Alpha Jake's POV "I heard everything. Those rich words of motivation. With what I'm facing now, I think those are what I need at this moment," I divulged with honesty. Decision-making wasn't as easy as many thought; it always came with consequences, as Nicholas said. What most people didn't know was that, as a leader, most of these decisions were not what was wished for."What do you really need my assistance with?" Nicholas asked me, though his voice seemed unfriendly but I was certain that was only on the surface. Deep down within him, he felt pity for me.He must have passed through something like what I was going through right now and for him to be standing tall today only meant that he prevailed over the horrible experience."About the issue of Tuba, the Seer. I'm sure he is working for the enemy. But many believe that I'm wrong, he is so charismatic that many would pick his side. I'm afraid that might tear the pack apart. Help me!" I made sure that my words were not the only

Anna's POV The dinner today would be opened with the execution of a traitor. A man who was expected to be the backbone for the pack but happened to be the one selling them out. Except that was not the true story, but the way Nicholas weaved it to be. There was going to be bloodshed because of me, something I told Nicholas that I didn't want, clearly. As we were preparing for the dinner, every time I drifted my mind to the thought that a man would be killed because of me, I became devastated. "Are you worried about him?" Nicholas had slipped to my back, but I didn't know, as my mind had travelled far. "This very Seer knows about Anna's death. If that will make you feel better." Even if he took part in it, Alpha Jake had already had it in mind, and the fact that I was back as Noelle was enough to forgive them all. "I forgave them all for that already. I just want to take back everything that belongs to me without bloodshed," I reasserted but Nicholas didn't seem to care about it.

Anna's POV "Is this why you want to kill him?" Linda raised her voice as if she were faced with utmost disappointment. "Just read it!" Alpha Jake also remained adamant "I've read it already. Just this?" She shoved the piece of paper back to Alpha Jake. "This isn't enough reason to execute an ordinary man not to talk of a loyalist. Tuba, the great Seer, should be released right now and granted freedom," she said it like an order, but no one made any move. Nicholas made a strange grunt and attracted everyone's attention. "This is a simple issue. Alpha Jake has his suspicion and Luna Linda has a different thought. Both of them can't be right but they can both be wrong." Nicholas nodded as Alpha Jake made a commending sigh. "Let's hear from the horse's mouth." He pointed to Tuba to speak. Before Tuba could say anything. Alpha Jake flared up, rebuking him. "No. Tuba is a dangerous man, he's a spiritualist. He can hypnotize us all by just listening to him. Everyone knows that alrea

Linda's POV After the dinner, I made sure that I didn't show any sign that could make Jake suspicious of me. I just waited for him to sleep off. Quietly, I escaped into the hallway and made my way towards the main entrance of the Fort. Despite how stealthy I was, some of the guards were still alerted but they couldn't do anything once they realized it was me. Not until I got to the main entrance did I expect him to be on guard; I was standing face to face with Lancaster. Lancaster was the head of all the guards in the Fort. He was so arrogant that Alpha Jake was the only one he considered as his superior. I knew it would be a problem if I encountered him, but I believed he would have entrusted the Fort to his subordinates. "I believe the Luna is not sleepwalking." He stood right in front of me, armed with his swords, like he was blocking an intruder. "I just... I just needed some fresh air!" I quickly summoned the courage to stop myself from fidgeting. "And the main entranc

Anna's POV After Tuba had been executed, Nicholas started training Alpha Jake in secrecy as he requested. To Alpha Jake, he was receiving training, but Nicholas was using the opportunity to learn his tactics. As I was in the chamber, relaxing as Nicholas had already gone to train Alpha Jake, a rattling knock sounded on the door. "Come in!" I believed it was Sue, the maid who was assigned to this chamber; she was the only one I was expecting. But I was wrong. "Tuba is dead now, who's next?" Linda asked with sarcasm as she walked through the doorway towards me. "I'm sorry to startle you. I'm sure you aren't expecting me to be here." "Oh, Luna Linda. It's a pleasure to have you here." I quickly feigned a smile to welcome her. "The pleasure is mine. To be honest, your beauty is second to none, it's a pity you have to wear that mask because of him." She leaned closer to see more of my eyes that were not properly hidden under the mask. I quickly tightened the mask to my face. "Th

