DEMONTES' POVIt was not everyday that the Alpha of one of the most respected packs in the world got kidnapped by a sixteen year old.I could see the looks of uncertainty in the eyes of the guards as the boy dragged me into the dark alley and I barely smiled in a bid to ease their nerves.I could have snapped his neck without him even knowing what was happening if I wanted to, but for some reason, I didn't. I wanted to hear him out. I wanted to know what he had to say.Under the cover of darkness, he led me on, making sure to keep the sharp blade close to my neck to dissuade any attempt of running away from my mind.We had covered a great distance in the alley and I was getting bored playing the abduction game with him, so I broke free from his grip."Who are you and what do you want from me?" I growled.The only light in the alley was the one coming from my glowing red eyes and even in the darkness, he didn't back away."Don't bother running," I warned. "I would tear you apart faster
DEMONTES' POVThe pack square was filled to the brim with werewolves of the pack waiting to hear my announcement.As I walked in, I caught sight of my chief guard, Diego, with two other guards. They were having an intense conversation and immediately they saw me, they ended their little meeting. Diego grunted some inaudible commands at them and they nodded and started off, while he walked up to me."Alpha Demontes," He said and bowed slightly.I nodded in acknowledgement of his greeting and led him away from the watchful eyes of the rest of the pack. Once we were out of hearing distance, I asked him the question that had been bothering me for a long time."Any news about my daughter yet?" Diego heaved a deep breath before shaking his head in the negative. "My men have not yet been able to pick up her scent," He replied. "She must have gone very far." I gritted my teeth, annoyed by the news and Diego waited on for my next command."How did you let this happen?" I asked, taking him b
DEMONTES' POVI stared at the witch as her words resounded over and over again in my ears."I know where your daughter is..."She had to be joking. And the very fact that she still had time for jokes when I was in such a critical situation irked me. Why was she being so difficult?I ignored her and started walking away from the pack square but she held me back and dragged me closer to herself."I said I know where Antonella is!" She repeated.This time, she didn't sound like she was joking. Her voice was cool, yet unsettling. Her eyes burned bright as they stared into mine and something within me told me that she actually meant the words she said this time."Freya," I started. "We do not have the time to keep going back and forth. You know how crucial times are now, especially after I have plundered other packs. My daughter would be in a lot of trouble if some other Alpha gets to her so if you know anything, please tell me now.""That is what I have been trying to tell you all along,"
12 HOURS EARLIER...SALVADOR'S POVMartinez didn't seem to be happy about my plan to send a letter to the rogues and the frown on his face said it."You have a problem with my decision?" I asked."Not at all," He muttered and turned around, ready to leave."So I thought." I nodded and dismissed him at once and he walked out while my Beta, Dan strolled in.He stared at the piece of paper on the table before me and our eyes met briefly."I've decided to call a meeting with all the Alphas in the West," I explained to him. "I'm drafting the letters I want to send them now.""A meeting?" He stared at me. "Why are we calling a meeting with them?""I want everyone to be present," I replied, standing up. "I want all the Alphas in the West to be present when I kill the bastard.""The bastard?" Dan stared at me. "Who are we killing this time, my Alpha? Fill me in on what I've missed."I frowned at his ignorance of the situation."Alpha Demontes of course," I grunted finally. "He would be at the
12 HOURS EARLIER (CONTINUED...)SALVADOR'S POVAntonella's sad eyes bored into mine and as much as I wanted to growl at her for eavesdropping on our conversation, I knew that I couldn't. She had heard all that we said and now she knew that I was planning to use her as a bait for her father."Alpha Xavier," she smiled at me. "I know you want to have a meeting with my father and you're banking on me to remain here when he offers to take me back home."She paused for a minute and glanced across at Dan who now stood beside me, a frown creased on his face."And I also know that your Beta does not like or trust me," she continued. "I don't expect him to. I don't expect you to as well. My father has done a lot of evil all over the West and I know he has gathered many enemies."Dan smiled and nodded at her. "It's a good thing you realize how evil the blood that flows through your veins is."Antonella paused for a moment and walked up to Dan slowly. She stopped right in front of him."Only one
DEMONTES’ POVAll the way to the Silver Moon Pack, I barely said a word to Freya. My mind was racing and my thoughts were scattered as I considered the possibility of what she had said. What if it was actually true? What if Salvador had survived the jump from the window that day? After all, his body was never found. As quickly as the thought entered my head, I drove it out. I couldn’t bring myself to think about such a thing at a critical moment like that. It was not possible in any way. An eight year old would never survive such a jump. Salvador and the rest of his family were surely dead. They had died a long time ago. What I needed to find out now was who the bastard Alpha Xavier was, and what business he had with my only daughter, Antonella.I dared to imagine the many things he could have done to her and my heart skipped a few beats. I knew what I had done to the daughters of the Alphas of other packs that I had plundered. What if the same was being done to mine at that exact mo
DEMONTES POVAs I walked through the open doors of the hall, the Beta's words resounded in my ears. All of a sudden, I felt unsafe in the Silver Moon Pack. How stupid had I been to think that I could enter the same place where I had committed the most heinous crime in history and walk out alive? Freya held unto my hand as we walked in. She had always been a possessive woman and I knew that very well. I stared across at her and she smiled at me. Her smile brought a certain calm to my heart. With her beside me, their threats didn't mean anything. She could take on every single one of them.We walked into the hall and immediately, we were greeted by the gazes of the guards that lined the walls. They parted the way for us to pass immediately and Freya's face lit up with a familiar smile. She loved it when she was the center of attraction, when she was treated with reverence.A man appeared from behind the door and tapped me roughly by the shoulders. I turned around to meet his ice cold
ANTONELLA'S POVPrior to my entry into the hall, was heart was beating fast in my chest. What if something went wrong? What if my father, or his evil girlfriend, Freya did something and somehow managed to leave the Silver Moon Pack with me? The thought of going back with him messed with my head. I couldn't imagine all the terrible things he would say to me...how he was disappointed to have a daughter like me for being bold enough to run away from his pack. At the last minute, I almost backed out of the plan. I almost told Alpha Xavier that I was not going to show up anymore, but I knew that telling him that would not be helping myself. He would probably think that I have now sided with my father or something. I knew I had to be brave.But when I walked through the open doors and caught sight of my father and Freya, I lost all the courage I had gathered at once. If not that Alpha Xavier walked up to me and held me in a tight embrace, I would have turned around and ran out of my father
