*Angelina's POV*
It had been days since I was in prince Kivvi's residence. Though he never wronged me, I could feel he had no interest in me. My wolf was pained by his coldness. But for me, it didn't affect me much. I knew that he would reject me, and I wish to gladly accept it. However, there was no news of him these days. I wasn't even allowed to meet him. Today was my another attempt to meet him, but the guards turned me away.
I was returning home when I heard some whisper. The familiar back caught me off guard. It was him, Ryan! My body heated up with anger. I hated the fact that he was still living peacefully while harming others' lives. An unexpected voice dazed me.
"Are these all?"
I wouldn't misremember it. It's princess Arianna's voice. Curiosity struck me, I decided to get closer to hear them. Their voices were now clear to me.
"I gathered all the information I could. I am sure these are all. Moon Shadow pack is also preparing for attack…"
I was stunned by what I heard. Did he sell out his pack? For what? Money?
Ryan asked bewitched, "Can we mate tonight?"
Disgust surged over me. He was actually used by his enemy because of his lust? It felt laughable. Knowing that, it would be dangerous to listen more, I was going away. But a part of me wished to use this opportunity to take my revenge on him. I hid my scent and went to a safe distance. My slender fingers made their way to the pockets. I reached out to my phone and started recording.
"Not tonight. I haven't confirmed if the information you gave is true or false. After I have checked it, I will surely reward you."
"Sure. I am certain that the Moon Shadow pack is training warriors to prepare for the war. But right now the situation is too dreadful for them. There is corruption in the court too." Ryan stuttered impatiently.
"I believe you." Arianna gave a seductive smile and left.
I put off the recorder and went away. I knew where to go with this evidence. I hesitated no moment to reach to go to my mate. Though he doesn't see me as my mate, he still is the next Alpha. He will surely take care of this situation.
Again the guards held me back.
"Please return, Miss. The prince is busy." One of the guards said.
"I know he is busy. But what if I have an important matter to discuss with him, which concerns the safety of the pack? Is he too busy to even check the situation out?" I said it loudly, making sure he could hear my words.
"Please don't make it hard for us." He said, showing me to leave the place.
I nodded, and agreed, "Fine, I will leave. Since an important matter can't concern your prince, it's better to not think about it either. It's not even my pack." I turned out to leave.
The voice I have been looking forward to hearing, stopped me, "You can come in. But if you were fooling around, be prepared to get punished." I nodded and followed him.
"What do you wish to say?" He asked making himself comfortable in the chair. I sat down and placed the recorder in front of him.
"This can help you." He took the recorder placed on the table and turned it on suspiciously.
His eyes widened and his nose flared. He glanced at me and asked, "Where did you get this?"
"I was going back when I caught this. They were being suspicious so, I followed them. I didn't expect him to give out the pack's information to the enemies. So, I decided to record it."
"Who was the person he sold the information to?"
"As you could see, she had covered herself up so, I couldn't find the one who sold the information to."
His investigation process was tiresome. Why did I go there? What does the woman look like? What reason did he sell the pack for? It was difficult to answer all of his questions. Lastly, when I thought his questions were finished, he surprised me with another question.
"Why are you helping me? What do you want?"
I had no answers for it. I couldn't say who I am and my reason for helping him. I lied, "I don't know, why I am helping you. I just thought that he was bad-tempered and should be punished. As a reward, I don't need anything. Just don't ignore me."
He nodded, and said, "I will check it out if it's true or not."
He took my phone and escorted me out.
Some days later, the entire pack learned about him betraying the pack. Kivvi took the opportunity and handed the evidence, leaving the record over to the Alpha. Ryan, being a traitor, was thrown out of the pack, and became a rogue.
However, no one knew to whom the news was sold to. Though they suspected Arianna, without evidence, they couldn't disgrace her. I was a witness, but I had no wish to attack her. She wasn't my enemy so there was no need for me to make another enemy.
I was sipping my afternoon coffee when I thought about the current situation. Suddenly, I felt sleepy.
I put my head up slowly and opened my eyes. I was in a cave. The cave which brought me my darkest memories. This was the cave which turned my life upside down.
