“I know it is a bad thing to break a promise, but I think now that it is a worse thing to let a promise break you.”

― Jennifer Donnelly, A Northern Light

QUILLON P.O.V

Without taking her eyes of me, Darya stood up. Her eyes were still burning red and her lips were compressed to form a thin line. With a growl she raised her left hand and dropped Rick’s head, which she was still holding in her hands, backwards, and it fell near his body.

“What the-”

“-Fuck” Quinn completed what Nevin began.

Then she tilted her head towards the back, took in a deep breath and then lowering her head, let out that breath. When she opened her eyes, they were back to the steel grey ones.

I stood staring her at, while also wondering how I could have not figured this out. If I had wanted to, I could have figured everything about Darya, but I didn’t only because of my own rules.

While pulling her cellphone from the pocket of her shorts, Darya turned and started walking towards Rick’s body.

“What are you going to do?” Quinn asked in a whisper beside me.

I wanted to strangle her and admire her at the same time. “Nothing” I sighed shaking my head and Quinn stared at me with wide eyes. I watched Darya, who placed the cellphone next to her ear and waited for someone to answer her call.

“What happened?” I heard Tyson’s voice from the other end, while Darya pulled out a test-tube that had moon flower fragrance.

“Shut the website. Rick is dead” she said and I gritted my teeth.

“The The The website… sh-she made that website?” Harvey stuttered in disbelief and I nodded. Well, Tyson made it but surely on her instructions. It was her plan to trap Rick and I am sure that I came in-between her plan.

“What about the waste?” Tyson demanded while Darya pulled out a lighter. She let go the highly flammable scent on his body first and then the lighter.

“Burnt” Darya replied walking towards me, while flame spread all around Rick’s body.

“Oh My God” Quinn whispered.

“Alright” he said and hung up.

Locking her gaze with mine, Darya strode ahead but all of a sudden stopped in her tracks and smirked. “You are late” she said and I frowned at her.

It wasn’t until she looked over her shoulder that I realized she was talking to someone else. As I followed her gaze, I clenched my fists and growled murderously when I saw Ekon, another one of Konrad’s aids.

“Devise or mishap?” she demanded turning to face him. Behind me, the boys stiffened and growled at the sight of another enemy. So a dog did come to pick up the bone!

“It is what you think it is” Ekon replied to Darya with a shrug.

“I was expecting Cable” Darya told him.

“Konrad knocked him out” Ekon retorted.

“Ah, so you chose to come?”

“Maybe”

“Ekon” Darya said gently and nodded once.

“Darya” he said with a same tone and smiled. The sight of this pathetic mutt smiling at my mate, made my wolf furious and he raised his hackles.

“Kill him” I commanded.

“Don’t” Darya shouted, flipping her hair and turning to face us. “No one is going to touch him” Darya warned in rage. Her one hand was stretched as if barring us from attacking Ekon and her eyes were the color of flames.

However, my friends ignored her warning and still went to hurt her.

What happened next would have been complete blur for others, but not for me. I saw it happening. Before my friends could get anywhere close to Ekon, Darya stopped them by hitting and knocking them out. Her movement was so fast, that my friends didn’t even realize where exactly she was. All they could see was a blur figure moving here and there, knocking the others.

In the end, Nevin was kneeling on the ground and gasping for air, while Darya held his throat. Ram, Clay and Harvey were on the ground, groaning in pain, while Quinn was standing beside me and watching Darya with wide eyes.

Glaring at me, Darya hissed through gritted teeth, “Ask them to step back right now Alpha or I’ll kill them one after the other, starting with your Beta.”

My wolf was furious to see his mate defending a rogue. My whole body started trembling in rage. If I wanted to, I could make her bend on her knees and beg for forgiveness for this amount of disrespect towards her mate’s pack wolves.

But I did not do so!

I did not do so because I wanted to know why Darya was defending Ekon.

She is definitely against Konrad and killed two of his aids, then why is she not killing Ekon. I wanted an answer for that and this was the only way of getting it.

“Q, ask them to step back” Quinn advised.

“Step back” I commanded through gritted teeth, glaring at Darya. I am definitely going to deal with her later.

Immediately Darya dropped her hold from around Nevin’s throat and then took a deep breath to calm herself, while my friends slowly stood up and hobbled to stand behind me.

“God! What is she?” Harvey croaked.

“I couldn’t even see her coming” Ram added.

“You didn’t have to do that” Ekon told Darya, his voice a whisper.

