A roaring noise rose over the pack members. They couldn't believe that I dared to do one of the most punishable misdeeds.
I was so shocked that I was rooted to my spot for a few seconds until I came back to reality.“You lied! I wasn't the one seducing him!” I yelled and tried to stand up, but they pushed me back down again.Why would Luna Rose lied? How could she do that to me?!“Dad, please! I swear I didn't seduce him!” I kept pleading with my father to believe me.“Aleena, how could you!” I heard a voice rise from above all others, and I turned my head in the direction of that voice.Greg was holding his mate’s hand and glaring at me with something I had never seen before in his eyes - disappointment.“I’ve always treated you as my sister, and my father’s always treated you like a daughter! How could you do this to us?!” he asked with a raised voice.My heart broke once again at his words. My first love didn't believe me. He was accusing me of something I didn't do.I saw the Alpha stand up from his throne and go to the podium to speak. I looked at him with hope.Maybe he was going to stop all this nonsense!
Maybe he believed me!
But his next words dashed all my hopes away.I thought my father believed me, but he didn't. “I shall deliver the judgment now!” he said as he stood at the podium. “Dad, please. I didn't do any of those. I didn't know I was a rouge! I didn't seduce Beta Erick! You have to believe me!” I kept begging him to believe me, but it was like he didn't hear any of my words. With those two wrongdoings, I could only think of death as the punishment. I couldn't die today! I haven't done anything I want to do! I haven't experienced what I want to experience! I haven't found love! “Aleena, your punishment is..” Alpha Andre started saying. Please, Goddess, I don't want to die.. Please help me! I kept praying to the Moon Goddess. “Banishment!” he announced and I gasped. I looked at the man that until just now I still called ‘Father’. “No, Alpha. You can't banish me! Please don't banish me!” I again pleaded, now with tears on my face. Banishment was worse than death, especially for a she-wolf. Rogue she-wolves were usually raped, and then e
••• Kyson’s POV ••• “How was the prom?” Alpha Colton asked me. “Nothing interesting, but I think our theory is right. He knows who I am.” I shrugged as if it didn't mean a big deal. It wasn't a big deal, though. Great that he knew who I was. “Didn't find your mate?” he asked with eyes twinkling. “You know I won't find my mate.” I rolled my eyes at him. A mate was the last thing I had ever thought about. “I heard there was a judgment at the Black Heart Pack?” he smoothly changed the subject. “Yeah, but the scouts we planted around the vicinity couldn't get too close to know what it was about,” I replied him. “When are we going to strike?” he asked with a mischievous yet evil smirk. “Soon, Alpha. Soon..” I answered and smirked back. The thought of killing that son of a bitch, Alpha Andre would always tickle something in me. I couldn't wait to tear that piece of shit into pieces. “Calm down, Kyson,” I heard Colton’s laughter from beside me. I hadn't realized that my excitement h
••• Kyson’s POV ••• If a doctor couldn't help, then there was only one thing to do.. One person who could help. “Fetch Witch Lily,” I ordered the nurse. “I’m here, Alpha,” I heard a voice from behind me. I turned around and saw Witch Lily already standing in the doorway. “Fix her.” I pointed to the cheekbone that Dr. Gwen couldn't fix. Witch Lily walked to the bed and began chanting. Soon, a yellow light appeared from her hand and around the injured cheek of the still unconscious she-wolf. When the glow diminished and was finally gone, Witch Lily turned to me and said with a smile, “It’s healed, Alpha.” I looked at the girl on the bed and saw her bruised, swollen cheek had returned back to normal, and I nodded to Witch Lily in thanks. I dragged a chair and placed it next to the bed to sit on. Once I sat, I looked at her face. Not only had Witch Lily healed her broken cheekbone, but she also healed all the cuts and bruises on her face. She wasn't as young as I thought, not a l
