Leonel's POVOn our way to the council's office, I knew something wasn't right. It's my natural instinct and I always follow it. It's always right and it always saves me. I could smell danger away, hiding and waiting for the right moment and I cursed inwardly. I am not worried about myself, no, I am worried about the five men Travis gave to me. Atlan, Ryker, Patrick, Edward and Gunther. The asshat calls them 'elite', but the way they reacted to the sample battle earlier shows otherwise. If I'm not careful enough, and if my instinct is right, they might be in danger. I grunted and sighed. "So much for a hassle-free journey.""Alpha?" Atlan questioned. I shook my head, seeing the Council's mansion a few meters away. Screw the old bunch of Elders for choosing a remote place to build their place. They are safe as they have the highest form of security, but what about the people coming to see them? They can be ambushed on their way here. "I want you all to stay alert when we leave lat

Josef's POVEvery Omega stared at us in horror as I carry the half-dead body of Klaire. This time, I did not take her to their quarters, I went straight to the infirmary with some of the Omegas tailing us. "Doctor!" I shouted as I carefully laid her beaten up body on one of the empty beds there. The Doctor came out from his office and nonchalantly stared at Klaire's body before looking at his watch. "I'll have the nurse clean her up and give her some morphine. I have a class in less than an hour." He told me and nodded his head at the nurse who moved to do what he said. Before he could leave, I blocked his way with my arms spread out. "But she's pretty beaten up badly, doc. Please at least take a look at her." He sighed and stared boredly at me. "Son, she is not a mere human that will die from a beating. Now get out of my way." Being the Delta that he is, he laced his voice with command, but I held it in."K-Klaire is an Omega, doc. And she heals pretty slower than us."Delta Henr

Sofia's POVI was there when it happened. I was hiding, but I heard everything. I heard everything Zella said, I heard every beating, I heard every cry of Klaire and even her asking for help. I was biting my nails, eyes filled with tears and heart filled with guilt, but I knew it's what she deserves for seducing someone else's man. That's what she deserves for acting so innocent when she's nothing but. And I saw how a very much worried Josef carried her out. My heart sank a bit at the sight of her battered and unmoving body. 'That is your fault, Sofia. You did that to her'.I shook my head in denial. "Why would it be? She's the one to blame for seducing men! She will eventually be found out even if I did not say anything to Zella!" I refute my conscience and refuse to let it win. "It's not my fault." I told myself just as I saw Josef's tear-filled face, eyes hardening and filled with hate. It's Klaire's fault. Everytime I see Josef's worried face, it kills me. I died inside as he

Leonel's POVKlaire did not let go of my hand as we were escorted by the two. I can feel and sense them on either side of us and even though my eyes are covered, I can feel their every move and breath. And I am confident that I can sense the change in their aura just in case they will kill us. "Relax and don't get your panties in a twist, oh so mighty Alpha, we will not kill you. I can practically smell your disgusting pheromones. And I think you already know that when you come alone.""Won't hurt to be cautious." I simply told the woman and she chuckled.I felt Klaire's body moving closer to me and a hand touching my shoulder, a sign that she wrapped her arm around her. "So, what did that Alpha promise you to come with him, my friend? Is he the reason behind your fading bruises? Just tell me and I will put a bullet on his head to avenge you or you are welcome to join us."I can practically hear Klaire's heart beating fast and I could tell that she's nervous, but she did not say any

Leonel's POVI did not sleep a wink and remained sitting at the edge of the bed. The room they gave me was decent. Of course I was not expecting a hotel-room like accomodation seeing as they are staying in an abandoned place, and it's not even the reason why I stayed awake until the sun blinded me with its light, no. It's Klaire. I kept my senses alert just in case something happens. Yes, I somehow sympathize with the Outcasts and I saw and heard their stories. And yes, I admire their courage and unity, but that does not mean I will let my guard down especially with Klaire being with me. After all, I'm still an Alpha and we are suspicious of everyone we don't fully trust, sometimes, not even our family.At first I didn't want to agree to stay the night, but when I saw how happy she was to see an old friend, how her face lit up when she saw familiar faces, I knew I had to agree for her. Because I also know that with the uncertainty of the situation, it might be the last chance they wi