“I don’t want them hurting you” she said and my wolf howled painfully. Why does she care about this rogue? “Why did you come here Ekon?” Darya questioned in a grave tone.

At her question Ekon blinked and gulped before answering, “I knew you would kill the person who would come to help Rick” he replied. “So, I thought, I must come” he added in a voice, full of emotion. I couldn’t hide my astonishment as I understood the meaning behind his words. “I realized who you are a long time ago. Forgive me for disrespecting you. If you want to punish me for my sins, then I am ready to take the punishment but I cannot leak any information about Konrad to you. The life that I am living today, is a gift from him. The day he saved me, I had promised I would serve him until my last breath. Nothing can hurt him as long as I am standing right in front of him.”

Darya took a deep breath and then sighed, before saying, “You are a good man Ekon. Even while working with the wrong people, you have retained your goodness. Your only sin is your attachment towards your promise.” I narrowed my eyes. I knew Ekon’s weakness was his attachment. I had thought it was to Konrad, but now I knew it was towards the promise he made. He is not ready to break the promise.

“Promising is not a sin. But if your promise hurts others, then it is a sin. To keep your promise, you have hurt a great deal of people. All you were concerned about was that your promise should not be broken and amidst that, you have forgotten the difference between right and wrong” Darya stated and I had to agree what she said was veracious!

Ekon gulped before saying, “Are you saying that I should have broken my promise?

“Yes” Darya replied without any hesitation. “The moment you saw an innocent suffering in front of you, you should have broken that promise. Your promise isn’t more precious than the life of that innocent” she added shaking her head.

“I have done that same mistake once Ekon” Darya added after sometime and I frowned. “I had asked Seline to promise me that she would keep my identity a secret, from my brother, who just happened to be her mate. When I forced her to promise me, I didn’t know, didn’t grasp, that I was creating a barrier in their relationship. And when I did realize my mistake, they were parted. I immediately made her break that promise, but she wasn’t ready to. So instead, I made a new promise that I am going to bring them together” Darya concluded with a smile.

My wolf raised his head in pride, pleased to hear it. Darya indeed had a good heart.

Ekon lowered his head in shame. Darya sighed and added, “You had so many chances to rectify your mistake but every single time, you chose to keep quiet. You knew what’s happening before you is wrong, yet you kept quiet. You silence is your sin, Ekon. You followed Konrad’s instructions without any protest. You did as was asked and in that you lost your own ability to think, you lost your decision making capability. Your soul has no peace. It’s like a fish without water. Fighting, begging, and trembling for that peace which you haven’t given it yet” Darya said blinking repeatedly.

Ekon smiled a humorless smile before falling on his knees, right in front of Darya.

My eyes widened when I saw this tall, powerful wolf on his knees. He placed a hand over his heart and then lowering his head, he said, “I realized my sin and the only punishment to it is death. I would be honored to die in your hands.”

I inhaled sharply and so did my friends. As I looked at Ekon, I tried to figure out if he was just messing up, but no… he wasn’t. He was actually serious!

For endless moment, Darya just stared at this wolf, who looked defeated with life. Even I felt a tinge of sympathy for him. Why couldn’t he just break his promise?

Darya’s face didn’t display any sort of emotion, until she smiled gently. “You are a warrior Ekon. You will die like a warrior. When I am going to challenge Konrad, if you choose to stand against me, then, I will be left with no option but to kill you” Darya concluded determinedly and I was pleased by the decision she took. It was the right one!

Ekon looked at her, surprised and then blinked and nodded with a soft smile. Bowing his head in respect, he stood up.

“So far, all you have done is follow Konrad’s order, but I suggest you to make a decision now for yourself. Your decision will have consequences. Good or bad, it’s up to you to decide” Darya told Ekon, a few seconds later.

“I understand” Ekon said and then turned to leave.

‘You are letting him go?’ Nevin asked and I nodded as a reply.

“She still loves you Ekon” Darya said and Ekon stopped in his tracks but didn’t turn to face her. “She still does” Darya announced and when Ekon turned to look at her, he was pale all over. Ekon has a mate? Judging by what Darya said, I am pretty sure he has rejected her.

“If you walk away from her now, she will be bitter about it for the rest of her life. If you choose to be with her, then you can provide her that happiness which she will cherish for the rest of her life. That’s one more decision you have to make on your own” Darya opined before walking away.

