Stephan's POVIt was finally the day I planned to infiltrate the pack. I carefully selected twelve men; they were good but not the best in the pack. They took extra clothes and some essential things needed, including masks. The idea was to keep their identity hidden. I helped them cover up their scent so that they wouldn't be easily discovered. I wanted to go with them at first but decided to use the opportunity to visit other pack alphas. Clarissa wanted to join them, but I was against it, the reason being that I was worried that she might not be able to fight well and keep herself safe, and I was too far away. When they are ready, they set out for the quest. I sent my gamma William to go with them so that he could orchestrate everything since I put him in charge with the condition that he would report everything back to me. Once they were gone, I ordered Liam to watch her and make sure that she was safe. I felt that it was better to trust the old devil you know than to t
Stephan's POV"What do you mean by defeating the shadow pack and the moonlight pack? I thought we were fighting against the rogues," he asked me."The rogues are Alpha William's men.""He is the one that uses them to wreak havoc in other people's packs.""You heard stories of how they attacked other packs, killing their innocents and taking over; they did it to my pack in the past.""They did it to you too.""The earlier we stop them, the better for us.""Stephan, I am a very peaceful person, and my allegiance is to you alone, but you know I won't just wake up one morning and plunge my pack into a war against another pack.""There has to be a reason for that before I could do it.""You used to send me men; if I needed them, Tyler, what changed?" I asked him."I am a father, and I am getting old.""I need to protect my child's innocence, Stephan.""You won't be protecting it if they get to her.""Don't you get it? As long as those two people are the alpha, issues will always come
Stephan's POV When I came back in the evening, four men were sitting outside waiting for me; one of them was my gamma, William.Their bodies were covered with blood, and their clothes were torn into shreds.There was no injury to them; they must have healed."Alpha," they said, bowing to me immediately when they saw me."We were waiting for you to come back," William said to me."Well, I am back now. What happened?" I asked without mentioning anyone's name in particular."The mission you sent us on was a total failure, he continued."We were not able to find out the location you wanted."I inhale deeply."Where are the others?" I asked.He shook his head as if he were in pain because of something he remembered."They did not make it, Alpha Stephan."I was shocked, and I felt a cold chill run down my spine."What happened to them? How did it happen?" I asked Will.He started narrating what happened."Alpha William is very cunning; when we arrived in his pack, we masked our scent, an
Cali's POV. My memory is foggy; I can't remember who my parents are or how I came to this place. I think I am either sixteen or seventeen, but I was told by Alpha William that I was seventeen years old.My name is Cali, and that is all I remember; I don't know if I have any other name or not.I have been locked up in this cage for years now; I don't know how many years.The place is crowded with thousands of people; I don't know the exact number, but I know that there are many.I am the youngest in this place and probably the best at fighting, except for my instructor. My memory started with me waking up on a cold, hard floor and waiting for what would happen to me next.I was placed in a room by myself, while others were packed into their little rooms that they had to share. Whenever we are freed from our cage, I always find those men staring at me with hatred in their eyes.I think they hate me because of the special treatment I get for Alpha William.We were served food
Cali's POV As I lay on the floor, I wanted to see more of the woman's facial appearance.She had brown hair with blue eyes, just like me.She is a very beautiful woman with a slim build, and she is also small in height. I wonder how old she is."What is going on, Bec? Why did you fall on me?""Nothing; I just slipped and fell. I am sorry, Cali," he said to me."You are lying, Bec; you were trying to shield me from seeing someone, a woman.""What woman?""The short woman with the brown hair and blue eyes that just passed now.""You were trying to hide from her and also cover me from seeing her," I told him."Who is she, Bec?" I asked him."I don't know; I have never seen her before," he said to me."Why are you lying to me, Bec? You are hiding something from me." I screamed at him, drawing people's attention to us."Calm down, Cali; quit drawing attention to us; remember, we agreed not to do that.""You promised Alpha William that you wouldn't create a scene, that we would just c
Clarissa's POV I came back to Moonlight Pack after we visited that witch, Ashley.It has been two days since I came back to Moonlight Pack.We visited the Darkmoon Pack just like we wanted.Stephan wanted to table down his request to her father so that he could fulfill the promise he made to him.He wanted their support for the war that was brewing."Alpha Raymond, you said that you would let go of anything if I could forgive your daughter for ruining our vacation, Stephan said to him.""I know that I promised you that Stephan, I will keep it," Alpha Raymond said to us before he proceeded to serve us. After we had eaten and drunk, Stephan proceeded to tell him his plan. Alpha Raymond was not in support of his ideology but had to give in because he had already made a promise.We were sent away with the promise that when the time comes and we request help, he will be more than willing to help.Since we had settled that issue, we needed to tackle the remaining issue at hand.Stephan a
Cali's POVI woke up late the next day. I heard that there was no combat today because our alpha is going to be very busy.So instead of waking up like everyone else, I woke up late.I was not interested in anything we were doing for now; I was tired and restless after I heard them."Cali, you should come out and train, Bec called me."According to my boss, he said that it is necessary."I was pissed that he pretended like everything was okay; I hated that."Because when am I going to face Clarissa like Alpha William wanted?" I asked him."As soon as everything is ready.""I have been training for years; I am sure you understand why I am restless.""Yes, I do; you are getting tired of everything.""I have an idea: why don't you convince Alpha William to let you stay with him? That way, you will be close to your enemy."He was right; I wanted so badly to be in her presence.She won't know who I am; that way, I will be able to monitor her movement and know the best way to get rid o
Cali's POV."Cali, what laboratory were you talking about?" she asked me."Did I say lab? I meant far.""I heard what you said, Cali; stop lying to me.""Don't talk to me like that, Clarissa; you are not mom, and you don't have a say or control over me."I noticed her expression changed. I wanted to apologize quickly, but I refused to. I was being stubborn.I was indeed truly sorry to her, but why should I be the one to initiate the apology?"You are right, Cali. I am not your mother. Why should I tell you what to do?" she said in a little voice like she was about to cry.She turned to leave."Wait, Clarissa, I am sorry that I was rude to you; I should not have said that," I apologized."Please don't cry," I told her.I don't know why the idea of anyone crying because of me brought tears to my eyes too.I hugged her, inhaling her scent.She smelled like vanilla and another one that I don't know yet.I felt warm being in her arms.Before we could separate, I was thrown on the floor
