* Sydney *"I'm sorry Sydney, I was afraid you wouldn't accept me as your friend if you know that my mother is also a Langston."I gripped the phone tightly with my right hand beside my ear, while picturing Jessica's small face with a very sad expression with her voice that sounded like she would burst into tears if I shout or raise my voice towards her. My heart could not let her be upset even if she hid the truth from me. She is already my best friend."It is alright Jess, I only wanted to confirm what my Aunt just said this morning. You know I agreed when you invited me to come to the West and start living with them. However, they don't want to go and worst, they said I couldn't get out of the Royal pack. My only family thinks that we should remain in the Langston lands to serve and sacrifice until our last breath."A loud gasp erupted from Jessica's mouth."What?! No, that's not possible Sydney, of course you have the right to go out of the Royal pack. The Alpha King has no direct
* Sydney *Hesitant and worried, I know that those are the expression I saw on their faces when I left. My Aunt cannot say no to Jessica after almost an hour of convincing them on taking me with her for almost a week. I am not below eighteen and yet they are still overprotective of me. Luckily, they end up agreeing when Jessica insisted, that she would not go back without me. While on the way to the West, Jessica and I have a really good time talking about it. I put up a smile on my face, however deep inside of me I am feeling a little bit nervous to meet her family and also I am worried about my Aunt and Uncle. No matter where I go and what I do, I could never deny the fact that they are my family.There are only the three of us inside the luxurious Bentley that her chauffeur drives. I am already familiar with her ride and the driver who works for her knows me too. Mister Joe is Jessica's driver and bodyguard, he and two others but for now, he is alone. "Jess, thank you for coming
* Sydney *I sat still but I can't keep my head down when the presence of two powerful wolves walk inside the dining hall. The air inside the dining room feels different and I caught a scent of something musky and very potent.Alpha Xander of the Western pack stood tall and beside him stood a strong wolf whose eyes immediately meet mine. He is just an inch lower than the height of the Alpha. The hairs on the back of my neck begin to stand as I meet his steely gaze. My throat suddenly went dry, my lips quivers and I have to bite them in order not to show an embarrassing face.But his eyes move down to my lips and it made my heartbeat fast. His appearance in tight dark denim paired with a grey shirt hugged his body wonderfully so that any male species in the world would get envious. There was a smirk on his face when he eyed me but then the voice coming from Alpha Xander caught me off guard."Oh, so this is the special guest my daughter keeps telling me since the other night. Welcome to
* Prince Brad *That was unexpected!As my Beta and I walk towards the parking of our vehicle, I couldn't get her out of my mind. The sweet young she-wolf guest of the birthday celebrant. Her eyes could look deep into my soul, it perks my interest the first time I set my eyes towards her. Then I started to feel something stirred in my body at the feel of her subtle skin. Is it that long after I have bedded a female wolf that my loins are aching? Damn the scent coming from her, I could not shake it out of my system.Sydney, that is her name. Beta Dylan started the engine as soon as I closed the door on my side. The big mansion of Alpha Xander and his Luna stood like a modern structure in the highlands of the West. This is not the first time I have come here to visit and I often represent the will of my father, Alpha King Vincent. Nevertheless, I have not interacted with his family as much as I did tonight. His daughter is a spoiled brat but her friend is a different story. I can feel
* Prince Brad *For a few seconds, my father has stop talking, but when he did, it feels like my world stood still from the words that comes out of his mouth."I want the young she wolf eliminated as soon as possible and if the members of their family opposes then you have to brought them in for questioning and I want this over with as soon as possible. You can have to do this before the blood wolf Moon rises, otherwise.."I let out a harsh breath, I rarely kill a female wolf. In my hands only those that have turned rogue and no longer recognized themselves as good wolf suffers the faith. I have a terrible feeling that this won't be easy, not in the sense of making me weak however, it is against my own rules."Otherwise what? Father?"His eyes are burning with rage when he looks at me. However, no words come out of his mouth until a few seconds have passed. "Trust me that this is for the best. You have to do it in order to keep the peace in our pack, I don't want any rumors of having
* Sydney *They said that the crowned Prince is also the Alpha of the Royal pack, soon to be Alpha King Brad Langston is the Alpha of my pack. While his father is the current great Alpha King, and he is also the powerful wolf who holds a grudge against my family. I was not aware of the facts until I arrived at the Harger mansion."Oh my gosh, Sydney! You know that out of all my relatives Alpha Brad is my favorite you are so lucky to be his partner on the dance floor."I exhaled an air from the inside of my lungs."Jessica, this is not safe for me. Does he know about my real family background? What if he throws me out the moment he realizes the truth?""No! He will not do that. Relax my dear friend, he has no idea who you are. My parents are here to protect that information and I am here to protect you too. You are a sister to me."I look at her and read the genuine smile on her lips. Her father, Alpha Xander, and her mother Luna Nelika, are so fond of me. However, if worst comes to wo
* Sydney *His eyes changed when all the attention of the people present on the rooftop was directed toward us. I feel the chill of the cold wind running through my skin. However, when I meet his dark eyes I can see a reflection of myself in the deepest part of them. He must be confused when his expression changes into a blank space."This practice is over! You can all go home and we thank you for your presence tonight. Miss Cooper and I will manage the dance for Jessica’s birthday. This is a direct order!”It was an absolute command coming from him that none of Jessica's friends disagreed. They all fear the Alpha command that they have to follow immediately. It only took a couple of minutes until there is only the three of us above the rooftop."What's wrong Brad? Why won't you speak up now that there are only the three of us?"Jessica is a little bit annoyed her voice raised making him draw his attention away from me and into her."You can leave first Jessica, I must speak with Sydn
* Sydney *Days fly by fast, and I couldn't forgot the conversation I had with the Alpha. Brad Langston is not just any wolf or any other Alpha, he will soon become the Alpha King. And his words installed inside my head, he will take me to the Palace and then what? Will he punish me for the sins of my ancestors? Or will he pushed me down in front of the Alpha King and end my life there according to his command. I can run away, however I have no courage to tell Jessica or to leave her on her very important day."Sydney! Are you awake?"It was a question followed by the swinging of my bedroom door open. My eyes who's watching the window outside flew towards the image of Jessica in front of me. Her eyes dancing in delight, her big day is already tomorrow. I can’t tell her about my worries, I wouldn’t want to turn her happy day into the opposite nor give her something as a distraction."Good morning to you too!"I forced a smile to appear on my lips, returning her happy mood."Oh, Syd! I
