"Awe, get easy on me!" I asked, clearly scared of me and she nodded. "I'll try." I pouted but just sighed as I started to get in a defensive posture. I would be amazed if I got out of here alive. Alpha Ace was smirking proudly behind me. While Arya didn't bother looking at Kai's expression. She let me attack her first and she just dodged all my punches. I know she wasn’t showing me her full power. She might be only mustering 25% of her abilities so that she wouldn't hurt me. I punched and kicked and even faked some attacks on her but she was just going easy with me. I only managed to scrape her knee and I didn't even manage to lay my hand on her. “Damn this was a bad decision. I have to end this soon. This only makes me look bad. It's like comparing a child with someone that has years of experience.’ I swear I could feel her thinking that. I fell on the ground with my butt hitting the cold grass. Damn it. I knew this would happen. But oh well. "So? Is it clear n

“This is not the time to fight. We have enemies ahead,” Arya said, glaring at both of them. Tension is starting to linger now as both alphas look like they will kill each other any minute now. But Ace was still grabbing him by the throat “Your brother asked me to save you. I did so because of our history!” “Calm down. What is happening with you, Ace.” Alpha Kai said, trying to maintain calmness but he is getting irritated each second now. “You’re too dumb. Your brother is planning to kill us all here. He leads the fowlers to come to us.” Ace blurted out, and even Arya covered her mouth in shock. Alpha Kai’s brother? That must be his other twin, right? And he must also be Arya’s other mate! Hearing this news shocked her! She shook her head. “Zef? No, he won’t do that.” “It’s because of your damn competition with your mate, isn’t it? And you dare involve me and my mate in this?” Ace cursed out. Gosh, I hate seeing him like this. I have to do something to make the mood lighter.

It was only a few seconds when Ace pulled me away from Arya as he said, “Okay, that is enough. I’ll be keeping Arya as my prisoner here and waiting for Kai to show up. I’ll be punishing them.” As soon as Alpha Ace announced that, I looked at her with pity, “What? Ace! No!” Just then, Alpha Ace went to Arya, not listening to my pleas, and grabbed her hand, securing it so she wouldn’t be able to escape. Arya struggled, and I was also pushing him away and trying to force myself between them when suddenly, an arrow went into Ace’s shoulders, letting blood all over it. I gasped, silence fell for a second before I could feel everything going in slow motion. I thought they had already finished all of the fowlers, our enemies? And how could Ace not dodge that? But judging by a man standing there with his bow and arrow, splattering it around us was making me sick. Ace growled, howling at the man as he tried to attack the man. His hands managed to put claw marks on the fowler but the

A few hours passed after knowing that I am captured by my own clan and also in the same cage with Alpha Kai. Never in my life was I imprisoned like some kind of animal. Even Alpha Ace himself treated me with so much kindness and respect even when he kind of hated me the first time we met. But most of all, I did not expect that it would be my kind that would betray me like this. Bound in chains, with nothing to drink and nothing to eat. The whole cage was dirty filled with animal dung and pee as if a pig was kept here before us. And since I have somehow shared my mate’s sensitive senses, the mere smell of the animal dung was enough to put me to sleep. I wanted to wallow in self-pity but what I am experiencing is not near to what Alpha Kais is experiencing. He has been silent with some occasional grunts and growls. He’s the one being affected here the most. I am just glad that we are in the same cage and that we would be able to talk. Also, I am happy that they did not put poison

ARYA’S POV We didn’t waste a second and Gusev turned into a bat as he flew off to inform Alpha Magnus first. When he returned a few minutes later, he was in the hands of a tall dark, and handsome man. He stood around Kai’s height, which is about 6’3. He had emerald green eyes and hazel hair and he looked at us worriedly. But I looked at his hard-toned body down to his six-pack abs. I am not gonna lie, he is hot. I bit my lip, knowing I just checked this man out. The bat on his hand, Gusev, was trying to get out but his hold was tight. “Ah, I wonder what kind of bat flew off in our direction….” He mumbled, then let Gusev go as he transformed back into his human form. “Ah, what a surprise Gusev.” The man said sarcastically, acting as if he did not just grip him tight earlier. Gusev was fuming mad as he crossed his arms in front of him, “You always do this!” The handsome man just ignored his outburst, “You brought company with you. Is that Ace?” Gusev motioned for us, ”Yes, T