"You are awake…" I glanced over, finding the familiar voice. It was Ryan!
"You couldn't be silent, huh? Only if you didn't open your mouth, no one would find out about this! I wouldn't be thrown out of the pack!" I was caught off guard. How did he find out I was the one who told him off?
My eyes glanced at the handkerchief in Ryan's hand. It was mine!
He put up the handkerchief and swung it. "Does this feel similar?"
I smiled and got up from my place. I wasn't the weak wolf they disgraced before. I was strong enough to fight them now.
"I am going to kill you for what you have done to me!" He growled in rage. My laughter filled the cave. He twitched his brows and looked at me.
"You can't kill me now. You know, I am not the same wolf you disgraced before. I am far stronger than before. In this cave, you four raped me and tried to kill me. What a pity, you will be the one dying at this cave!"
He was puzzled by my words, and I could guess that all these years, I wasn't their only victim.
"Five years ago, I was going to meet my mate, when you raped me, killed my mate. Do you remember I said I would be back? I am here now, to haunt you!"
I felt a knife swing in front of me. I was too late to dodge. I fell down with a sudden push from my back, it saved me. I looked back to check who it was.
"You should be careful! Don't be too engrossed that you forget your surroundings." Stella lectured.
Ryan shifted to a wolf and jumped at us. We dodged and were looking for an opportunity to kill him. When we found his strength draining out, we took the opportunity to kill him.
Stella hugged me, "Good that you are safe. You scared this sister of yours!"
I hugged her back and patted her back. It had been a long time since I was in my sister's embrace.

*Kivvi's POV* I was strangely furious when I found my mate nowhere to be seen. I went to thank her for her help, but she wasn't in her room. I waited for her for over an hour and even called her. The call wasn't getting through to her. I was worried if something happened to her so, I asked my men to check it out. Unexpectedly, the investigation showed my mate was abducted. I had an urge to break the kidnapper's neck. My wolf was getting restless without my mate being near me. What if something happens to her? She wasn't strong enough to protect herself. Who abducted her? Was it the enemy? Did she think that my mate is a threat so she abducted her? I knew that the familiar figure on the record was Arianna. Even if I can't draw a conclusion with this, it's still suspicious. Especially, it's hard to cross our borders but it would be easy if it's our guest. Ryan wouldn't be bought with money. He had enough. So, it should be a deal that he would love and can't get with money alone. He
Angelina wondered why the Alpha treated everyone better but not his own son. Wasn't a father supposed to love his child unconditionally? Then why was Kivvi's case different? The woods were a quiet place to be and that's why Angelina liked visiting there; to calm her brain down from all the thinking. One thing she liked more about the woods was the end of the woods which was home to a beautiful lake. She loved taking quick showers after her run at that lake and at night, the lake was most beautiful but now, she was going there just to clear her head and not to run. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice a tree trunk in front of her and before she could realize it, she was already tripping against it and falling headfirst into another tree. "Damn!" Angelina cussed out loud. The pain in her head was making her head throb and the more she massaged the affected parts, the more she felt intense pain. She hissed as she got up from the ground, dusting the dirt
Angelina quickly ran out of the place so that she wouldn't expose herself. her heart was in pain. The person who should be by her side, helping her could actually turn out to be the one of the person who harmed her the most! Sadness engulfed her, and her chest was tightening. She couldn't believe that all his gentle exterior turned out to be fake! She thought of him as a sharp tongued but a soft-hearted gentle person. However, it turned out that he had a gullible tongue all along, with a vile heart. More than the feelings of sadness, she was feeling a sense of betrayal and anger. Her face was red, and her heart beat faster every second. For a moment, she was at a loss about what to do with him now. Should she pay him back for his deeds or should she let go of him and leave him for forever? She had no idea. But when she remembered the pain she faced, and the other girls who were raped faced, all the hesitation seemed like a joke. He is also an accomplice if he hid her and other girl
