Petal's POVXavier knew that no one bargained with Ema but he had to this time. How could three bottles satisfy him? Xavier stares at the clothes. He knew they were quite enough to have fetched him more than three bottles but he did not understand why Ema is offering him only three bottles –and he needs more than three bottles. "You know how close me and Leonard are? And you also know that the three bottles you are willing to offer me won't be enough for me. It won't even satisfy me enough." Xavier said, hoping to find the good side of Ema. "There's nothing like friendship when it comes to my business." Ema replied nonchalantly rather than reminding him. "And besides, you are a friend to Leonard and not me. I have told you how much the clothes can fetch you but you still want to bargain with me because you feel you are being cheated. Do I look like I am going to cheat you, eh?" Xavier is still not yet satisfied at the response that Ema had given him. But he knew that no matter what

Petal's POV.While wondering what the little girl would be doing outside but his time of the day and also wondering how she got into the our territory, she immediately spoke out to me.."Please, don't leave me here. Please." She begged as she clutched my knee, my heart started aching immediately."Of course not, I won't leave you here. Would you like to stay with me tonight? Tomorrow, I'll take you back to your parents." I asked as she stared at me with those big eyes and nodded in affirmation."Great!!!!" I exclaimed while she flashed me a bewitching smile.As for the both of you, just tell me what I'm supposed to do with you?". I asked them nonchalantyly unsure of what I'm supposed to use them for.Nevertheless I carried the little girl and was about walking back to my room when Logan came to where the scene happened recently."What are you doing outside by this time Petal and what…"Logan trailed off as he scanned the sorrounding and fixed his eyes in the little girl with me and the

Alpha Ansel's PovI don't understand!! Nothing makes sense anymore!Why does it have to be now that the Alpha of Crimson pack would suddenly remember Petal's mum that died years ago?Petal had a hand in this!! I knew it for sure."Dad, you have to meet the Alpha of Crimson pack before this battle." I advised as we were all struggling with our thoughts after the messenger left."No, all we have to do is ensyee that the gammas and warriors are getting proper training. We can't go to see that Alpha, what if he lays an ambush or something that could cause harm to use even before the main fight." Dad cautioned weakly as beads of sweats rolled down his cheeks."I suggest we all calm down and take everything but by bit." My mother, the Luna advised and we all sighed in unison."When is the battle date again?" Star silver suddenly asked."It's in 3 days time!." Dad hooted and we all gasped."I'm out then to make sure the gamma's are going in the right procession of training. Ansel, could you

PETAL'S POV.All my days in this pack have been favorable and delightful, the only exception was that this Amanda girl was still lurking around me.I had begun getting famous in this new pack, all duties were going in sync as everyone worked together in unity and team spirit.I loved it, I loved the strength that we all worked with but a fact I couldn't deny was that eyes were always fixated on me because of Amanda.She had grown very fond of me during the days and with each passing second, I kept my eyes on the lookout for attacks from Crimson Pack but what baffled me was that it was already getting close to a week and Crimson Pack hadn't attacked yet."Hey, Petal." Logan called as he grinned from ear to ear like a teenager in love."Hi Logan." I replied and returned the smile ferociously."What are you up to?." He said as he stared at me.I was just looking out the city and staring at these places where I could now call home."Nothing! I was even just about to go and make food for Am

Petal's POV"They sent you? Who are they?." I asked stopping low so we were both at eye level with each as I peered into her beautiful glistening eyes.Your eyes show the strength of your soul!"I can't tell you!." She stated and closed her eyes like someone in deep thought.Something was wrong! If they sent a girl as young as Amanda to pry for and she was already here then no one in this pack was safe.That reminded me that I saw her coming in from the pack gate. She went somewhere…….oh dear goddess…let it not be what is brewing up in my mind."What do you use to communicate with them?. I asked.There was no need asking who they were because it's only two packs on earth that wanted me and only one had even had the effrontery to attack.Mr Ryker's pack didn't even know where I was at so they couldn't be the one.As she was about to answer me, she held her stomach with a horrified look on her face.Following the trail of her eyes down to her stomach, I saw a spread of blood stain on her
