Hugo sighed for the umpteenth time.He had been dealing with depression since he cheated on Briella.Finding out that they were mates didn't help matters either, because he began to feel a dull ache in his chest whenever he stressed too much.Wanting to man up and claim his mate, he decided to visit Briella in her home."Let's do this."He encouraged himself.Being human does no justice to the pain he was feeling, he knew the pain would be doubled for Briella because she was a werewolf. He never wanted to see her in pain.As he drove through the winding roads leading to Briella's home, he tried to calm his nerves. He knew he had a lot of explaining to do, a lot of apologizing to do. He just hoped she would be willing to forgive him.Finally, he saw her home in the distance, nestled in the woods.It was a beautiful log cabin with a large wrap-around porch.As he pulled into the driveway, his heart raced with anticipation.He took a deep breath and slowly made his way up to her front

"She's a rogue!" Mila exclaimed, putting her hand on her mouth.Her eyes widened."Yes, She is."Alpha Bianca looked smug, knowing that piece of information about Jessica."But, she's been among us all this while, does that mean she has been feeding information to the rogue prince since the beginning?" Mila inquired, still not over the fact of the matter."To top it off, Mila, Jessica is the rogue prince's sister and she has been deceitful towards Zane for a long time." Bianca replied, stating more facts."Unbelievable, if she gets a hold of a Moonshine pack, it wouldn't be long before they get to us too then."Mila's hand trembled, thinking of the possibility of having the rogue capture them as slaves, or worse, kill them.Alpha Bianca placed a reassuring hand on Mila's shoulder, attempting to calm her down."We won't let that happen.""We have to come up with a plan to stop the rogue and protect our pack. We can't let them win." She said with determination in her voice.Mila nodd

Brittany looked left and right as she walked into the moonshine mansion. She was ready to execute her plan of kidnapping Yvonne for Jude.All she needed to do was get her to Jude's hideout so the rogue prince, Jude could easily kill her.As Brittany made her way through the dimly lit hallways of the mansion, She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that clung to her like a second skin.She knew the dangers that came with working for Jude, but the promise of wealth and power was too tempting to resist.As she turned a corner, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching.Her hand instinctively reached for the dagger she had concealed in her boot.But as the figure came into view, she relaxed. It was just one of the mansion's guards.The guard nodded curtly at her as he passed by, but Brittany could sense the suspicion in his eyes.She knew that it wouldn't be long before someone caught on to her plan.Finally, she reached Yvonne's quarters.The door was unlocked, and she quietly s

“There's nothing harmful about it, Jessica. You're safe with me and good too. You should know that I can't and won't let any harm whatsoever come your way.”He tried to explain.Jessica's eyes became teary and tears threatened to roll down endlessly as she fought against the urge to close her eyelids.She stared blankly into thin air and also at the man in front of her, fighting the will to say “Yes” to a total stranger.Somebody who she barely knows and cannot trust or give faith in people's words just like that as everyone has proved themselves not to be trusted and cannot really be dependent on.She shied her face away from him and gradually stood up, her whole mind and brain were shut down as she brought both hands to the sides of her head, tugging tightly at them. She didn't understand why her inner wolf was feeling this much pity for a person she had perceived to be a total stranger, as she had always seen it. It felt like they had a connection sometime before like they had me

Zane climbed on the other side of the bed and sat closer to Jessica.He was tired, but he couldn't even get any sleep. He kept watching and observing her. Waiting for the slightest movement she was going to make, for her to open her eyes soon.But none happened, she just lay there like a piece of wood, immovable.Sleep was very far from him. How could he sleep when she had been unconscious the whole time?Zane glanced at the small clock beside the bed and saw that it was a few minutes past 4 in the morning.It was already late, and he wasn't even sleepy at all. His mind strayed toward his recent predicament.And then he remembered that he didn't even bother to tell Ivan about the letter or the council.And then his Mum, she's going to try to call for him today as he didn't give her an answer and just barged out.How does he leave Jessica in this situation and answer her and the council? He thought of mind-linking Ivan, but on second thought, he knew that his advisor was one of the
