets the mate.Three figures were in a dark room, one on the window gazing outside, the others was seated on the couch. Even though the room was dark, they could see vividly how the room looked like and what was going on due to the presence of candle lights but the gloomy atmosphere would make one wonder whether one of their people had died. Turning
Aiden's POV."Yes, she linked her shifting and their whereabouts with her life,"Amanda said."But if that's the case, then why was there an attack in Black Moon Pack two years ago? On Leila's sixteenth birthday?" I asked."It's not hard to calculate and guess. After all,their birth was prophesied so I guess the rogues have been waiting for sixteen years and also during that period, it seems that they were investigating which pack was a child born when the occurrences happened," Mike said."The Black Moon Pack was not the only pack that was attacked. They attacked two more packs and took the people who were born on that day, who shifted on that day. Since all werewolves shift for the first time on their sixteen birthday, they attacked and took them but luckily, Leila didn't shift. During these two years, maybe they have been experimenting on the two girls who were kidnapped and they later found out that the kids they picked, none of them was the person they were looking for so they use
Aiden POV.After some few minutes, an old man walked in and I could hear murmurs from the elders but I was silent and couldn't hear what they were saying since all my attention was in the man who walked in since everything that was been discussed was about my mate."Your majesty, my king, my elders," he said as he bowed."Raise up," I commanded and he did as instructed."Josiah, we've heard that you have something to tell about the queen?" dad asked the man and I knew from his sentence that they knew who he was."Yes your majesty," he said without looking up."Old man, why are you talking while looking at the ground? Or the person who you are talking to is seated on your feet?" Lisa asked making the rest chuckle."You bastard," Josiah said."Enough, both of you will take your arguments away. Josiah, the last time you walked in here was forty years ago then five years later you decided that you don't want to be part of the council. Tell us what has made you grant us with your presence
Third POV.When Aiden heard the guards words, he grabbed the chair he was seated on and pushed it backwards making it fall down as he stood up hurriedly.He didn't even give the guard a chance to explain further as he strode towards the door."Where are you going, Aiden?" his father asked as he shook his head at his son's behavior.He had always known his son as a man without feelings and never cared about other people even when they are in danger but whatever happened since he found his mate, he found Aiden just like the others. Even though he understood that he was so worried, he couldn't allow him to disrespect the elders in such a manner. After all, no one can say a word before the old men and women in the room. You may be laughing with them in a minute then the next second, they behave as your worse enemy.Having been on the throne for more than twenty five years, he understood them more than his son did and he had to guide him through and make sure that they elders won't turn ag
Leila POV. I heard Elana calling me but I couldn't see anything no matter what I tried. The darkness surrounded me making it difficult to see anything or even know where I am. Thinking about what happened when I was healing Elana, I could tell the darkness had gotten up with me as I was healing her. I couldn't comprehend whether I successfully healed but I wanted to believe that she was already healed that she was the one who was calling me and that I was not dreaming. "Hahahaha, your sister got some nerves, does she think that I will let you go?" a voice said sarcastically making me look around. "You are so stupid. Are you looking for me? Hahahaha." "Who are you?" I asked as I couldn't see anything no matter how much I tried, making me frustrated. "Don't ask me stupid questions. You are me and I am you," it said coldly, making me shiver in fear before confusion hit me at his words. "What are you saying? How can you be me and you aren't my wolf?" I said. "Don't remind me about t
Third POV. Leila opened her eyes and was covered with a bright light which made her close her eyes immediately. The smell of medicines and the contaminated air made her choke and also knew that she might be in a hospital. Leila calmed her nerves opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling as she concentrated on what the people in the room were saying. "Josiah, when will she wake up?" Aiden asked worriedly as he grabbed the old man's hand. "If you stayed by her side maybe you would have known whether she was awake or not," Josiah answered while his eyes never left Leila's motionless body lying on the bed. He let out a heavy sigh as he shook his head since he had never seen Aiden that worried. Hearing the man's words, all their eyes were on Leila without feeling their gazes, she did not interrupt any of them. Leila wasn't so worried about her big sister's health or whether she had woken up or not because she already knew she was fine. Even though what happened a few minutes or hours a
Third POV. "You don't need to be cautious around me. I can't cause you any harm," Josiah said. A faint smile was evident on his lips. This made Leila to be speechless and look at Josiah in disbelief. 'How the hell did he know what I was thinking?' Leila wondered inwardly. Knowing that she couldn't bring herself to lower her guard in the old man's presence, Leila looked at her sister who was watching her movements closely. Leila blinked at Elana and Elana understood what she wanted since they had been communicating like that since they were kids. "He can be trusted," Elana said, "I think." The sigh of relief that Leila was about to bring out came out as a sigh full of frustration. After that, she knew that she might as well ask Aiden hence she turned her gaze to Aiden. Aiden had heard both Josiah's and Elana's words hence he knew what his mate wanted but still he felt bitter. He wished that Leila had first asked him that question instead of asking Elana after all, he was his mat
Third POV. When Elana heard the question, she hurriedly turned around and her gaze fell on the bed. Even though they had heard the question, they were afraid that Leila's darkness was the one pretending to be Leila hence they were more precautious. On the other hand, when Josiah heard the voice, he let out a sigh of relief because the gods had heard his pleas and had mercy on him. However, he did not dare to look on the bed immediately cause he knew that both sisters were doubting him. Josiah felt someone looking at his every move making him calm as he prepared to look up and see who it was. Looking up, he met Marcus' eyes. Marcus' eyes had not left the old man even after Leila's voice was heard. To him, the old man was more doubtful. He had lived in the godly realm since he was a child hence he believed what he felt. If it were any other person, he would have already seen through them but in front of Josiah, it was like an opaque wall hitting back on him as he tried to enter the
