Chapter81Mary's POV.I had been really distant from the men these days. The truth remained that I wanted to be alone. I was still trying to reach out to Lucian. I knew he was alive, but the fact that I couldn't reach out to him was what bothered me.A knock on my door snapped me out of my thoughts, and made me twist my neck towards the door.From the scent, I could already tell who it was, but since I wanted to be alone, I kept quiet.They were Aric's men, and couldn't be trusted. I also didn't understand what was going on with my heart.Resisting Aaron was almost impossible no matter how I tried to recall the pain of the past, so I decided to stay away from him.The knock became constant, making me frown. If I didn't say anything, wasn't that supposed to give him the memo that I didn't want to speak to him.My heart squeezed when I thought about me abandoning him. I didn't know what he did to me, but each time Aaron was close to me, I got tingles I never thought I would get in years.

Chapter83 Mia's POV. I sat on my seat, anger filling my being. I knew that alpha couldn't be trusted, but I was desperate. I didn't like the fact that something else was going on.

I didn't go on the day of the invasion, and decided to go check on the shadow moon pack the next day. However, when I got there, I saw people trying to check whatever was left from the pack which was torn down. My eyes widened, and I rushed towards some of the pack members who were crying over their loss. “E-excuse me,” I stammered. “What happened here?” I asked, trying to understand what was going on. My heart was drumming faster than usual, and the need to know what happened took over me. The woman, and men looked at me with pain in their eyes, but none of them wanted to speak out. I could tell it was because of the pain they felt. “Our pack was attacked, and as you can see, we los

Chapter85Lucian's pov.I waited for Cookie to return, my heart drumming with fear. I didn't know if her mother would give us permission to stroll based on my health.I was slowly recovering, but she still insisted on the fact that she wanted me to rest.Martha was a strict woman, and I didn't know she would give us the chance to do what was needed. I was scared that things wouldn't go the way we planned, and sweat formed on my head due to that.A sigh left my lips, and creased appearing on my forehead. At this point, I didn't know what was going on anymore.The urge to go out there, and listen in on the conversation was something I didn't understand.As I pushed myself up from the bed, the door pushed open, and lo, Martha stood there with a puzzled expression on her face.“You said you wanted to go for a stroll with my daughter?” She asked with tossed brows which made me nod.

Chapter87Kira's pov.I took a deep breath, rushing to get done from where I was before I would be spotted. The guards were also having dinner, but that didn't mean they weren't alert.I jumped down, landing on my feet. It hurt because I hadn't walked for a long time. I looked around, but it didn't seem I had a way to escape.“What?!” I heard him yell, making me worry. I didn't know what was going on. I was worried about him spotting me.The next thing I saw caused me to turn pale, but I made sure to hide myself really well.Melody was pushed out of the pack house, making me gasp. Confusion filled my being. I didn't know what he was going to do, but watching her suffer because of me made my heart twitch.“Tell me where she is. Are you helping her escape?!” Aric yelled, making the girl shake her head.

Lucian's pov.My eyes widened when I heard what she had to say. My heart drummed like never before. I was confused on what to do."You mean she hasn't returned?" I asked with raised brows, and Martha nodded with tears in her eyes. It was almost dark. I had refused to come out for dinner because I thought Cookie would be there, but it turned out it wasn't as it seemed."What happened? She said she was going out with you. Did you guys have a fight?"

It's not like her to not come back by this time...." Martha trailed, sobbing already.I was thinking of the words to soothe her. Fabricating a lie wasn't as easy as I thought. However, when I thought I had the perfect one, Martha
