LISA'S POV "All right, boys. Round them up. " Rubie ordered. Take the receptionist with you; it's best we don't leave anyone behind. It could prove fatal.I looked over my shoulder at the receptionist, who had frozen in place, his hands gripping the marble countertop. I had forgotten someone was there.The rebels moved closer towards us. I could hear the order growling. Each of them was eager to lunge into a fight, but they understood Kayden's hesitation. There was no way all of them would make it out alive. This was a battle for brute strength. I guess I had no choice but to replicate the favour and save the order this time.I lifted my hands into the air a

Lisa's POV I start by rushing towards the door and locking it. I lower the chain holding Dom first and then loosen it to tie the man who I first knocked out. Dom yanked out the gag in his mouth and tossed it to me, and I placed it in the man's mouth. My reason for picking Dom was that he understood the situation as well as I did. We grew up amongst rebels and we knew how they carried out things.Once I was done with the man, I joined Dom and helped him free everyone else. The murderous glint they had in their eyes towards me was all but gone. Although none of them said thank you, their silence was a good enough answer. Every one of them reached for their bags and slung them across their shoulders. My bag was in Rubie's room, and I wasn't sure I was going

Lisa's POV   Dom looked at me like I had broken his heart, feigning like I had hurt his feelings. "Ouch, Lisa. I never thought you would say that out loud." I gave him a sidelong glance, showing him that I wasn't in the mood for his shenanigans. "How? Explain this to us; we want to understand," Ava asked, and Lincoln nodded, seemingly in agreement with her. I thought about what to tell them. I couldn't tell them that he had saved me on the night that was supposed to be my death date. There was no need to tell them that I was living as an expired wolf. "We ran into each other some weeks and we sort of clicked. I didn't know who he was at that time and he was being shady about his identity." It was better this way. If I mentioned that I was friends with Kayden, they would use me as bait to bring him back here. It was going to be the start of a war and I didn't want to be behind any bloodshed.

KLAUS' POV   "You are not to harm her. This is a warning and you will do right and heed it." A warning coming from the former Beta? I don't think you have any power over me anymore. " My nostrils flared as I grabbed his shirt. "You need to pick your next words carefully." I began slowly. "You are no match for me, and I will kill you if you disrespect me again." Soon I'm going to be Beta. None of the others are qualified enough if you ask me, so don't think you can scare me anymore. I'll soon be above you. It's only a matter of time. I ducked underneath a branch blocking the path as I maintained a reasonable amount of distance behind Brandon. Is that all you care about right now? Claiming my position? " I laughed bitterly. You've always been cynical and resentful ever since you were a child. You can't stand to see my brother wanting to be happy with a woman he loves. You can't understand me for bei

Lisa's POV   "The mark on her neck is a coincidence. She got it from a tattoo artist down in Baltimore, and she has not expired yet. She has no mate at the moment, but she still has a couple of years before judgment will be passed on her. It was merely a misunderstanding, which wouldn't happen again. Her current age is in our database and you can all look it up yourself to clear your doubts. I want everything I do or say here to
