Mia's POV:There was something about Lycan Ville and Moon Claw pack. They had their laws and legal system. Some of them were adopted from the humans, a few who lived in Lycan Ville.Although the Alphas and council members controlled everything, the law was an individual body. It was how they maintained balance but it didn't mean that the Alphas weren't feared and respected.They still had some sort of control but in this case, control was completely out of their hand. A wolf had died and he'd died by the hands of another wolf in the same pack. The law was the law. This offense was punishable by death.Cassian D’ Angelo answered my call three hours later. He walked into the mansion wearing a grey suit. A maid showed him to the sun room where I opened the door.“If I'm here, it means someone's dead and someone has been framed or is responsible for it.” He said.“Good morning to you too, Cassian,” I said, sarcastically. “Can I get you something to drink?”“If it's not your blood in a gol

Mia's POV:“Jaxon,” I said, a warning tone in my voice. “I don't want a war starting because of me.”“If he wants my woman, then he's going to get a fight,” Jaxon said. “I guess I'll see you later. Say hi to the kid for me.”“I will.” I hung up. “Zayn, Jaxon says—” I stopped as I turned back to look at Zayn but he was already laid out on the couch, fast asleep. “hi.”He must have been exhausted. He probably hasn't been sleeping well for the past few days, staying on the run. At least, now, he could rest without worrying about the police coming after him.But, I knew he still had to hand himself over for investigation. I would get him bail and he would be back here, with me, where he was safe.I walked over to him and draped a blanket over him. I walked out of the room quietly, closing the door behind him. I asked a guard to watch the door.I didn't think Zayn was going to run away but I needed to make sure that he was safe from anyone who wanted to harm him or have him locked up. I w

Mia's POV:Zayn held up the plushie. It was a giant red mushroom. Talia snickered. “I think it suits you very well. It suits him, don't you think?” She asked.Melanie popped her head out of her bedroom and nodded in approval. “It does suit him. You were right. Red is your color, Zayn.” She said, before popping back in.“Y'all are insane, you know that.” He got down to lay the sheets well before climbing into bed. Talia jumped onto the couch, purposefully extending her legs to land on Zayn.“I think I'm going to watch a show before bed.” She announced.“Get off me, dweeb,” Zayn said, knocking her leg off of me. “Some people just have no manners.” He tsked, shaking his head.I chuckled. “Just make sure that you're in the room in an hour. You have school tomorrow.” I reminded her.She groaned loudly, throwing her head back and shutting her eyes. “When will the torture ever end?” She asked, dramatically. “I'm slowly withering away.”“That reminds me, do you plan on going to school tomorro

Mia's POV:We laughed. “I don't know what to do to your old house but I think I'm just going to lease it and keep the rent money in trust fund for you guys until you're all grown up and ready for the world.”“I'll be turning eighteen in three months.” Zayn deadpanned.“Exactly. Gotta wait until you're all grown up before handing stuff over to you.” I said.Genevieve and Melanie walked towards me. “It's time.” She announced.I gave each of them a squeeze and walked into the court, holding hands with them. We took our seats where we were supposed to. After all the legal process, the judge said, “The court has decided.”Talia gripped my hand and I gripped Zayn's hand. “Zayn and Talia Mando, 17 and 13 both, who were under the custody of late Mark Mando have lost their guardian and are now a responsibility of the government.”My face fell.“Does that mean I'm going to foster care?” Talia asked, her voice breaking. If she cried, I was going to cry.“However, after discussing with the jury,

Mia’s POV:“We’ve all heard about the attack of Frost Moon Pack at the border of our territory.” He began.It elicited a round of murmurs in the room. I sat in my chair, beside Jackson, schooling my features.Jaxon lifted his hand and got silence from all of them. “This isn't going to fix our current problem. The issue now isn't what happened to that town, it’s how we're going to respond to this. Brutally and the Moon Claw way.”“What did you say the motive of the war was, Alpha Jaxon?” Lord Torak asked. He was sitting next to Jace.“Territory expansion.” Jaxon said, “And a fight for my mate, your Luna.”A new round of murmurs flowed around the table. People glanced at themselves and stared at me wondering why I was important enough to start a war.“Their Alpha William wants Mia,” Jaxon explained in case anyone was slow. “And that's not negotiable.”“That's disrespect,” Torak said, palming the table. “Wanting to covert another Alpha's Luna? It's not unheard of but starting a war becau

