"I think I know what he did exactly that night, Felise," Razel said back with confidence. "That night... Ezra hides something from us. He took Lance's dead body to Aric's pack in exchange for his approval." "Approval for what exactly, huh, Razel?" Felise frowned, her voice sounded demanding. "Am I the only one who doesn't know what the hell is going on?" I could not help but grit my teeth as this is the kind of situation and conversation my wolf has been trying to avoid since we joined Aric's pack. The worst part is that I don't have anything to back me up in this kind of situation. I was about to say something, a lie to be precise, but my stepbrother preceded me. "He brought Lance's dead body to Aric and his wolves for both of you to be able to join his pack. And his men were the ones who burned the car and dumped Lance's body into the seashore. Tell me if my pack missed something based on what we've got, Ezra, " he replied. My feeble eyes could see her suspec

As soon as we stepped foot into the underground, I quickly put handcuffs on Felise and Razel's hands and tied them to the metal bars so they could not escape easily unless they have to shift into werewolves. "Ezra, what are you doing?" Razel blurted as he attempted to remove the handcuffs. "Let us go!" "I'm so sorry, Felise, Razel, but this is the only way for you two to be safe," I replied, my voice strained with regret after seeing them being locked up. "Please, stay here until midnight. I'll be right back." Felise was about to say something but I refused to listen to it and evacuated the underground. I made sure to lock the door and left afterward. An hour later, I arrived at Aric's den. Everyone, including our pack leader, was already standing in an open field, waiting for Rustom's pack to appear. The silence of the entire forest was deafening. My wolf could barely hear anything apart from their heartbeats. They're everywhere, feeling anxious. "I'm so s

I don't know how to explain this kind of sensation but as soon as he mentioned Aric's name, the human side of me chickened out all of a sudden. Without Ezra on my side, I felt weak and helpless. The courage that mustered me to barge into Aric's den shattered into pieces and disappeared into thin air. Then I gulp, searching for the courage that helped me reach the forest. I must do something about this, for Ezra's sake. He and his stepbrother believe in me. So I forced my feet to move forward. Everything around me is a mess. There is no way Aric's wolf could notice my presence right away. I mean, his mind could have been preoccupied with the result of the battle. "Perhaps you should proceed with the plan B, Aric," a man's familiar voice echoed in my ears. If I am not mistaken, he is Aric's right-hand man. I was about to reach out to the doorknob of Aric's chamber but was cut off because my wolf sensed something from their conversation. Before anyone could s

"What did you just say?" Razels mom blurted, "My son beat all of them? Why? Our son, is not that kind person, officer. He cannot even break a glass in our house." she insisted. Both of Razel's parents were skeptical of the accusation. It was written all over their faces. I, myself could not believe Razel could do such a thing to the rugby boys. They were a team. Needless to say, they have been close friends since the first day when the team was created. But then again, I cannot blame him to feel that way. He was right, none of them deserve his forgiveness. Our forgiveness. Let alone mine. "They all said nasty words to everyone in his family, including his parents. I am also the victim of defamation. Even if his parents will agree to a settlement, I won't." I move out of my seat and ask for a pen and a piece of paper. "Here's our attorney's name and contact number. I will let my legal team handle this case." I added, "Let's go, Razel." Rael hesitated for a few

"How about a bottle of beer and a slice of pizza?" I proposed. It was the least my conscience could do to put walls between the heavy tension between them. Ezra and Isadora fixed their gaze on each other so I did not wait for either of them to say something and slide into my room to get us some clothes. Then, I ordered a bottle of beer and a box of pizza online. While waiting for our order, the utter silence leads us to the living area. Isadora was seated across from me and Ezra. Still, their sharp eyes were fixed on others as though they had been reading what was running through their minds all this time. "Okay, here's what is going to happen, Isadora." Ezra finally spoke up, his voice remained calm but deep. "I don't trust your intention of approaching us. For me, you are hiding behind that mask. And I am going to unfold that by all means." "Come on, Ezra," I replied, trying to stay in the middle of the possibility. "Can you just forget about this, huh? I mea
