Sabrina. " Come to the pack lake, right now!" He ordered through the mindlink. His voice was laced with urgency and frustration, and even long after he disconnected the link, there was a vibrating sensation in my head. To link me, he had used his Alpha aura. Was it necessary? I muttered under my breath, massaging my forehead in frustration. I didn't respond. It was not like he gave me a chance to respond though. So, I focused on the matters at hand, organising and putting everything in order as the swearing-in ceremony came to an end. I was not done until an hour later and I took a familiar path to the Pack Lake. I had just wanted to go alone, but Ivy insisted on tagging along, especially after she heard about the Alpha aura-induced summon. She couldn't be at peace if I went alone. Honestly, I was not even scared that Rhys would hurt me, I was just too tired to argue with her. The walk from the packhouse to the pack lake was quite long, and more so, since we

Sabrina. " Fine," I agreed, leaving my voice hanging, briefly taking in their expressions. Joy and relief painted their faces. And especially Amery? She looked like she had stars in her eyes. " But I have a condition. " I added, watching with fascination as they went from being relieved to being alarmed, conscious. There was even a flicker of disappointment in Rhys' eyes as he looked at me. Well, I didn't care. In the past, I used to worry about upsetting him. I would have been beside myself with worry if I saw even the slightest bit of disappointment in his face, but now? I simply didn't care. Since the bridge was already burnt, there was no reason to keep on staring hopefully onto the other end, no? " Relax. Don't look so alarmed. Naturally, I am a very noble person. " My voice was light and soft, amusement dancing with my tone as I spoke. "I will always keep my word. To me, promises mean a lot." I reminded, casually, but Rhys' demeanour changed. He looked like he wa

Sabrina. " Think about it, Sabrina. For as long as I can remember, you have always wanted this necklace. I am willing to give it to you. ..." He paused, leaving his words hanging, the meaning behind the unfinished sentence obvious. As long as I dissolved the union, he would give it to me. Otherwise, he would give it to Sabrina. "Then give it to her," I responded, sounding nonchalant, unbothered, but under my office table, my claws dug deeper into my thighs, anger simmering at the surface of my eyes seemingly calm orbs. Of course, I wanted the necklace. More than anything, I treasured my mom's last piece and the thought of it becoming one of Amery's possessions tore my heart into shreds, but what option did I have? " What?" Maybe he wasn't expecting that response. He was stunned, surprised, even. " Since you have it, it's yours. You can give it to whoever you want, Alpha Rhys. " I reminded, peeling my gaze from him, as I mindlessly flipped through the papers. That was a

Sabrina Groans and growls tore through the air, followed by thundering sounds as dead bodies fell. The smell of death, sweat, and despair danced together, permeating through the air, and fear masked their faces as time went by. The tables were turning, and the rogues weren't prepared. From the obvious panic in their movements, it was clear that whoever had sent them, had promised them easy victory. And from how desperate they were, to get to me, to attack me, their goal was as obvious as daylight, to kill me. They were sent for my head. For Luna's head. In their mind, I was an easy target, a Luna who could be killed with just a few moves. In the mastermind's mind, I was the same cowardly girl that I was four years ago before I left the pack. Well, they were wrong, and I was about to show them just how wrong they were. The pack warriors were motivated, following my lead with ease, fascination, and admiration glazing their eyes as they watched me, but I wasn't flattered. I kn

Sabrina. "You have been away from the pack for four years. You might not know this, but we have had similar attacks for the past few years. The rogues are always looking to stir up problems." Rhys informed, taking steady steps towards me, each stride, an echo of composure and control, but with my keen eyes, I effortlessly saw through the panic that thinly engulfed his striking face. I had grown up with him, after all. I could detect even the slightest dip in his moods. To his words, I turned, fully facing him, a curious glint crossing my eyes as I searched for his. " And the way to go about it? Simple. We don't fret over them. We just kill them, all of them, problems solved." He added, sounding very convincing and I nearly scoffed. Kill them, eliminate them, and the evidence. In other words, that's what the Alpha meant. I had only been away from the pack for four years and Rhys thought that he could use it to manipulate me. I knew how such matters were handled. Issues co
