View More*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*BY THE FARAWAY glaze in Kincaid's eyes, I knew that he had a very tough decision to make now. Even though I turned out to be right about Liz's intentions, I wish it didn't have to be so.He pulled away from the hug but still held my hand. "Come," he said, leading me on. "They have the both of them in the packhall. I want you to be there."We made our way to the pack hall. It was starting to be filled with members who wanted to see what the fuss was all about. They parted to let Kincaid and I walk through.At the front of the hall, Liz and the intruder were on the floor. Liam and Finn stood behind them. The Delta warriors manned strategic places around the hall. I could see the chiefs and leaders of each tribe seated in the front row of the hall. Axel, Liz's mate was standing a bit behind the chair and closer to where his mate stood.Alastair's eyes burned with anger as he stared at the intruder. Kincaid took his seat at the head of the hall and looked at the crowd t
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*KINCAID EASED CLOSER slowly. He did not recognize the man speaking with Liz but he could tell that they were not up to any good. Maybe this stranger was a tribe member who had been left behind by the rest of the tribe.He studied their body language, the man was hunched over as Liz whispered something in his ear. He could only get a glimpse of what was being said."How long have they been here?" He mindlinked Cedric, whom he had seen immediately, hiding at the top of a tree. It was a good hiding spot and he blended very well with the surroundings, but Kincaid was a trained hunter. He could feel Cedric's shock as Kincaid spoke to him. "Uh, they have been here for almost 10 minutes alpha," He mind linked back after he got over his shock."Can you hear what they are talking about?" Kincaid asked."No, alpha," Cedric whispered."You do know that they can't hear you," Kincaid said. "You don't have to whisper." Kincaid stood still, considering what options he had. He did
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*THE HALL remained quiet for a moment after Alastair's outburst and leaving. "THE meeting is dismissed," Kincaid said wearily. The different leaders stood up and bowed slightly before shuffling out. Leaving Liam, Finn, Marcus, and Thorr."Shouldn't you be with your newly found mate?" Kincaid asked Thorr."I should... but here I am," Thorr said, shrugging. "I liked the alpha Ezra. He was always nice to me as a kid, and I hate the thought that his murderer is just out there, living life like nothing happened." He stood up. "Something should be done." He cracked his neck before sauntering away."Well, that went well," Liam said sarcastically. "At least the men didn't jump and start fighting each other." He added.Kincaid rubbed his head. He was starting to feel the beginning of a migraine. "What do we have on the poison?" He asked Marcus."Nothing," Marcus replied. "None of our research yielded results, that poison has not been known before...""And now that most of the
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V* HOW CAN ONE person be as stubborn and millheaded as two people combined? I asked myself as I walked out of the room after Kincaid. It was bad enough that he was my mate, and still, I was having him questioning my every move. It was tiring. I walked downstairs and joined Elsa and some of the women on the patio. I looked across the lawn and wondered, "Was this really the life?" Where men gathered and spoke about important matters whereas women were sidelined and constructed to kitchens and domestic duties.All that idleness is not healthy. That is why they can go around spreading lies and believing nighttime stories. I sighed and contacted Cedric "Any new update?" I mindlinked."No, Luna." He replied almost immediately. "They seem to be totally avoiding the topic.""Maybe they know you are around," I said.He chuckled. "I doubt it. I've been like a shadow walker."A shadow walker, I scoffed. Another character from bedtime stories."I think Liz has been confronted b
*KINCAID'S P.O.V* KINCAID WENT TO the pack hall which was a large room opposite the packhouse. The last chief Erastus was there, he was a stern-looking elderly man with a thick middle and short stocky legs. He controlled a tribe of 50 people and they stood up when Kincaid came in."Alpha," They all bowed in greeting.Kincaid nodded at them and said, "You can go to the kitchen and dining if you're hungry." He clasped The chief's wife. Her name was Melissa. "Good to see you," He said. "Check in with the Luna. She will assign you to cabins."The petite woman nodded and bowed before herding the rest of her tribe away.Suddenly, he heard; "Mate!" Turning sharply, he saw Thorr standing with a slack look on his face in front of Chief Erastus's daughter. Kincaid chuckled as they two regarded each other and then hugged gleefully. He crossed his arms, smiling."Well, that's one good thing that came out of all this chaos," Liam muttered, also watching the couple as they walked away.Kincaid lo
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*HE WAS TIRED, hungry, and needed sleep. Those were not a good combination as he entered and stepped into the cold shower to wake himself up. The cold blast did the trick.While he washed up, he heard Adrienne come into the room. He could feel her anger and agitation as she stomped around in the room. After a few minutes of scrubbing himself, he stepped out of the shower. Adrienne regarded him with a dirty side eye and without saying anything, she handed him a towel which he collected and used to dry himself. "Where were you last night?" Se finally asked as he was dressing up.He shrugged and answered. "I was up and about.""Don't give me that vague answer. Kincaid!" She snapped."I sensed something on our land and went to investigate," He sighed. "And I saw my uncle...""So you decided to chill with him for the night?" She asked sarcastically.He nodded. "Yes, I decided to chill with him for the night." He looked at her. "We need all the help we can get against wha
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*I WOKE UP with a yawn the following morning. The sky was still dark, but I could hear some birds singing in the distance. The bed was empty beside me. I spread my hand across it. It was cold. Kincaid had not come home last night.Frowning slightly, I got out of bed and stretched. Where was he? I wondered. I know he was alright, and he was still in the pack territory. I could feel him.As I took my bath and washed up, my mind drifted to how far I had come. From being a useless scared omega to now a string Luna. I smiled when I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel twisted around my hair and another across my chest.I dressed up casually and packed my hair in a lazy ponytail. We were still expecting some tribes to arrive today. As I imagined my way downstairs, I could already hear the cooks in the kitchen. They were preparing breakfast for anyone who decided to join us in the packhouse."Good morning, Luna," one of the women I did not recognize said, bowing deeply.
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*"A DRINK?" LIAM asked after they were given their privacy. Axel chuckled and nodded. "You look older than the last time I saw you," He muttered."That's because I've grown older," Liam replied, handing a glass cup to Axel and one to Kincaid."I would have thought it was because you are this one's Beta," Axel laughed as he looked at Kincaid. "Having to do most of the thinking for both of you will surely age you faster.""Shut up," Kincaid said and smiled. He had really missed his good friend."And your mate... the Luna. That's good news." He said in a solemn tone. "I never would have thought the moon goddess would give you a second chance."Kincaid and Liam nodded. They had first met Axel when they were on their quest for revenge and he had joined them."You know the twist of fate?" Kincaid asked. "That was the first time I saw her, all those years ago. I even marked her then.""Wait," Axel frowned slightly as he thought hack and remembered that night. "She was that
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*KINCAID SAT UP and looked at me. "What do you mean they were talking of killing you?"I shrugged and ran through what I heard to him. How I had silently crept away without knowing what the second woman was or even seeing her face, but I recognized that voice, and I will remember it anywhere. When I was done, he released a heavy sigh and sat up. "If Axel had arrived, I would speak to him." He placed his hand on my thigh, the point of contact sent heat waves rolling through my body and I shivered. "Don't worry, my love." He said, "I will get to the root of this. We are supposed to be united against our enemies. I can't have someone spreading poison into the hearts of other pack members."He stood up and stretched, not bothered by his nakedness. I loved the way his back muscles rippled and moved in a fluid motion and the way his tight butt looked behind the light. He turned to me and caught me checking him out. He smiled and came towards me, "You like what you see?" H
