Adelia's PovShe looked at me, her blue eyes watering as her lips quivered."I don't know. He left. He didn't want to hurt me so he left. He felt he would harm me if he remained here with me. But I don't think so. I told him we will get through this together. I know I will be able to calm him anytime he shifts. I'm not afraid of Aiden. I love him." She burst out in tears. I stared at her, my jaw dropped in shock and surprise. What was she saying? Why would Aiden think he would hurt her? Aiden was the sweetest person I have ever known so it just didn't sit right with me that he would hurt a person. Besides, did she just say she loved Aiden? What made her think she had the right?There were so many questions I wanted to ask but the exact opposite left my lips."I don't understand.""Do you know Aiden is an Epsilon?" She wiped her tears and sniffed. She was looking at me like I should know what she was talking about but I had no idea."A what?""An Epsilon. Don't you know what that mea

They had been walking for quite a long time and Aiden kept wondering when they would get to the so-called pack — if there was even a pack. What if all these were just a set-up to lead him somewhere he shouldn't be? If he was being honest with himself, he would admit that he was starting to think coming along with them was a big mistake. The alpha didn't look like she meant any harm but Aiden knew better than to judge from outward appearance. He had seen people do evil things regardless of their comely appearance so he would not be surprised if this alpha turned out to be evil. "Are you tired?" The deep voice of the alpha invaded his thought and he turned to see her looking at him. They had been walking quietly so this was the first she was saying to him since they started this journey. "No." He shook his head, glancing away from her to avoid her intense gaze. The way she stared at him was as though she could see through him and he was bothered that she might see through his lies

The morning light filtered into his room, cascading rays on his face and with a loud groan, he rolled to the side, burying his face into the pillow. He knew it was time to wake up but he was too lazy to. The stress from the previous day was telling on him and all he wanted was to sleep. However, the thought of what the pack members would say struck him and lazily, he pushed himself to a sitting position, scratching his head as his long bangs fell over his face. A sigh escaped his lips as he tried to adjust his eyesight to the brightness of the room. It was a new day in a new pack and he wondered if he was ready to face it. From how Kunata had painted bad in the eyes of the pack members, Aiden would not be surprised if they hated him now. Kunata had made a bad impression of him on the people by accusing him of esteeming himself higher than everyone in the pack. It was crazy how Kunata thought and Aiden was yet to fully comprehend his motive: if he was doing all these to frustrate h

Jared's Pov.We were having a family dinner when Adelia barged in with her alpha mate. This ungrateful thing would never understand what I had done for her by separating her from that cursed entity called Aiden. I knew she was still angry with all of us for matching her with Rio but I still maintain that we had made the right decision. One thing about Adelia was her short-sightedness. She would never admit it but I and the rest of the family knew how shortsighted she could be. Rather than looking into the future, Adelia only saw and acted on the present. This was why she was yet to understand our purpose for sending her with Rio.As much as I didn't like Rio, I could not deny that he was a much better choice. He was the one with a better pack and a better position, unlike some rag-wearing useless wolf-like Aiden. But Adelia would soon come into that light. She would soon understand. I was sure of that. But before then, we would have to endure her antics — I was not sure how much I

It was quite dark when Aiden finally woke up. He had fallen asleep while waiting for the alpha to return and was just waking up now after many hours of being asleep. Well, he could not blame himself for sleeping that long. His body was yet to recover from the journey of the previous day so he needed all the rest he could get. Yawning loudly, he rose to his feet, a chuckle escaping his lips as he thought about how lazy he was becoming. He was sure the whole pack thought him to be lazy and Kunata must be convincing them to send him away. He chuckled again, finding that thought really funny. He could not tell if he was not bothered because of how sweet the alpha was being to him but Aiden knew he was going to remain in this new pack for as long as he wanted — so far Alpha Velvet remained the alpha.Now he had no idea why she was being the way she was to him but just as he had decided before, he would enjoy it while it lasted and would fight her without a second thought if she proved t
