Chapter 61
Jace.
We quickly turn to the voice and relief washes over me. He is awake. “Thank Goddess, Dad?” Ana happily exclaims, rushes to Noah and instantly engulfs him in an enthusiastic embrace. Noah chuckles and weakly wraps his
feel? hand around her. “I was so scared Dad, I thought I lost you. How do Come sit down, you shouldn’t be standing just yet” She rushes with her words with concern making the man laugh more.
you
Noah gently holds her shoulders and adorably stares at her. Once again, I feel discomfort in my heart. She is special and I am the only one not appreciating her the way she deserves. I need to make peace with her before we go to the upcoming mission.
“I am sorry I let you down. I let everyone down. I should have been brave enough to sense I was being played. They didn’t hurt you, did they? Sorry for not
protecting you, honey, Forgive Dad, okay?” He remorsefully whispers, and after scrutinizing her for any signs of injuries or discomfort, he pulls her back to him for another hug.
“I am okay Dad, thank you for waking up” Ana mutters, and they stay in the hug for a couple of minutes before pulling away.
Noah glances our way and slowly walks to us. My dad quickly pulls a chair for him and he sits down with a sigh. My mate settles herself behind the King and wraps her arms around his neck just like she did with my Dad minutes ago.
“I should have known” Noah sighs, stressfully wiping at his face.” It’s messy, huh?” He glances at Dad and he nods with a sad chuckle.
“You have no idea” Dad mutters and my mind goes to the packhouse. The queen will surely harm Chase and El. They were the closest to me and if she sensed we were alive, she would surely interrogate them. Too bad I can’t risk using mind link because I will be discovered. I just have to trust the Goddess for their protection until everything is settled.
“How are you feeling, Is your wolf awake?” Ana stretches her neck to look into her father’s eyes and he shakes his head In dismay.
“No, baby, not yet. But soon he will be here, I am passed the critical stage” Noah hopefully mutters, indifferently staring at the witch.
“Mommy?” Liam’s voice reaches my ears and I run to the room we are currently using. The boy is awake and fearfully glancing around.
“Sweetheart” I coo, picking him up and he rubs his eyes to clear them from sleep. ” Are you okay, buddy?” I kiss his cheek and ruffle his hair. I never got the chance to trim it. I guess my boy is going to keep the long hair until we are out of trouble. “Mmmh” Liam nods wrapping his little hands around my neck. He is not as lively
as before. My son appears sad.
“Do you want your mommy?” I ask and he repeatedly nods, as his eyes water. So he misses Ana.
“Yes, I want my mommy” Tears start rolling from his eyes and Ana must have sensed it because she comes running to the room.
“I am here, sweetheart. Mommy is here, okay?” Ana cradles our son on her chest and Liam’s cries intensify. I silently watch as she whispers sweet nothings to Liam until the boy calms down. I think I should do the same with her.
In no time, the boy falls back asleep but Ana doesn’t put him down.
Can we talk, please? It will only take a minute “Ana silently watches me before muttering a ‘sure. When she places my son back on the bed, I take her hand and lead her outside through the back door.
{Warning; Mature content ahead}
As soon as we reach the most secluded place away from the cabin, I turn to my mate and lovingly stare at her. She is as beautiful as always, only that she seems sad and she has slightly lost a couple of weight.
“Why did you bring me here, Jace?” Ana tucks her hands in the back of her shorts pockets and wearily stares around.
I hold Ana’s waist and gently pull her to me. Tucking away the stray strands of hair behind her ear, I gently run my thumb on her cheek and she deeply sighs.
“I am sorry for pushing you away. I love you, please forgive me?” I whisper staring into her beautiful eyes. My heart hums in anticipation as I stare at the woman I have loved all my life.
“I understand, Jace. It’s not your fault” Ana responds looking away and I gently hold her chin and turn her head back to me. The tears welling in her eyes make me understand just how undeserving I am of her. Why can’t I just behave like a mate is expected to?
So, wordlessly, I gently press my lips on hers and softly kiss her. Ana doesn’t respond to the kiss and instead, I smell her tears. I don’t know how to explain to her that I feel horrible for being a jerk so I decide to show her through my actions.
I gently pull her head to me and deepen the kiss. When her tears stop, she starts returning my kiss and I silently sigh in relief. I slowly move my hands on her sides and softly caress her body through her t-shirt. Slowly, Ana wraps her hands around me and that’s the go-ahead I needed.
