~Alpha Kilhan~ “According to Ashley, before Alpha Darius caught her on the phone, she said the men at the gate take shifts in guarding the building, and this takes ten minutes,” I said to Drex and Charles nodded, paying rapt attention. “This is 11:50 a.m. We have less than ten minutes to get into the compound.” Charles answered, and I nodded. I looked back at my members who laid low behind us, in the spot we hid. “Tell them to buckle up,” I whispered to Drex, and he crawled back to give them instructions. I looked at Charles and saw that his eyes were fixed on the building. “I swear I’m going to kill that man myself if he murdered my mother.” He mumbled with his jaws clenched. “It’s so easy to say, but when you get in front of him, I hope you'll be able to lift a finger,” I answered, taking a glance at my wristwatch. I raised my hand and pointed towards the gate. We all rushed to the gate, holding steadfastly to the weapons we had prepared. Summoning courage, I proceeded to o

~Alpha Kilhan~ Pulling my shirt off my body, I fell weakly to the ground of the cell I was locked in. My chest was bleeding and in severe pain. I tore a long part of my shirt and molded it into a thick fabric, which I pressed against my chest. I groaned loudly, grabbing onto the floor in agony.While I was nursing my wound, I heard footsteps approaching, and when I looked up to see who it was, it happened to be her. The last person I wanted to see. I looked away and continued to press the cloth against my bleeding chest. “Alpha Kilhan.” She called, but I refused to look at her anymore. The next thing I heard was the gate opening. I furrowed my brows and looked up to see that she had the key to the locks. “What the hell are you doing?” I asked as I tried to stand up, but she hurried into the cell and squatted in front of me. Just then, I noticed the box in her hand. “You shouldn’t move.” She uttered, staring at my chest. “Go away. Does your father know you’re here? I guess not.

~Celine~ Watching Ethan leave made my heart ache, but there was nothing I could do about it. He had been such a good friend to me, and the best I could do was be happy for him. While I sat in my room, feeding Kendrick, there was a knock on my door. “Celine?” I heard a feminine voice call my name. I creased my brows and looked at the door. “Who is it?” “It’s me, Ashley.” She answered, making me scoff. “What do you want?” I asked in a cold tone, carefully placing Kendrick on his bed before heading to the door. “I just want to talk to you, Celine.” She answered, and before I said anything else, I opened the door. “But I don’t want to talk to you,” I answered. “I know you hate me because of what I did to your mother, but can you at least let me explain?” She asked, and I scoffed again, moving away from the door after leaving it open. “I should let you explain why you had to be with your sister’s husband of all men? Of course. Explain. I want to hear what you have to say.” I utt

~Alpha Kilhan~ I was lying on the bed in the cell when I heard someone approaching. At first, I thought it was Celine, but I was surprised to see her father, Alpha Darius Gomez. “You seem to be doing well.” I heard him say as I got up from the bed. He opened the gate to the room I was in and stepped in. “Your little drama can’t kill me. I’m an Alpha too, remember?” I asked courageously as I stood up. “You should be thankful my daughter got involved at the right time or you wouldn’t be alive today.” He scoffed, moving closer to the gate. “And at least I’d be glad that I didn’t leave your horrible face without harm on my deathbed,” I answered with gritted teeth. My response pulled a chuckle from him, and he nodded with a smirk. “I don’t have time for this, so I need you to listen well. You’re not dead right now because of a reason best known to me. And I know very well you don’t want to die now, so we are going to strike a deal.” He uttered, causing me to immediate

~Alpha Kilhan~ Getting to my compound, I deeply breathed in its air, recalling every memory I had had in this compound. I couldn’t help but imagine what would have happened if Alpha Darius succeeded in killing me. ‘I'd never have seen this house again. And who would have taken over as Alpha??’ I wondered. “Drex, of course,” I answered loudly, heaving another sigh before I began to approach the house.As I moved closer and my guards saw it was me, they lifted your voices, called out my name, and began to howl. I was happy to see them too. My pack members ran out of the house at the sound of the guards’ voices and when they saw me. They all went on one knee, lowering their heads. A wide smile curved up my lips as my eyes moved from one person to another, from guards to pack members. ‘Only one person made it possible. And that was Celine. I owe her.’ I thought, moving even closer to the door. “I missed y’all so much,” I uttered, and they all stood up and ran towards me, throwing
