Since the Alpha had already ordered and everyone waited, Kai, suppressed his thoughts and turned to choose a young wolf. If what Mateo had hinted at was true then there was no female fighter who was good enough to train with her. In werewolves, there were rarely any female warriors for they could prove a distraction for their mates. Of course, in today's time, one might say that the opposite was true and female warriors could also be distracted due to their male counterparts but no one was interested in changing things. Alpha Ace had made an order that all males and females had to be trained so a few of the she-wolves had half-heartedly started training while others had found ways to get out of the compulsion for the time being. While Kai was lost in deliberation, the warriors were abuzz with gossip and conversation through their mind link. Knowing what Kai was thinking, Beta Mateo opened the mind link and spoke to Kai," Send Nate." Kai scowled and turned to look at the Beta. Nate

Ace had made a wild guess in the dark but when he felt her stiffen and her heartbeat accelerate, he knew he made the correct guess. An angry haze seemed to cover his eyes and he had to suppress the urge to kill the person who had done this to her.He knew that she had suffered at the hands of those who had kidnapped her but they had actually given her wolfsbane? At first, he had been glad that she had been strong enough to kill the rogues but now he wanted to resurrect each of them and beat them to a pulp. Holding her face, he looked deep into her eyes. Were those nightmares that he knew she had a result of the wolfsbane?Wolfsbane was slow torture to any wolf as it slowly cut the two connected souls of human and wolf into two parts a little at a time. And she had been given enough wolfsbane that she could not change anymore. A fire ignited inside him as he felt her warm lips against his. At least she had survived. The moon Goddess had brought her to him and even if her wolf could not

Crystal turned away from Ace and hugged herself, worried if she was making a mistake in trusting him with her secret. She had observed him all the time they had been together and knew that she could be wrong about him. He was a man who had killed his own father and she had not yet discovered why. But she knew that this was the only course forward. It was better to trust the devil you know. However, before that, she would have to put forward some conditions of her own. At least that way, she could fool herself that she had some semblance of control. Sighing, she turned back to him and the pity in his eyes almost broke her before she hardened her heart and spoke," You can rest assured that I will not endanger your pack in any way. If anything, I'd rather die than harm the innocent."Ace scowled at this but he was not going to give up until he knew the truth about the monsters who had poisoned a little girl. He knew she was not happy about confiding in him and he wanted to tell her that

"All in its time, Ace. I'll tell you everything in time. But not right now. I have said all I wanted to say.""And what about what I want to say?" Ace asked silkily. Ace had always been used to taking split-second decisions and even though he had been shaken by the recent revelation, he had already planned his further course of action."If this is regarding anything other than what we earlier agreed upon, then no. I am not willing to discuss this with you.""Neither am I."This caused Crystal to look up at Ace in confusion. Just now he had been furious that she had been unwilling to have him as her mate. And now he was being so blase about it? What was happening?'Ha. Dreamy is an alpha Crissy. Do you think he is going to wait around for you to accept him?' Erin whispered in her mind. And even though it was said casually by her wolf, she could feel her wolf's slight twinge of pain that mirrored hers.'Hey. You are the one who is thinking too much and rejecting our mate. So why are you