Jessica was in disbelief that she was only gone for some months, and Kivvi had already found his mate. She doesn't believe that they would be on lovely terms, but Kivvi was only her's, in her mind. No one else could take him away from her. And she is just a slave, with no good background. Whereas, she is the Beta's daughter! She could help him when he requires any help! However, she could only be a burden to him! How is she eligible to be his mate? She believed that Kivvi would soon reject her, and make her his mate! If it wasn't because of this sudden news, she wouldn't have to rush back here so soon! As soon as Jessica reached, she met Kivvi by the side. It seemed, even destiny favored her to be with him. Why wouldn't it? They are after all childhood sweethearts. "Kivvi!" Jessica ran towards him and engulfed him in a hug. He looked at her from the corner of his eyes. Every time she sees him, he looked more handsome than before. How could she let her grasp off such a seductive ma
These days, Angelina heard quite many rumors about her mate's betrayal. It was that Kivvi's childhood sweetheart had been back, and now they are back together. And originally how Angelina was the third party, and she broke them apart. All these rumours started by one person, Jessica. She wished everyone to know that she has her eyes on Kivvi, and no one can take him away from her! Well, there were a lot of rumors about Angelina's husband's affair, that she was sickened by it. She wondered what had happened, for there to be ocean of rumours, but she pretended not to care. Whom he cheated with, wasn't her concern. However, her mind was in a mess with all of them blabbering the same nonsense behind her ears every day. She couldn't understand them at all. What was the reason for them to blabber the same century-old rumours again and again? On the other hand, some wolves would pity her, some would try to make her feel embarrassed, angry, and sad. But all of these felt dumb for her. Why a
Kivvi was passing by, when he noticed Jessica's wounds on her face. He couldn't help but ask, as her childhood friend, he still cared a bit about her after all "What had happened to you? Are you okay? Who could beat you?" "It was done by Angelina! She even dare to hurt my face!" Jessica exclaimed, in anger. "She attacked me although I didn't even do anything to her! Believe me! She is just pre-" Kivvi didn't wait for her to complete what she was going to say, but immediately grasped her shirt and yelled, "Don't you dare come near Angelina! Or, else I will be the one to take your life," Kivvi threatened, warning her to remain out of Angelina's way. After warning Jessica, he pushed her aside and proceeded into the kitchen, to check Angelina up. Kivvi hoped that she was okay, and not hurt at all. However, as he came inside, Angelina glanced at him and his eyes fell on the red bruise on her cheek. "What happened to you? Are you okay?" Kivvi yelled furiously as he approached Angelina to
Their plan has worked, according to their wishes. The pack leader sent Stella, Mike, Kivvi, and Angelina as a diplomat to invite Stella's father to the Alpha Ceremony. 'The death of Mike would be an awesome way to start their alpha ceremony! I hope they like the gift we are going to give them.' Stella thought to herself. They soon set out for their pack without wasting another moment. They didn't have much time to delay, and Stella and Angelina couldn't wait to kill Mike and Kivvi. Hopefully, Angelina felt the same disgust for Kivvi, as her words meant. Stella understood that it was not easy for her to find that her mate was such a ruthless person; however, she truly did wish for her happiness and she knew that such a person like Kivvi would only bring her harm. And she would never tolerate that! Soon after, eliminating Mike from this game, they have to get Jasper's and Kivvi's heads. Except for the thought of revenge, another thought was roaming inside Stella's head. 'What woul
While Mike's dead body was taken back to the pack, everyone came to look at the scene where Mike's body was found and they were all surprised and devastated on seeing Mike's lifeless body on the ground. Kivvi could hear everyone whispering about who had really killed Mike and what was the reason behind him getting killed since he had never made any powerful enemies. "Who might have killed him?" "This is so scary" "We must avenge him!" When they all found out about the dead body of Mike, everyone was so shocked about it and especially Jasper whose face turned pale after watching Mike's lifeless body on the ground. As Kivvi looked around the scene, he felt that something was really off, about Jasper's two best friends' death. But he couldn't figure out what these ominous feelings were. "So do you have any idea about who killed Mike?" Someone asked. Kivvi just shook his head as a reply and put his two hands in his pocket and lied. "I don't really know for sure." He really didn't w
