RYLAN'S POVZadik remained behind with a blank face as he stared hard at me. Unlike Venn and I who appeared very shell shocked to see Neilla, his face revealed no emotions. With his expression, he put the B in blank.Which had me thinking: Did he plan this with them? Was this even real or was it just a mirage to mess with my head? Was this his own way of making me regret my actions of the past?I closed my eyes as exhaustion swam over me in large waves. If I wasn't already collapsed on my chair, I'd have met with the ground already. With my wolf gone, I couldn't ask him for an assessment of the situation. I was left to listen to my intuition which at that point was failing. My past sins was coming to catch up with me and no one could save me from it. However, even if I were to be dead from the massive shock my body had just taken in, I deserved to find out what happened.Halfway into opening my mouth, Zadik brought forth a white envelope, requesting that I opened it. I knew what it c

LYKOS' POVFrom the revelation of the careless guard, we drew a conclusion that Neilla's whereabouts would be around New Zealand and she was most definitely there to search for the triplets herself. That was the reason I tried to keep the truth away from her for I knew she would try to venture out on her own, unguarded and without a formidable plan.I loved that she barely wasted time to bare her emotions to me, showing me the ways things hurt her through them. In this case however, it was a no-go to act so irrationally based off what she had heard down in the basement. How else was I to make her understand that she had bitten a bait and was letting herself be dragged into enemy's territories? Did all the trainings I gave her on self defense and tactful safety thereby go to waste?She could reject me, punch and kick and I wouldn't retaliate but her leaving without informing me was where I drew the line. In my view, that action was the highest form of distrust.And I didn't mean it i

LYKOS' POVI secured my seatbelt for the last time when the pilot announced that we were about to make a landing. As I did so, my fingers shook with sick anticipation and impatience. The pack was going to lose their leader if he doesn't give me the answers I most seek. He had no other choice anyway. He either talks or I make him talk. Either way, I'd be getting my family out. "Chill out, Lykos. You've been tapping that foot for the past hour. In a few minutes now, we'd be storming that psycho's palace for our mates, slitting throats too if needed and I pray the need comes. It's been a long time since I felt the warmth of fresh blood running down my fingers." Axel chuckled darkly beside me. I gave him a smile in response. He was trying to conceal his anxiety but who was he kidding? I wasn't his best friend and Alpha for no reason. I could very well see through him and sense all of his emotions scattered in every which way. "Then we take our mates and the triplets, and head on home

NEILLA'S POV"If he leaves, your bitch leaves too." There was no two ways about it. If he wanted privacy to speak, then it had to be completely between us.Venn released an angry gasp. "How dare you refer to me as--""Deal." Rylan replied without so much thought. At least it was only fair that it happened that way. I watched Axel stalk further into the room with jaw clenching over and over in anger. Marching straight to where Annabella was staring him down with an annoyed expression of her own. He grabbed her hand and made to pull her along."No!" She snapped defiantly at him. "I won't move an inch until those psychos tell us what we came to hear!" "Anna, please go with him. Don't make this hard for everyone." I pleaded with her. Somehow, she listened to me and with an annoyed huff and a nose upturned, she walked out. She totally disregarded Axel who was right on her heels.Marcell took a bow and promptly left afterwards, so did the two bulky werewolves who had come in with Axel. W

NEILLA'S POV"This place is top-notch." Axel praised as we stepped in through the doors. Annabella was also by his side but frowning at the whole place nonetheless. She never liked to hide her displeasure. However, I was sure her sour mood had nothing to do with the house. Whatever it was, she and Axel could deal with it."I have to admit." I agreed with him. I looked at Lykos beside me. "Don't you think so too baby?"He grumbled his response. He'd been that way since I refused to let him in on why I needed to see Rylan alone. He needed to let me handle things on my own because that was why I ventured out on my own and without informing me.This was my war to fight as the babies were mine and no one else's."They're mine as well. I have a right to input in their safety. Except you want to deny me that." He argued, his warm breath falling harshly against the side of my face.I ignored his protests, returned my attention back to the beautiful interior of the place we were going to be l
