Hunter heard a commotion from downstairs as he stepped into the lounge only to find Draken there and the whole family present. He felt left out. Draken saw Hunter and he pulled to his feet. He tipped his head before walking out. Hunter glared at his retreating before stepping outside with him. "What?" Hunter said sharply as Draken regarded him with narrowed eyes. "You could've informed me that Silvia was with you. Do you realize you wasted three of my days while my pack was left behind unprotected?" Draken grated as Hunter tilted his head. "If you don't trust your warriors with your pack then they are useless," Hunter said plainly, causing Draken's jaw to tick. "Just a reminder. You offered yourself on a silver platter to be King's son-in-law. He might not like it if he finds you messing with a witch, better enlighten him that you're searching for Alonso before the King thinks of something stupid. He might have his men keeping eyes on you," Draken said coolly as Hunter gnashed hi

The bruises on her skin have faded away and she looked a bit refreshed, not her ghost-like appearance where she resembles a corpse most of the time. Her silky black hair was long reaching her hips. They were as straight as an arrow moving softly with the humming breeze. She was walking back and forth with an emotionless face. Her pace was calm and composed as if she was deep in thought. She was wearing one of Aurora's sundresses. Her eyes fixated on the ground. He also noticed that her slippers lay near the bench as she walked on the grass barefoot. Hunter's mind went back to the scene where she provoked him deliberately and he shook his head. He didn't want to ponder on it more. There were more crucial matters to deal with. Hunter still stood there watching her. She was small and fragile but he won't say the same for her mind. From what Hunter could gather Silvia was sharp, witty, and extremely clever. She ain't no damsel in distress. The game she played on Hunter was competent.

Hunter breathed in deeply. Closing his eyes for a brief second he opened them before stepping out of the car. The guards came forward taking the car keys from him as Hunter bounded inside the huge castle-like mansion. The last time he was here was to rescue Draken and ended up sealing the deal with Alpha King. Alpha Waylen has tried to invite Hunter over multiple times and each time Hunter would come up with an excuse but as the time was cutting off shorter he had to visit the palace just so he could know what was going on in King's head. The chief bowed slightly in respect to Hunter and Hunter didn't even throw him a glance. "The king is in the lounge," Chief Fernando said as he escorted Hunter to the lounge where the King was sitting. Hunter's gait was powerful, his shoulders squared as power oozed out of his aura in waves. Hunter noticed that the King's health has deteriorated even more. He looks fragile but the arrogant ecstasy of power was still plastered on his face. "Co

"No one doubts me. Yes. Yes." A fleeting pause. "Yes, I'll keep in contact," She said and after that, there was slight shuffling followed by silence. Hunter stepped back glaring at the door as vicious lava began to boil inside him and all he saw was red. He could kill her then and there. Dispose of her body and tell his family that Alonso had abducted her. It would be easy. He'll deal with his family. He should kill her now before it becomes a bigger problem. Now he knows that his instincts weren't wrong and she was working for Alonso all along pretending to be naive and all in front of his family. That deceitful little thing. He was gnashing his molars in rage. Hunter took yet another step back as he shoved his fingers through his hair. Breathing in deeply he quietly walked away from her room before he ended up doing something he would regret later. Once inside his room, he poured himself cognac, getting rid of his jacket he sat on the couch sipping his drink in the dark sile

Hunter barged inside only to find a pool of blood in which dead bodies lay and to his relief, none of them belonged to his pack. Sheer silence echoed amidst the massacre. Rasmus' scent was thick in the air but he wasn't there. Hunter further walked inside and then to the second floor from where he was hearing grunts and cries. Panic surged in. Though he knew Rasmus won't go down so easily no matter how strong the enemy was, still he was worried sick for his brother. Hunter kicked open the door of the huge hall and in front of him stood Rasmus and a couple of warriors from the Moon pack while two men were tied with silver chains and they were kneeling on the floor. "Rasmus," Hunter breathed as if life came back to his soul. "Hunter," Rasmus' brow raised in surprise before his eyes followed the girl standing behind Hunter. "What are you doing here? Why is she here? It's not safe for Silvia," Rasmus said, walking over to them. Hunter noticed blotches of blood on his face a