My hands unhurriedly lift her t-shirt until they are touching her bare skin. Her body shudders and she kisses me with more vigor. I pull away from the kiss and stare at her lustful eyes that undoubtedly mirror mine. Her breaths are forced and her cute lips are swollen. The sweet scent of her arousal is intensely in the air.
It drives my wolf crazy.
“Let me love you, please” I place a gentle kiss on the mark on her neck and she shivers clutching to me tightly. “Let me show you how much I love you, Okay?! pull my head to stare at her hooded eyes and she silently nods.
Fighting my wolf for control, I carefully strip my mate naked and gently lay her on the soft grass. Gradually, I lick every part of her, from her head to her toes. I lovingly worship my mate’s body and when I am done, Ana is panting and begging me for more.
After making love to her again and again, Ana tiredly lays in my arms contentedly.
As the two lovers bask in the afterglow of their lovemaking, they fail to notice a pair of dark eyes intently staring at them.

Chapter 62
Jace.
Something doesn’t seem right. I heighten my senses but I feel nothing, not even a movement, why do I feel restless though?
“Jace, My wolf feels uneasy” Ana whispers, putting on her shirt and I quickly do the same.
“Me too baby, do you smell anything?” My mate’s eyes turn black and she releases a deep warning growl. The shirt she just wore seconds ago is torn in shreds when she shifts into a big black wolf.
Ana starts taking deliberate steps, advancing deeper into the bushes and I follow her in my human form. Not more than twenty steps ahead, a figure emerges from the bushes, and Ana’s wolf instinctively leaps on him.
“I come in peace, Gia” Leo shouts, showing his neck in submission and another figure emerges after him. A woman in dark clothing.
She is not a wolf. She has the same aura as Kyle. So she is the witch Kyle sensed earlier. The one Leo has been using to enter the royal pack back and forth. without being noticed.
“What do want?” I venomously spit out, Ana’s wolf already retreated but she is still on guard. Leo sits upright and for the first time, I look at him in a different light. My fucking brother.
It doesn’t matter anyway, because we were meant to be rivals from the beginning. “Nice to meet you too, little brother” Leo chuckles getting up and I glare at him. “I am not your fucking brother, Leonardo. What the hell do you want?” I grit out moving beside my mate who is still growling lowly.
“The old man thinks otherwise, Jace. He sent me here to take you and Ana with me back to Canada. Maya knows that you are alive and she is currently in this pack” Leo utters, shrugging nonchalantly.
“And then what? Hide for the rest of our lives while that bitch tortures innocents?” I angrily yell, staring at his pathetic face. Does Andrew think I am stupid? He made his bed and he won’t be spared just because he rescued us. If he doesn’t drop that bitch right now, I won’t be able to help when Noah decides to tear him apart.
“I am not foolish, okay? Do you think I want to do that shit, bow down to the filthy bitch that murdered my mother?” Leo bitterly chuckles, scrunching his face in disgust. “I want her gone for good, and that’s why I came here with a proposal” He lowers his voice and shares a glance with the woman beside him. Without being told, I can tell this woman is a dark witch. The aura surrounding her is shady and that’s more reason Ana’s wolf is still on edge.
“What makes you think we will trust you, Leo? With all the shit you have done?”
Fuck I hate this guy. Ever since I saw him holding my son and smirking at me like I was some looser to him. Let alone lusting over my mate. I can never trust this Idiot.
“What choice do you have Jace? Do you think the four of you will win against the thousands of guards she appointed to guard the palace? Your friends are heavily guarded, and now that she knows there is a possibility of you saving them, the security around them will multiply” I don’t even want to know how he knows our plan.
“We have that covered Leo, we don’t need you” I dismiss patting my mate’s back and she leans toward me.
“Oh! I see” Leo chuckles and dips his hands in his pants pockets.” So you think your lame plan will help you? Your witch is still a rookie who can only hold a spell within an hour limit. In order to rescue those men, you only need one trip and twenty minutes at most. With the heavy security around, you won’t even manage to exit after you enter. What makes you think your planned more than one trip won’t risk your lives?” Leo gives me a smug look and even though whatever he saying makes sense, I don’t want to admit it.
“My witch here can teleport a hundred-plus people without breaking a sweat. You won’t even have to fight because she will also perform a spell to render the guards unconscious for some minutes until at least we are far gone. She can also create an invisible spell around us and no matter how much they search, they won’t find us. Unlike what your rookie did. We found you without even trying” Leo brags with a proud smirk on his pathetic lips.
“If that is the case, why don’t you just use the witch and finish the queen off?” I wonder, staring at him.
