Even as Alpha Hendrix was been driven back, thoughts of Aria entered his head. She was the daughter that reminded him the most of his dead mate. Which was why he hated her.The way her brain worked was similar to the way his dead mate used to think. It annoyed him the most that it was the dark child that had most of the attributes of the woman he loved.Peter hit a pothole and the car shook. The action caused Alpha Hendrix to come out of his thoughts and focus on the road ahead."Apologies my Alpha. I didn't see the pothole," Peter apologised.This made Hendrix turn his head to Peter. Questions ran through his mind. Had he been this much of an heartless person? Just how much had he been evil to his people?"Peter, may I ask you something?" Hendrix asked."Of course," Peter answered as quickly as the question left Hendrix's lips.Hendrix paused for a while, thinking of how he wound place the question. "Am I an evil Alpha?" He let it out.Peter threw a short glance to his Alpha before b
"Yes. We found a body," Gerald confirmed it.Gerald stared back at the Alpha in shock. Peter remained calm as he took in the message. Donald's attention got drawn to the older Alpha even more."Daddy, you couldn't have just guessed right. How did you know this was what Gerald was going to say?" Ellie questioned her father.Hendrix exhaled sharply. Images of the dead werewolf they saw in the woods flashed through his head. He saw the huge cross that had been carved out of his chest. Something had to be done about it."We found a body too, in the woods. There had been a cross sign carved out of the body. The werewolf hunters are back and they are not afraid to make themselves known to us Werewolves," Hendrix explained."It was exactly my thought when I saw the body. Werewolf hunters. I wonder why they keep trying to annihilate us," Gerald lamented.Donald still said nothing. He felt that he was only going to speak when he had something good enough to say. Peter, like Donald too felt th
"This is a picture of me," Aria said.Damien froze in his seat. He threw Aria a strange look. Maybe he hadn't gotten the message right."A picture of you?" Damien asked.Aria turned her gaze to him and nodded her head slowly. Damien's brows knitted together at her response. He scouted closer to Aria and took the sketchbook from her. He examined the sketch himself and he gasped due to shock.It really was a picture of Aria.His mouth came open in confusion. What was Aria's picture doing there? How could Liona have drawn Aria when he was very sure that both women had never even met.Aria exhaled sharply, breaking Damien out of his reverie. Damien brought his eyes back to her and the confusion was still evident on his face."How is my face in this book?" Aria asked Damien.Damien wanted to give her an answer. He wished he could give her the answer she wanted but there was nothing he could say. Instead, he ended up stuttering."I— I am afraid I can not give you the answer to that question
Aria stared at Camile shocked. Camile had long passed the coming of age ceremony. She wasn't supposed to be living with her brother. She was supposed to be with her mate yet here she was with her.Camille noticed the strange look that Aria was giving her. She frowned and tilted her head towards Aria."Are you okay?" Camille asked.Aria widened her eyes, startled that she had been caught staring. Then she looked away immediately."Oh, it's nothing," Aria answered.She wanted to ask Camille about her mate. She wanted to ask her if she ever did her coming of age ceremony. She wanted to ask Camille questions but she did not have the courage.Instead, she just threw her eyes down to her feet. Camille noticed that there was a question on Aria's eyes."What is it Aria? It's obvious there's something on your mind," Camille told Aria.Aria looked up at Camille. Could she take the chance now? Could she let out her question?Aria opened her mouth to speak but the right word to use didn't come o
Camille followed Lana back into the dining. She met Aria smiling nervously at Lana who busied herself with serving Aria a lot of food. To someone else who didn't have any idea how Aria and Lana were related, they would have thought that Lana was Aria's mother.Aria spotted Camille watching from a distance and shot her pleading eyes. Camille immediately understood that came to her rescue."Lana? Don't you think you're feeding her too much? Take it easy on her. She's a living person and not a doll," Camille said with a wide smile on her face.Lana immediately stopped. She had understood that she had to reduce it. "I'm so sorry. It's just that I am so excited. I really like Aria a lot," Lana said and walked away hurriedly.Aria kept her nervous smile on her face as she watched Lana's back. Indeed, she was strange just as Camille had claimed."Lana doesn't just approve of anyone. There must be something about you Aria that has drawn her to like you a lot. I've never seen her this happy w
Aria watched Damien's back as he went after his sister. She wondered what had gotten her so moody. Aria didn't know Camille to be someone who always smiled. Something was definitely wrong with her.As much as Aria wanted to go after Damien, she remained rooted to the chair. Thoughts of the werewolf Hunters entered her head.Aria had never seen a Werewolf Hunter before but she knew that they had enough strength and power to take down wolves. They were their sworn enemies.She had only heard stories of these strong and dangerous Werewolf Hunters. They were humans but with stronger senses than the typical average humans.She never wished to have an encounter alone with any of them. She knew that if that day were to come then she would not survive it on her own. She had no chances against them. She hardly even knew how to summon her wolf.Aria could sense that a darkness was slowly looming over them and she couldn't help but feel that she was at the center of it all.Damien on the other h
The sun's ray found its way into Damien's room. It moved slowly, gradually; until it found a perfect resting place.Damien's face.The golden light danced around his face, trying to get the attention that it always wanted. Yet Damien seemed to be too far gone into his sleep. It persisted until Damien moved.He must have felt the warmth from whatever dream world that he was lost in. He must have felt the light on his face. For it's caused another movement from Damien again.Damien squeezed his eyes due to the intrusion from the natural light. He tried hard to ignore it but the dream world that he was lost in began to lose its grip on him. Eventually, Damien's eyes flew open.He sat up slowly moving his eyes sleepily around his room as if he was searching for something then his eyes fell on the mirror opposite the room.His eyes seemed to glow for a split second then it went off. He wondered what could have caused it. He lingered on the thought for a while. So much so that his wolf had
Camille stared at her brother. Her brows were raced up to the highest as she stared at him. Normally, she would be the one to ask her brother to take her out but today, he had willingly thought of it all on his own.Camille kept scrutinizing him, trying to find the reason for the sudden change of his behavior. The more she stared, the sooner she understood as she caught all the hints.He was doing this because it wasn't just her again. He was probably doing this for Aria. She soon smiled at him."I believe you're doing this just to get Aria to loosen up around you, isn't it?" Camille interrogated him with one of her teasing smiles.Damien suddenly allowed a blush slip through his demeanor and he had to tip his head down just to try hide his face. His sister giggled. It was true but that wasn't the entire reason. He just wanted to make everyone of them happy again."You know I also want you to have fun. That's why I'm telling you about it first. It's not just about Aria. It's about you
