Rose’s POV;“Yes, I am, but listen, Uncle Pete and David, the two of your attackers passed away this morning!” I informed him of the grave news and was met with an expected reaction.“WHAT!” His eyes were popping out of his sockets. For a moment, he was out of breath. “That can’t be….!” He added breathlessly.He passed his hand through his hair and even in such a tense state, he looked exceptionally handsome.I could hear his heart racing against his chest. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.I gave him time to adjust to the awful news. I thought he could handle it better as he is not just a normal werewolf but the Werewolf king but his extreme reaction shocked me a bit. I don’t know if he was sad, shocked, or terrified of the news.‘Why did it have such a profound effect on him? Is it really because he didn’t want them to die?’He opened his eyes and looked into mine. His eyes were unreadable. I was dying to know what was he thinking right now.“How did you f

Third Person’s POV;“Rose, what the hell!”“MOM!”She didn’t have to turn around to see whose voice was it.Her heart was thudding again but this time for a different reason.‘Did she see us? Did she see Elijah? What the hell am I going to say?’ She closed her eyes in frustration.She remembered how Elijah calmed himself in a situation so deadly and decided to do the same. She took a deep breath to calm her racing heart. She plastered a fake smile on her face before turning towards her mother.She was about to tell her mother about Elijah but stopped when she spoke,“What are you doing out here?” her mom asked with her hand on her waist in a demanding posture.“Um, I.. I came here for some fresh air. It doesn’t feel that good staying in the basement” Rose was smart enough to get the pity out and successfully change the topic.“Yeah, I am sorry about that honey, you must be feeling suffocated” Mother added with a sign of sadness but soon it was changed to suspicion.“But why are you he

Third Person’s POV;“Dad, Bro, how did they know that we kicked some werewolves out of our pack? Brother made that decision just yesterday and the attack was almost immediate” Cora asked and the suspension was already clear in everyone's mind but Elijah voiced it.“It’s easy, Cora. We have a traitor amongst us” Elijah informed without hesitating.“Who is it?” Liam asked almost immediately.“That is what we need to find out” Elijah said as gear in his was already rolling making a plan for to catch the traitor.“Liam, leave that to me. Prepare a grand welcome for the Alphas of different packs. Layla, dear, keep a close eye on everything for dinner tonight” Elijah commanded.“If I was a possessive best friend, I would have minded you calling her dear and not me” Liam said jokingly and Layla rolled her eyes.“Ever thought I would have preferred a possessive mate being angry that someone called me dear? So, stop with your crap, and let’s go” Layla dragged Liam out of the room and Elijah sh

Third Person’s POV;“Don’t you understand? How did they get to know that I had kicked out some members of my pack when I took the decision just barely an hour ago” Elijah asked finally hitting them in the gut.Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.“Are you trying to say……?” Alpha Luke didn’t continue the statement as this is a very serious allegation.“Yes, we have a traitor amongst us” Elijah wasn’t scared to speak the truth at all. “Who is it?” Alpha Evandor asked in agitation.“We will tear his skin apart” Alpha Rutherford added in equal rage.“Burn him to hell!” Alpha Xavier was furious as well.“We don’t know who it is yet and until we get that information, make sure you don’t trust anyone blindly. That was the reason for not allowing any of our Betas in the meeting in the first place. Even though we trust them all but more the ears, the more the information will spread” Elijah spoke sternly, and this time everyone agreed in complete submission.“That’s understandable”

“What is it Bro” Liam asked gently.“My mate belongs to the Blue family! She is a daughter of hunters!” Elijah threw the bomb right at them so the blast was inevitable.“WHAT!” Both of them screamed loudly.“The hunters who attacked me last night; three of them were her uncles” He attacked once more and their minds were completely blown now.“WHAT THE HELL DUDE! How can a werewolf be related to a hunter? Was she adopted?” Layla asked hoping for some reasonable scenarios.“Nope, I think her mother is a werewolf but her dad is a hunter” Elijah replied muddling their heads with uncalled information. “But the hunters…” Layla started but was cut in the middle by an irritated Elijah.“Enough of the hunters' talk, please! Here, I am scared that my mate hasn’t changed till now and the shifting is already painful to death. I don't know how will she live through the pain of shifting so late!” Elijah said sitting down on sofa while holding his head in his hand.Layla and Liam exchanged worried
