Twenty one years after the birth of AsherAaron's POVToday was the day I would officially be stepping down as the Alpha of the Shadow flame pack, and my son would be taking over. I had been looking forward to this day for some time now. There would no longer be responsibilities. I would have all the time in the world to spend with my mate. We already mapped out all the places we were going to visit together. But now that the day was here, I could not help but feel emotional.I would be leaving a big part of me behind, but I took consolation, knowing the fact that the pack would be in capable hands. I trusted my son, his beta and his gamma with everything in me.Looking back from where I began, I would never had predicted the life that I had now.I was the last child of my parents, I was never meant to be Alpha, it should had been my eldest brother, but he died. I took this position because I wanted revenge, nothing more. I never thought I would made a good Alpha. I didn't have the in

Natalia's POVI sat at the corner of the dark room I was kept in, my hand curled around my legs. I had been dragged, beaten and kept away from sunlight, I could not even tell the passage of time. I had not bathed or changed my clothes in three days, and I happened to be wearing a white dress. It was no longer white though, as it was stained beyond recognition when the pack warriors dragged me here.Four days ago, I would had never thought that I will ever find myself in this position. I was the pack's princess, the Alpha's daughter. It all happened in the blink of an eye. The pack was suddenly attacked by none other, but the pack's Gamma, the quiet and trusted Aaron. Or so I thought. Aaron killed my father, and now he parades himself as the Alpha.What I could not wrap my head around was the fact that he had so much men whom were willing to turn against my father. My father was surrounded by traitors and he knew nothing of it. I would make Aaron and his men suffer with the last drop of
Natalia's POVI banged heavily on the door of the room I was locked in, disturbing the whole pack house. I wanted to stay put the way I stayed before, but I decided against it. Why would I give them peace when they practically rubbed me of mine?It didn't take long before the door creaked open. I wondered who Aaron had sent to get me this time, but as the person entered, I was surprised to see that he was the one.He stared at me for a while, and I wondered the thoughts that ran through his head. It broke my heart over and over again that he was the one to cause me all these pain. We were a family, and he betrayed us like this."Come join me for breakfast." He uttered, before he turned to leave.I stared at myself. I needed a shower and change of clothes. I was disgusted by my own appearance and smell. I even dreaded looking into the mirror, because I was sure that I looked horrible. My eyes were probably swollen from my cries. I had been crying since the day Aaron attacked the pack a
Natalia's POVI stepped out of the pack house, wanting to leave for a while, but I bumped into Kenneth when I got to the exit."Where the hell do you think you are going?" He asked, glowering at me, but I chose to ignore him. He then grabbed my right arm, pressing tightly on it and making me wince. "Answer me now, or you will regret it."I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The man in front of me was not the man that I knew to be my protector. The man in front of me was a liar and a betrayer. I had to remind myself that, before I crumble and begin to beg him, hoping that he would be moved by my tears."What can you do to me, Kenneth? You and Aaron already took my father from me. Get the fuck out of my way!" I lashed at him, trying to twist my arm out of his hold."You want to see what I can do?" He then began the drag me away. I struggled against him, but I was no match for his strength. He was a warrior after all."Kenneth!" I then heard Luca's voice. He was also one of the warri
Aaron's POVI tapped my fingers impatiently on my office table, as I stared at Kenneth and Luca who stood before me with their heads lowered. I was angry, and they knew it.I had been away from the pack since the past three days. Since I ascended the position of the Alpha, I have had a lot of troubles with the elders and Alphas of other packs. Most of them were angry that I killed the previous Alpha, and they wanted to know why. They wanted me to drop the title, but I stood my ground. I was not completely surprised though, because the late Alpha would sure have some loyal followers.I then returned my attention back to the men I standing in front of me. When I came back, I asked of Natalia, and Luca told that she was in the dungeon. I asked about her crimes, and he told me that she did nothing, but Kenneth just choose to punish her."What do you have to say for yourself?" I asked, directing my question at Kenneth."She is so stubborn and needs to be tamed. I saw her leaving the pack h
Natalia's POVTwo days had passed since my argument with Aaron, and I had been avoiding him like a plague. I wanted nothing to do with him or Kenneth, not like I had seen him in those two days.I saw Luca, but I was not really in the mood to talk to him. I would just force a smile, and he would smile back. But that morning, I decided to spend some time with him. I had not had some human interaction in days, and I felt very lonely.I searched for him that morning, wanting him to join me for breakfast, and I smiled when I saw him."Do you mind joining me for breakfast?" I asked him, and he scratched the back of his head sheepishly."Eh, I don't think so. I have my hands full right now." He rejected my invitation, but I shook my head, not having it."It's just breakfast. You will not be spending the whole day. Please." I pressured him, and his resolve weakened. He looked to his left and right, as if he was trying to be cautious."You are worried Kenneth or Aaron would see you?" I quickly
Natalia's POVIt's been two days, and I still didn't know if Aaron was serious about getting married to me or not, but I was not going to wait to find out.I took out one of my small bags and I folded a few of my clothes into it. I needed to escape, and I needed to do it at night to avoid getting caught. After packing the bag, I placed it on my bed and locked the door. I didn't want anyone to find out before I got to escape. I had not succeeded in bringing Luca to my side, I would had asked him to help me escape instead, and it would had been much easier. Now I had to do it on my own, and I had to do it right.When night came, I walked out of my room and around the pack house to make sure that no one was there to stop me, before I went back in to carry my bag.I carefully walked out of the house, praying that everyone was asleep or too busy to hear me. I finally came out, and I was more than thankful to be out. It pained me that I couldn't stay back to make Aaron pay for everything th
