Elara’s POVWhen I got to the pack house, everyone was already gathered.Kaden was seated on an elevated platform with an empty chair beside him, presumably for me.He signaled something to Leo. Leo walked down to meet me. “Alpha says you should change. He will wait,” Leo whispered.I looked past Leo to Kaden and nudged Leo with my snout to the side. As all the pack members watched, I climbed to the platform in wolf form and sat on the ground in front of my chair.A hush went through the crowd. Even with their heads bowed, I could read the confusion on their faces.Why was their Luna choosing to remain in wolf form?Kaden did not comment on it and raised his hand. “Bring in the traitor!”A man was dragged in by two guards on either side of him and thrown on the ground in front of Kaden.His clothes were torn up, his body bleeding at odd places but I knew those eyes and hair anywhere.This man was directly related to Tracy.“Luna Elara,” he sneered. “Hopping from Alpha to Alpha, huh?”

Asher’s POV“You stupid child!” Father yelled as he threw a binder at my face.I dodged at the last second and it hit the coat rack behind me and clattered to the floor.“How could you be so useless to handle our affairs?!” he continued to yell as he had been for the past forty minutes.Mother stayed behind him, crying and mourning for ‘precious Adrian.’Because if only Adrian were here, the family business would not be in the state they were in.“What is all of this? Are you trying to drive us to our ruin?” Father tapped the papers. “How have we lost all our business partners in less than three months? Even some of our employees are planning to leave.”That was because you reduced their wages without prior warning so that you and Mother would still be able to afford your quarterly vacations.Mason actually voiced my thoughts out.My parents went dead quiet before turning to Mason with pure fury in their eyes.“What did you say to me?” Father said slowly.Rather than back down, Mason

Elara’s POVI opened the door to my apartment and stopped in my tracks.My brothers casually lounged in my living room. Leo flipped through the channels on the television so quickly that it was giving me whiplash.Cain laid on the couch, his hands flying across his phone. Only Ronan had the presence of mind not to have his shoes still on.“Are those shoes on my couch?” I asked, my voice cold.Cain looked up at me and then at the stains his boots had tracked on my white carpet and floors. “Oh. Sorry about–”“Go and get a rag. A soft one,” I said, walking in and tossing my jacket on the last free couch. “If you ruin my couch or my carpet, I better not wake up tomorrow and it will not be replaced.”“Tomorrow morning?” Cain said, trying to follow me.“You are still tracking dirt,” Ronan remarked, watching the chick lit on the show that Leo had finally decided on.Cain stopped and took off his boots, holding them in his hands.“Make sure to clean the floors too,” I said and slammed my bedr

Asher's POVI had a simple strategy for when Alpha Caelthorn came.Kowtow to him. Stroke his ego. Agree to his demands. Establish a friendly relationship.He did not know Elara before a few months ago so he had no reason to be petty with me.But now, it was one of her brothers I was in negotiation with. Not to mention the fact that I could not bring myself to bow to a Gamma.“Gamma Caelthorn,” I started.“Call me Ronan. What need is there for formality? If we had met a few months earlier, we would have been brothers–in–law.”His cheerful tone grated on my ears. How could he make something so harmless sound menacing?“Gamma…Ronan,” I said slowly.There was no way to figure out these witty types. One wrong word and you would offend them.Elara was much better at handling people like this.“There we go,” he said like he was praising a dog.I gritted my teeth, forcing my anger to the back of my mind. I needed him to speak favorably of me to his Alpha.This was for Lillian. For Lillian.“M

Kaden's POVI tossed a file to Cain’s desk. “Asher handed over Bluewave like he was getting rid of dead weight.”He baCain hummed, focused intently on the picture he was staring at on his phone.“Ellie said he would. Blackwood saw a chance to get rid of the scar on their reputation and make some unexpected money while at it…why did you pay them for it?”I was about to reply and then paused.Why did I pay them for it?It was because Elara said I should. I did not even question it.Cain grinned teasingly. “Oh. Taking decisions because your woman said you should. What a lovely tell-tale sign of love.”My full body twitched. Love?“It seems you do not have enough to do to be thinking about rubbish,” I said.Cain stood. “That is not the case, Alpha. Luna and I have prior engagements to this.”He was barely done speaking when Elara burst into my office, carrying a stack of papers.“Kaden, I need your stamp on half of these and your approval for the other half. The guest hall is being deep-
