Kayla’s POV My feet were aching as I ran for my dear life away from Hector’s “ wolf”. I managed to escape just before it tried to bite off my head, running immediately after and not daring to look behind me. Luckily, I remembered exactly how to get out of that place, but I could hear its growls and barks louder and louder, letting me know that it was catching up with me. The thought of him catching up with me and harming me in any way messed with my brain so badly that I didn’t see the tree in front of me so I slammed into it and fell to the ground, breathing heavily as I tried to catch my breath. The last thing I remember was seeing it standing over me and opening its mouth, exposing those clear flesh-stabbing fangs before I passed out AGAIN. I woke up a while later, with my eyes wide open and my heart rate multiplying as I looked everywhere to know exactly where I was and what has happened to me. Instead of the woods, I was in my room at Theresa’s house, beside me was an empty p

Hector’s POVEvery word she said earlier, I heard. About me being a monster and trying to kill her, Trojan was not exactly a bad wolf, he just looks so scary that I believe Kayla mistook his every move as an attack. I warned the idiot not to try to lick her face but he still tried to do it, I bet she thought he was going to eat her or something. I need to make her understand that I’m not a monster We’re not monsters. “ Shut the door,” she said as I entered the room. I did so, taking a little more time before I turned around and sat down beside her on the bed, ignoring the chair in the room because I knew she would not mind if I sat beside her. In fact, she won’t be able to hate it now. Her forehead was healing a lot faster now so I took away the ice pack from her hand because it was blocking her beautiful face. I told her this and she smiled. Her full lips curled up as she did so but they were pale, she must’ve been so frightened. I wanted to kiss her, I wasn’t sure what that would

Hector’s POV“ What is he doing here?” Kayla asked me, putting on her clothes while glaring at me as if I invited Aidan here. “ What do you mean? I don’t know, we don’t even know if it’s Aidan Wolfe or another Aidan.” I said, putting on my clothes and hating how this stupid news has ruined everything. Kayla finally chose me, I was finally going to seal the deal, accepting her as my mate, and – I stopped talking, realizing how I would’ve broken an important code of the rogues – no mates with a woman who isn’t a Rogue. Sure, Kayla is Rogue by blood but she’s been raised to have allegiance to Alpha Kent. Until she refuses him and denies all ties she has with Redwolf according to Rogue custom, she’s not going to be considered one. I could’ve lost everything just because I was in the moment. Maybe this wasn’t such a bad thing but…if somehow she sleeps with Aidan instead – no! She wouldn’t do that, she hates him. I mentally scolded myself for thinking that Kayla would do that to me. She’s

Hector’s POVMax and Murray took Aidan straight to an underground cellar where alpha Jax was already listening and waiting for us. But we were interrogating Aidan, I was hearing something that I wasn’t happy to hear – Kayla’s tensed breathing. The girl was watching the entire time and I didn’t understand why she would do that! Did she want Aidan to see her? Did she miss him?As we chained Aidan to the wall, I sent secret messages to other gammas and betas to ensure that some spies weren’t trying to use Aidan as a diversion to get into our city and they immediately did as I told them. When I returned Aidan was being beaten mercilessly no doubt by Alpha Jax and Max. “ I said it before, those men aren’t my men. My father was killed today okay? I knew that they would try to –““ – How would you know that though? You don’t even make any sense.” “ shut up Max, just leave me with him,” Alpha Jax said harshly. “ I said leave!” he yelled this time and Max, stared at his father and that star

Kayla’s POV“ This makes no sense Sapphire. How can Max be your mate? Isn’t Aubrey having some kind of “thing” with him?”“ She’s not. She is in love with Hector, I send her to meet Max and to beg him to…allow me to reject him.” I couldn’t believe this, none of it makes sense. If she knows Max is her mate, why would she want her sister to convince Max into them breaking their mate bond? On second thought, I don’t know Max very much but from what I’ve seen so far, he is not worth Sapphire at all. How could he experiment his powers of submission on her? Maybe this is the best thing she can do because if she lets Max have her then he will keep on abusing his powers on her and eventually everyone else when he becomes Alpha. “ But…what about his girlfriend, Barbara?” I asked, remembering that Barbara is Max’s girlfriend. “ She’s the one his parents want for him.” “ Then since he’s already dating the girl his parents approve he should leave you alone and stop using you as a tool.” “ Bu
