Austin hung up the phone and started crying. Alex had never seen his Alpha cry before. "Austin, I'm so sorry," Alex said. "She's really gone," Austin said. "I thought... I thought I would find her someday. I thought I would be able to talk to her and understand why she killed Maya." "Maybe she didn't kill Maya," Alex said quietly. "What do you mean?" Austin asked. "Think about it," Alex said. "Someone wanted you to think Rosemary was a murderer. Someone wanted you to hate her. Maybe the same person who killed her." Austin looked at Alex. "You think someone has been planning this for a long time?" "Yes," Alex said. "And I think that person is close to us." Just then, Ariana walked into the office. She was wearing a black dress and looked very sad. "Austin, I heard the news," she said. "I'm so sorry about Rosemary." "How did you hear?" Austin asked. "David told me," Ariana said. "The police called him too." Austin looked at Alex. Why would the police call David
The maid dropped the tray on the table and ran out of the room, though the warning was enough for her to stay away from Ariana and David if she really wanted to be alive.Meanwhile, David carried Ariana to her room. He wanted to finish what they were doing before the maid interrupted them earlier."David, we need to be careful," Ariana whispered as he closed the door behind them. "Austin is starting to get suspicious.""Don't worry about Austin," David said, pulling her close. "He's too weak to figure out what's really happening."Ariana smiled and kissed him. "The sleeping potion worked perfectly. He slept through the entire meeting.""My mother's magic is very powerful," David said. "Austin will never know what hit him."But as they were talking, they didn't know that Alex was standing outside the door, listening to everything they said.Alpha Austin was woken up by his Beta early in the morning."Alpha Austin, you have been sleeping too much. You need to wake up. Things are really
David and Luna left Rosemary inside the cage. She was shaking and afraid. She remembered when she was small, her adopted father Francisco used to lock her up inside a wardrobe. Rosemary began to cry, hoping someone could hear her voice and help her out of the cage. But no one could hear her because she was deep inside a forest where no one lived. The trees were thick and tall. The only sounds were birds and wind. Rosemary felt so alone and scared. "Please, someone help me," she whispered to her baby. "I don't want to die here." Meanwhile, Alex was still doing investigation about where Rosemary could be. That morning, Alex received information about Rosemary. But he never knew that it was fake information to distract him and Austin from the company meeting. Alex had prepared to follow Alpha Austin to the meeting when he received the fake information that Rosemary was found in the next pack close to Vinci Pack. Alex told Austin as he was ready to leave for the meeting. The mome
When Rosemary looked up and saw the cage, before she knew it, the cage fell and covered her. She couldn't scream. The metal bars crashed down around her, trapping her inside. That was when Rosemary knew that she had fallen into her enemies' trap."No!" Rosemary cried, grabbing the bars and trying to shake them. But the cage was too strong. It was made of silver, which burned her hands when she touched it.Luna stood up from where she was hiding behind a tree. But now she was not alone. A tall man with dark hair walked out of the shadows. He looked like Austin, but his eyes were cold and mean."Hello, Rosemary," David said with a nasty smile."David," Rosemary said, her voice shaking. "I should have known you were behind this."Luna walked over to David and stood next to him. "You did very well, my son," she said to David.Rosemary's heart stopped. "Your son? But you said you were here to help me!""I lied," Luna said. "I'm not just a seer. I'm also David's mother. And I'm a witch.""W
"I wasn't sure you would come," Luna said."What do you want?" Rosemary asked."To tell you the truth," Luna said. "Austin is not your enemy. Ariana is.""I know that," Rosemary said. "Ariana tried to kill me.""It's worse than that," Luna said. "Ariana is not Austin's mate. She's been using magic to make him think she is.""What?" Rosemary said."Ariana is a witch," Luna said. "Half werewolf, half witch. She's been using her powers to manipulate Austin."Rosemary sat down on the bench. "How do you know this?""Because I'm a seer," Luna said. "I can see things that others can't. And I can see that Austin is your real mate.""That's impossible," Rosemary said. "I'm human.""Are you?" Luna asked. "Did the Moon Goddess visit you?"Rosemary nodded."Then you're not just human," Luna said. "You have werewolf blood in you. That's why you have healing powers.""My parents were human," Rosemary said."Your adopted parents were human," Luna said. "But your real parents were werewolves. Very po
Rosemary's heart was beating fast as she watched the man from far away. She hid behind a tree and waited. The man was tall and had dark hair. He smelled like werewolf but something was different about his smell. The man walked around the building for a few minutes. Then he got into a car and drove away. Rosemary waited for ten more minutes before she came out of her hiding spot. "Maybe he was not looking for me," she said to herself. "Maybe he was just visiting someone else." But Rosemary was still scared. She went up to her room and locked the door. She put her hand on her stomach and felt the baby moving. "We have to be more careful," she said to her baby. "There are werewolves everywhere now." "My husband wants to kill me," Rosemary said. THREE MONTHS LATER Rosemary's belly was getting bigger. She was now five months pregnant. Her job at the restaurant was getting harder because she was always tired. "You need to slow down," Mrs. Chen told her. "You're working too m
