Chapter 51Author's POVDave was frozen, his mind reeling a thousand possibilities, but only one that loomed above them all, he was caught. Caught having said things that could not be taken back. He looked dumbfounded, a single drop of sweat was running down the side of his face as he looked at Alpha Duiane, who stood there, his face unreadable.He knew what Alpha Duiane had heard. Every word. Every panting breath. And that was not something to be brushed aside with an apology."Alpha, I didn't mean”’ Dave started.Alpha Duiane interrupted him by stretching out his hand before he could complete the sentence."I don't want to hear it." Alpha Duaine said. His voice sounded very firm. Dave froze, half-way across a stride, his shoulders sagging as if Alpha Duiane's refusal had let the air out of what little courage he had managed to gather.The air shifted under the weight of Alpha Duiane's voice.

Chapter 53Authors POV (Alpha Dylan pack)The Pack's great hall was dimmer than it usually was, shadows encroaching on the pillars as if mourning the passing of the old Alpha. At the end of the hall, Dylan stood where the throne of dark stone loomed behind him like an unwanted legacy. His father had died only three weeks before, and with the body barely cold, the elders had swooped around him like vultures, declaring him the Alpha but not without an ultimatum.He had to get a Luna. In one moon cycle. Or else the title would go to Dylan's younger brother.Dylan's arms were folded as he paced the hall, his boots clanging off the marble. He was used to duty and stress, his life had been built of discipline but this decree had unnerved even him. Not that he was intimidated by his brother. No, his brother was not cast of steel as a leader needs to be. But because it reduced the concept of love to an expiration date.He stopped halfway across the room and grumbled. "A Luna in a month," he

Chapter 55Authors povDylan's beta cousin sister, the cousin sister he had spoken of was Lena, she was something more than a snoopy schoolgirl. Behind the perfectly rolled hair and spotless uniform, she was a cunning young woman who had been keeping quiet, counting, and waiting. And she had gotten what she wanted in the most unexpected way.It had all started a few weeks ago.The air had been heavy with tension that afternoon, if only Lena couldn't explain why. She'd been walking down the administrative wing of the school, tasked to present a faculty report on behalf of one of the senior lecturers. It was supposed to be a normal thing, one she could've avoided like she had with most others but there was something in the lecturer's voice that had pushed her to comply immediately.As she made her way down to Alpha Duiane's office, she stopped quickly to eavesdrop. The door hadn't been closed fully all the way, and she heard voices that were deep in a conversation. Out of habit or p

Chapter 57Author's POVThe sun dipped behind the walls of the east mountain range, casting golden light over town as evening came. The silence boomed as loudly as it ever had to, and anger between Lessie and Alpha Duiane of unstated feelings ebbed and flowed with every new dawn. So when Trent invited her to a class picnic, at a family’s cabin on the edge of school grounds, she was overjoyed. "I'm so bored," she said to her maid. "A couple of hours out won't hurt me."She dressed in plain jeans and a floral-print top, with her curls tied loosely. She went out to meet with Trent, she flashed him a smile when she saw him."You look very happy," he said, gesturing for her to take his arm like a gentleman."I'm not," she said. Then she grinned. "But I will be soon."The party was small affair, a dozen people, some soda and music on the breeze. Someone ordered some bottles of wine, and one of them said that it was not alcoholic." She didn't want to drink initially, but after a d

Chapter 59Lessie's POVThe week went by uneventfully, almost sneaking up so, like the calm before the storm. Everything had fallen into a routine, my classes, occasional dinner with Alpha Duiane in silence, brief conversation with Trent, and moments of time where I caught myself overthinking again.For once, I was beginning to feel okay, to feel Iike me again.I woke up on fateful morning, my chest felt lightened, as if the world was finally taking pity on me and letting me breath a little. I showered and had some breakfast, I wore a blue colored top tucked into my black jeans, then pulled my hair into a ponytail, and left for school early.