“You don’t know what you are fighting against, do you?” Leo chuckles.
“No. Tell me” I shake my head, taking a step forward.
“Maya is protected. No one knows yet, but she recruited an army of dark witches. for herself and it’s just a matter of time before they are here and everything will turn upside down. She has the council wrapped around her finger and no matter what she says, they will listen. Lastly, the guards around her right now are the men who have been protecting her for years. None of them are Noah’s men but the rogues she recruited and trained when she was supposed to be dead” Wow! I didn’t know that.
“Did Andrew tell you that?” I enquire with furrowed brows.
“Yes. And the old man doesn’t know it but Maya is just using him. When the witches arrive, she won’t need him anymore. Noah is the only person who can end her, and he can’t do that by himself, he needs his army behind him. I need her dead at all costs, that’s why I am here” I chuckle at Leo’s words because I find them absurd.
“Then what? After she dies you challenge Noah for the throne?” I laugh staring at my wretched brother. He wants power yet he doesn’t know the first thing about
fighting. If I can take him down in minutes, he will just be a piece of cake to Noah. I wonder why Andrew didn’t train him like he did with me. Maybe Leo is good at being a billionaire and having people do shit for him.
“I will tell you what I want later, but right now you need to make up your mind and let me know whether you are taking my offer or not. We will give you twenty minutes to discuss with your group and give us the answer”
“Shit they are here” The witch exclaims shifting our attention.

Jace.
“Shit, do something before she spots us” Leo instructs the witch and she starts chanting stuff I don’t understand. Probably creating an invisible wall around us like Kyle did.
“Done. They can’t see us” The woman exclaims and we watch as three cars stop metres away from our position. The guards from the first car rush to the middle car and open the doors on both sides.
“What about about the cabin?” I ask the woman standing next to Leonardo and she smirks at me. My son is in that cabin and they can’t touch him. He is innocent in all this.
“I got it covered, Alpha boy” The witch drawls, causing Ana to growl, baring her teeth at her. Isn’t she supposed to be with Leo?
Andrew is the first to get out of the before rushing to the other side to hold the door for Maya. It must have taken them a great deal to drive in this part of the forest. Why didn’t they just shift in wolf form? Or is it just because they are royalty they don’t want to tire their wolves? That’s why Noah is better in all ways.
“You better pray you didn’t interfere with my plans, Andrew. There is no way that bastard of a son and a dying man could have escaped” The bitch screams in Andrew’s face and the man remains silent. If he can’t talk back to her, can he even stop the queen from harming the innocents? Depending on him is pointless.
“I told you it’s just a matter of time. Why can’t he see she doesn’t care” Leo chuckles but I don’t share his amusement. I am a fucking bastard to the pretend king, thanks to my whoring mother.
“I think you now understand how serious this is. Go talk to the rest and give us feedback” Leo mutters when the group trudges more to the forest. Luckily for us, they are taking a different route from our cabin.
I know Leo is right. Even though It’s risky to collaborate with the enemy, we gotta do what we have to. I hope the rest will agree to this. Ana nudges my arm and without wasting a second, she dashes through the bushes to the way we came from.
“Absolutely not ” My dad is the first person to oppose after explaining
everything to them.
“They are already here dad, we either act now or we won’t have that chance again” Ana desperately says. This is the first time she has talked since we got here. Apart from worry, I don’t sense any other disturbing emotion from her so, I am assuming we are good.
“True Alpha Edward. Desperate situations call for desperate measures. The sooner we save them, the better chance we have to fight back. We need to assemble wolves who are loyal to me and train them before her witches locate us. We don’t have time” Noah says and Dad nods with a sigh sitting back down.
“Have you thought what Leornado will demand in return?” Dad glances at Ana and I feel fear consuming me. If he thinks he will come for what’s mine, he will have to fight me to death.
“Let’s worry about that later, I need my beta and guards here as soon as possible,” Noah says in a final tone and no one argues more.
“Okay, Dad. We are up” Ana assures handing Liam to Noah but the boy tightly grips his mother’s clothes.
“No. Don’t leave me Mommy” Liam shouts and starts crying again. He hasn’t allowed anyone to hold him apart from Ana. He even refuses to look my way. It’s unlike him.
“Baby, Grandpa will take care of you for a while. I won’t take long I promise” Ana coos, kissing his head but it’s fruitless.
“No. I want my mommy” Liam hides his face in Ana’s chest and cries harder.
