Zander's POVJason was pacing around anxiously in the living room when I returned back home. As soon as his eyes locked together with mine, he rushed up to me. For the past few days, we have not been talking to each other, there was no reason for us to speak to each other after the last stunt he pulled when Riley was in our house.“How is Riley? Is she going to be alright? When will she be getting out of the dungeon? What did the Alpha say he would do to her? Did she really stab Richard?” My dear brother asked all in a heartbeat there was so much that has changed in him these last few years we've been apart. I was worried and jealous over his closeness and anxious state towards Riley.“She shouldn't be your problem, you should focus on your school, graduating, going to college, and finding your mate, Riley isn't your mate so you shouldn't ask after her at all”“I know she isn't my mate but she's my friend and I want to know what happened to her. I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my

Silas’ POVThe Alpha was preoccupied when I walked in on him, engrossed in whatever he was doing as I read through the document right before him.“Is that another letter from the Hunter's Pack?”“No this is something Zara wrote for me days before the rain ritual”“You miss her don't you?”“Not a day goes by that I don't think about her, no one can ever be like her. Zara is everything no other woman can ever be, Not even my own mother”The manner that he described her was endearing but then it discredited other women and the former Luna, and I did not like that. I knew Zara when she was still alive. She was a beautiful and good woman though she never got along with Riley. Riley has always been arrogant and lived in her own world; she didn't bother much about making friends or getting along with anybody; the only friends she ever had were Zander, his family and Laurent since the three made a pact. Riley did not care so much about being friends with her even though she was going to be Za

Maeve's POV I had no idea how many days I had been. All I knew was that I needed to get out of here. I found that my sister had trapped me and everyone had started to believe that I was the evil one. It was hard for me to accept that both of them plotted all of these.When the door of the dungeon opened, I moved backward, the stench of the ugly gutter lingered through my nose. Fear gripped me as I wondered who was walking inside, able to cast here into my soul. Somewhere In My heart, I wanted to be left alone. These are my dark days, the worst nightmare has come, and Alphonso has appeared once again to make my life a living hell. I wonder what he has said to the pack. It would have been better for him to reject me now than for me to pass through this hell, no matter what. I still wanted to be the only one who was to spend the rest of my life with him. But it wasn't possible, because deep in his heart he had already rejected me and dreaded his moments with me so I will never want to f

Zander's POVWhen Uncle Silas rushed into the room with Riley I wanted to rush up to them and ask for what's happening but then I couldn't. I had to hold myself; this was not the right time for me to do anything.“What happens, Uncle”“What do you think? That bastard Richard was torturing her, before I had to show up, it took a lot for him to release her. If I had left her there, I'm sure she would have died”I clenched my jaw. Richard was a thorn in my flesh. I have no idea how to get rid of him permanently, ever again in my life ever again. He was the Alpha's cousin and even though Laurent was no longer the same man he used to be years ago, he would not accept it if I were to raise a hand to kill him, otherwise I would have done away with him a long time ago.“What did you say to him to help release her? He is an obstinate and hard-headed man. I know he will not just give her to you on the platter of gold. Did you use the Alpha's card? Do I have to repay him?” I asked in a heartbeat

Alphonso's POVMaeve was a thorn in my flesh. I have never really been in love with the stupid girl, but then she kept throwing herself at me and when she found out that I was her mate, she thought that I was going to fall in love with her. I will never love someone like her who was weak if I wanted to do something, it would be with Avery. She was more well-mannered and could be the perfect Luna for my pack. Every day that I have to wake up and realize that I am still with Maeve, my life becomes a living hell. I don't want her close to me. The mere thought of her made me feel disgusted.I did not know when these feelings became this strong and distinct. All I knew was the more I got to spend time with her, the more that I wished for her to disappear and wanted to end her life. She was a hindrance to my happiness. “A penny for your thoughts?” Avery leaned against my study smiling. Her red lips were what turned me on almost every time that she came around. She was like a temptress and