Mia's POV:It wasn't long before the men Jaxon sent. We heard news from them about the town that the Frost Moon Pack had taken over. The Triplet forces had successfully reclaimed it. They'd gotten back the territory, even the hostages.William's warriors had retreated. I was in Triplet's office when the briefing came. Their Beta — Luca— mentioned that their sources believe that William was already gathering a new attack team.Jaxon linked his fingers together. “As agreed, we're retaliating. We're taking one of theirs.” He said.“Jaxon, I don't know about that. Don't you think we're making a big deal out of it? I mean, I know people have been hurt but can't we push for a treaty?” I asked, looking at him.“We can't keep being on the defensive, Mia. We're going to lose more that way. You know it.” Jaxon replied. “I know where your heart is but sometimes, you need to make hard decisions.”“A show of strength is necessary. We need to send a message to William. He thinks by taking over Broo

Mia's POV:“I call bullshit. There's no way that William will ask for a truce. We haven't even retaliated yet.” Jackson said, unfolding the hand across his chest.“I think it's fake too. Why would he call a truce for a war that he's only just begun?” Jace asked.I remembered the fact that I had met William a few days ago and discussed the war. Maybe he had changed his mind about it.“What if it's true? What if he's realized that this is all a mistake?” I asked, bringing all the eyes in the room to mine. “What if he wants peace?”“You're not that naive, Lady Mia. I know that you have a personal relationship with this Alpha William but I suggest that you keep your prejudices out of it and think about him as an enemy.” Lord Torak advised folding his hands behind his back. “Because regardless of how you may feel, you must always remember that he is the enemy and he will do anything to deceive us, like this.”I nodded, solemnly. “You're right. Thank you for reminding me about that. I'll ke

Mia's POV:I drove back home. Melanie's car was in the garage when I arrived. She was talking to Zayn. Talia was nowhere to be found.“Hey, what's up? Where's Talia and why are you home so early?” I asked, taking off my shoes and slipping my feet into comfortable slippers.“She had that movie thing with her friends today, remember?” Zayn said, reminding me.“Oh, yeah, she said it was today.” I walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch. “Mels,” I called.Melanie looked over her shoulder at me, a smile on her face from whatever Zayn had said. “I had a half day today. With the war happening, Jennifer wants everyone to be safe. She believes that not a lot of people coming to the orphanage will keep it safe.” She said, answering my question. “And besides, ever since you became mates with the Triplets, Jennifer has been able to hire more workers and get more funding, thanks to all you've been doing undercover.”“So you just go to work for fun now.” I grinned.Melanie squeale

Mia's POV:Talia got back home an hour and a half later than she said she would be back. She said she would be back by 7pm. 7:30 latest. It was a little past 9pm. I couldn't relax.I was worried sick because she hadn't been taking her calls. What if something had happened to her? She was a member of our pack. The enemy could have attacked her. What if she was hurt and there was no one to help her?I was ready to grab my keys and go out, driving around to find her. I didn't care how long it takes.The door unlocked and she walked in. I heard her saying bye to her friends who had probably walked her home since it was along their route or something.I stood up as she walked in. “Talia.”She jumped, placing her hand on her chest. “Oh, my goodness, you scared me.” She said. “Mia, hi, good evening.”“Where have you been?” I asked. “I've been trying to call you. You said you'd be back by seven. This is nine.”Talia turned on her phone, the light casting a glow on her face. “Oh, I'm so sorry.

Mia's POV:“Talia!” I screamed.Her body was burning. She had a fever and she was unconscious. I didn't think. I just found a way to carry her on my back.I ran out of my room, barefoot. “Melanie! Zayn!” I yelled.Zayn sat up in a bolt and was by my side. “What happened to her?” He asked.“I don't know. Grab the car keys.” I instructed, hurrying to put my shoes on while carrying her. “Melanie!”“What's the noise for—” Melanie replied, swinging her door open. She saw Talia on my back and hurried to meet us. “Shit. Talia?” She tried to shake her awake. “What the hell? What's wrong with Talia?”“I don't know. You're driving.” I told her, already barreling through the front door.Zayn had unlocked the car. Melanie quickly went to the driver's side. I placed Talia in the passenger seat, draping her head on my lap. Zayn sat in the passenger seat, next to Melanie, turning his head to look at her.The fear on his face was evident. He was scared of losing his sister. Melanie glanced back but s