“It’s okay, sweetheart. Stay with them, we don’t know what to expect so it’s better if we don’t put all the eggs in one basket” Dad says, pulling them in a hug.
“But what if”
“Your son needs you Ana, he should be your priority” Noah chimes. cutting her off. My mate sighs and takes a seat with Liam on her lap. I also think it’s better if she stayed. That way, I will be at peace knowing they are safe. I walk to Ana and gently kiss her temple and my son’s cheek.
“I love you. Take care of him, okay?” I whisper patting Liam’s head and he peeks at me through his fingers. He must have missed his mum a lot to behave this way. “Protect your mommy for me, okay champion?” I gently smile at my boy when he lifts his head and frantically nods at me.
He surely loves his mum more than me.
“Be careful, yeah? we will be waiting for you Jace, don’t disappoint us” Ana’s heart speeds when she says this as her eyes stare at me with worry. I can feel her uneasiness through the mate bond too.
“I know. I will come back to you” I hold both of them in a tight embrace, praying that the Goddess will help me keep my promise.
We are walking to our supposed deaths and we can only hope for the best.
“Let’s go” Kyle announces and I pull away from the two people who mean everything to me.
I must come back to them, no matter what.
Authors note:
Thanks so much for reading,
I appreciate and love you all.
Here are some clarifications from the comments,
Someone asked; Why Kyle was a rookie yet he came from the witch kingdom.
Answer; That’s because the witches don’t want to involve themselves in the werewolves’ war, thus they discreetly sent Kyle to help Noah. A powerful witch would have easily blown the cover that they came from the King, and bring chaos between the two kingdoms.
Second; Why does Leo know Maya is using Andrew?
Answer; Easy, A woman who is willing to kill her mate and daughter, what else can she do? It’s clear Maya doesn’t value relationships, and her being with Andrew means she wants him for something.
-If she cared enough for Andrew, she wouldn’t have ordered the death of Jace knowing he is Andrew’s son. Let alone kill Andrew’s mate. She is certainly playing at something.
Lemme know if you still don’t understand anything else.
I have another werewolf book and I believe it’s super, I will direct you if you wanna read it.
It is called ‘Alpha Aiden And His Human Mate’
Love ya.
Chapter 64
Ana.
The room remains silent when they leave and I sigh staring down at Liam. He still has his face hidden and I don’t know why he is behaving this way.
“He can sense the stress you know. Every child feels safe with their mother” Dad says, softly staring at us and I kiss my baby’s head. How ironic? My mother wants me dead.
“I am sorry she did that to you, baby. I should have protected you but I fucking laid there uselessly” Dad whispers in exasperation, as he stares down deep in thought. I can’t imagine what is going through his mind. “It was not your fault Dad. I don’t blame you”
“But I should have been able to do something, baby. If something happened to you I…I..” Noah covers his eyes with his palms and sniffles. With a heavy heart, I walk to my dad and drape one arm around him. “It’s our duty as parents to protect our kids, not harm them. I am sorry she hurt you, baby. I will never let her do that to you again” Dad lifts his face to look at me and my heart breaks at his wet and red eyes.
Liam senses the sour mood too, because he wiggles from my arms, and when I let him down, he lifts his arms for my dad to pick him up. Given the chance, I wrap my arms around Dad and tightly embrace him.,
It’s not his fault that his mate is a bitch. We can’t change who people are.
“She will pay for hurting us. It’s just a matter of time” I whisper running my hands through his hair. He needs a shave. At least he is clean. compared to before.
“Don’t be sad, Grandpa, I will protect you too” Liam wraps his little hands. around my dad’s neck and I chuckle at his little gesture. He sure
understands what is going on.
“I know my little prince, no one will touch me when you are here” Dad answers pulling Liam to himself and I hold them both. We remain silent and after a minute or so, I remember they haven’t eaten yet.
*I will go make you something to eat. You also need your medicine, Dad” I pull away and my son does the same, and quickly gets off my dad’s lap. Liam trots to my side and grips my hand with his.
Goddess! Did something happen to my son when we left him with Alpha
Edward? Or maybe he overheard people talk about our kidnap or supposed death. It must be the reason he is this scared.
“Baby?,” I lift my son from the ground and he still has the same look. He appears uneasy and his heartbeat is fast. “Baby, mommy is going nowhere, okay? I am going to stay with you until you are big like daddy, yeah?” I coo, and his eyes instantly light up.
“And my baby is going to be super strong and he will protect mommy always, Is that right?” I kiss his cheek and he giggles. Thats it.
