Aiden.I had to call an emergency alpha meeting because of what happened earlier.I can't risk it occurring again. My mate is still unconscious and we won't be lucky again if they appeared right now.Not only that, but I also feel bad for putting her in danger like that.She could have gotten hurt and I don't know if I can bare that kind of guilt.I am the one supposed to be protecting her, not the other way round, and It will not be okay if the whole pack depended on her that much.I feel terrible for leaving her alone in her current state, I trust my sister though, and I don't think anything will happen to her in my room.I am sure this meeting will be over before she even wakes up. She was so exhausted.Around me, are eight Alphas from the packs surrounding mine. Both of us are victims of the King's barbarity and I'm happy we all have one goal.To bring the fucker down."I am sick of the old man Aiden, he sent me a letter yesterday, I either join him or he wipes away my pack" Alp

I lower my head and silently cry.When I get out of here, am going back to my house and pretend this was just a bad dream.I will soak my body for days with every detergent that exists.Fuck, I will start going to church and do everything I promised God I will do.I will complete high school, and elope to a place where no one will ever find me.This world is not for me, I don't think I will survive if I stay.I look at the watchdog standing beside me and speculate if I can try luring him.I know he must be loyal to his Master, but a girl can still try, right?"Hey" my throat is so fucking parched but I can't risk asking for water here, it's probably contaminated with all these germs.The man looks down at me and his face is as hard as stone. Doesn't he have a mate? How will he feel If it was his mate in my position?"What?" he snaps glaring at me.He is bald and wearing what am assuming is a guard's uniform. Boring green khaki trousers and a matching shirt.He has a pistol I hadn't no

Mel." Mum?" he whispers shakily getting on his feet.The woman looks at him without any emotion and starts laughing."Oh, I see you joined your family" she chuckles looking at us and her eyes linger on my mum a little longer.I understand we don't relate to her, but Ty is her own son for heaven's sake.Why would she be this heartless to her own blood?"Why?" he whispers in a broken voice."Why? Oh please, don't act like you care about me Tyler, you are always around your dad and your so-called sister" she says looking at me in disgust.Well, Whatever."I should have known" he mumbles looking on the floor in defeat and my heart breaks for him.It's so sad having a bitch for a mother.To think dad hid everything from him. I think he should start telling us everything, maybe we wouldn't be in this situation."Ty" I mumble gesturing for him with my hand to come back and he obliges, he sits next to me hiding his face in his palms sniffling.Poor boy.I bring his head onto my lap and slowl

Mel.I can't help the feeling that something is gonna go wrong."Babe" I stop to look at my mate."Promise me something" I drop his hand and hold his neck."What?" Aiden looks at me sceptically like he knows what am about to ask."In case of anything, make sure, mum, dad and Ty get out of here, you too, stay safe at all costs" I gently rub my thumbs on his neck."Can you just stop saying that?" he untangles his body from mine and starts walking away."It's inevitable Aiden, I was chosen to end this, and it's not guaranteed I will come out alive" I yell at his back and hastily follow him.The truth is, am scared. Being powerful doesn't give me confidence, I am inexperienced and my opponent is fucking king.He got me once and am sure as hell that when he gets the chance again, am done for.'Stop that Mel' Athena warns in my head.'Where were you when I needed you?' I retort harshly.'I am here, aren't I? Trust me, today you will need me' Aiden hurriedly opens the door of the cells and

Aiden.I love this.I love the feeling that she's here to stay. That I will have her to myself without some psycho interfering or threatening us.I love she chose to come back to me. And I love her mark on me.When I look at this girl, I feel like crying and smiling at the same time. I marvel at how much she changed everything in my life and whenever I imagine losing her, am not myself again.I wonder what would have happened if she didn't come into my life.I will always choose her over anything and anyone else. I don't know what the future holds but as long as she's in my arms like this, am willing to go through hell just to be with her. I love her so much I can't explain it. I can't explain how my heart pounds in my chest every time I look at her, even though it isn't the first or the second time.It always feels like the first time I saw her.When she was taken, I tried to stay strong but I just couldn't. I trained so hard but the pain wouldn't go away. I broke everything in this
