Chapter Eighty Kade "Alpha, as a result of the increase in the pack, we need to expand in terms of space. We need a vast amount of land to accommodate members of the pack, especially the newly mated wolves..." Staring into space as Silvius's words vanished in the wind before they could get to me, I couldn't help but get lost in my own world. My world of fantasy. I burrowed deeper into the chair, relaxing my tired bones and feeding my eyes with nothing in particular. It was strange how I developed the habit of zoning out recently. It was funny how concentration was almost impossible...especially around her. This was unlike me. What was happening to me?! Not even Silvius nor Amelia got my undivided attention. What was she doing to me? Who does she think she was? "Alpha?! Alpha?!" Silvius' voice brought me out of my long train of thought Adjusting quickly to avoid his suspicion, I turned my gaze to him, clearing my throat before giving him a slight nod to continue.

Esmeralda As the days went by, my stay in the Blood Moon Pack was heaven on earth. I never imagined my life could be this easy. My stay in the Crescent Moon Pack brought nothing but pain and agony to me. Every day, I couldn't wait to escape from the prison I was confined in. After years of being separated from my mum, this was the first time that life became fair to me. It was the first time that life made sense being a wolf. I had all I ever wanted. And all I had cried for was at the reach of my hands. A loving and hospitable pack, accommodating pack members and the sweetest mate. What more could I ask for? Even if he hasn't introduced me as his Luna to the pack, it didn't matter. At least his Beta knew who I was and he wasn't ashamed to hang around me, an Omega. My life made sense now, even if I hadn't experienced what most wolves experienced, My first shift and a wolf's abilities. But I won't let that get to me, at least, I had what most wolves never had. The Alph

Phoebe Halting in my tracks to avoid being heard by an incoming passerby, I ducked under a tree, hiding in the darkness and pinning my gaze on him as he walked along the lonely road. It didn't take long before he was out of sight, long gone into the darkness before I came out of my hiding spot. Phew! That was close. Night had fallen already and I was heading home after a long day in the woods. I was heading home without Esmeralda. After our little tete-a-tet and my successful mission in making her sniff the lovely wolfsbane, I deliberately stayed behind, watching her scream and wriggle in great pain, hoping it would end her life. But my hopes were smashed against a hard rock of pain and disappointment when her weak voice drew help from different angles and the little bitch was rescued. I hope the wolfsbane eats her skin up so badly that she wouldn't survive. For hours, her name was on everyone's lips about how she was badly injured. It was almost the talk of the town.

Esmeralda Struck with fear, I took to my heels, missing my step in the dark room and falling to the ground. But that didn't stop me from standing on my feet almost immediately and seeking refuge. I panted hard, placing my hand on my chest to steady my breathing, but it failed. Was she referring to me? Of course, who else was with her? But It was difficult to tell who she was talking to as her face was pinned to the floor. Not in my direction. I wasn't sure if she saw me because the chair she sat on backed me. Only one question rang in my mind. Who was she referring to? "You, little..." She began talking again, but stopped, hissing loud in irritation. Woah! So she could talk! "What do...you...want?" She stammered, struggling to catch her breath. I was here to save you, silly! Unable to do anything as fear clouded my mind, I took a few steps backwards till my back touched the cold wall. I didn't want her to see me. Despite her face tilting away from me, I could

Kade I stood erect behind the door, masking my scent to avoid being sniffed out. Rumours had been flying around lately. Rumours of how my sister, Amelia was improving. Of course, I had laughed it off at first. How was it possible for Amelia to improve in less than a week, especially without a professional caregiver by her side? I didn't let it get to me, It was just side talks to make me happy. To make me feel Esmeralda could heal Amelia. Even when it was glaring that she couldn't. No one could. Amelia had been damaged beyond control. She cannot be redeemed. Even the best doctor in the human world confirmed that. But it was a shame that Esmeralda thinks that some mere talk and songs could do the magic by making Amelia herself again. What a joke! I almost laughed at her to scorn her stupid act of bravery the evening I saw her sneak into the North wing. But on second thought, I didn't. I quietly left her to do her thing with Amelia. I intentionally left the wing