After Darya left, I looked at Ekon, who had turned an ashen shade beneath his tanned skin. He looked hurt!

For his sake as well as his mate’s sake, I hope Ekon takes a right decision.

“Let’s go” I commanded to my friends. After giving one lasting look at Ekon, I turned to leave. Through the link, I ordered everyone to not stop Ekon from leaving the territory.

Darya had already reached home before me. As I sensed her in her room, I directly went upstairs and entered her room. I found her washing her hands in the bathroom.

“You let Ekon go?” I heard the Emperor Pack Luna ask Darya through the phone.

“You know I don’t want to kill him” she replied and splashed water on her face.

“He works for Konrad, Darya” Duncan said. “You shouldn’t forget that.”

“I will not forget it if he chooses Konrad after today” Darya replied. Through her reflection in the mirror, she stared at me. “I will call you later” she said and hung up on Duncan and his mate.

“My office, now.” My voice left no room for argument, but being Darya meant you have to argue against my decision.

“Not now. I have to take a shower” she said.

“Fine” I said to gritted teeth. “Ten minutes is all you are going to get” I snapped before going downstairs.

“I couldn’t even see her. She was so fucking fast. What is she like fucking ninja?”

“If you are trained by five fucking Alpha bloods you will be even better than ninja”

“Five? What five Alpha bloods?”

“Her trainers were five Alpha bloods. Duncan, his mate, Granel, Cortez and Tyson.”

“I saw it all but I still find it hard to believe. Man! She decapitated Rick as if he is nothing.”

“And you saw what she did to Nevin?”

“I didn’t see her coming or else I would have stopped her.”

“That’s the fucking point. You didn’t see her coming even when she was right in front of you.”

“Yeah! All I know was that I was running to kill Ekon and midway someone punched me really hard and kicked my shins, before slamming my neck.”

Growling in frustration, I pushed the office door and entered the room where they were there. I have been hearing what they were saying ever since I left Darya’s room. My friends as well as my brother stared at me until I slumped on my chair.

“So…” Quinn was the only one who dared to speak.

“Don’t” I warned. I was not in the mood to speak to anyone except Darya.

“Alright.” He was quiet for about three seconds before opening his mouth again, “By the way, I saw her eyes.” He had to add that.

Ten minutes later, Darya decided to grace us with her presence. She was wearing a pink skirt and a striped top. Her golden blonde hair slightly wet from the shower.

“My apologies everyone, especially to you Nevin. I would not gone through with that threat. I would never do that to Bee” she said with a wink, before sitting in a chair opposite my desk. Everyone, even Nevin, smiled at her.

I could see it in my friend’s faces that they esteemed Darya.

“Who is Konrad? Really?” Harvey asked cocking an eyebrow, amused, and Darya had the elegance to blush.

“Why did you punch me?” Quinn demanded with a pout.

“You were after my prey” Darya replied with a smile and then looked at me. As soon as her eyes locked with mine, her smile vanished.

“Out” I commanded not taking my eyes off her grey ones. She gulped, but she didn’t tell anything. I patiently waited until all my friends were out of the office, out of the house. “You made that website” I said sending her a harsh glare and Darya paled.

“I am sorry” she whispered.

“Not forgiven” I said cruelly and Darya frowned at me.

Clenching her jaws, she looked away, took a deep breath.  “Fine. Now Ask” Darya said crossing her legs and leaning back against her seat.

“How long have you been after Konrad?” I queried staring at her.

“How long have you been after Konrad?” she countered.

“This doesn’t work like that doll face” I told her with a smirk, leaning back in my seat. “You get a reply only after you give me a reply.”

“Years” she muttered.

“Years” I replied.

“Why?”

“There are many reasons. All personal.” I narrowed my eyes at her answer. Darya sighed before saying, “Check the name of the Sanity’s victim killed on 11th March 2015.”

“Your adopted mother” I stated and she nodded.

“But that’s not the only reason?”

“One question at a time Quillon” she reminded and I growled lowly.

“Why are you after Konrad?”

“Apart from the fact that he is a fucking monster, what else reason do you need?” I asked and she rolled her eyes.

“Does Konrad know you are after him?” I knew the answer to this. However, I still wanted to hear her say it to me.

“Yes” her reply was barely audible.

“That fucking bastard. It was him in the farm the other day, wasn’t it” I growled in rage and she flinched. My wolf was furious. I knew I sensed a strange scent that day. I bloody knew it!