“Yes, mommy. I will be super strong” Liam exclaims, lifting his little hands in the air.
After preparing a couple of dishes with the company of my father and son, we settle around the small dining table and start eating. It makes me happy watching my father with etiquette like he used to do in the palace. The man is hungry.
“Eat some more” I add more meat to my dad’s plate when he finishes his food. He has gone days without eating and he needs the strength.
“Thank you sweetheart” He gratefully says, and resumes the second plate. “I want more too” Liam whines and I chuckle giving him more food even though he hasn’t eaten much.
“Of course baby” I feed my son and when he is full, he tiredly falls asleep in my arms.
“Can you feel your wolf?” I ask my dad after putting Liam in bed.
“Not yet dear, but I am not as weak as before” I nod clearing the table and after doing the dishes, we sit in the room and wait for the others.
After hours and hours of waiting, the first group finally appears. Kyle and Dad are the first ones to emerge with Unconciuos Fred and his son Damon.
“Goddess!” I fearfully exclaim, as Dad and I rush to them and I stagger at their condition. It’s a good thing my son is asleep. Liam would have freaked out at these horrid images.
Their bodies are completely bare and what breaks my heart is the sight of whip marks on them. They were definitely whipped with silver-laced whips because their skin is peeled off and is rotting away. They are covered with dry blood and numerous wounds.
“Fuck” Dad mutters staring at his beta with guilty eyes. They are so thin
and appear lifeless. If we wasted any time, they would have died for sure.
“It is worse there, Ana. Those people are suffering. We will go for more” Jace’s dad says and they disappear again. It’s already dark outside. I hope Jace is okay.
“I am ashamed that woman is my mother” I blink away tears kneeling beside Damon. They didn’t do anything to deserve this. Goddess! Why do some things happen anyway?
“She will pay ten folds for this” My dad rushes to his room and comes back with the duffel bag containing the medicines. Without wasting time, we immediately get to business. My dad and I work silently on the battered bodies. First, we clean the wounds and disinfect them before injecting them with the antidote to eliminate the wolfsbane from their bodies.
As the night fades away, the two witches bring more injured men while Dad and I take care of them. Now I am glad that I stayed behind because it is hard work as it is. During the trips, I haven’t seen Jace and I wonder why he hasn’t appeared yet. Leo too.
“These are the last ones” Kyle announces when they bring two more guards. In total, we have a hundred and twenty-six injured men. Eighty of them are still unattended to because we ran out of medical supplies. The house is too small to accommodate all of them so they are littered outside the cabin.
This is a disaster.
“Where is Jace?” I ask Alpha Edward when he takes a sit beside Kyle.
“He went with Leo to the royal hospital for medical supplies”
“Oh, Okay” I mutter feeling worried for him. He can’t be found or I will die. What will I tell our son if his daddy doesn’t show up? I hope Andrew will man up to that bitch sooner.
“The queen took El and Chase, to set up a trap for Jace when she missed us home. I don’t know what is wrong with that woman.” Alpha stressfully sighs. I knew she would go for our friends when she missed us.
“Can you check on them, please?” I face Kyle but he tiredly shakes his head.
“I need to rejuvenate, princess. They will be fine”
It can’t be fine with Leo and Jace in the same room. But since there is nothing I can do for now, I pray to Goddess for his safety.
After another half an hour of waiting, Leo and his witch finally appear with two large plastic bags. That is not the important thing.
“Where is Jace?” I quickly ask walking to Leo’s side.
“Oh! His friends were taken and he didn’t want to leave without them”
“And you left him alone?” I almost yell at Leo. Doesn’t he have a heart? “We brought the medicines, didn’t we? The boy will be fine” Leo utters dismissively, walking past me and I share worried glances with Alpha Edward.
Was this his plan all along, to hurt my mate?

Chapter 65
Ana.
Oh! Goddess, If someone told me this is how my future would turn out to be, I would have laughed in their faces. This is not the world we had in mind at all. Jace and I had dreamt of a happy future.
I am tired of constant pain and heartbreaks. The bitter part is that I can’t let my distress show with my son here. My mood affects Liam too.
‘Give Kyle a minute, sweetheart, we are going for him after taking a break,” Alpha says and I nod taking off the bloody gloves. I need a break.
Walking out through the back door, I lean on a tree and look up at the moon. What is her plan? What does she think when she looks down at all the injured men scattered outside?
Why let one devious woman ruin her beautiful creations?
Will she allow Liam’s dad to be taken away from him too? Haven’t we suffered enough?
