Chapter 71Victor"It can't be," my heart hammered in my ears, as I heard the news of my daughter's betrayal. "Not Cassandra."Pack trackers hardly ever make mistakes. They carried out their tasks with attention to detail, leaving no stone unturned. "Where did I go wrong?" I wept internally, as I rushed home, hoping the Cassandra Donovan mentioned was not my Sunshine. I got home and climbed the steps hastily, testing the door for signs of tampering. Relief washed over me, when I found the screen door intact as I left it. Maybe the tracker was wrong. They had my Cassandra confused with another traitor. Besides, the boot print found at the border could belong to anyone. For once, the trackers may be wrong.Hard as I tried to think otherwise, I couldn't shake off the fear gnawing at my gut. I nurtured her and Freya, watching them grow into the strong independent women I'm so proud of. Though, Freya never gave me aches to worry about, I couldn't give up on Cassandra because of her flaw

Chapter 73Gideon "Alpha Gideon," Julian called from outside the door. "We have a situation. Damon is in the pack."The moment after our release, I felt it... raw, primal, uncultivated power, swelling from my core, and spreading through channels once blocked. For the first time in a long time, my wolf howled at full strength, testing the merit of the power. I recognized the power as mine, coursing through my veins. Underneath the familiarity was an unshakable presence, strengthening the bond. It reached my marrows, and breached the last line of defence from the poison. I clenched my fist, and stood at full height, savoring the return of me.Cracking my neck, I dragged in a long breath, filling my healed lungs with fresh air. Damon, I'm coming for you..."Give us a minute," I responded, zipping my pants, and throwing my shirt over my body, button in it quick. Freya lay on the floor, and I feared if I went too far. Rushing to her side, I crouched over her, placing my hand on her b

Chapter 75Julian "Cat got your tongue?" Alpha Gideon scoffed. "You're not so bold now after all."The rage in Damon's face was evidence of a ruined plan and backfired invasion. His strategy was simple- attack, instill fear, subdue Gideon, and seize the pack. The single combat duel ruined everything, bringing him to ground zero.I smirked. The fucker will get what he deserves and leave Willow Ridge for good."You bloody scoundrel!" Damon growled. "Using a forgotten law to evade your fate is pathetic!""Blah, blah, blah... Alpha Gideon yawned. "You see, Damon... I'm trying to make this as quick as possible. None of your men have to die with you. Or... are you scared of accepting my challenge?"Damon sneered, visibly upset by the unexpected challenge. "This was not part of the initial agreement. You can't bring it up out of the blue.""All I hear is more excuses from a coward. Prove to your men that you're not afraid to send me running with my tail between my legs." Alpha Gideon said,

Chapter 77FreyaGideon and I entered the office bedroom to pass the night. He was visibly stressed, not to mention Damon invading the pack. I feared for the pack, and the safety of our unborn twins. I didn't want history repeating itself with them. The cruelty I endured ends with me, an unspoken promise I swore, with every intention of keeping.With my hand on my stomach, I watched Gideon sleep, lying face up. My core tighter, as flashes from the mating ceremony poured into my head, filling me with fresh lust waiting to be cultivated. I rubbed my thighs together, and bit down on my lips, pushing the lousy thoughts to the back of my head.My phone rang, jerking me to the present. Quickly, I reached for my purse on the nightstand and fished out the ringing phone.Without checking who it was, I answered the call, walking out of the room to the office. "Hello?""Freya," Dr Carver's voice came through. "I'm sorry for disturbing you, but you have to hear this." He was whispering. Somethi

Chapter 79FreyaThe pack ground went gravely silent, sending chills down my spine. Not that I knew who Mom was, but it still felt like I intentionally hid the truth from Gideon.At least, Damon made it look that way.I sat without flinching, keeping a straight face. Murmurs gradually rose, making me aware of myself. In spite of the turmoil turning my inside out, I made sure not to react suspiciously, so as not to send the wrong signals.My eyes met Dad's across the arena at the Councillors canopy. He swallowed, wearing a long face and a pleading look."Damon is trying to upset Alpha Gideon," Beta Julian commented. "The jab was never meant for you or your father. He wants him to lose his guard.""Even the blind will read between the lines," I agreed, shifting my gaze to Gideon. He didn't spare me a glance. Instead, he pointed his sword at Damon, and smirked. "You couldn't defeat me with your swords, so you tried to break me with pointless remarks. I'll be foolish to believe anything
