Charia's Pov__________When his eyes met mine, I took a step back, my instincts screaming at me to run. But then the wolf did something unexpected. He looked away, back at his meal. He didn't seem to care about me at all but I still whimpered at the sight.I could not believe who I was seeing and why he was a wild wolf. I immediately recalled he was not of this town, but I couldn't quite place why any of the Red Moon Pack would not know that he was a wild wolf. I have never met one but I heard of wild wolves a lot. We feared them and only the Alpha's of a pack were sent on mission to kill them.I wanted to leave and stop staring at Delphi's mate eat another Red Moon Pack member, I wanted to go and say it was none of my business, but I couldn't. That was my sister's mate. He was dangerous. He was dangerous to the pack and to my family.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I realized that I had almost crossed the border line of Red Moon Pack, and that was not something to
Charia's Pov___________Ryder took me back to the pack tent gently. He didnt want me to bother about my father's words. He just wanted me to enjoy my first transformation like we had planned.The howling continued for several long moments before slowly dying down, and I watched as the wolves began to shift back into their human forms. They were sweaty and panting, their bodies trembling with the exertion of the transformation, but their eyes were bright with pride and satisfaction.Alpha Ryder stepped forward, his eyes locking onto mine. "Welcome to our pack," he said, his voice deep and commanding. "May the full moon guide you and strengthen you as you walk with us."I suddenly switched back to my normal self. It was involuntary but I knew with more practice I would do better. I saw a smile on Ryder's face. He was delighted just as I was.I felt a surge of emotion at his words, and I knew that I had found my true family. As the wolves began to disperse, I followed Ryder back into th
Charia's Pov ________ I stood in front of the mirror, nervously adjusting my dress. Ryder stood behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist as he placed a soft kiss on my neck. We were going for a very important visitation today, which had something to do with the threats Alpha Lugard said yesterday. Ryder had assured me all will be okay, but I was still scared because he took the matter very serious . Crossing territory and killing a pack member was a grave offence and we have been charged with something like that and I knew it bothered Ryder even if he didn't want to say it. I tried making a conversation about it, but he wouldn't let me discuss it. I could remember vividly how he fiercly saved me from Delphi's mate and I blame myself for putting him in such a spot. Maybe, if I hadn't run towards the forest or the border, we wouldn't have this problem. "You look absolutely beautiful, my Luna," he said, his voice filled with admiration. I blushed, feeling the heat rising to m
Melissa's Pov________When Charia and Alpha Ryder arrived from the meeting yesterday, I asked Charia about the outcome because I feared a huge argument would ensue but she said it wasn't productive and they hardly discussed anything. They were told to wait till the result of the investigated wolf body gets out.I asked Charia, how she felt about sitting at the same table with her father and mate in this tough situation but she wouldn't give me any hint about what was wrong or sit down and talk to me like before. I understood there was a lot of stress and responsibilities on her now.I walked with Peter after I finished attending to Charia in her room. Things were a bit tough at the pack mansion and Alpha Ryder had not said a word to Charia since the lawyer visited with the result today. I understood the situation of things and only I and Charia who had lived with Alpha Lugard knew the gravity of his hate towards another pack. I felt pity for Charia at this tough moment."What do you t
Charia's Pov________My heart was heavy, my spirit was down. I had never felt so worse. The result of the test done on the wolf's body was sent to us this morning and it was confirmed that it was killed by a werewolf, not a wild wolf, and Alpha Ryder's handprint was somehow found there. I knew that was not possible because, Ryder never touched the dead wolf, he only touched Delphi's mate when he threw him across the border.How they got their way in probing such a ridiculous lie was what marveled me. Anyone would do anything to destroy their enemies and this was the perfect example. I knew only Delphi's mate could frame such a lie on the report, but I was confused about how he got his hands on such an important document. It could be that Delphi or Lugard pertained to it or he did it behind their back. I knew this family hated me, so it wasn't wrong of me to think about their involvement in this.Now if Alpha Lugard allowed the result to be tampered with, he has gone extreme and would
"I swear I can prove it," I said to Delphi."I won't give room for your nonsense, leave this instant!" She shouted. I knew anyone will be angered by my accusation, but I needed Delphi to listen to me and hear the truth!"I know we were never close or we hardly talked, but I wouldn't lie to you Delphi. I have no reason to""You have a reason to. After all, you want to save your mate and destroy mine""Give me the benefit of the doubt Delphi. Dwight almost attacked me that night. I could say this to his face too. I am certain he has something to do with the results being changed""No results were changed, your mate, Alpha Ryder killed our pack member and he's going to go down for his crimes!""I would prove this to you Delphi. Just give me a chance. If I am wrong then you can go on with the punishment" I begged. Her face seemed unsettled. I understood if she didn't want to believe me, we had a tough spot and I would probably not believe her too if I were in her shoes."Two days." She sa
Charia's Pov________I sneaked out of the house the next morning without Ryder's awareness. Peter went with me cause he was the only one who was aware of what was going on and I had no choice but to bring him along, he was going to drive me anyway.I made a plan with Delphi, which should go well if she played along with everything I asked her to do. If the plan goes perfectly well, I am certain Ryder would be so glad I got involved.A date invite was sent to Dwight and he was asked to meet Delphi at a hotel. When he gets there, Delphi would call that she might be late, but he should be there waiting for her. Then I would go there instead.Since I was a new wolf that had just shifted, my blood was still new and it attracted wild wolves a lot. If I could lure Dwight with my blood scent, he should be ready to turn into the beast that he is. I had an audio recorder with me, Peter is going to video record the scene and Delphi is going to watch too and she would see for herself who her mate
Alpha Ryder's Pov________Restlessness. Turmoil. Uneasiness. After being in the room with some lawyers discussing the next way to prove my innocence. Charia walked up to me and randomly said she was taking a stroll which I allowed without asking where she was going.But now that I was done with my conversation, I had still not seen her. Peter wasn't around also and the car wasn't parked in the compound. I had tried each of their numbers too and no one was picking up. Also searched the whole house.My body wasn't at ease not seeing Charia home, especially when everything wasn't going smoothly with us and the pack.I walked over to Melissa. "Where's Charia?" I asked her."Erhmm." She stood up from where she sat. "Good day Alpha Ryder" she greeted and I nodded. "Charia didn't tell me where she was going""But she left with Peter, right? Did Peter tell you anything about it?""No. But I think…" she hesitated to talk."What?""I think she went to meet Delphi at Alpha Lugards place""What
