Chapter 10Larrissa"Do you think you can handle him? Fucking chicken out if you can't."I heard the words echo in my head as I walked back mindlessly, following the lead of a brunette wolf. He said nothing as we walked up the stairwell, leading to what I assumed was my room. He walked faster than I could keep up with, but I followed the best I could. The hallway was long with a hint of magenta, olive and primrose, just like the alley and the alpha's study room.He finally stopped at the end of the hallway. There was a full length window where a wall should have been, providing illumination for the otherwise dark hall. Although there were a few lights hanging from the ceiling, they were turned off. I stopped just behind him, leaning slightly to see the plain oak door."The Alpha has instructed that you stay here." He finally spoke. His voice was surprisingly soft, but empty nonetheless. He stepped away from the door so that I could enter. Heaving a sigh again, I reached for the doorkn

CHAPTER 12Larissa's POVI felt my heart in my chest staring at all the weapons littered in the bright room, completely frozen in fear and surprise. There were blood trails on the concrete floor and whatever walls peeked through were painted grey. The said walls were coated with multiple racks of swords and guns and arrows. By a tall shelf were smaller knives, and it scared the hell out of me when he wouldn't stop staring at it. Was he going to stab me with them? The possibilities were endless.Slowly, I shifted my attention to him sitting cross legged on the ground, only then did I notice the box of first aid supplies beside him and him low grounts while pinching his nostrils. He must really be hurt, the cut on his idle arm was refusing to dry up."Oh my, how exactly did you get so hurt?" I mumbled, letting out a small sigh before crouching to his eye level. He gave me a small side eye before looking away."You said you could help.""Push your bangs aside. I… let me take a look at it

Chapter 14Kaden's POVI was squatting behind one of my favorite trees in the woods, patiently waiting for my prey to come out. It was a tall deer with enchanting eyes, I had sworn it wouldn't escape my sight. But it did, and I was determined to catch it. It also had a peculiar scent, as if it had been infused with something I couldn't make sense of yet.But that wasn't the only reason I was here. I needed to put an end to the mockery of that bastard and his pack. Seeing as he was a fool with nine lives, I knew it would take more than the same old attack to destroy them once and for all.It was an early afternoon, but the sun rays had been effectively blocked out by the canopy of branches and leaves formed by the tall trees. I heard soft rustling and I ducked out quickly, drawing out an arrow from the rack behind me and I shot it immediately. There was a loud thud that followed and a loud clap behind me.I spun around with yet another arrow in my bow before pulling it down when I saw

Chapter 16Kaden's POV The faint drops of rain hitting my window sill was enough to pry me awake from my drowsiness, as sleep seemed to have eluded me tonight. The lights were turned off, yet I could make out even the tiniest details in my study. The bookshelf stood like its own force towering above every other piece of furniture in the study, and the pile on the desk appeared like its own monstrousity. I rose my head from my makeshift pillow, staring off at the window that was draped with thin white curtains. The soft glow of the moon would have made it more beautiful. Perhaps as beautiful as the first night spent in Amaya's arms.The thought of that woman gave me the ick, but what disturbed me more was Larissa's tear filled expression. It pissed me to no end when my wolf had suddenly gone quiet after locking her up to solitude. She deserved it, everything she was getting. The heavens needed me to met out a befitting punishment for such a cheat, so why wouldn't my wolf simply comply

Chapter 18Larissa's POV It has been two days since Declan's fever. Contrary to the toddler that had been whimpering and crying that night, the one who happily followed me to kindergarten was far from ill. He was skipping all the way, I couldn't contain my own happiness seeing him as active as ever.I drew the broom in my hands across the marbled floors in the living area that afternoon, smiling to myself. Although I couldn't see it, the sun must have been shining overhead. The skies from the open window blinds were a pale yellow that gave the weather some radiance. If the sun wasn't so hot, it would have been the perfect weather to have a pool party with my family. When I had one.Alpha Kaden hadn't stepped out of his room all day. His breakfast still sat on the dinning table, but I could care less. I'd asked Gwen to take care of it for me. I didn't want to cook for such a bigoted jerk, but I couldn't say the same about his obsession with cleanliness. He could throw me out for real