Darya didn’t reply. Instead she asked me her question, “Does Konrad know you are after him?”

“No” I replied and shook my head. Darya looked up and furrowed her brows. Before I could ask her the next question, her cellphone started ringing.

“Darya” an unfamiliar male voice said from the other side and I frowned.

“I am a little busy right now. I will call you later” she said before hanging up.

“Who is it?” I demanded.

“A friend”

“One of your trainers?” I queried and when she looked up, her gaze locked with mine.

“Cortez Moreland” she sighed. “How do you know about the five Alphas’?” Darya asked confused.

“Through a video” I answered. Darya glanced at me once, growled and looked away.

“There is another video in it” I added and raising her lashes, she looked at me. “Jared” I growled out through gritted teeth and she closed her eyes shut and muttered a curse. Slowly, she opened one eye and when she realized I was still staring at her, she closed it.

“Fine. It was impulsive alright? I knew the bastard was there and I wanted to kill him. I didn’t think through” she growled out.

“That sounds much better” I said sarcastically and she glared at me.

After few seconds, Darya sighed, ran a hand through her hair before asking, “Does the video actually show me killing him?”

“No. It shows you dancing tantalizingly around other men” I spat in fury. Just thinking about the way those men used to stare at her, made my blood boil.

“That was part of the plan” she said in a duh tone and snarling, I got up from my seat, which caused my chair to slump on the ground. When I did that Darya visibly lost color and compressing her lips, she swallowed audibly.

“Being this close to Jared was part of the plan?” I shouted using my index and thumb to show how close she was to Jared.

“Yes. When I try to rip someone’s head off, I need to be that close to their head” she imparted furiously, standing up as well.

“What kind of a dress was that?”

“It was better than the other girls” Darya snapped and I scoffed. I knew what she said was true, but she was still dancing seductively in front of other males.

“And what about that hair?”

“I wore a wig” she shouted.

“You are not allowed to dance like that anywhere again” I ordered.

“I will and why are you so concerned? It was all before I met you” she defended herself and my wolf snapped his jaws.

“You are mine” I thundered. That should be enough of an explanation.

“No. I am not” she bellowed and my wolf stood up. “We are just trying and we will only be trying for the next fifty-one days.”

Fifty-one days? She has been counting? That thought made my wolf livid and glaring, I took a step towards her.

“Don’t you dare try to dominate me” she spat pointing her index to me. “Maybe you succeeded the last time, but never again.”

“Don’t do that. It’s irritating” I snapped slapping her hand away.

“You think I care about that?” she snapped back and I took another step forward, which made her clench her fists. “I am leaving. Call me when you have calmed down” she hissed stalking towards the door.

“Come back here” I roared impatiently and then clamping a hand around her wrist, I tried to haul her to me.

Keyword- Tried.

I couldn’t do it because the moment, I clamped a hand around her wrist, I felt current surging through my body, that not only compelled me to retreat my hand due to electric shock, but also made my wolf drop down and whine softly.

“What the-” I whispered staring at my palm, which had turned pink from the current shock. I then watched Darya, who stood frozen in her place. Not only did she look pale, but her eyes were as wide as flying saucers.

“I… I didn’t me-mean…” she stopped and swallowed audibly. I narrowed my eyes and stared at her through confusion. My eyes drifted to her fingers that were glowing electric blue.

She is gifted!

“I am sorry” she whispered and turned to leave.

Immediately it dawned on me that Darya could generate electric current in her body. That means she had intentionally stepped over the wire yesterday. And when doing that, she had absorbed the current from the electric charger.

Darya had just opened the door, when I held it and with a growl, slammed it shut in her face. Shocked, she turned to look at me. However, when she turned to face me, her eyes were brimming with tears, which she was trying her best to control. My wolf whined softly when he saw that. He didn’t like watching her like this… vulnerable!

I knew if I tried to soothe her, then she would break down. I don’t want her to cry… ever. So to calm her, I went through the other way. “Please” I scoffed. “You wouldn’t cry even if I stabbed you with a knife.”

Her eyes widened a little before she growled and gritted her teeth. “You are right. I won’t” she hissed and I smirked in satisfaction, when she harshly wiped the corner of her eyes with her hands.

She turned to leave, but I caught her arms and dragged her towards the chair, silently relieved that no current passed through her body this time. I forced her to sit on the chair and she did that with a low growl.

“We got diverted a little bit-”

“You got diverted” the doll face had to contradict. Even though I was annoyed, I chose not to bite back to that comment.