“I scented your tears” I look in front of me to see Noah approaching me. Instead of holding back, I cover my mouth with my palm and allow myself to break down. I don’t have to act strong in the middle of the night anymore.
“I know, baby, I will make everything right” My dad holds my cheek and remorsefully stares into my tired eyes. Noah silently kisses my head and pulls me into his arms.” Go have some rest, I will order Leo to bring your mate back. He can’t resist my command, no matter what” He gently rubs my back and I sigh inhaling his scent.
“I want you to train me, Dad. I will fight beside you when the time comes” My dad chuckles pulling away and he slowly wipes my tears.
“I thought you hated being ‘sweaty and sticky” He quotes my words and I laugh when I remember how naive I was. Everything changed when they took my dad. That’s when I realized this world is not for the weak, and we can’t always depend on others for protection.
“I can’t lose you again, Dad. Not Liam or Jace” I lowly whisper.
“I know, you will not lose anyone else. I can feel my wolf now, and when I get my strength back, I am going to the palace and giving everyone the justice they deserve” Noah utters in determination and I shake my head.
“You know it won’t be easy right? Leo said she has an army of trained rogues and witches”
“We just have to end the leader and everyone else will retreat. Leave that to me. honey. Go have some rest. Your mate will be here when you wake up” I nod at my dad’s words and walk to the room my son is sleeping in.
I trust my father.
Laying beside my son, I try to ignore the uneasiness in my heart but it’s futile. I hold Liam tight to myself and bury my nose in his hair. His scent helps me sleep.
True to my dad’s words, when I wake up, I find Jace in the bed next to me. My mate is not sleeping but gently staring down at me. His eyes are red like he has been crying, and that’s when I feel it.
His distress, pain, and heartbreak, from the matebond.
“Babe?” I quickly sit up and I am face-to-face with him. Without a word, Jace grabs my head and kisses me. Unlike the other times when we kiss, this kiss is too soft and careful. His heartbeat is wild and the scent of his tears makes me pull
away.
“What’s wrong?” I tuck away the hair sticking on his forehead and he sighs licking his lips.
“I love you. No matter what happens, know that I love you with my life, Ana” He softly stares at me and gently presses his lips on my forehead.
“Jace, you are scaring me. Tell me what is happening?” I get up from the bed and
my eyes
widen when I see the blood on his clothes. How did I miss it? It’s not Jace’s but it smells familiar.
“What happened to them?” My voice quivers and I feel my knees weakening. She can’t keep doing this.
No.
“Come with me” My mate takes my hand and leads me out of the room. The more steps we take, the more dread I feel. My shaky hands tightly grip his and I try as much as I can not to cry.
Outside, among the wolves who are still being attended to by my dad and Kyle, Alpha Edward, Leo, and his witch are crouching beside one person and that’s where the strong scent of blood is coming from.
I untangle myself from Jace’s hold, run the remaining distance, and fall on my knees in front of Chase. The tears I have been holding heavily roll down blurring my sight.
“No Chase..” I whisper cradling his head on my lap. “We can save him, right? Please do something” I face Alpha, ignoring Chase’s torn jugular. His head is barely hanging on his neck and there is blood everywhere. His blood.
He can’t be dead.
“Chase, you need to wake up. What should I tell Liam? You two are friends, right?” I continuously tap his cheek but he doesn’t make a move. Goddess no.
“Ana, baby. He is gone” Jace’s father mutters prying me from my friend’s dead body. He was our childhood friend. Chase had a full life in front of him but that bitch didn’t care. What is her deal anyway?
“Come here” Alpha pulls me into a hug and I tightly clutch onto him. Everything was fine until Jace came back from that Alpha training. “Everything will be okay” He whispers running his fingers through my hair and I sniffle controlling my
tears.
What if I just go to the royal pack and kill that bitch in her sleep. Maybe I don’t need to train anymore. The more time we waste the more we invite more deaths. This could have been my son. If we didn’t get Liam first she would have killed him.
“Where is El?” I pull away and look around.
“Your dad is taking care of him. He will survive” Alpha Edward says and I nod wiping my tears.
“What is your plan?” I look at the people around me and Jace sighs dragging his palms on his face.
“We are going for Andrew. He was the one who helped me pull Chase and El out but the queen caught him red-handed. I don’t know what is happening right now, but it can’t be good. The time for war has come, Ana” My mate announces and only then, do I understand his earlier words.
Its time.
Authors note.
Thank you everyone for your support.
This chapter was a bit emotional for me but what can I say, such is life.
