Continuation of flashback…Finlay was completely frazzled by her beauty because he had seen a lot of maidens within and around Easton, but none had caught his eye the way this fright-driven, trembling girl did. So far, she was the fairest.He didn't know she was that beautiful and delicate until she took her veil off and spoke up when he was about to have his guards behead her father since the man owed him such a large amount of money. Finlay cleared his throat slowly, "you never told me you had such a daughter, O'Cleigh," his voice was low when he addressed her father with his eyes never leaving hers.Although he wasn't staring at her like he loved or listed after her. He looked at her like she was meant to be kept within his castle. Away from other men so he only would have access to her.Ophelia took a hard hurtful gulp because she didn't like this man, didn't like the way he was treating her father but she wouldn't blame him because O'Cleigh was the one at fault.He was being trea

Later that evening, they began with the plan after Finlay's men reluctantly accepted it. It was quite a tough one because it sounded too low to go against Alpha Williamsburg like that since it had to do with their lives.Mostly Delta Lockwood who had wanted Finlay to have Ophelia sent back to Easton right from the onset, he blatantly told Finlay that it would mean he was willing to risk the life of the Luna if he wanted to have her sent into the Williamsburg castle alone to put sleeping dozes into the guardsman drinks, and have them asleep whilst Finlay and his men would wait until she signals them through a three-eyed raven to show up and smite them all. But when they heard Ophelia speak, they had no choice but to agree with it. She spoke with so much wisdom that these men began wondering how in the hell she wasn't amongst them from the meetings right from the onset.She sounded as if she had things all planned out and Finlay marveled at the way Ophelia had addressed his men. He had

After dressing up, Ophelia found her way to the Williamsburg castle with the map that Finlay had handed her. The dress was so attractive that eyes rested on her and followed her into the castle. No one knew she was Alpha Finlay's wife who had come from the East. Because she had a mask on.She had this all planned from the onset and it was going on smoothly. No one had seen her break into the shop because she picked the lock. Finlay taught her how to pick locks with the claws of her wolf, a day ago. Something which had her wondering how cunning her husband was, because the old Finlay didn't know how to pick a lock. Lock picking was for thieves and spies. Could it be that he had learned it during the time he was held hostage by the barbarian pack members? The man was of many things. The old Finlay never had to pick a lock, he had access to anywhere of his choice because he was the Alpha of Alphas.Upon reaching the giant castle, Ophelia walked in as if she was used to the place. Pretendi

"Long time no see, Finlay," Alpha Williamsburg stopped his horse half a yard away from Finlay along with his men. It was quite a distance between them, so he had to shout.Ophelia had her heart in her throat. Being held by the enemy of her husband while he was right there was maddening. Tears threatened to blur her vision and she fought them back because she didn't want to have Finlay worried as he already was. "Although, I wasn't expecting you to sail all the way from Easton to come attack me in my own pack, well I must say you're still very brave. Plus you look half the man you were," this time, wiping the horse's back and the horse neighed before raising his fours up and throwing Ophelia, who was tied to him, over the ground dirt.Men around Alpha Williamsburg laughed, amused by what he just did to the Luna of the Crimson Paw pack right in front of the Alpha. It was insulting. Ophelia knew she wouldn't be handed to Finlay with ease. This man wanted to kill her husband, perhaps he m

Returning to Easton took less than a month because they sailed through the seven seas with ease. Finlay was still alive, but he couldn't move his limbs or speak. His eyes were open until Ophelia closed them herself, and fought hard to be strong and not weep. Layla had sent him into the void land, so his soul was far away from him even though his body was there with Ophelia and his men.She was in charge since Finlay was half-dead. Took the responsibilities of an Alpha and had his men answered to her. Sat down with Lockwood and the rest of the men to discuss Finlay's condition, and asked if they could be of help, but none of them knew what could be done. The spell from Layla was powerful and it couldn't be reversed since she was already dead. It didn't rain nor did they experience waves when they sailed through Holka. The sea gods let them pass and even the sirens couldn't blow their amulets. They just watched from afar whilst the fifteen ships passed the deadly sea.They had packed m
