*** Nora’s POV*** " All romantic lovers show by hand, "Elyssa asked, flipping through tons of movies after we joined the guys in the movie room. The boys groan in irritation on hearing the word romantic. "I'm in," Lilly exclaimed and enthusiastically, raised her hand. "Nora, what are you waiting for?" Lilly uttered with her hand still up in the air. "Don’t tell me you want horror." Elyssa widened her eyes as she stopped what she was doing. I chuckled. "What do you want us to watch, babe?" I asked, turning to my mate. "Why are you asking your man? Where is your loyalty? " Lilly questioned in a grumpy tone, shifting her eyes between Leo and me. Leo and I laughed. "My loyalty is with my mate." I giggled " I want him to enjoy the movie. What do you want to see? " I asked, trailing my nose against his neck. He thought for a while... "Comedy?" Leo said, in the form of a question. Lily and Elyssa pouted while Dave and Josh groaned, making my mate and I giggle.

***Josh's POV*** "Hello, welcome to the Blackwood pack." I welcomed Mason's mate, Mark, after I waited for him for over forty minutes. "Hello," he said, averting his gaze. He looks awkward and nervous, as if he has been invited into a lion’s den. Mark appears to be innocent. I wonder why the moon goddess was so cruel and paired him with a selfish bastard like Mason. He was a short, frail looking man whose aura was giving off innocence. His skin was pale with freckles on his cheeks. His eyes were emerald green and he was about 5’2. From his scent, I could tell straight away that he was an omega. "Shall we? " "Yes, please.. lead the way," he says with a nod. I led him into the room adjoining the conference room on the first floor. Just like the Alpha suggested. "Please have a seat, the meeting will start shortly", I informed him. I quickly muttered through the mind link "Alpha, it’s done," "Good job. Keep him occupied until the meeting starts. " She praised him and closed the li

*** Nora’s POV*** "How can you do this to the family?" Alpha Elias roars, gripping Mason’s collar... "You didn’t just lie to the Blackwood's, Mason. You lied to your mother and I. I’m so disappointed in you. Why did you do this to us? How can you do this to the family? " His father inquired. His eyes were burning with rage. "Be... because the plan was to reject him when I got married to Nora," Mason whispered, looking down as if it was his new favorite thing to do. He winces a little from the pain of the rejection. His father smacked his face so hard that it sent him down the floor. Leaving a handprint on his cheeks, Mason sat on the floor, growling lowly. "I’m ashamed to call you my son. I believe I have over-pampered and tolerated you for too long. I should have listened to your brother when he said you were obsessed with the Blackwood pack. However, I allowed you to cloud my judgment. But not anymore. You are now on your own from today" he yelled. "I d

***Nora’s POV*** My eyes opened widely and my pupils twitched in fear. My gaze stayed on only one person and that was my mate. My blood was cold as a block of ice and I was sweating profusely as if I had been drenched in water. The entire training ground was silent and everyone held his or her breath staring at my mate. A minute later... The pack members cheered when they saw Mason's lifeless body on the ground. They all seem to have woken up from their stupor except for me. They had a proud smile on their faces as they discussed how their Luna killed Mason with one swift movement. I sighed in relief on seeing the dead body of Mason on the floor. But everything was blurred after that. I stood frozen in the middle of the training arena. My breathing was irregular and my heart was beating against my chest with so much force. My eyes never left my mate as he stepped out of the fighting ring. He limps towards me with a grin on his bloody face. I did

***NORA’S POV*** I was going through the pack's financial expenditure for the last two months. When Dave’s painful howl tore into the air as he called for help, I could identify him and all the pack members from their howls to their growls, since I am bonded to them as an Alpha. Leo! His name popped into my head. I jumped up from my seat, remembering that Dave had linked me a while ago that he was going to the pack border for rounds with Leo. I ran to my glass window and jumped down, landing safely on the ground. "Did you hear that?" Elyssa came running out of the pack house. "That was definitely, Dave. I can recognize his voice anywhere, "Josh added. "Where is he? We have to get to him now," Lilly added as she joined us outside with her mate, Vincent. "Nora, Ryker said, Dave is badly hurt and they are in the middle of the forest on the north side of the pack land. You need to go now before things get out of hand, "Nelly roared through our link.
