"Who the hell are you?" Diego asked with authority while coming in front of me and blocking me completely. "Why the hell does she have the same face as mine?" the wolf asked. I didn't know who he was, but that was the same question I wanted to ask him. "You should answer that, don't you think?" I got up and stood side by side with Diego. Yes, I wanted to ask him questions, but I knew that I actually needed Diego's protection right now. So, I didn't go any further towards that unknown wolf with the same face as mine. "What the hell are you planning, Diego? Is it your doing?" I asked him suspiciously. "And exactly how do you think I will be able to do this?" he asked me, and I scrunched my eyebrows. "Who is he then?" I asked him again. "He is the to-be-alpha of the Ironclad pack. But what are you doing here?" he asked the wolf, and I couldn't help but still feel eerily disturbed because of my male look-alike. "Your warriors were alarmed by a captive that ran away. Dad sent me to he

With every step he took towards me, I tightened my grip on the knife and fixed my eyes on the spot where his heart should be. But Diego thought it best to spoil my plan by coming in between us, grabbing the alpha by his throat, and throwing him towards the couch. The couch broke in the middle, and the alpha changed into his wolf form, losing control. That was a double loss; not only did I lose the chance to hurt or kill him, but I also lost a good couch to sleep on. "Take another step towards her, and I will make sure you regret every breath you take," Diego's authoritative voice made my knees buckle, and I sat on the stairs I was standing on. The other males were also on their knees. Though Xavier's wolf tried its best to stand up, he could not. "Arya, go to your room right now," Diego said again in the same voice. I tried to get up, but my legs didn't seem to work. "I said, go to your room," he shouted, and I felt helpless. "I am trying, but I can't feel my legs," I said in despera

"Arya, stop!" I shouted behind her, but she sped off in another direction. "When will she start listening to me?" I mumbled in irritation. Noah was still sitting with Nora's body while Amelia looked visibly angry, and Xavier appeared relieved."So, are you taking the body with you to your pack, or do we have to dispose of it?" Xavier asked, and I fought the intense urge to snap at him and put him in his place."At least respect the dead, Dad," Noah's voice remained steady."This is not the time to be emotional, Noah. Do you even understand what will happen if people find out about her? And her face! Nora and you have almost the same face, and don't forget that disrespectful twin of yours. Whoever sees you three together will easily realize that you are related," Xavier said in desperation."She is not the one with the same face as mine. Arya and I are the ones who have her face. She gave birth to us," Noah corrected in his still calm voice."We are not revealing this to anyone. That's

"Seems like you got the chance to prove the facts that you were stating before," Arya said, taking a few steps backward and casually sitting on the side. "Let's see what you've got," she added, and I couldn't help but feel amused by her reaction. She didn't seem the least bit hesitant or nervous in this situation. "Anything specific you want, mah lady?" I teased her, glancing at the vampires, who seemed unhappy with our casual conversation. "No need to be that cocky. Do what is needed, and don't spill too much blood here. I plan to lie down here until sunrise," she said; though it was dark, I could still see that my "mah lady" had affected her. The vampires must have thought they had enough of our conversation because they didn't let me reply to Arya. All five of them launched themselves at me simultaneously. I grabbed the throats of the first two vampires that came towards me, but the other three took the opportunity. One of them punched me, another kicked my leg, causing me to fal

"You can't barge into a girl's room like that," I snapped at him as soon as he entered the room, while I am still scared of his reaction when he sees Diego. He didn't say anything but narrowed his eyes. "Don't act too shocked, alright?" I finally gave up and decided to apply the 'make him understand' technique. "Who is he?" he asked me, and I gulped. Why am I worrying about this situation? It's not like it's my duty to keep his secret... argh... "Diego..... but you're not telling anyone," I said to him pointedly, and he frowned. "You're sleeping with your captive," he stated, and instantly I was confused. I looked behind and turned towards my bed where I found Diego lying on the bed, but the duvet was covering his whole body. The last time someone thought that I was sleeping with a guy didn't end up great. "Do I need to give you any clarification?" I asked him while coming in front of him so that his focus would be on me and not on Diego. This lycan is also stupid; he should have
