He’s supposed to be dead. The one man, the only Alpha who called me just like that was dead.

That man was Luke Darkwood. Darius Darkwood’s father. The former Alpha of the pack. The same man who was supposedly dead along with my father and others.

“Too many questions, young girl. I’m just an old, weak wolf. Take it easy on me and yes, Darius threw me here.”

“Why?” I asked.

“Why else? Because he wants to take over my pack,”“

He spat with hatred.

I believed him. The next second, I doubted it. The third, I believed him, the fourth, I doubted him but by the fifth, I threw my worries into the air and