Anna's POV "I will never kill anyone!" I sighed as I got out of the shock. "Sue, I didn't take any offense against you. You can go!" I pulled and walked her to the door while the other maid followed us. After they left, I returned to my seat and started trying to piece everything together. I knew this was not everything planned by Linda, it just seemed like the way to her main plan, which I couldn't fathom yet. Not long later, Nicholas barged in without knocking. He hurried around the chamber as if he were searching for something, while ignoring my presence. "Is something wrong?" I rushed after him as he kept sniffing every corner. "Why is this place reeking of wine?" He turned and held me, staring into my eyes with confusion written all over his face. Since we have been inhabiting the chamber, we hadn't brought in wine not to talk of sipping it. "Can you just calm down?" I was getting startled by his restlessness. Since I had known him, I had never seen him so worried. "Li

Anna's POV Alpha Jake's voice was weak as he asked. It seemed like he already believed in what he was told but only felt disappointed in me.I just stood there, shaking visibly, my lips kept moving but I couldn't say a word. Out of fear and confusion, I pulled harder on Nicholas."She's greatly disturbed right now! Why not give us some minutes?" Nicholas pulled me closer to his side with his hand around my neck as if he was shielding me."Some minutes? For what? She took a whole life!" Linda snarled, charging at me."How sure are you?" Nicholas was still calm, undisturbed as if nothing was going on."Stay back, Linda! This is not how we do things. An investigation will be carried out and the culprit will be punished accordingly." Alpha Jake bent to get closer to the corpse, examining it. "Get Snowden down here!" he ordered and some guards hurried away.I just kept shaking, unable to say a word as we waited for Snowden. Every time I looked up, my eyes kept making contact with Linda's

Linda's POV A day earlier.With Lancaster's help, I didn't have to be bothered about any of the guards whether they had undivided loyalty for Alpha Jake or not.I could move around the Fort anyhow anytime I wanted. Despite showing his support for my cause, I still didn't want him to have all the details. I wasn't sure maybe he had another motive for helping me.In the dead of the night, I slipped out of the chamber and he accompanied me out of the Fort."You can go back now!" I pointed sideways, to the Fort main entrance."I have been thinking, Luna. Leaving you on your own outside the Fort at times like this is not commonsensical." He strolled to my front, showing no sign of preparing for departure. "I have to go with you to ensure that you are safe.""Thanks for the concern but I will be fine. Please, go back!" I insisted and turned back to face the Fort to avoid his eyes."I am not wishing you bad but if anything happens to you, I will be the last person seen with you! I believe y

Alpha Jake's POV I pulled out my sword and froze as I realized the look on Nicholas' face."She's just a mistress, one of your mistresses. I don't expect you to be disturbed like this," I managed to say without looking into his eyes."Noelle is not just a mistress." Nicholas' rage was so hot that I could feel it even without standing close to him."She is your adviser, I remember." I tried to pacify him but I expected him to understand. "My hands are tied. If she's found guilty, I will have no choice." Knowing that he wouldn't be very happy with that, I moved farther."Every sensible soul knows that she was framed for this murder. Everything was too accurate." He moved closer to me and I felt somehow suppressed."We can only act on what is proved, to maintain justice. Alpha Nicholas, you are a high-ranking Alpha, you understand this more than I do." I put my sword back in its sheath. It seemed like there wasn't going to be any training today."If you know that, then let us work toget

Alpha Jake's POV "Because your chief guard is now involved. Let's start like this, how did he become the chief guard?" Nicholas signaled me to lead the way out of the maid's quarters.I led the way with my mind shaking as I didn't know the right answer to his question. The right answer that wouldn't give birth to another question."He's the next in line!" I muttered on my way out of the quarters."There were people who were next in line but never became the chief guard in this same pack, right?" He finally made it happen, the chain of questions that I was trying to avoid. "Why is that?""If the person next in line is declared no longer fit for the position, maybe they committed a crime, it's mostly treason." My only wish now was to get free of Nicholas."Your chief guard came with someone to the maid's quarters to force an innocent maid, who is now dead, to frame my Noelle. I believe you still want justice to prevail." Nicholas' voice was filled with sarcasm."To serve justice duly i
