I didn’t say any of that because I didn’t want Caleb to use it against Kaden later and that was because I knew that he would. He’d twist it around and make Kaden look weak. He’d run his mouth and tell the whole pack that Kaden couldn’t even control his own wolf.So I bit back my words and swallowed everything I wanted to say and just stared down at him.“Just submit!” I shouted again, my voice louder this time, shaking with anger. “Stop being stupid, Caleb and also, Enough of this madness!” But Caleb still tried to push Kaden’s wolf off him one more time. He was struggling hard, but it was no use. Kaden’s wolf was way bigger and stronger, and it had him pinned down completely. His paws were pressing Caleb’s chest into the ground and no matter how hard Caleb squirmed, he couldn’t break free.After a few more seconds, he gave up the moment he realized he had no choice.Caleb’s face twisted in shame and anger as his pride was clearly broken. He slowly turned his head to the side and t
Kaden suddenly growled so loud that it sounded through the whole room and made me shake and before anyone could even understand what was happening, he jumped from his seat and shifted mid-air into his wolf form. His huge wolf landed on top of Caleb with so much force that the table Caleb was standing beside broke. Caleb didn’t see it coming and even I didn’t. Kaden’s wolf let out another deep growl and pressed his big paws hard on Caleb’s chest. He didn’t hurt him, but it was clear that he could if he wanted to becauseCaleb was completely trapped under him.I gasped loudly, my hand flying to my mouth. I didn’t expect Kaden to shift like that, and not so suddenly. It took me by surprise, and for a second, I didn’t even know how to react. I looked into Kaden’s wolf eyes as it turned to look at me and calling out to my wolf with a soft whine and I knew that it was tired of holding everything in, tired of pretending to be okay, tired of the insults, the disrespect, and most of all, t
Nonsense! This is all nonsense!” Caleb suddenly yelled in response, slamming both of his fists on the table in front of him. The sound filled the pack hall and made everyone jump a little.He stood up quickly, his eyes burning with anger and his body vibrating. I could tell that his wolf was almost trying to get out and take control. “Just shut your mouth, Kaden! If you’re not going to say the date for the challenge, then don’t say anything else at all!” he barked, pointing a finger at Kaden like he had no fear at all.I was shocked.Caleb had just shouted at the Alpha, in front of the elders, and no one even said anything to stop him.“I did everything I did for this pack!” He shouted again. “And if I had to do it all over again, I would, without thinking twice. I did what you couldn’t do! I fought for this pack when you were standing and watching. Now you’re trying to turn everyone against me? You’re trying to drag me down? For what? For doing the right thing?”Kaden growled at
Seraya’s POVOh, it’s just funny,” Kaden said as he leaned forward on the table, chuckling. “It’s funny that you say you want to hear my side of the story, when you’ve clearly already made up your mind based on whatever Caleb told you.”He let out a short, bitter laugh and shook his head slowly.“So why should I even waste my time talking? Why should I say anything when I know you’ve already picked your side?” he continued. “I’m even surprised you remembered to ask me for my side. Aw or are you still pretending to care.”The room fell silent as the Elders looked uncomfortable. Some couldn’t look at Kaden in the eyes, while others cleared their throats awkwardly. It was obvious that Kaden was telling the truth and I could also tell that this wasn’t the first time this was happening. They didn’t really care what he had to say and they had already chosen Caleb as the next Alpha in their head. In fact, they wanted him to be the Alpha already. Then one of the elders finally spoke, trying
“What?” I asked, not sure I heard him right.“If you don’t have your powers anymore, then maybe this is the end and maybe I’m not meant to be Alpha anymore. Maybe I should just give it all up and step down,” he said in a weak voice.“No, Kaden,” I said quickly, grabbing his arm. “Don’t say that.”He looked at me again, but his eyes were filled with sadness and defeat.“Seraya, I couldn’t protect my people today,” he said. “I didn’t kill the beast and didn’t stop Caleb. II just watched everything happen and now you’re telling me your powers are gone too. What are we even supposed to do next?”I didn’t even get the chance to answer Kaden because Moses walked into the bathroom. He looked at us wondering what had happened and he had a look on his face like something had just happened because he didn’t even knock.“The Elders have called for you two,” he said. “It’s an emergency meeting and they want to see you both right now.”The moment he said that, I already had a feeling what the me
We were back in the pack house and when we stepped in, I tried to speak to Kaden but he didn’t say a word to me and also ignored me.He just walked straight into our room like a storm and slammed the bedroom door so hard that the walls shook and even I also shook from the force. Then immediately after, I heard another loud sound and I could tell that it was coming from the bathroom. He had gone into the bathroom and from where I sat, I could hear him breaking things from the glass doors to the mirrors and pipes, every single thing that was breakable in the bathroom. He was really,really mad and I heard him growling. I also heard him punch the walls over and over again. It was like he was losing his mind. I didn’t follow him because it wasn’t the time. He was angry and hurt and his feelings were all over the place. Also, walking into a bathroom with an Alpha in that state would be dangerous for me. He wasn’t in control of his emotions and his wolf was close to the surface, and if I
