Lilac stood in Devon’s house garden, with no blank expression on her face. She was deep in thought about what she heard earlier. She had no idea why ‘Ash’ would try to harm Alice.“Is something the matter” A female voice brought Lilac out of her reverie. She turned around to see who it was. And found Doris, Lucas’ mate, standing two feet away from her.“Doris!, I’ve missed you” A slight smile spread across Lilac’s face as she walked forward and gave Doris a warm hug. “Are you sure?” Doris asked, breaking the hug. “You haven’t come to say hi since you came back,” she added, pretending to be hurt by that.“I’m so sorry. I was just overwhelmed by things happening in the pack.” Lilac gestured for them to take a seat in the gazebo close by.“Why are you here alone? It’s unlike you,” Doris enquired. It surprised her when she saw lilacs lost in thoughts in the garden. After her talk with Lucas earlier, she had no choice but to look for Lilac.“I just needed to clear my head,” Lilac replied,

Later at night, Alice and Devon stood in his bedroom, as Alice when to the bathroom to change into her nightwear. She came back out to find Devon standing close to the bathroom door.Alice lowered her head and hid it with her hair, which fell from both sides of her face. She felt giddy and nervous when she realized Devon was going to be sleeping next to her.He smiled warmly at her and waltzed close to where stood.“Let’s get some sleep. It’s getting late” Devon grabbed her hand and led her back to the enormous bed. The words “Let’s sleep” alone made Alice’s heart rate increase rapidly, her nervousness increasing. She stopped in her tracks and looked anxiously at him.The man, who she knew for not even up to a week. They were sharing the same bed already. The thing that made her confused the most was that he was ready to protect her from any harm. Devon gave Alice a feeling of safety that she hadn’t had for a long time.And there was also an electric-like spark between them that she

Alice’s eyes grew wide in surprise at the sudden outburst of the wolf. She dropped her hands down and covered her ears. The growl was so loud that it sent shivers down Alice’s spine. The next second felt unreal to Alice. All she knew was that Devon pounced on her. She closed her eyes, afraid of the impact that would smash her body in an instant.However, what she felt was the Wolf’s soft purr on the skin of her arm. She opened her eyes slowly to see what was happening, and Devon let out another ferocious growl. Alice crawled down the bed afraid, she didn’t understand what was happening. She walked towards the door frantically and stumbled when she heard another ferocious growl come from behind her.She turned around to see where it was coming from and lo and behind a wolf as big as Devon with black fur stood behind. The next second the room door burst open and Lilac stood in between the door, gazing with worry etched on her face.Devon turned to Lilac, and there was a communication b

Alice looked at Devon, who stopped what he was doing. She wondered what was wrong. Devon dropped his hand from the doorknob and turned to Lilac out, who stood a few feet away from them. Lilac forward and asked what was wrong “What’s going on Devon?” “I need you to stay here with Alice,” He replied to her, and she nodded. Devon turned to look at his mate and gave her an assuring smile before walking out of the room. Alice attempted to follow him out but Lilac stopped by holding her arm lightly.“He will be back, don’t worry,” she assured her brother’s mate.“Why can’t we leave?” Devon asked as soon as he saw Lucas.“Kace just informed me about the shapeshifters attacking the packs around our territory,” Lucas replied in a downcast tone.“What! Ash cant be doing this alone? Someone must be helping him,” Devon said, and Lucas thought of someone.“Alpha, do you think Alpha Raphael may be involved?” “Raphael, I don’t think so. He might be against me, but he wouldn’t try something like

“Ash?” Raphael said the name again in disbelief, with his eyes wide with shock. Devon nodded, and Raphael began to shake his head.His mind reverted to the past and to what he did. The memory still haunted him after so many years. It was like he was reliving his past again and again. And now Devon was Telling him, the most shocking thing.“No, it can’t be true… I___ I… I killed him myself,” Raphael stuttered and Lilac stood up and walked to where he stood. Her problems were only getting bigger, she could feel a headache form at the back of her. Devon just added to her troubles by telling Raphael, she thought.Raphael looked up at Lilac with bewilderment etched on his face, He wanted her to tell him Devon was lying, but Lilac nodded, affirming what Devon said. Raphael let out an exasperated sigh and left the office in a hurry slamming the door loudly, before Lilac could say anything.“Why did you do that?” Lilac turned to Devon, with visible annoyance on her face.“He has the right t
