“I got it!” I shouted. “Are you sure, Becca?” Nadia asked me and I nodded my head. I walked to my wardrobe and took out a jacket before packing my hair in a bun. I jumped out my window knowing that mom and the Alphas are gonna ask me where I was going. I needed to confirm something. I shifted and Nadia picked my clothes with her mouth and then we started to run. It took us an hour to reach our destination. Nadia shifted and gave me access before I wore my clothes and walked to her bar. I was going to Aurora’s bar. “I see you got it.” Her voice came through immediately after I entered the door. Her bar was empty once again, I was happy about that. I walked toward her and she gave me a cup of coffee. “So I am right?” I asked and she nodded her head. “But the hunters weren't cursed by the witches. The wolves thought that the witches fortified the humans to kill them but that wasn't true. It was the moon goddess herself who fortified the humans when the wolves were becoming ruthless.

BECCA“Guess what mom, I had a mate and he rejected me. You don't even know anything about me. How dare you try to pin your fault on Becca who had done nothing but love me. Please leave mom.” Collins stood up to his mom for the first time. I had never seen him that angry, sober, and scared. He bent behind me and wrapped his hand around my shoulder. “No, you shouldn't be comforting me. We should find a way to help you stay alive.” I wiped my face quickly and tried to stand up when Collins suddenly broke down. He sat at the arm of the chair and held his belly. “Collins!” I shouted and turned to him, blood began to drip from his mouth while his skin started to turn ash. Like the ashes of wood after burning. “Collins?” I called again, scared to walk closer to him. He smiled and held his belly, he rested his head against the chair. Behind him was Reid who placed his hand behind his back so he wouldn't fall. My breath stilled, and my stomach bounced in pain. I had never felt anything l

BECCA: Alexander ended up cooking lasagne that night, I was glad he came to cause the last thing I wanted was to cook. Reid and Ezra forced me to be in the kitchen with Alex because Alexander wasn't there when the game started, and I didn't want to cook alone, I should better help him. I was too tired to cook therefore I just helped him with the ingredients. We said nothing to each other, I was glad he said nothing because I was still seething. “Her baby is not mine.” He suddenly uttered, as I oiled the pan for the lasagne. “Oh, I am supposed to believe that?” I looked at him. “Yes, I can't tell you anything aside from that, Becca so stop acting out.” He raised his voice, getting angry when he was the one at fault. “Now I'm acting out?” I turned my head to him while he carried the pan into the microwave. After pushing inside and setting the timer, he turned to me. “Becca, you don't want to know anything other than that, trust me.” He breathes out, looking at me. “You either

BECCA: Alexander laughed seeing the way I acted under his intense gaze. He faced the road and rested his back against the chair, parting his legs like a don. I hated the way he relaxed as if he had me all wrapped in the middle of his finger. I rolled my eyes against him and looked out the window. Soon, we reached neutral ground. I knew Alphas didn't like to have meetings on pack property for protection. Anyone could gang up against the other and the one at home at the upper hand. Halting the car at the parking lot, Alex looked at me. “Come here.” He used two fingers to gesture his words to me. I did as told and went near him. Once I was near him, he wrapped his hand around my shoulder and then pulled me closer making me collapse into his brick-hard chest. He looked down at me, distracting me with his beautiful eyes. His other hand came to the middle of my thigh, he separated my legs and fitted his hand through which made a moan escape from my mouth. Suddenly, Alex pulled me aga

“My dad!” I answered. “Come out now, Becca’s dad,” Alexander shouted into the air, looking around as well. Tears built in my eyes because I couldn't hear my mom’s voice except for the faint beat of her heart. “Come out right now, Fernando!” I barked, my voice breaking at the end for my mother. “I don't care if you're mate’s father, if I come to find you myself, your heart will be delivered to her.” Alex threatened, I knew he wasn't bluffing. Under the stair, I didn't realize there was a dark space there until he came out with my mom. Her face was swollen, her mouth tied with a gauze that reeked of wolfsbane and her body had swollen red circles. I sucked in a terrible breath at the sight of my mom before I made my move to go to her when his voice sounded and made me stop on my track. “One step closer, I will not hesitate to claw out her heart!” Fernando, the man I had called dad for years barked at me, looking me in the eyes. His hatred for me was evident in his eyes, I wondered w
