*** Nora’s POV*** I pressed and took the elevator to my office floor. When I arrived at the door, I smelled the mysterious scent coming out of my office. I threw my office door open and I was greeted by a strong pine and mushroom scent, the same one in my office this morning. Is the intruder still here? I strode in and scanned around to find the office empty. However, the same black card with a red ribbon was lying on my desk. My brows fused together into a frown as I picked up the black card from my desk. *** Hello, Alpha. It appears that you didn’t take heed to my warning. I warned you, didn't I? You've now awoken the beast in me. I am coming for you and everyone you care about. Keep your eyes open and your ears pricked. And ooh ....watch your back. Because I'd do something worse than kill you. I will give you more pain than you can imagine. I hope you enjoyed the shopping *** My blood bubbled with anger on seeing the attached pictur

*** Mason’s POV*** "Babe, do you really have to leave?" Mark asked, whining. "Yes, Love, we talked about this." I stated in frustration. "This is something I must do in order for our plan to succeed. Don’t you want a future with me? " I queried. "I do, but I will miss you. I will miss your presence, "he whispered, gazing down. I signed and raised his chin with my index finger. "I'll come get you soon. You know, my family won't allow us to be together. So hang in there when I straighten things out with Nora and marry her. I request that you join the pack so that we can be closed until our plan is completed. Give me two months. " I lied between my teeth, knowing that this was the only way out of this. Mark sighed and nodded." I will wait as you suggested. Don’t you even think of falling in love with the Lady Alpha, "he warned. "Never, "I replied, and I kissed his lips softly. "I need to leave now. Alpha Benedict must be waiting for me," I added as I slid

***Leo’s POV*** It’s been two hours since the guys and I went hunting. After training, we shifted and dashed into the forest hunting down rabbits. I’ve been irritated the whole day. Ryker and I were beyond angry. I was trying hard not to show it because I didn't want to look like a jealous mate. I couldn’t stand seeing the face of Mason wherever I go in the pack house. It was as if he was stalking me. And every time his smirk grew wider. I didn’t want to do anything crazy, so the guys insisted we go hunting. We got a few rabbits, built a fire in the woods, and began grilling the rabbits. " Damn man!! you’re almost good at everything you do?" Dave spoke as he turned the rabbit on the fire. I chuckled "Was that a compliment?" "Yepp" "Then you’re bad at it" I teased, as he laughed. "Seriously dude, you’re getting faster and stronger every day. How do you do it" Josh questioned. I blow air on the fire in an attempt to get the fire to lighten up m

*** LEO’S POV*** I threw on grey sweatpants and a white vest while humming the melody of a song. I gin as I recall the conversation I had with my mate last night. I felt so relieved after coming clean with her. My heart felt lighter, as if the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. She also accepted me for who I am, which put my heart and mind at ease. Everything was much better between us. I was beaming from ear to ear and couldn’t help but feel giddy inside. I never thought this would happen to me. That I will get to this point in my life. It felt amazing to have a caring and understanding woman by my side. Nora is my safe haven, my refuge, and the source of warmth that my soul yearns for. I picked up my phone from the bedside locker and dialed her number. "Where are you, little mate?" I asked in a husky voice when the call pushed through. She giggles. "Aww... someone is missing my presence already," she teased, putting a smile on my face. From her

*** Mason’s POV*** I slammed my car door shut and drove away. Through the review mirror, I watched the warriors of the Blackwood pack run in their wolf form behind my car until I crossed their border.. I can't believe Nora and her lover humiliated me in front of the whole pack. I was reduced by blackwood pack to nothing. I won't let it go. I won't forgive any of them. I growled, trying to keep my rage in check. What the fuck am I going to do now? I hit my head on the steering wheel. I was enraged. I was angry at myself for not being smart enough as I should have been. I was angry at Nora and her stupid omega for treating me like sandpaper. "Damnit!! You ruined everything. How are you going to fix this, huh?" my wolf snorted, pushing forward in my head. "You mean, how are we going to fix this?" I gritted my teeth. "Didn’t I tell you to wait? All you had to do was to attack at the right time. But you blew our only chance of getting rid of the omega. You ruin us with y
