Natalia's POVOne moment, I was crying over Cressida, the next moment, Luca was by my side, pulling me away from her. I didn't look, but I knew that someone else took the body, and Luca pushed my face to his chest, hugging me tightly, while I cried silently. Did I really just lose her? And she died saving me. I was not worth her sacrifice, not even a tiny bit."It's okay, Natie. It's okay." He whispered against my head softly. But how could this be okay? She was fucking innocent. She did nothing to deserve it. I felt shittier that I had ever felt before. I had a tendency to come into people's lives, and make it more difficult, even though I didn't mean to. Now a good omega had ended up dying for my sake.I had felt Aaron coming to me before, but he suddenly went somewhere else, and Luca met me instead. My heartbreak for Cressida had been overwhelming me that I wasn't too focused on his emotions anymore. But then I began to hear the sounds of thuds and punches, and I froze. I wanted to

Natalia's POVAaron touched my heart last night with his words, and the highlight of the night was when he told me that he loved me. I was feeling so unworthy, so guilty, until he talked me out of it, and I felt all the love he had for me. But this morning, I still find my thoughts lingering around, especially when I thought of Cressida. I need to pay her family a visit, but I was feeling too guilty to do so.I got up and walked to the mirror, and I wasn't surprised to see that I looked horrible. I got my heat last night, and it was supposed to be the best, but it ended up being one of the worst with all the bad things that happened. Aaron and I had sex numerous times, as I still felt horny after, but it even added to my guilt. Someone died for my sake, and here I was having sex with my mate. I felt so selfish and not deserving of the sacrifice.A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts, and I went to open the door. I smiled a little when I saw Luca standing there with a mug of

Aaron's POVIt's been four days since the incident with Kenneth happened at the pack, and the weight still lingered heavily in the air, especially today, which was set aside as the day to bury and honour the ones we lost.Natalia had been so quiet, and it seemed as if she was afraid of attending the funeral. I knew that she was feeling guilty again, especially because of Cressida. She had been with Cressida's little sister, taking care of her, showering her with love and affection. It wasn't unusual for Natalia to take care of children, but she seemed to be bonding with this one. I wondered if it had something to do with her guilt.My Luna was strong, and I knew that it would take a little while more, but I knew that she would eventually find herself. She would eventually be happy, and I would do everything in my power to make sure of that.Hours later, after the funeral was done, we came back to the pack house. Natalia, Luca, Cassandra and I gathered at the dining table, and food was

Natalia's POVMy legs were shaking, my voice was cracked and tears was falling from my eyes. I didn't know when we got here, but I was standing in front of one of the corners of the wall, and Aaron was behind me, fucking my senses away.I could not count the number of times I had come today, and my body was already weak. I blamed myself for putting him up to the challenge, and now he was not letting me go. What more? Each time, I would tell myself that this would be the last, but anytime he touches me, and I feel the tingles from his touch, my traitorous body would give in.This was absolute madness. It was as if I had provoked the wolf in him. We had done it at his table, on his chair, on the floor, while standing, and now, resting on wall. How come I had not passed out? Maybe it was because he devilishly gave me little breaks in between to catch my breath, just so he could continue.He found his release inside of me again, and I followed shortly after. He then rested his head on my

Luca's POVIt was evening already, and Alpha Aaron had ordered me to bring Kenneth out of the dungeon.Actually, Kenneth had been moved from the usual dungeon to a room completely painted white, with no windows, no furniture and a small white door. He was given food once a day with a white place from a small opening there, and what more, the food was usually white or almost white.Alpha Aaron explained that the room was more of a physiological torture than a physical one. The longer a person stays there, the more it messed with the mind. I read on it myself, and I found out that it could be quite terrifying.He would struggle in his solitude, his eyes will get strained and tired from the bright white light, and without sunlight he would not be able to differentiate between day and night, making him lose sense of time. It disorients the mind, it will break him until he loses sense of who he is. Reality would slip away from him, and he would start to hallucinate.Well, the Alpha would go
