Author's POVJohn got lost in thought as he drove towards the pack house. He couldn't seem to feel sorry for Elizabeth. She deserves whatever comes to her, he never would have thought that a time would come when he would be able to look her in the eyes without breaking down. John would have never imagined himself to be a lover. But then love knows no rogue or anyone else, as soon as your heart finds interest in someone. You are doomed and nothing else helps. He didn't get a chance at finding a mate, which implies he could choose any woman to be with. His treacherous heart had him fooled by Elizabeth, and he fell for her with no caution.For some reason known to her alone, Elizabeth comes to drink at the usual spot of the rogues.

Kira's POVI feel like whatever it is that has brought uncle John to the pack house must be vital. Whatever it is I can only hope it would be of help to the course on the ground. The entire pack has been on high alert for the past week over the escape of the pack traitors. Knowing they wouldn't give up and might be planning something big against us. I have asked the zeta to engage in rigorous training with the soldiers. They need to be as prepared as possible.After lunch, John asked to have a word with my mum and me. Amber left reluctantly, I am sure she is just as keen to know what he has to say just like every one of us. Calling him into the study with my mum, we all settled on the couch waiting for him to speak. John cleared his throat, clasping his hands together. “I want to start by saying that this family means a lot to me, and I am not just saying this to sweet talk you. Kendrick made me understand that being different from the rest of the people doesn't mean you must be evil
Kira's POVXander didn't wait for me to explain further, he said he was on his way. I wanted to avoid making any hasty decisions without the key members of the pack. In less than thirty minutes, the large meeting room was filled up with every member of the pack council and Xander. “Why did you call a meeting all of a sudden, princess Kira?” Zeta Felix inquired.Asking for them to wait for me, I called in John to repeat his information about Elizabeth and the rest to them. Which he repeated without mincing a word. They couldn't doubt him, my father had ensured the pack members could trust the rogues with their words. Beta Mason scoffed, “how dare them even think of going up against us? Such audacity!” “What should we do now? Should we go after them?” Asked Felix.I sighed, turning towards John. “What do you advise we do uncle?” He shrugged, “there is much to do, I have no intention of taking my men on a fruitless journey. So, since you won't be crossing anybody's territory without
Kira's POVIt's been a month since the Blackstone pack got rid of its plotters, a month since Elizabeth died. Leila and Declan have since been locked up in the dungeon awaiting their trial. There was no need to hurry it up, it's not like they would ever get an escape from there. Their sentence would be judged based on their two times attempted murder and plotting against the throne. I wish them nothing but the best in their forthcoming trial. After the deed, Xander got to investigate on the fraud Elizabeth had engaged in while she ruled as the CEO of his father's company. It didn't take long before he got his rightful position back and took over his inheritance. I was thrilled for him, as for Mira, I had to have her released. She didn't really do much, even though she had kidnapped me. I didn't need to tell the pack council that. Uncle John kept to his promise and has been visiting from time to time. He and my mum seem to enjoy spending time together playing Scrabble. I'm glad she
Chapter OneKira’s POV"Well, well, well," a tiny feminine voice called out from within the darkness of the forest. My heart beats increased as it began pumping a lot of blood into my arteries due to how close the voice sounded to me. My feet suddenly became cold and I moved my eyes in a circular motion around the length of the environs to see what it was that called out to me. All I could see was darkness. Terrifying darkness that pierced into my soul. The light coming from the moon was not even that bright either as it was not a full moon. My ever-vibrant wolf, Ayla, became mute.The dry leaves on the soil rustled noisily the moment I took a step backwards, initially scaring me."Don't move!" the voice called out to me again, but this time in a commandeering tone of voice . Her voice sounded so fierce that it made me shiver momentarily. My sharp ears were able to pick up the squeaks from the rats in the forest. I could also smell a body.'Human? A dead body?' Different questions
Chapter TwoKira’s POVI listened feeling sharp pains of betrayal clawing at my bleeding heart."You have the guts to steal the one I love, Leila," my lips shook as they moved. Declan wrapped his hands around Leila's waist and I couldn't feel my body. The continuous pounding of my heart refused to stop. It was as if my heart was about to explode without me knowing."Declan was never yours. Cut off all these drama," Leila snapped. “You’re only finding out now because you were too naive to see in the first place.” My heart throbbed painfully in my chest as they literally groped the other.This is torture. I could see it now. All these while I didn't see it. Or maybe I did and just didn't read meaning into it because I never thought my best friend, the one I took as my sister would stab me in the back this way. The hurt was too much.I drifted my eyes away from them as tears rolled down my cheeks. I couldn't believe Leila could do this to me. “Declan and I have been dating way before I

Chapter FourKira's POVMy phone lit up again and I saw a message from Leila, my best friend. She had already given me five missed calls in a short period of time."Let's meet at our regular ice cream spot. I have someone you should meet. -Leila."I got up from where I was, kissed my father on both cheeks, grabbed my bag and checked my dress, making sure I didn't look anything short of pretty.I heard him grumble under his breath about something relating to me but I ignored it and instead refocused my attention to the beeping phone in my hands while I strode out of the room.This was exactly how Leila made me meet Declan two years ago, or sorry on this day but the last time I lived it. At first, my body froze; I hesitated for a while as I didn't want any mistake to repeat itself but I quickly shook it off by deciding to go with the flow just so that I do not mess things up this time.***Declan was beaming with all smiles when I arrived at the ice cream spot. His smile had been what
