Alpha Jasper's POVDespite knowing how Anna was going to react to what I was about to show to her, that didn't stop me from pulling her to the punishment ground. Up until this moment, I was regretting my actions of not passing verdict on Selena myself. If I had, she would have been in the dungeon, gnashing her teeth and howling like the other wolves who were serving their punishment. Until it was nightfall and time for bed, Anna didn't say anything to me. She kept to herself and I knew it was the aftermath of what she had seen. Certain that she was now asleep, I swung my feet off the bed and with my robes off and barefooted, I made my way towards the door. Yanking it open, I took one last look at her sleeping figure before I got out and then shut the door slowly. With my hands tucked inside my pocket, I walked down the hallway until I got to the eighth door and then pushed it in. Immediately, everyone halted in their activities as I made my way inside the room. Getting to the m
Maya's POVIt has been three days now since the ugly event, yet I was unable to get my mind off it. Each time I close my eyes to sleep, it comes traveling down my memory lane. Whenever I didn't have anything to do, it pops up again, in fact, it didn't want to leave me alone and it was frustrating. Still fuelling with anger and embarrassment that Alpha Noah had caused me, I haven't been able to look Anna in the eye, not to talk of going to see her. No one needs to tell me that my presence was going to bring back memories and I hated it. Pulling my legs to my face, I fell on the floor with my head buried in between my thighs. It was hard trying to contain my emotion but I had to try. I was going to give it a go because I needed to be strong for Anna's sake. She was weak and she needed me to be by her side at all times. Snapping my head upwards suddenly, my mind went to Selena. Because of the resentment I was brewing towards Alpha Noah, I had failed to remember the mastermind of the
Anna's POV Despite the fact that it had been days since the ugly incident , it had been hard for me to forget about everything that had happened. Each time I thought about it, I always shuddered and it was as if the next minute I was going to pass out with fright. To make matters worse, the whole Moonlight Pack was talking about it. Everyone had their own version of the story and their drawn out conclusion too. Even when it was blaring clear that it was a conspiracy all along, some pack members didn't believe I was innocent. I wouldn't blame them though because I wasn't expecting everyone to believe the tale, especially those who wanted to kill me so badly. Now resting against the cold wall, I dug my finger into my hair and then tugged it for a while before I started combing through it with my fingers.Because of the news that was all over the pack, Alpha Jasper had ordered me to remain in the chamber. I get that he was trying to protect me from those malicious people but that d
Chapter 73Anna's POVInstead of Alpha Noah leaving after chiding him, he stood there staring at me with his lips pursed. The more I looked at him, the angrier I became. He had this look on his face that made me want to hit him so badly. Whoever told him that if he persisted with his chase I was going to succumb must have been trying to fool him because no matter what he did, I wasn't going to forgive his defamation. If only I had known that it was going to turn out this way, I wouldn't have rescued him. I did that because of a pure heart and not because of any form of connection. “Why are you doing this to me Anna? I have tried to show you that instead of obsession, it's love that I feel towards you but instead you push it back in my face.” he said, trying to touch my arm.“Stop it.” I snapped at him. Pissed off, I dug my hand into my hair and then stormed off, anger surging through my veins. As I made my way back into my chambers, I was wondering how he had managed to sneak into
Alpha Jasper's POVWhen the news came to me that Alpha Noah was in the pack, I knew at once that he had come for Anna.Knowing fully well that he was going to return some day, I had asked my guards not to accost him whenever he came around. As for Lilian, I had punished her because she failed to hold Anna back. Maybe it was because of my leniency, so I decided to correct it. This time around, I was going to ensure I was firm with my words so that everyone would know their place and be up and doing. Walking down the hallway after leaving the chambers, I motioned to a guard who quickly hurried towards me but before I could pass my message across, Beta Jacob came along. Waving him off, I gestured to Beta Jacob who quickly made his way towards me and with his head bowed, he said, “My lord.” Still walking down the hallway, I said, “Gather all the beta, gamma and omega at once. We should meet in the courtroom.” “Yes my lord.” He replied and then went ahead to carry the instruction and
Chapter 75Selena's POVEver since Maya confronted me openly, I haven't been myself since it was the first time that something of this sort was happening. Though embarrassed by the scenario, I wasn't scared by her threat. If she thinks she could protect Anna from me, then she must be a pathetic dreamer. For a few days now, after the incident, I have been by myself, strategizing my next course of action. At some point I was discouraged because I wouldn't get to see Alpha Jasper because of Anna's request but that didn't deter me. Leaning against the cold wall, I shut my eyes tightly, reviewing all the different strategies I had listed out but none was good enough. If Maya wasn't here, I know for sure that I would be able to launch my plan effortlessly but with her presence, it was going to be tough. “I need something more concrete. Something that will throw everyone off balance “ I muttered, twirling my hair in between my fingers. After a long while of racking my brain, I pushed m
Chapter 76Alpha Noah's POVAfter the courtroom saga and how Maya had treated me with disdain on my way out, I decided to give up on the fight and lie low. My decision didn't last for long because with each passing minute, I would start to imagine Anna in my arms. She was all I lived for and letting her go just like that wasn't easy for me. Resting my head against my study table, I tried to forget about the whole thing and focus on the scroll in front of me but each time I decide to do so, her face will appear in my head, clouding my senses. Unable to bear it anymore, I pushed the chair backwards and then stepped out of my chambers only to be accosted by Beta Liam who was directly behind the door. “My lord, where are you headed?” He asked. “Moonlight pack.” I snapped at him, brushing him off my path. “What?” He gasped with his hands over his mouth. Ignoring him, I continued walking towards the exit when he suddenly appeared in front of me. He tried to catch his breath before sp
Chapter 77Author's POVThe noise of battle rented the air as Alpha Jasper and his army continued their procession into the Crestwolf Pack. His army set fires in any house they came across and once the building erupted into flames, the occupants would all come rushing out, trying to fathom what was going on only to get killed. This process went on for a while before others became alert and they tried to alert the pack house but it was too late. The moonlight pack had infiltrated into their pack and there was no hiding place for anyone. “Kill everyone, from the old to the young, even sulking pups, kill them all.” Alpha Jasper yelled from where he stood. At his command, his army doubled their attack, taking down three at all time as they continued moving further into the pack, the blades of their swords shimmering under the bright sunlight. It was a war that was going to make waves in the history of werewolves for generations to come. Apart from punishing Alpha Noah for crossing
