Adelia's Pov I didn't want him holding me but I was too weak to push him away. I was exhausted, tired of all that was happening in my life. "I'll miss you." He smiled into my face, reaching out to wipe my tears but I turned my face to the side. "Are you still angry at me?" "I hope you will let Aiden be, now that I've done all that you guys asked me to," I said and he frowned, his eyes twitching a bit. "Fine. But stop thinking of that dumbass. He isn't worth it. You have someone better now. Think about him." My brother pointed to Rio who was smiling brightly with his beta and some other gammas from his pack. They had come to take me away to their pack like the prisoner I was. "You won't tell me what to do," I spoke calmly but strongly. Jared groaned at that but he said nothing. "I've kept my own side of the promise. You guys should make sure to keep yours. I'm going with Rio now. It is your duty, Jared, to ensure that Aiden is safe." "Aw, come on, Addy. Of course, we will ke

"I'm sorry." He said finally but he still did not look sorry at all. Instead, he looked angry and his apology felt like an insult instead. My anger was beginning to get the better of me but I had to refrain from doing anything. Aiden was acting differently which was strange so it was only wise I didn't push things further. I would show him who the boss was when we got to the packhouse. "Follow me!" I turned around to leave. I could not wait to melt out some punishment on this prick but that would be after my father had handed him over to me. I could not wait to teach him a lesson. I was going to make him suffer, I was going to make him beg and plead, I was going to make him crawl and wish for death. But no, I would not give it to him yet, I would make sure he dies a slow and painful death. I would make sure to knock that silly smile off his face. But to my surprise, Aiden didn't follow me as I ordered, instead, he asked me a stupid question. "Where to?" "You don't get to ask m

They were all standing at the lake, the only place in the pack they considered their solace. But even at the lake, their hearts were unsettled, various conflicting thoughts winding in and out of their minds. It was disheartening and neither of them knew what to do. "I can't believe this." Andrew broke the silence that had dwelt in their midst for a while now. "This is unbelievable. How could this happen?" He turned to look at his friends like they knew the answer to the question he was asking. But his friends stared back at him, confusion and pain in their eyes. It was obvious they were just as shocked as he was. They had been returning from their regular training when they saw it: various posters carrying the face of Aiden, and when they had gone closer to have a clearer look, they found out their friend had been declared a rogue and was to be killed for protection of the pack. According to what was written, Aiden had exhibited rebellious acts towards the alpha and his family and

Aiden's mother was sitting by the window, staring bleakly into space. It has been a whole day since Aiden had been taken away and each minute without him had been torturous for her, especially when she knew he was going to die soon. Aiden's mother, Caroline found herself wondering what her son had done to deserve so many misfortune in life. Where had she gone wrong or what had she done to the moon goddess to deserve this pain? She could still remember how shocked she had been when she had watched her son's humiliating experience during the shapeshifting ceremony. Like every other mother whose child had clocked eighteen, Caroline had gone to support her son. She had dressed her best and had joined her fellow mothers in cheering for her son. She could still remember how she had engaged in an argument with one of the mothers about what wolf her son would shift into. She had prayed so much that he would not be an omega like her but would be just like his father, Zeke. Zeke had been a

Aiden's Pov He was dressed neatly in a pair of black woollen pants, black leather boots and a button-down shirt. His copper hair was pulled to the back, displaying all of his foreheads and his grey eyes were twinkling with derision. The sight of Jared made me even more aware of my helpless situation and my eyes dropped to the dirty floor as embarrassment enveloped me. While Jared looked so neat, here I was, as dirty as a pig. I was dressed in nothing but the shorts I had been dragged with to the packhouse. My hair was a sweaty mass of silky mess and the strands stuck onto my skin in an ugly fashion. My body was filled with dirt and I could smell some stench — I desperately hoped it wasn't from me. "Well. Well. Well." He accentuated every word he said with a clap. "Look who we've got here. The mighty Aiden!" Then he chuckled, his set of sparkingly white teeth on display as he laughed. I wish I could say he had really bad dentition but he didn't. His teeth were really beautiful t
