Mitchell's POVWe finally arrived at the Golden Leaves pack, and some guards opened the door for us immediately after we were parked. Jissa, who slept almost all through the journey, was the first to come out of the vehicle. I followed suit and Miranda came out last. Her outfit made her look out of place, but that was what she had on and we had no choice. We followed the Golden Leaves pack guards, while Alpha Mergec's guards followed behind.The werewolves of my pack had looks of pity, some kept happy faces as they watched us walk through the large compound. Everything seemed to have changed a little and I was taking in the whole scenery. To my far left, the guard's quarters that was a bungalow had now become a group of storied buildings. Beside them was another building, a new one, but I had no idea what it was.Looking to the other side, I saw that the orchard was bigger now. More trees and shade, meaning more cool breeze. I could see some ripe fruits on the ground, and some Omega ma

Chapter ThirteenMitchell's POVFinally, the day was over and I had to go to bed, father, mother, my best friend– Jissa, and Miranda had made my day a blast. I felt like there was no reason to worry or sorrow any more. I wished I hadn't stepped out of the pack to marry Damien, but the picture of his torture and public disgrace was forever marked in my head as a memory of delight.Throughout the day, Jissa had taken it upon herself to tease me and my newfound mate. I couldn't believe I could still laugh that hard. The jokes had snatched me away from the pains of yesterday that tugged at my heart, but I chose to ignore them. Miranda seemed to be switching from trying to understand what was going on, to laughing at some jokes she may or may not understood but chose to join in probably because she was tired of being left out.All the memories of the day were blissful and I still had a big smile on my face as I climbed up the bed. "Alas," I said in resignation. This was the first time in

Damien’s POVIt has been three days now and no one has come to me. Even my Luna refused to come and see me. Is this how the world works? The alpha king had had his guards take me by the shoulder, tied me to the pole, and flogged me till I couldn’t beg for mercy. It seemed like forever as blow after blow of the whips and rods landed on my back and sides. My wolf received every blow of the beating as I did. He couldn’t help me. When they started I saw the other werewolves stand by and watch me cry out as they applied the force of their whips on my body. They stood like helpless spectators while the alpha king, that stupid fellow, watched expressionless. I have never seen that fool show any emotion even when we saw it at previous meetings. My father and mother stood there, bewildered and helpless. My mother’s body was shaking from crying.The worst pain I received that evening was from my mate, my love Mitchell. It pains me so much to admit it but I had always loved her, but I treated h

DAMIEN’S POVOne of the brothers was commanded to look after me. He brought me medicines and food and kept me undisturbed in a room by a tree, where birds came every morning and evening. I was commanded to not go anywhere until I was fit to travel. When the brother who brought my meals noticed that I ate the vegetables more than the meat he brought, he spoke harshly to me.‘You should eat more meat so that you can gain your strength and agility quickly.’‘But my mouth still feels sore. I can barely chew.’ I responded‘Oh, I see that you just want to waste our time by delaying your recovery. It didn’t seem like you had a sore mouth when you were pleading for a second chance the other day.’If I had my way, I would know the living daylight out of this one, but there would be a chance for that soon. ‘The meat seems very tough and I can’t chew as much as I would want to, but I will do better.’‘You better, else I will tell the master you are refusing to get well.’ With that, he left the

MITCHELL’S POV I turned to look at Athan and back at Damien. Athan was holding me tightly by the waist. I felt my throat tighten and the air putrid. This can’t be happening. The atmosphere was now stifling. All I wanted to get out of my dress but Athan held me close.‘Please. I allowed this for a reason, trust me.’ He begged; his voice gentle as always.‘Why?’ I asked, looking at him and seeing a certain pain in his eyes.‘You shouldn’t have brought him here, not now.’He pursed his lips and the smile was gone. The pain in his eyes became evident.‘I wanted him to apologize for the pain he caused my woman. No one who messes with anyone whom I care about can go scot-free.’ I felt the cold in his voice, like the one I heard the first night we met.‘But not in my father’s house and not when we are about to plan our lives together as a couple.’He was silent for a while, then said,‘No harm will come to your father’s house, I guarantee it.’I was silent and looked away. I brought his ha
