"Elder Dennis suggests that Zella should visit and stay here for a couple of days. For you to get to know each other. Because you walked out on them." I let out one last blow to the sandbag, flexing my sore knuckles from all the punches I have thrown since this morning. I wanted to get my mind off things. And by things, I meant a certain Omega that I don't even know the name of. I removed my gloves and blew out a breath before wiping my face clean of my sweat. I admit I walked out and used what happened as an excuse to leave. I felt guilty somehow because they probably punished the poor Omega, but I just couldn't stay in the same place as her. Knew that she was just within reach, but I couldn't get close enough. And that look on her face.. haunted me since yesterday. Why did she look... so uninterested? So unbothered? 'You refuse to acknowledge the fact that she's our mate. Why are you so bothered now?' My wolf taunted me, and I can imagine the smirk he had. "I don't know. Maybe

Our drive to Mountain Peak was pleasant, but our drive back to our pack wasn't, as Zella kept on ranting and even kicking the chair I was sitting in. I am not bothered and affected, however, because we are not going back with my hands empty. Just like that, two days passed, and we were on our way back from her visit to Mountain Peak. Zella was not satisfied with how Alpha Leonel treated her, maybe because she expected to be treated like a Luna already and perhaps even being intimate with her pair-to-be. The thought of them being intimate with each other doesn't sit well with me, and I can feel my stomach churning, but maybe because I knew she had already found her mate and she was throwing herself at Alpha Leonel. I don't have a mate, and I don't think I'll ever want one, but don't mates love only each other and don't want to ever part? But she's about to cheat on her mate like they weren't embracing and kissing each other a few days ago. "Was it fun being treated like a normal per

Zella's POVI am born to be different. I am meant to rule. And nothing or no once can ever change what's meant to happen. I know my destiny, and it's to be the strongest pack's Luna and be the most beautiful one at that. Ever since I learned how to crawl and walk, I was given everything I wanted with just a point of my finger. My parents, grandparents and my relatives all dotted on me and treated me like a princess. I am the Queen of the campus and every guy wants me. And Leonel isn't an exemption. He will be paired with me and I'll make sure of that. I have everything I want to. I can get anything with just a snap of my finger. And I can make anyone's life a living hell. The four corners of the burnt storage room is filled with my moans and my partner's grunt. What remains of what once a place full of our food ration now witnesses my affair with my Omega mate. And the walls hear the sound of our bodies connecting with each other. We are burning. Lost in the passion of our 'love'.

Leonel's POVOnly two days left, and I needed to go back to my pack. The first day here, I was already eager to go back, but as days passed by, as the secret meeting I had with Klaire passed by, I found myself wanting to spend more time with her. And not only for almost half an hour in fear that someone might catch us. At one time, Alaska even fed my mind with the thought of taking Claire back to my pack, but that is just ridiculous. Yes, even with these confusing feelings, I will still not accept her as my mate. And as if fate itself is siding with me, something unexpected happens that will need me to stay with Northridge pack a bit longer. When I woke up this morning, Janus greeted me with a serious face, and I dare say fear in his eyes. He directed me to Travis' office, and the older Alpha's state isn't any better. I think he ages in just a night. My eyes instantly found the scattered letters on top of his mahogany table as I sat beside him. "We received an anonymous threat to

Klaire's POVAs far as we were informed, both of the Alphas were set to leave today to have a meeting with the council. Most of my fellow lower-ranks have no idea why, and it actually made me feel guilty that I know why, but I can't tell them the exact reason. First of all, because Leonel was the one who told me. Telling everyone about it will put us in a bad situation. Secondly, I don't want everyone to panic as I don't know the exact details. I had to bite my tongue and avoided eye contact with everyone, including my friends. Not that they will even talk to me. They are both avoiding me and will walk away whenever I approach them. It hurts to see them treat me like that, but I can endure it. As long as they will be fine.When we arrived at the mansion however, I heard from the others that only Alpha Leonel left and both the Alpha and Beta stayed. I'm certain it is regarding the fact that our pack is currently receiving threats, so they didn't want to leave. Worry bloom in my chest