“But now we are back to the Interrogative session” I finished as if she hadn’t spoken in between.

“How long-”

“It’s supposed to be my turn” she broke in. I closed my eyes and counted till ten to calm myself. I will not bite back… again.

“Fine. Go ahead”  I encouraged.

I kind of guessed what she wanted to ask with me. I just hoped she doesn’t ask what I am guessing she would.

DARYA P.O.V

“How is it that you can make other pack wolves submit to you?” I demanded and Quillon looked at me.

“I am an Alpha” he replied nonchalantly.

“Bullshit” I objected vehemently standing up, right in front of Quillon. “You said that day because your parents are Alphas’. Sel’s parents are Alphas’ too but she cannot force other pack wolves to submit to her” I stated. “So what is it?” I asked looking him in the eye.

“One question at a time doll face” Quillon reminded and I looked away.

“Since when have you been manipulating electricity?”

“A year after I shifted” I lied and he nodded. I couldn’t tell him the whole truth. I just couldn’t tell him that my gift is of controlling the element sky… basically lightning and thunder. I cannot generate electricity, until my body has absorbed electricity from some source.

Like yesterday, after I stepped on that wire, I had absorbed all the current and hence, it was possible for me to generate electricity today.

I wouldn’t tell Quillon, until I am sure it is safe. What happened now was a mistake. He already knows I can control electricity and I think that is too much because I know Konrad will come after Quillon… for sure!

Quillon was about to say something when I shot him a pointed look. Sighing, he gave me a go-ahead look. “How are you so powerful?” I questioned, carefully watching him. However, there was no sort of reaction from him. No surprise, no tense… nothing! And it was bloody irritating because if there was a slight betrayal of emotion, I could tell something was amiss.

“What kind of a question is that?” he asked cocking an eyebrow. “How am I powerful? I am an Alpha” he said and I gnashed my teeth.

“Have you been-”

“My turn” Quillon broke in and I rolled my eyes.

“Does Konrad know what you can do?” I nodded as a reply and there was a loud ferocious growl.

“Have you been always this powerful compared to other wolves?” I inquired.

“Yeah… Or else, how could I have been an Alpha?” he countered and I blinked. Is being powerful Quillon’s gift? Does he not even know how powerful his wolf is? His wolf makes my wolf bow… it definitely means he is more dominant than others out there. Could it be only because his parents are Alpha blood?

“Konrad wants anything from you?” he asked and I gulped. Konrad wants one and only one thing from me- my gifts. I think he can attain it after he kills me! “Darya?” Quillon probed.

“Yes” I replied without looking at him and immediately placing an arm around my waist, Quillon hauled me closer and I held his arms for support. My brain decided to shut down and my body decided to be active at that moment. I gasped as tingles spread all around my body from that touch. My skin felt hot and my heart pounded frantically.

“You are mine.” It was a statement that had my wolf howling joyously. I swear she wasn’t this happy, even when she received her gifts. I also swear I could sense my face burning as color spread on my cheeks.

“Oh” I said gazing at Quillon’s dark eyes. It’s a sin to be this gorgeous! While staring at his captivating dark eyes, I felt my mouth turn dry as a bone.

Nervously, I slid the tip of my tongue out and moistened my lower lip. I saw the way Quillon’s attention drop to my mouth and lingered there. His hand which was on my hip, slip upwards towards my waist and when he did that, my top slightly went up and the brush of his fingers against my skin set my whole body on fire.

I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

Immediately Quillon lowered his head and his lips met mine. The kiss barely lasted a second or two because Quillon immediately pulled back, groaned and then rubbed his thumb against my lips, wiping my lip-gloss.

I moaned softly when he did that, which only had Quillon’s gaze turn darker. My breathing was erratic which caused my chest to heave up and down unevenly. I could feel his heart thumping wildly, against mine and I was happy that I had a similar kind of effect on him.

Growling, he leaned closer and my lips parted on it’s own accord, while I closed my eyes. Quillon smashed his mouth against my eager ones and captured my lips between his. Clutching his shirt in a tight grip, I started responding back. Our tongues had barely collided with each other, when the office door was pushed open and a familiar male voice said, “Q, I heard the prisoner-”

Quillon pulled back with a loud growl to glare at the intruder, who was none other than his dad. He loosened his hold on my waist and I immediately stepped away from him, but didn’t turn to face the former Alpha. I couldn’t look his father in the eye. At least, not now.

