Rune. I took Soph’s advice and tried my hardest to stay away from Kane, which felt like the hardest thing I ever had to do since we shared a room and couldn’t even talk to each other. Yes, I was still mad at him for what he did, but over the past four days since that night, my anger had died down and I was only mostly annoyed that he didn’t try to apologize to me.Looking on the brighter side, it meant Soph was right about Kane staying away from me since he thought I was angry with him. Our situation made it easy to have the meeting for the mission and how it would go down. Myself, Soph, Kimi, and everyone involved, were counting the hours till the m would be set in action, and as the day drew closer, my heart beat faster. I didn’t think I’d be capable of going through with it, but every time I voiced my concern, Soph and Kimi would calm me down and tell me everything would go according to the plan. Their words helped, but just a little—at least until they left and I was alone wit

Rune. We didn’t get caught. At least up until we infiltrated the dungeon. It wasn’t by any means an easy task, but with the rigorous planning, we were able to go in undetected. The dungeon was nothing like I imagined it to be. Surely, it was an underground building with huge iron rods here and there that made up most of the building. With cells that were equipped with silver doors making it impossible for the wolves held inside to escape even in their wolf forms. It was dark and eerie, and the overall stench of the place could send normal humans into a heart attack, but I had expected it to be smaller and tight. “What are you looking at? Keep moving!” The hefty guard in charge barked at Soph and me, causing the tray in my hand to falter. Soph and I disguised ourselves as serving guards for the prisoners, and thankfully, we found a way to situate Aaron at the first gate and Rodney at the second gate, or else it would’ve been impossible for us to make our way in. The guard in charge

Kane. There was nothing I loved more than playing my role as Alpha. I’d been at it for years and I never thought I needed a break until Jett’s interruption in my plans. I wanted to spend time with Rune to make up for everything that had happened in the past days, but I couldn’t do that. I released a sigh, pulling myself out of my thoughts and focusing on Irem, one of the squad commanders of the pack. Irem and his squad were out patrolling and they came across a freshly dug hole just a stone’s throw away from our border, with lots of charms in it. It was the first I heard about such a thing even from the other alphas, which only added to the severity of the case. “We’re being targeted, and we can’t tell who’s targeting us,” Irem said and I scoffed. “You can’t tell? Isn’t it quite obvious?” I asked him and murmurs erupted. “Alpha, we can’t be so sure Alpha Levi is behind this,” Greyson said and I shot him a glare. The goddess was a witness that I never felt satisfied with the vic

Rune. Neither I nor Kane spoke about the situation. We didn’t bring it up or reference it in any way, making it seem as though it was just a fraction of my imagination. It wasn’t, of course, because I remembered vividly what I felt when I was met with the empty cells, and those prisoners’ words before I was pulled away, but in the two days since it happened, Kane hadn’t said a word to me and likewise; although I was curious to know how he’d salvage the matter, or when he would come to me with the truth. In the meantime though, I focused all my attention on the recent happenings of the pack, that is the full moon and the event that would follow. Caden’s punishment.On that account, I tried not to seem too disturbed by it for the sake of Soph, Kimi, and everyone who had been of help to me in some way concerning my meeting with Caden; for them, I put up an unbothered front, but I was bothered. I was worried sick about the outcome of my meeting with Caden and how it would play out. I

Rune. Upon my arrival to the field, Soph, Kimi, and I were well informed of our lateness from the death glares and overall horrible stares we got, everyone, staring at me instead of the wolf who was speaking.I didn’t let it bother me though, because I knew the wolves were hating simply because I was pregnant and they couldn’t punish me for Caden’s confession.The field had been prepared into an execution ground, with a small round elevated podium that looked like it could fit five people, and wooden spears around it serving as a fence to demarcate the criminal from the masses.We all stood around the wooden spears, forming a huge circle as we eagerly waited for Caden to be brought out.“Well, if all goes according to plan today, your name will be cleared and we’ll have to gear up for the next rumor,” Soph said, fanning her face as a drop of sweat rolled down her face, her voice drowning out other sounds around me.Kimi nodded with eyes so hopeful if anyone saw her they would think s
