Ryan's POV"Those are some killer moves she has achieved." Jackson and Simon were interested in what they had seen earlier at the Donne household.No wonder why people call them ruthless soldiers. Looking at her alone explains everything. Even though I've experienced it firsthand, I've never seen her fully fight with that intensity in her eyes."What do her family members do?" Allen asked out of curiosity."They are the oldest Donne family known as legends." I blurted it out.The boys stared at me as if I had grown another head. "As in human trafficking, dangerous drug production, a group full of criminals?" Jackson exaggerated.I shook my head. "No. They are a group of fearless assassins in the gangster world. Donne is immortal. Unfortunately, they existed about six years ago. Their fifth son and daughter-in-law died, originally The cause is still unknown to us, but my parents and grandparents attended the funeral."I stop. "I forgot who they were until Athena mentioned their names."

Sally's POV“Are you sure you can drive?” Darius asked for the umpteenth time.I glared at him. “You know, I have a driver's license for a reason.”“Uh, sometimes people have a driver's license but are terrible drivers.”I gave him the dirtiest look I could muster. Is he saying I'm a bad driver without even experiencing it?Yes, I can drive, I just choose not to because I like being in nature in my town.I drove us to Ryan's pack territory, just like I remembered Jackson taking me here last time.Darius and I got out of the car and walked toward an acquaintance I saw standing not far from us. "Allen.""Hey, sister." The boy smiled at me but gave Darius an annoyed look.“Uhm… this is my friend, Darius. He is visiting from Germany.”Suddenly, Allen's once stiff posture became easier when he heard that name. “Did you say Darius – Alpha Darius Hunter?”Darius nodded with a gentle smile on his face. "Only one man.""Oh okay. Come here, I'll show you the way to the grill."I frowned in conf

Sally's POV"What is this?" I frowned at the scene before me. I can't believe I got out of my bed for this.Even though I know it's only 7 pm, I can't believe I left my comfortable space for this creature. I will kill Athena.He also frowned when he saw me. "Albert told me to meet him here. And what are you doing here?" He asked as if he were the owner of this cafe."Athena told me the same thing." I rolled my eyes. He had the nerve to narrow his eyes at me suspiciously. "I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a liar."I showed him the proof that Athena had texted, asking me to meet her at the Lupus cafe in town.Suddenly, a new notification arrived on both of our phones at the same time. The text has content. "I want you to sit at a table and communicate like human beings."I shook my head. "No way." I object.“Are you sure about that?” He said, but he had the same reaction as me. "Albert said if any of us don't cooperate, they will reveal our greatest fears and secrets." He turned th

Sally's POVTraining is all I do all weekend, no one is home, and they are going to one of those secret location meetings. Thank God for that. But, I guess, some of the house's maids are around.I remembered what the old man had told me this morning in the tea room.My grandparents sat across from me, the tension slowly starting to rise."Sally, I don't think I should keep this from you anymore." He stopped. "I've said this before. Time is slowly catching up with me."Why did he say such confusing words?My grandmother sat silently, sipping tea. She just occasionally threw me a few sympathetic looks, but not much more than that."Out of all my grandchildren, I have decided to choose you as my next successor."I can feel my heart slowly sinking. I don't want this.I held my breath. "Why? Why me?"“When the time is right, I will tell you.” His eyes immediately glanced to the right side of the room as one of the housemaids entered with our breakfast tray.I'm not sure why we didn't eat i

Sally's POV"Allen, leave us. Anything you hear in here must never be said outside, understood?" His mother almost warned him.Allen just nodded, leaving the house with a heavy sigh."Come here, I know you came looking for some answers." She led me to the kitchen area.I squinted at her. "How do you know? I can come and have tea with you."The woman laughed. "You're funny, but I could read you as soon as you got here. Plus, you're not the type to waste the evening on tea and cookies."My face fell, I was ready to leave, but the next word convinced me to stay a while."I can read you, yes, but not completely. Usually, it's very easy, it doesn't matter who, even Alpha Ryan himself, I can read them like an open book. But you, you dear, are the hardest. All I get is your aura, it's dark, brooding, curious, angry, and above all cold." She pulled me to sit next to the window.One of the things I hate in life is when people try to read me, but I'll ignore this because she's Allen's mother."
