Harlow's PovI stood outside the window, observing the shadows I saw in the darkness.That person actually came out of the pack house, but what I don't know is who the person could be.Blair?No, that definition can't be Blair.Who on earth could it be?“What's wrong?” I heard the voices of Marc and I swerved around to face him.“Nothing.” I replied as I simply did not want him to stress over anything.“Don't tell me anything when you're so engrossed in what you're seeing.” He brushed my neck with his lips and kissed me slightly. That alone sent shivers down my spine.“Whatever you see outside, you don't have to bother about me, as I have everything under control.” Marc knows about the people in the woods by this time of the day, so technically he knows the person who left the pack house.“Do we have a mole In the pack?” That was the only thought that came to my head, aside from what else.“Yes, who does have a mole?” He responded, and his face turned dark.“Who is it?” I asked him d
Harlow's PovHow the hell could this new rival named Vixen be?Okay, he wants to take over the Green Oak pack but why? Things aren't clear, and I felt a headache coming.It appears that the more I try to figure out what is happening, the more my head spins.This trouble is too much for Marc to handle, and thank goodness that Alaric is here to support him.Turning around, I left them in a bid to meet Jade in her room and maybe discuss this with her.In no time, I was already at Jade's room. I knocked lightly, and the door creaked open.“I knew you would come.” Jade started and opened the door for me.“ I thought you'd be asleep now. “ I sat on her armchair while she sat across from me.“ Who sleeps when evil is lurking around? “ She scoffed. It then dawned on me that she's aware of what is happening right now.“ I'm scared....." She stated and that instant, goosebumps washed all over me.“ Who wouldn't be scared? What if Marc fails?” I asked if I'm doubts.“ He can't fail, he's got a l
Blair's PovWhat wrong did I do?What have I committed?What if I'm the first target to die for what I did to jade? What if Marc finds out that's the reason?Damn!I'm doomed!I hated the fact that I had to sit with these ladies and was discussing my safety with them.I really do not care about anyone but honestly, I live Marc and would go any length to protect him.Now about this Vixen Guy, or should I firstly talk about Irene?I mean, she's the big fish here, and she totally forgot that we could end her at any time.All those aside… Harlow had really changed.Her skin looks brighter, and her emotions change a lot.I'd do a proper check on her later.Okay, Vixens wants to take over the Green Oak pack but why? Oh, damn!I guess it's because of the sacred staff!By right, Marc isn't supposed to be with it.“*You're the reason Marc is suffering, you don't love him but rather you're destroying him*” Where did that come from?I looked around Jade's room, but no other person was there ap
Harlow's Pov“We can't do any of what we just said! It's lame, childish, and Irene can never fall for our ideas.” I confirmed.Irene is smart, and she's a crook, so I don't think she would fall for our rubbish trap. But, Blair… She's talking about committing murder.“And, Blair, you do know you can't kill anyone, right? It's going to be a very heated war the moment Irene dies, and every finger would point at you.” I explained, and a thought came to my head. “Why would you even think of killing her? “ I blurted out my thoughts, and she blinked at me confused at what answer to give.“ Harlow, I'm the first Luna, and you're not telling me what to say or do! “ Blair replied darkly.Here she goes again!Who's dragging the first Luna with her?“ This isn't about being the first Luna or not. Truth be told, your heart is really poisoned, that's why only dark things come out of it. “ Jade scoffed the moment she made that statement and she stood up.“I won't co—” “Could you just keep quiet and
Harlow's Pov“You really think you can fight us off with that?” Lucan the rouge said out loud while laughing.I gathered my stance… Come to think of it, I'm so weak or should I say I act weak.The fact that these rouges had mocked me different times irritated me.I know I'm strong and yes I have to be strong… Even if it's just for today, there is clearly no one here to help me apart from me.Lucan lurked towards me and I hit him on the head with my bone like weapon, thus making him bleed in the process.I don't know how I gathered that momentum but yeah…. I acted on impulse.“You dare hit me!!!” Lucan growled and staggered towards me.I wasn't able to escape, and he grabbed me by the neck while the other rogue punched my stomach.“Argh!!” I cried out in pain.Getting my resolve, I nibbled my lips tightly and sent forth my legs forward, therefore hitting Lucan in his groins.Suddenly, a rogue from nowhere sprang towards me, hitting me in the process.I lost balance and fell down, hitti
Harlow's PovAs we all walked back to the pack, the maze looked more and more easy to get back to the pack. How did I even get lost in the first place? As we got to the pack, Lucian maintained his distance, but the sober look on his face was to let me know that Marc was going to punish him altogether.That was the thing that had been slaves! You must be punished, no matter whose fault it actually was.Trust me, I've lived that kind of life.Marc was angry, but I don't know why!Well, we walked through the hallway as greetings accompanied us, but there was a tense atmosphere that Marc didn't fail to notice so he kept walking.I had to follow him because I didn't want any reprimand of any sort, I would only leave when he asks me to and too bad he didn't look like he would ask me to leave any time soon.Walking through the hallway, we got to the grand room where meetings were held and the elders were all seated.I hope this isn't some question and answer session.“Marc, thanks for brin
Blair's PovWhatever game Irene was playing, she needs to be dealt with because for all I know she wouldn't stop being stupid.“Where are you going?” I heard the voice of Rona ask.“What do you care about?” I said still walking.“I care because it seems no one is taking what is about to happen seriously, it's like everyone has forgotten about everything, and it's so annoying.” Rona explained, at least someone has a reasoning like me.“I would handle this myself because I'm truly the one not safe here so I'd have to do something to keep myself safe first, even if it means killing Irene off!, I'd kill her even before she thinks of killing me.” Rona just stared at me as I talked. “I'd not have a part in whatever you intend to do with Irene.” She stated, jerking a shoulder forward. “Whatever.” I rolled my eyes while walking away.“Harlow's change in attitude and everything keeps making me wonder if she's okay. I don't know If maybe she's pregnant because her appearance has changed a lot
Harlow's PovI got tired and felt like walking, and I stumbled to hear noises coming from Irene's room.I opened the door and peeked.I was very certain something fell from across the room, and she wasn't the one that pushed it down.So who would?“I said, who's in your room?" I asked again trying to peer into the room, but she kept shielding the door, blocking me from looking inside.“And who are you to ask?" Mindy asked and stepped outside, slamming the door abruptly.“Irene, there's—.” I tried saying that, but she cut me off.“I don't want to hear it, now, thanks for checking up on me. You can leave now.” She said, and surprise enveloped me.Well, I didn't have any say when it came to her life, so I just left as she requested with a heavy heart.What would she be hiding in her room?Somehow I wanted her room to be checked, so I diverted my destination to Damon's study.Getting there, I entered unannounced as usual, only to meet Alaric and Marc staring at different files furiously l