••• Aleena’s POV ••• I opened my eyes and was confused for a second. Where am I? What happened? I jolted awake when I remembered what had happened. Did they get to force themselves on me? If they did.. The thought made my body shudder. “You are awake,” I heard a pleasant, soft woman’s voice. Turning my head to my side, I saw a hooded woman pushing back her cloak, and my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Next to my bed sat a beautiful woman with fair skin, silver eyes, and hair. A.. WITCH?! There’s another witch besides Luna Rose? “Yes, I’m a witch. My name is Lily,” she said with a smile. My eyes widened even more. She could hear my thoughts? Even Luna Rose couldn't read any minds except if she was searching for specific memories. “No, I couldn't read your mind,” she said, still with a small smile on her face. “Then how do you know..” I wanted to ask her how she knew what I was thinking. “I don't have to read your mind to see the obvious disbelief in your eyes,” she ex
••• Kyson’s POV ••• “So, that’s what you feel when you are around her,” Colton said before downing his drink in one gulp. I spent the morning discussing what our scouts had learned about the Black Heart Pack. There was undoubtedly a judgment and banishment, but we couldn't find out who it was or what it was regarding. And here we were now, after lunch, talking about the girl in lavender. “Maybe she hasn't turned eighteen yet?” he asked. “If she were my mate, I would’ve felt it even if she hasn't turned eighteen yet,” I pointed out. I’m 25 years old now, I would feel the mate-bond even if she couldn't yet. “Are you really going to take her in?” Colton asked. “Night wants it,” I replied casually. “Night?” That damned Colton snickered. I rolled my eyes at him. He knew damned well I was using Night as an excuse. “What if she let you to your demise?” he turned serious. “She might be my salvation, too,” I pointed out. It irked me that he thought of her badly. It seemed like my pro
••• Aleena’s POV ••• I gasped, and my body trembled as we shook hands and our blood connected. I felt as if I was electrocuted, yet strangely there was something pleasant about it. “Aleena Bell, from herein forth, you are officially a member of the Crimson Blood Pack.” I heard him say in his pleasantly deep voice. And I gasped once again as I felt new ties with all the members of the Crimson Blood Packs forming in my mind. My body trembled even further and swayed as all strength seemed to leave me, but a pair of strong hands caught my shoulders before I fell to the floor. Wow, what an intense experience.. “You okay, Aleena?” the man asked through our mind-link, which made me smile. “I’m alright, Alpha,” I replied through the mind-link and looked up at him with a sweet smile. I saw his eyes onyx eyes change to gold, but they switched back to black in an instant. I felt him sniff me, maybe to ensure that now I smelled like one of his pack members. I was about to ask him about hi
••• Kyson’s POV ••• “Kyson, Andre is here,” I heard Liam’s voice through our mindlink. What does he want this early in the morning? “Send him to my study,” I ordered him. “Alright,” he replied. “Has she talked yet?” I asked. Liam had grilled her last night, she should’ve talked by now. “Not yet. She still denied having known about anything. Kyson.. Maybe she’s telling the..” Liam informed me, but I cut him off. “You believed her words?” I snorted, and Liam went silent. A few minutes later, the door to the study opened, and Liam appeared, followed by Andre and his Beta. “Alpha Andre, Beta Erick. To what do we owe this pleasant visit?” I asked as I rose from my seat and went to him. “Good morning, Beta Kyson,” they greeted me politely and took a seat. “We found our pack members torn apart in the forest, and we smelled both you and Beta Kyson’s scents on the scene. May I know what happened?” Andre asked Liam politely. Rage coursed through my body as the scene of that day popped
••• Aleena’s POV ••• My eyes flew open and I jolted awake. What.. The memory of what had happened before came back to my mind and I felt my cheeks heat up. Oh, my Goddess.. Kyson had.. He had touched me in a way no one had! And I had let him do all those things.. I even begged him! Shame washed over me. What’s wrong with you, Aleena?! He’s an enemy! I felt like banging my head on the wall. Stupid Aleena! And why did I get affected by heat? I have no wolf. I shouldn't be able to be affected. Maybe they cast a spell on me or something? I should ask Witch Lily about it. Looking around, I noticed that I wasn't in the dungeon or hospital. It was a huge room, even bigger than my room in Black Heart Pack. The soft color palette made me think that this room was designed to be occupied by a woman. I turned around as I heard the creaking sound of the door being opened, and Witch Lily appeared. My opinion of her changed when she left me alone to be tortured. Maybe all witches were bad, just
