Alpha Jax"Who?" My curiosity was piqued. Scarlett sighed, lifting a barrier between us for a few seconds. I thought about my duffel bag with my tools and how Cane had gotten a hold of it. I was so ensnared in searching for Scarlett that I became lax about what was going on in my office. Anyone could have gotten inside and taken the bag, but I knew few had the balls to actually go through with it. In fact, I couldn't think of anyone who would dare to cross me."Isn't it obvious?" Scarlett heaved out another loud sigh, heading towards the couch. It was already dark outside, and my wolf wanted nothing more than to run under the moon beside his mate."It's hard to guess, Scarlett. I mean, look at what happened with Cane when I trusted him as my good warrior. It could be anyone at this minute; tell me who's on your mind." I felt like she was attempting to evade my question."Babe, have you noticed anything weird about any of your friends?" I briefly shut my eyes to stop myself from lashin

***Alpha Jaxon***I sat in my office behind my desk, staring at the office phone with an unwavering gaze. I was aware of Astra's presence as she stepped inside without knocking. I could sense her anger rolling out in waves. I didn't have to look at her to know that she was trying to choke up the urge to burn me alive."She fled before I took back my words." I started before she could even talk. I hadn't seen my mate for a whole night since she went to Astra's place to spend the night. I had someone follow her to make sure she arrived safely, and only then did I patrol the entire pack's borders in wolf form. I hadn't slept a wink, not when my mate wasn't in my house because of my uncontrolled speech."Took them back?" Astra bitterly chuckled, placing her hands on the desk as she stood in front of it."What exactly did you even say to her?" She squinted her eyes, her upper lip threatening to stretch upward.I chuckled, leaning on the back of the leather chair. "So you're angry at me wit

***Alpha Jaxon***I sat in my office, listening as my father chastised me for not telling him about the discovery of the warlock. He expected to be notified because he was filled with revenge for his mate. I sighed, burying my face in my hands, as the man went on and on about a father-son relationship. venting about how I had become different since Scar came back after the kidnapping."Are you even listening to me?" I lifted my face after the man banged on the desk, demanding my attention."I don't see why you're screaming in my office; you already know." I spoke dismissively, heaving a loud sigh."This used to be my office too; don't sit there and think you can just treat me however you want." The man ground out the words, staring right into my eyes. If it were another person, my wolf would have taken it as a challenge. Only blood would explain what happened there because my beast would have snapped."With all due respect, father, I am in no mood for this. We are trying to see whethe

Alpha Jaxon"What do you mean your breast ripper wasn't there in the morning?" The former alpha stood, with tension gripping everyone in the room. The utterance alone from me was enough to put every single werewolf in there on high alert. That particular information was only known to me until I decided to put it out there."I always look at all my weapons before leaving the office and every morning when I step in." They were like my fine jewelry, which I treasured. Since recovering them from Cane, I had made sure to confirm every day that they are locked in the office cabinet."And the locks? Were they tampered with?" Mr. Weller asked, adjusting his specs. The man had perfect vision but always said he felt the need to wear spectacles for fun."No, the door was locked, and so was the cabinet. I am the only one who has the keys; not even my mate has a spare." I had spent the entire day trying to figure out how the perpetrator got in. I was tempted to have Scarlett help me solve it, but

ScarlettI opened my eyes, squinting to adjust to the stream of light from a small window. The room smelt of blood and body fluids, coupled with a smell I hadn't forgotten."Silas." I whispered, looking around the small space. I didn't know what to feel at that moment, but one thing was certain: I wasn't afraid of the foolish alpha. In fact, I licked my lower lip in anticipation of tearing him apart, limb by limb. Jax's face flashed before my eyes, making my wolf whimper. I needed to know what Silas had planned, then I would contact him, my mate.Just then the door creaked open, allowing more sunlight to stream through. "Slept okay, my little slave?" The man mocked me, raising an eyebrow when I growled."Oh, and she finally got her wolf." He mocked me again, earning a louder growl from me."Where's Thiery?" I shifted on the seat, similar to the one Cane had tied me into. Chains bound my arms and legs, stopping me from making much movement. I couldn't wait to burn them while I looked a
