42. Preparing To Go Back Home New Zealand"Alpha," Jake was relishing the soft embrace of the couch while watching a random cartoon on the television when he heard one of the soldiers scream for his father. His voice held a need for attention that he could not ignore. Craning his neck upwards and to the side to look at the soldier padding forward hastily, Jake raised himself on his elbow as his curious gaze followed him. His father was in a room they have transformed into a small office in the corridor right across from the living room. The soldier rushed inside it and provided his salutation before he said, "Alpha, there's a huge problem in the pack."Jake lowered the volume of the cartoon and concentrated on the soldier's breathing. It was ragged and his heart was galloping in terror as if he missed a wooden dagger just by an inch. He was forced to peel out of the couch and make a beeline towards the soldier. "Brent sent a message?!" Jake saw his father standing across a round ta
43. Worried For Aria!That was understandable. In fact, after Jake heard about the professor's death, he was certain they might come across some heavily loaded men and have a combat before they reached back to Texas. Always after such unexpected deaths, more predicaments followed. Bruises on hands and bandages around neck, shoulders and stomach were inevitable.He was ready for it and the fact that Aria was going to be investigated for a murder she was not related with caused his composure more damage. He could easily sunder some esophagus from the stomachs of a few if at all they charged on them.Besides this, he was all over the place because he thought there was some connection of Professor Springham with Derwin Blaze, the dangerous alpha that was preparing for a war with their pack."Dad," Jake broke his father's deep trance with a snap of his fingers. "What could our boring looking professor have to do with Derwin Blaze?
44. Let Me LearnJake did fall asleep during the flight and it was his father that shook him once they landed in Texas. He woke up with a jolt and looked around himself, on autopilot, for threat as if they were attacked in the air on the plane."We have landed, son," Jake looked at his front at his father's wary eyes beaming at him. "Our chauffeur is here to take you home. Get up and get going.""To take me home?" Jake parroted as he rubbed his eyes and yawned. After flexing his shoulders and doing a minute long neck stretching, he got up on his strong legs and gestured to his father to follow him, "Let's go to the crime scene.""What the!" Alpha Killian disappointedly followed him.His eyes were red-rimmed from lack of sleep. There was a touch of wariness in his walk and his strong and broad shoulders were slightly slumped. If being the alpha he was so exhausted, he can only imagine how tired his son would be. All that he wanted at the momen
45. Aria's Involved In The Murder! "Oh hell, yes, I want to know how Aria found the dead body?" Jake looked for his father only to realize that he had gone to the murder spot with his team without him. He gestured to his friends to follow but they suggested waiting there as they didn't want to discuss the case in the scrutiny of the elders. Moreover, they said that there were a couple of things Jake needed to know before he went inside to investigate the case alongside his father and the supreme commander. "You know about the discovery," That was Zack who said in such a low voice that it was only audible to his own ears. "Now coming back to Aria and her location then you will be disappointed to know that she has been detained in the headquarters while Noah was permitted to go back home with his father." A muscle at Jake's jaw quivered. He remained silent and let Zack continue, "From what I have heard of my father's conversation with the chie
46. I Won't Let You Drag Aria Into This"But Aria is not left-handed," Jake stirred the uneasy silence in the room with his high-pitched remark."And what makes you think she can't be involved even if she's left-handed?" Arthur Moore's poker face seemed to be asking for a face-breaking punch when he raised a questionable eyebrow.Jake growled slowly, then turned to his father, "Zavier will never help if you drag his daughter in this murder mystery, dad." The elders other than his father gasped.It was as if they were shocked by the discovery that Jake knew what they meant to do. But it had been a close and narrow discussion that didn't embroil people other than the alpha, the supreme commander and the detective, who must have been the giver of this wonderful idea since there was participation of a girl the same as her age in the murder, his expression said so."Not to mention this will impact Aria's life and make her s
47. The Shocking RevelationJake halted before his friends. His eyes were fiercely dark and face awfully red, causing an apprehensive chill to melt his friends' spine. They looked at each other before turning at Jake as one of them rasped slowly, "What's wrong?"Jake growled. His dark eyes coming up to shoot a scary glare at them all as he said, "That mother fucker commander is manipulating my father to sacrifice Aria's life.""Doesn't your father have his own brains?" Kai shrugged unrepentantly."He's acting like a five year old douchebag who thinks he knows what's right for him." He was breathless with rage.The others blinked in agreement as Jake punched the trunk of a nearby tree, splitting it in two. It plummeted behind him with a booming sound. His friends stepped away as they stared at him in amazement while the guard and some of the cops guarding the school gate rushed inside only to find Jake turning into his werewolf and leaping off of their heads to exit the school premises
48. Please Come To Save Me"Granddaughter to Derwin Blaze?" Jake parroted slowly, his eyes bulging out in stupor.He didn't have the energy to look up at Noah as he stressed himself on thinking about Derwin Blaze and his relation with Aria. This sounded too terrifying to be true. If she was the granddaughter to the Alpha that was currently the biggest threat and enemy of the pack, there were two hundred percent chances that Aria could be involved.Yet, a part of him shoved his insides, waking him up from the shock. This could be a scheme to prevent him from going inside. Brent was supporting the alpha and the supreme commander. So it was feasible that Noah was with them too. Jake drew his brows together and glared at Noah mercilessly. The cunt was crossing the limits of being annoying and provocative at the same time. "I am ashamed to think of you as my future beta. You are gross, Noah Rhodes." Jake bit out. His features screamed of his reluctance. Noah controlled his own rage and a
49. Don't say a word Aria. Aria shrunk in the chair. It was not very big to hold the whole of her, still she picked her legs up and curled her hands around the knees. Now she was suddenly cold. Her blood was rushing furiously like an overflowing river after a cloudburst. She was going through emotion-burst instead.Her heartbeats drummed in her ears. Her fingertips seemed to have frosted up. Panic settled in her stomach in sharp points of jagged glass. It wasn't fair ! It wasn't fair, damn it. She was detained for a murder she didn't know about taking place in the classroom. Not that she had any connection with the professor who died.The muscles in her face tightened as she heard the noise on the other side of the door. Something was happening out there. Maybe the family members of the dead professor were here to deal with her their way! Maybe it was a furious, ill-tempered officer who had the wish of solving the case within hours of discovery that there had been a murder.Aria knew
