Samantha’s POV. There was something serious underlying that statement. I covered my face with a book. “Everyone stop what you’re doing.” “Not again. Its Fathres’s Beta” Tala grumped. I gulped the last contents of my orange juice. I have to hide. I cannot let him see me. There were drapes all over the place. I slowly covered myself inside one of them. I was ashamed of myself when Tala walked up to Fernando. “This is for my birthday party! Its an exception today!” she asked boldly. Fernando had no choice than to let her do what she wanted. “Why are you hiding?” a kid’s voice asked me. I almost jumped out of my skin. “Dante! What are you doing here? SHhhhhhhh” I made him shut up his mouth till Fernando left. “Why were you hiding? Are you scared of Fernando? I used to be scared of him also, but not anymore” He helped me get up to my feet after Fernando left angrily. I figured out Tala and her brother Dante had powers over every other person aside from Fernando. This would

Alpha Herveaux’s POV The party would be starting in a few minutes from now. I wanted everything to be done and concluded in broad daylight. Once the sun sets, the children should be in bed, well-tucked and ready to sleep. As I stepped on the stairs that led to the sitting room, I realized the rugged floor had changed from black to golden. Astonished, I walked further in awe. I was so surprised and pleased within me. The chandeliers were polished, and the beautiful ice sculpture of the first werewolf was placed back where it used to be. The drapes, everything was changed. It didn't look like my mansion at all. “I felt Ashina with me yesterday. Did she really return? Only she can create and change things like this.” “I said it. You would be annoyed and order them to take them down and return it back to the way things were!” Fernando shouted angrily. Hell no, I loved the atmosphere, and the change gave me an uncompromised feeling of delight and inward happiness. “Who did this?” I c

Herveaux’s POV"I’m sorry, Tala." Your safety comes first to me and every member of my pack. I ended the party abruptly. I knew what I saw. That werewolf I just killed There will be many of them."Not now, Lowell!" I stopped him before he started his drama. "You brought us here to humiliate us?""The party is not yet over; give us a reason for ending it." We are not kids. You can summon and disperse without any reason."Alpha Lowell has always been on my trail; he might as well get it from me today. "He is right, why did you call it end? Is there something we need to know?"Why would I say that I was still? I saw something strange. Or I just do not feel like going on with the party."Nothing! If sound rude to you. Then my apologiesI dragged Tala off the stage with me. The murmuring among the people was severe, but no one dared question me further.Tala loosened her grip on me in anger. I didn’t want to hurt her. If I held her harder with the anger I felt, I could break her arm."

Samantha’s POV.The pressure was getting worse. Alpha Herevaux returned to the stage and attacked his brother with words. All hell broke loose when he had an official invitation. This would be on me.I was shaking with fear. Would I not end up where I didn’t want to?What if I remained as a slave at the other mansion? Maybe I would have found a way to escape!It's all Cervantes; I don’t even know if all he told me was true all these while the only friends I had were Tala and Brenda.After Tala left angrily, I also excused myself from the place. "Brenda, I need to speak with you." I begged anxiously."What is it that urgent?" she replied curiously. "Yes, if you want to leave this place and go to the human world, what would you need?"I asked her gently but accurately. Brenda smiled briefly. "There is nothing great about the human world, just stay here, Auriel," she patted me."No, I just want to know." I guess I wasn’t convincing enough. She needed more before she would tell."I heard

Samantha’s POV"You are the human form that day, aren’t you? Your hair and eye colors are just different. I know it’s you!" Beta Fernando grunted as he pulled me along with him."The car crash and the fight with the lone wolf you humans were cut in, I know it all vividly. You are lying, and I will prove you wrong!" He pushed me forward into the room.I was expecting the prison to be some scary place with a bar. Nice luck it was just a small closet that was locked."Your time here is limited!" he left. "Auriel!" I heard a voice whisper my name. "Its me!" I looked around but couldn’t see anything. The strange creature I saw was all feigned, and I know Daciana lied too. "Who are you?" I was terrified."It’s Draglun; I came to help you." I was relieved it wasn’t the Vargulf or whatever Alpha Herveaux mentioned earlier.Alpha Draglun opened the door. "Give me your hands." I was reluctant, the way Alpha Herveaux spoke inside the room, I don’t think he wanted to kill me."Daciana sent me to
