Leo's POV"Talk to me clearly Reed. What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to understand what he meant. "There's a protest going on in the pack house right now. They're all in front of the pack hall, the major members of the pack protesting with the youth leaders." Reed explained. I can't believe this is happening. Why do I feel like I know the reason why they're doing this? "And why did they say they're protesting?" I asked again. "It's because of Luna. They don't want her and they want someone else. That's why they're all here." Reed explained. I sneered, they didn't even protest when I put the elders in jail and now they're doing it? Tell me Caleb has nothing to do with this again. I scoffed, "Make sure no one leaves. I'm on my way there." I hung up and clenched my fists. Are they trying to make me a serial killer or what? I'm not neglecting my pack and I've been trying to run the pack smoothly, yet they dare turn against me?"What's wrong?" I heard Aiva's voice behind

Aiva's POV"You're not saying anything. Is something really wrong?" I questioned him again seeing how silent he got. I don't want to be getting different ideas but I'm starting to get some from the way he's keeping silent. "No. Of course not. There's nothing wrong. Why do you keep asking that? I just want you to win because you deserve to win." He stated. "Oh." Was all I could say. I tried hard to hide my feelings so he wouldn't read them. He must be embarrassed of me since he's not telling me what happened today. "Are you embarrassed of me?" I blurted out, unable to completely hoard my emotions inside. He looked shocked when I said that. "I'm not embarrassed of you. Why would you ask me that?"I shrugged, "I don't know. I just thought you might be embarrassed since you want me to win so much. It's probably going to affect you to have a loser as your Luna."His face dropped, "Why are you saying that? Did you hear anything? Did anyone tell you anything?"I shook my head, "No one to

Aiva's POVI left home for work after leaving my brother with the new nanny hired for him. He's going to be okay so I'm fine with it. After arguing with Leo like that, I couldn't stop thinking about him all day. Of course, I missed him a lot and it drove me crazy that I couldn't see him at all. I didn't go check on him at the office and only sent someone else to check on him. He also didn't come to see me even though he was at work. I still don't want to see him even with how I felt because of what he did. "Aiva!" One of my coworkers called me and I turned abruptly. "What is it?" I asked in a low voice. "Someone is here to see you." "Who might that be?" I got curious. "It's me." I heard a familiar voice and saw Simon, Lucas's older brother and beta coming close to us. "Simon?" I asked in surprise, what's he doing here at my workplace and at a time like this. What exactly does he want from me and why is he doing this?"Do you not know him Aiva? Do you need me to send him away?"

Leo's POV I was listening to her talk to her brother about what I did. I know I was not supposed to be listening to their conversation, but I just couldn't help myself but listen. I know I sound stupid, but I don't know. I just feel jealous knowing that she hates me right now. I feel jealous knowing that she wants to talk to other people and not me, even if the person is her family. The moment she almost agreed to go with her brother, I felt so scared. I guess her brother would also be mad at me since he was saying Aiva shouldn't go and win the competition. All this happened because of my stupidity. I shouldn't have dragged about her when I was mad at everyone in the pack. I should have just shut up and let things go the way they are. Now I don't even know what to do about myself. "Alpha..." Someone tapped my shoulder, and I immediately pushed the person away so they wouldn't find out I was listening to them. It was Reed, my beta. "Is there something you are looking at there, alph

Aiva's POV For the next few days, I got as much training as I could from Leo and my brother. I avoided everyone at the academy and let them make fun of me. I even watched some people bet on how fast I was going to lose in front of me, but I just ignored them all. I continued to train hard, and thankfully, I got some time off from work, so I was able to concentrate on my training. The first few rounds are coming soon, and they will soon put the list of the people matching together on the bulletin board. I was sorting out my locker at the academy when someone slammed it in front of me. That person would be none other than the drama queen Cassie. “What's this about Cassie, are you thinking of disrespecting me again?” I asked, confident she was going to stop if I threatened her with her Alpha. She scoffed, her face already burning red. I know she's too mad she can't do anything to me. “I didn't come here to disrespect you. I was trying to call you earlier, but you didn't hear me.
