Venus's POV "I am Andrea. And I was the Gamma's daughter of The Silver Soil pack," the girl says and I raise my eyebrows at her. This sounds crazy. But looking at her, I would believe so. So I just nodded at her, asking her to continue what she was saying. But she shoves another spoonful of porridge into her mouth instead. I wait for her to finish while raiding through my memory on who the current Alpha of The Silver Soil pack is. "Then what made you a Rogue?" I ask her and she eats all her porridge first before answering. "It's been four days since I last had anything. So I just had to eat," she says and somehow she is even more relaxed now. She sounds so. I just nod at her and watch her try to sit. But her legs are still tied and she is on her knees. She looked at me with expectant eyes but I did not make a move to untie her legs. I might be kind but not stupid. I raise my eyebrow at her now, hoping she would finally start to talk. And thankfully, she does. "My Alpha kicked
Edna's POV"Who are Shawn and Ezekiel?" I ask Dorian as he accompanies me walking towards the pack house. They arrived just when Alonso and I were about to come to the prison to see what Dorian mindlinked about. But I didn't expect to see a Rogue who killed herself though. "The Alpha and The Beta of The Sacred River Pack. And both Alpha King and Venus are good friends with them since they are of about the same age. Usually all other Alphas are older than this group so-" "Then why are they here instead of being in their pack?" I cut him off and I am aware of it. He just talks a lot. My brother would be delighted that someone like him is here. Because even Cole wouldn't stop talking. But then again, I remember how Dorian tried to injure my brother during a friendly fight two days ago. The day I was supposed to receive my first training session. I didn't go there again. That is just not my cup of tea. "They come here every year to submit their pack report submission to the Alpha King
Venus's POVI stay back, and give Alonso a glance but he is firm on his decision. So I just stand there awkwardly and watch everyone else leave with a question mark on their faces. If I left with them, then the word would spread that I was defying Alpha's orders. Alonso put me in a tough situation but I stayed back not because he asked, but because I am curious what Edna is going to do. I look at Edna only to find her eyes already on me. I raise my eyebrow at her but she is still just staring at me. With no expression. That's when I wonder what might be going on in her mind exactly. She doesn't really look pleased to know that Ezekiel is her mate. So that also brings the question.. will she be happy if it's anyone else? "What is happening? How is she your fiance, Alpha King?" Ezekiel asks Alonso and Alonso just tips his head towards the couch. Edna took the couch first so I took the single seater sofa instead. Ezekiel claimed the space beside her and Alonso dragged himself a chair.
Venus's POV"Well, then you should make it public soon" I tell Dorian as we both walk to the training grounds. I just caught Dorian and Cole in one of their makeout sessions. It's alright that it was me who walked in. But what if it's someone else? "You know that can't happen especially with the drama now with Beta Ezekiel and Edna. Cole says it's bad timing," Dorian says which actually makes sense so I can't say anything as well. I hate how our both lives are interlinked at this point. Bad timing to my life is also bad timing to his. But at least he told me who his mate is and yet, I am the one keeping secrets. My eyes fall on Edna who is already there at training grounds in the usual training attire. She is slowly feeling comfortable in them. I still have no idea why she wasn't trained even though she's an Alpha's kid. I asked Alonso the same the other day and he said that John Adams was a man of old habits. According to him only the men are supposed to rule the packs. Accordin
Alonso's POV The smell of coffee woke me up. As it does every single morning. The guards and maids are so afraid to disturb my sleep, that they never utter a single sound. I wonder how a maid somehow sneaks in to put my morning coffee on the table without making a noise. I sit up on my bed and stretch my muscles once before grabbing the coffee mug, walking towards the window. It is all Blue Moon Pack, for as far as I can see. Some people prefer calling it the capital pack. I was nineteen when my father passed the crown to me. And it had been four years since that happened. I take a sip of my coffee, taking in the beauty of the Royal garden. My mother's special roses are in bloom at the moment. These roses were gifted by a witch when I was probably four years old. I have a faint memory of chaos, and it was my father who saved the werewolf race from it. That's when my pack's witch Monica, offered these roses to my mother. As a token of appreciation. A knock on the door makes me sta
Venus's POVAlonso had been acting really strange these days. Sometimes he stares at me and zones out as if I am hypnotizing him. And if someone saw us together where he zones out, they might actually think that I hypnotized him even. "Venus! Catch!!" I heard Dorian's voice before turning around and by the time I acted on my reflex, the fur ball slapped my face making me groan. "Dorian! What the fuck!!!" I groan again, touching my nose ever so carefully in hopes that it is still intact. And thankfully, it is! "You are okay, drama queen! Jeez," he says again and grabs the giant ball of yarn. It didn't do any damage to my nose but like Dorian just said, I love being dramatic. Why would anyone want to be boring when they can be dramatic? "What is that for?" I ask him, pointing at the yarn in his hands. "The ladies asked me to get this. A decoration for lamps or something like that they said," he says and adds,"I guess" His brown hair is dancing along with the wind. He really needs
Alonso's POV Venus's moan is barely audible as I move my lips against hers. Ever since she had her first shift and recognised me as her mate, we absolutely cannot keep our hands off each other. Every chance we get, we are kissing and making out. But we are still keeping this a secret. Because in a few minutes, she is going to become the Beta of the capital pack. And we are planning to announce it to everyone then. There is a knock on the door and we know it's Dorian. Because we both put Dorian there to knock when someone is close or wants to come in. Venus and I stand a little distant, quickly ran our hands over our outfits and messy hair to look presentable. And then we appeared as if we were talking about something. "It's time for the Moon Festival you guys,!" Venus's mom walks in and gives us a stern look. We both nod and agree to follow her because it's also time for Venus's Beta ceremony. The crowd is already partying and everything is so put together. Usually the capital p
Alonso's POVThe entire crowd is still cheering as I get down the stage, moving towards Venus. This is a misunderstanding that I want to talk to her about. But my father's hand grabbing me by my shoulder stopped me from doing so. I guess he saw the anger in my eyes, because he stepped behind and pulled his hand away from my shoulder. I turn around to find Venus gone. "You should have asked me," I whisper, turning towards my father again and this time, he just holds my hand and takes me away from the crowd. We are walking towards the pack house in silence now. I can't catch a sniff of Venus's scent here. I guess she ran off in the other direction. I should have chased her, but I guess I should at least know what made my father do this. So I can explain to him that this is bullshit. And then go get Venus. "Are you really going to be this silent? Because back there you were making real loud noise, father" I say in a tone that came out harsher than intended. As if I care at this poin
