"Alpha! You have to see this!"The cry sliced through Greenwood like a knife.I opened the door straight away. Movement was already filling the hallway. The warriors were rushing toward the center hall.Others were coming out of their quarters with expressions of surprise on their faces.This is happening again. And suddenly my stomach twisted in knots.Not too long ago, Kieran had just left me standing outside my room.And now, Greenwood is acting as if something else has happened.I stepped into the hallway. "Ana." I spun around.Lysa was rushing up to me.Her eyes were wide. "Have you heard that?"I nodded. "What is going on?" "I don't know."But for the first time since I knew her, she looked scared.Warriors kept rushing by us. "Did they find something?" one of them said."They found something on the dead body," another responded. Body? ohh. The intruder.My heart was racing.Lysa cast her eyes in the direction of the hall."We have to go." I paused. But then followed her.The

Cirgee pack. I said trying to force myself to believe it's not true.Wait a minute, you mean your Cirgee pack Ana? Rose said as she laughed in a rather mocking tone.I ignored her completely and continued in my panic mode, waiting to here from Kieran.Sure you don't have a hand in this Ana? Rose said confidently. I recall trouble spiked in this Pack right from the minute you entered.Murmurs began. She is part of the people who infiltrated our pack really?..Enough! Alpha Kieran Screamed. He addressed Rose immediately. Rose I won't have you fill everyone's head with your hate. I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.If you don't have anything meaningful to add to this issue we are trying to resolve right now, I'll advise you to keep your mouth shut.Kieran’s voice now cold spoke to me instantly. “ It could be possible he went to Cirgee pack but we aren't certain about that so there's no need to jump into conclusion".He must have been working for someone there or with someone there or

Hugged from behind me with little hands wrapped up on my body.I looked down.There was a little girl hugging my waist so hard that her knuckles went white.Her face was hidden in my waist.She was shivering. For a moment, I was too stunned to respond. Another cry came from the other side of the hall.This time not out of fear but of confusion.People started running around. Fast.I raised my head.One of the elders had fallen on the floor and some people were hurrying towards him.The healer forced his way through right away. "Clear up." The people made a gap.Kieran was already there. "Clear up for him Everyone." His voice rang out clearly amid all the chaos. The little girl hugged me even harder.I crouched down a bit. "You'll be fine okay.”She shook her head. "No, I don't think so..." Her voice broke. I looked down at her."What happened?" "The old man fell."Tears filled her eyes again. "Is he dead?"This question struck me unexpectedly hard. I placed my hand on her shoulder.

Mara drew a long breath. "...a child had gone missing."I frowned right away. "A child?" Which Child? Mara nodded; you were very little then I guess that's why you didn't remember.It was Ronan. “He was one of the youngest wolves in Cirgee Pack then."That was not what I was expecting…I had thought about war. An assault.A rival Alpha or many more dangerous things. Not a child."The child disappeared at one of the seasonal gatherings," said Mara. "Everyone thought he must have wandered off on his own, because children used to do that.""But he never came back." There was silence in the room…"Time went by and Ronan still had not return. Night fell and fear began."I leaned towards her. "What did my father do?" She smiled slightly. "What he always did."That sounded like something that I had heard many times before. "He accepted responsibility."She continued talking as though she had a lot to say…"He created search teams even before anyone knew how bad the problem was."Kieran put

The guard’s words cut deeper than anything else could. "She is gone."I looked at him for a second in disbelief that it took that long for my mind to register it. Emma had been constantly moving around, laughing, making trouble for herself.For such a lively girl to be described with such a word seemed unnatural. I clenched my chest and forced myself to take in a breath, deep and unwilling."What do you mean by she is gone," I asked stepping towards him, more forcefully than intended. "Who was guarding her? When did you last see her? Say it plainly."The guard hesitated, gulped, and said, "She disappeared shortly before the curfew. Her parents believed she was hanging around with other kids but found out that all of them were gone. We searched the surrounding houses, but there is no trace of her."I didn't give myself time to hear another explanation. I sprinted ahead of him towards the center of Greenwood, and my heart beat faster on each stride. Lanterns were lit all over the Pac
