Chapter 22Mara’s pov‘Be alert.’ Gretel warned me, I could smell someone, and gosh they smelled horrible, like they hadn't showered in days, and they were coated in all manner of vile things. I continued down the path, and then I heard the footsteps again, I walked faster, clutching my bag to myself and I noticed the footsteps doubled.No, tripled. And they were moving just as fast as I was. Fear began to show as the hairs on my body stood up, and my eyes shrank.“Who is there?” I turned back, hoping I would get an answer, but the only thing I got was the whisper of the wind and a pungent scent, “I think they are rogues…'' I said to Gretel, and she growled in response.‘Be ready.’ She told me, if there was any form of oppression, I would shift anytime, and she would jump to action.At this point, I was jogging. I wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible, but the footsteps never stopped, and they followed me even more. Then I heard a chuckle, it was vile and dripped w

Chapter 23Rhys’s POV My heart ached for her, as she cried in my hands I wanted nothing else than to take away her pains and make her feel instantly better.I wondered what had triggered all of these. The rogues had played a very big part but I believed something else had made her more sad and teary as she was.‘Let it go and focus on getting her home’ Black chipped in. ‘I just want to know how those rogues got in this time. I thought we had all of them?’ I asked him as I readjusted her position in my arms.‘You have to be more conscious now. They are lurking about and also confirm what your black mouth Beta knows about this’ Black responded drowsily.‘What does he have to do with this?’ I said again just as Mara stirred in my hands.She was quiet in my arms and I wanted to comfort her, the attack had really shaken her. I patted my hands repeatedly on her hair as I walked to my car.Mara was quiet as my hands ran down her hair. I wondered what had made her this shaken. Her work clo

Chapter 24Mara’s POVI ran into the room and slammed the door behind me. ‘Stupid stupid stupid’ I said hitting my hands against my head as I rested my weight on the slammed door.I heard him walk away and I breathed a deep sigh of relief.‘Your husband just kissed you and you graciously slammed the door against his head. I bet he’s regretting his actions.’ Gretel teased as my insides whooshed.‘Gretel. Don’t be unreasonable, I had not seen that coming.’ I will have a nice shower and sleep because I have excess adrenaline from this evening.’ I told her as I raced into the bathroom and stripped off every piece of clothing on my body.I lay in the warm bath as more hot water poured into the tub. My head was numb and devoid of every thought. I managed to keep the thoughts at bay as I washed up and changed back into my pajamas.‘Now, you have more time to think about how foolish you had been today’ Gretel said as I got into bed.‘You are so supportive Gretel!’ I grounded irritably as he

Chapter 25Rhys’s POVI made my way towards the garden area, I had sighted some workers there and I wanted to observe the process when I heard my name.‘It sounds like someone irritating’ Black growled and I chuckled inwardly. I turned around to find Yara waving madly and running towards me, I couldn’t say a word before her mouth met mine in a surprising kiss.“Darn!” I growled, removing myself from her tight embrace.“Hello Rhys! It’s been so long” she purred, smiling brightly at me.It was funny how her insanity was properly shielded in daylight.Yara Jonas was the daughter of one of the elders. Our families had so badly wanted a match between us but I had wanted someone else. Talia had been my main option for marriage but thanks to circumstances, I had gotten her sister instead.“Yeah. So long. How are you Yara?” I asked, indulging her in small talk. I at least tried to accommodate her even after rejecting her on more than three occasions, she was as persistent as she was cluele

Chapter 26Mara’s PovI watched as they walked away and irritation shot through me. He had quite the audacity to bring his girlfriend over to me and rub her in my face while I struggled with this dumb assigned duty.The insult was too much and it had me gagging in irritation.‘To think we had shared a vulnerable moment’ I said to Gretel, as I stuck the shovel in the soil in front of me.‘Yara, this is my wife, the luna to my pack ’ Gretel jokes. Mimicking Rhys.‘Come on Gretel,’ I scolded ‘ but who is she? They seemed to share some ground of mutualism. I thought he claimed to have loved Talia, where does this one fit in the whole thing?’ I asked her, utterly puzzled.I had been so upset when I had to watch them flirt with each other, not only had it hurt my pride but that sense of loyalty to my sister’s memory.‘Yes. That’s true, you should probably ask him.’ Gretel suggested and I nodded my head.‘I am going to do just that. He needs to give me answers on why he is disrespecting my

Chapter 27Rhys’s POVI was restless after Duncan left. I wondered how he was going to handle the whole training, so I stood up and decided to go to the field.I finished my whiskey and replaced the bottle in the rack. I collected my coat from the hanger and left for the training field.I passed by the garden and was impressed with the progress. For years it had not been tended to and she had made it glow again in just a morning.“Too impressive for her own good” I muttered under my breath.‘You won’t know when you would fall in love with her.’ Black teased me.‘Oh please, I very much know what I am doing.’ I responded defensively. ‘Keep saying it to yourself, maybe it would stop it from happening’ he insisted and I chuckled.‘For all I know she killed her sister. Not just her sister, my potential bride, I was in love with her!’ I pointed out as I made the turn that brought me to the door of the training ground.It was an indoor training ground and was there as an alternative to th

Chapter 28Mara’s POV“I knew what I saw there and it was no adrenaline.I am telling you this because it would pose a threat to you. Do not tell a soul about what happened in there” Rhys said emphatically and I fought the urge to spit on his face.He made me so mad sometimes and I couldn’t do anything about it.“What if I did? In fact all of the warriors already saw me. What are you going to do about them?” I asked him challengingly. “You wouldn’t do it. Who would you even tell in the first place?” He joked, referencing my lack of friends.“Don’t dare me” I warned him, poking my fingers repeatedly against his chest.He released his grip on me and I was back on the ground again. I readjusted my rumpled shirt.“Sorry for hassling you,” He said, looking sympathetically at me. “Anyways, I know a mind linking spell, erasing their memory of what they had witnessed will not be a problem at all” he mumbled.“So what are you insisting on?” I asked, softening now that he had apologized.“Don’t

Chapter 29Rhys’s Pov “You smell so good” I mumbled against her cheeks, because she really did and my wolf was riled. She released a small sigh and then giggled anxiously and I stopped my lips journey as I received a signal.Duncan was trying to send a message to me. I needed to concentrate, I watched the puzzlement come into her eyes.“Report to the Dungeon. There’s a captive situation” Duncan mind linked me.“Alright,” Mara said and moved backwards. I realized then that moving away from her abruptly like that would have robbed her of the wrong way.“I’m sorry about that,” I said, trying to explain what the interruption had been.“It’s fine, I have to work actually. I will catch you later” she responded hurriedly and ran off.“Dang it!” I growled as she ran away. She had misunderstood what had happened, guilt poured through me and I ran my hands through my head in frustration. One problem at a time.I headed down to the dungeon and I cringed at the thought of having to address the