“I will be waiting in the living room” with that said, the former Alpha closed the door shut and walked out, while I wiped my lips and tried to calm my rapidly beating heart.

Through the corner of my eyes, I glanced at Quillon and found him glaring at the closed door. When he turned his head to look at me, I lowered my head and biting my lower lip, I closed my eyes. He didn’t tell anything but judging by the deep breaths he was taking, I knew he was trying to calm himself.

Good! I liked that I too affected him. My wolf sighed in contentment.

“Um…” I began and nervously licked my lower lip again, that earned a groan from Quillon. Surprised, I looked up and immediately he changed his expression to an angry one, which had his dark eyes glaring at me.

I looked away and compressing my lips, I tried my best not to smile. I knew he was doing it because he is embarrassed.

“You should… you should go talk to your dad” I muttered striding towards the door. I wanted my brain to function again.

“Yeah, I should” I heard Quillon saying before I closed the door.

While going upstairs, I saw the former Alpha who was in the standing in the living room. His eyes widened when he saw me for a fraction of a second, before he schooled his expression to a blank one. My face flamed and after lowering my head in respect for the former Alpha, I rushed upstairs.

Pressing my forehead against the closed door of my room, I shut my eyes and took deep breaths. What the hell was that? Why do I lose control over myself around Quillon?

When my breathing was back to normal, I decided to distract myself by calling someone. I had just turned when I saw my reflection in the mirror. I grimaced when I saw the smudged lip-gloss at the corner of my lips.

No wonder, the Alpha stared at me with wide eyes.

God Quillon! Why do you do this to me? Why couldn’t you warn me about this? Picking up a tissue paper, I wiped my cheeks, until I was sure the mark was gone.

Sighing, I slumped on the couch and dug my hands on my skirt pocket. I groaned when I realized that my cell phone was still in Quillon’s office.

However, I will not go downstairs until the Alpha is gone.

I was woken up, by a knock on the door. It was Quinn.

Rubbing my eyes, I got up and opened the door. “Which one is yours?” he asked extending his hand that had three pendrives in it.

“They are not mine” I said shaking my head.

“Not yours?” he said confused. “Nevin said that the video was from one of the pendrives I kept, but how would I have…” he trailed off and I sighed.

“It was from one of the pendrives you kept. Konrad’s aids had done that on purpose. The intention was that through you, the video would reach Quillon” I explained.

“I was the target?” Quinn demanded with a growl.

“I was the target. You were means through which the target could be achieved” I clarified.

“Fucking shit! One of his aids drops a pendrive into my bag and I don’t even realize it” he mumbled to himself. “How couldn’t I sense that person?” Quinn added.

“They use moon flower fragrance” I supplied.

“Fucker” he hissed and my eyes widened. He looked riled up and I decided to divert his mind.

“Did you see the video?” I asked chirpily.

Quinn looked up and blinked before replying, “No. I wanted to see it but I didn’t know which pendrive?” Immediately I recalled that the pendrive was in Quillon’s office laptop and I told him so. “I’ll go get it” he mumbled rushing downstairs.

Five minutes later, Quinn was lying on his stomach, in my bed, while I was sitting Indian style, at other end of the bed and watching the video from my laptop. The video was taken by a professional hired that day to take the video. Since it was a rule not to use inhumane powers inside the arena, everyone wanted to take videos and hence Cortez had hired this professional. I guess, the video leaked through that way and reached Konrad.

“Which pack does this guy belong to?” Quinn demanded. He would ask certain things questions and I had to answer every one of them for him.

“Oh! That’s Owen Sweet. He is from Emperor” I said with a smile. I had trained with Owen and he is a friend.

Quinn laughed after watching Owen fall on the ground, groaning in pain and accepting defeat. I remembered watching him and many like him that day. Everyone was losing and so I had decided to fight against Alphas’. Give it a try and see if I would win.

“Man! I love the host… he is so funny” Quinn added laughing bringing me out of my thoughts.

“Zachary” I said with a chuckle and laughed at a joke he cracked on Owen’s surname. The host and the hostess were the Beta couple of Regal Pack.

Just then I heard a loud murderous growl. When I glanced up I saw Quillon, poised near the doorway, his tall, powerful frame, trembling in rage and his dark eyes, sharp as knives, focused on his brother.

“What the fuck are you doing in my mate’s bed?” Quillon demanded through gritted teeth, startling Quinn and me.
