CHAPTER 1

PROLOGUE

The Peony pack is the most powerful pack to ever exist among all the other wolf packs. It is known for their extremely organized system with hierarchies that uphold the smooth running of the prestigious pack. With twelve tribes guiding the pack, each tribe represents a pillar that supports the affair of the pack with then tenth tribe as the biggest tribe of all.

The tribes have walked hand in hand for years with understanding until the need to take over a certain power arose which led to a big fight between the tribes and also caused the wipe out of the entire tenth tribe.

Just like every other full moon, the eerie feeling clouded everywhere as the wolves were getting ready for the shifting party. For generations, they had been ordered to shift together and enjoy the ambience that the full moon creates for them to draw the energy they can before it rolls over to another day.

The tribes' elders were busy holding their usual meeting in the pyramid room while other wolves were getting ready for another big night. Hums of happiness were heard from all the corners of the pack from the expectant wolves who couldn't wait to display strength and beauty in few hours.

I think we should induct the wolves that will be of age into the adulthood circle soon, they are now many in number and should not be left hanging the leader of the tenth tribe proposed and everyone supported his suggestion. Make every preparations for the induction Alpha Ricky commanded the first tribe which was in charge of the induction.

I will make sure to set everything in place, My Alpha the leader bowed without any further countering.

The other tribes should get ready to play their parts too. Our pack has always set a good example over the centuries, we can't afford to lose our faces grunted the Alpha and they all agreed to his words.

The meeting was wrapped up on a good note and the elders dispersed to get ready for the great night but little did they know that the night would never come. One of the wolves that was sent to bring in food from the warehouse ran to inform them that a strange entity had invaded the pack and bitten one of them.

What do you mean by a strange entity? What are you talking about? Explain yourself this instant! the elder of the fifth tribe countered with a scrunched nose but before the wolf could reply him, the said bitten wolf showed up with huge vein marks all over his body.

Piercing screams filled the pack as everyone ran for their lives. The wolf had bitten the other wolves who tried to help him and before anyone could blink, the pack was filled with strange poppy vein sickness which drained the wolves of their powers and took over.

Can someone explain what is going on? questioned the Alpha as he staggered back.

The situation at hand was terrifying and ominous, no one understood what the strange and frightening situation happening was not to talk of proffering solutions to it.

The elders gasped in shock as one of the wolves tried shifting for strength. With a loud and long grunt, his claws popped out and the visible vein began to stretch further. His furs were sprouting out at a very fast rate, his bones were cracking loudly with his eyes bulging than usual. He finally shifted and was torn into pieces before he could do anything after letting out a powerful but painful howl.

What is this disturbing situation? the elder of the fifth tribe blurt out as the blood splashed on everyone around the lifeless wolf.

We are doomed! exclaimed the leader of the tenth tribe as everyone gasped in horror.

CHAPTER 2

The thick rain enveloped all the surface of the wind screen so much that the driver was hardly seeing what was in front of him, the wipers were sweeping the waters pouring endless as if their lives depended on it as the car moved through the dark street.

When did you say we will get there? a thick voice asked from the car and the silence that was existing in the car shattered to shards. The driver replied The navigation app showed that we will be there in the next five minutes with immediate effect and he grunted.

He was getting impatient.

The driver was sticking his eyes widely on the road while holding unto the driving wheel as if it was the key of his life, he wanted to get to his destination safe and sound amidst the pouring rain.

Alfred growled You should just relax, you are always too anxious and worked up. You don't have anything to be scared of, it's not like this is your first time here so breathe in and out and Darco rolled his eyes and fired Did I not tell you this is not the time for you to meddle in? Do you seriously want me to lock you out for the rest of the week? You are being chatty for no reason, making Alfred zipped his mouth immediately.

That is how Darco has ever been, he never listens to anyone nor does he takes opinion. He does only what benefit him and would never back down when he sets his mind on something.

That stubborn for nothing and proud airhead Alfred grunted and Darco howled a thick I can hear you, do you know that? at which Alfred scoffed at and stated Do your worse before sticking out his tongue.

Helena rolled on her office's chair cycling the black fountain pen in between her thin and long fingers. Resting her head on the chair's header, she stared hard into the ceiling, her gaze was enough to bore a hole into the huge white roof covering her head and a smirk was playing faintly on her face.

Although the heavy rain pouring down outside her window was disrupting the total silence she needed, she still felt it was perfect for the atmosphere of that night. All her plans are going to be yielding her a positive result that night and she couldn't wait to see how it would turn out because it was a moment she had worked hard for.

Her right leg dangled as she crossed it over the left, and the white robe she was putting on was flowing over the leg royally. Her face was plastered with makeup that was enough to make her alluring even though she was a beauty in her natural standard.

She muttered a low It's going to be a long night, closing her eyes to feel the effect of the soft music oozing out of the record player by the far right corner of the room as it seeped through her soul to make her relaxed.

Her eyes open slowly at the clacking sound of heels kissing the glass tiles in the room as Secretary Han walked in with a file in her hand. She was dressed in a wine gown with a mock neck style, her brown trench coat was doing the job of keeping her warm as well as pretty and chic. Her red hair was packed into a ponytail and soft, wispy baby hair edges were clearly mapped out according to the frame of her forehead. She is indeed pretty.

She held firmly to her right hand a black tablet for her official duty and said Ma'am, the guests will be arriving in the next five minutes. Helena replied, I see, lead them into the meeting room as soon as they arrive with her eyes closed this time around.

Still rotating the chair slowly, she asked further What of Jerry? and the secretary answered He's fast asleep in his room ma'am making her nodded before dismissing her.

Different thoughts and scenarios were running through Helena's head as she sat quietly on the chair, she wondered what the outcome of the meeting that will be holding in few minutes time would be. She had prepared hard for this for more than a year and now that it is finally happening, she can't afford to make it flop because it is the determinant of how her life would turn out.

The huge golden gate leading to a large mansion that was as long as a five minutes' walk opened as the car pulled in front of it and the driver drove till he got to the entrance of the house. The rain had stopped pouring hard and was only dropping bits by bits at that time so it was convenient for him to see what was in front without difficulty unlike few minutes ago.

The door was opened by one of the security guards standing in front of the house and an opened umbrella over their heads guarded them as they got out of the car. Darco stood there looking at the huge mansion for a while, marveling at its beauty before marching into the house according to their leads.

They were taken into the huge house with extra high roof, the golden chandeliers were all donating their shares of light to the room to brighten it up as much as possible.

This way sir, the guard said and led him to the one of the rooms in the house.

The guard opened the door to the room painted with white entirely and golden chairs were arranged around the white table. The overuse of white reminded him of someone he shouldn't remember so he shook it off without hesitation.

The guard informed them The chairwoman will soon be out, I will inform her of your arrival and they nodded before he left for his job.

A maid brought a golden tray of white cups and golden teapot to the room and served them both a hot tea to keep themselves warm before the said chairwoman comes out to see them.

It's been up to ten minutes ma'am Secretary Han informed Helena who still closed her eyes on the rotating chair. She mumbled Ten minutes? That's a little time compared to how much I waited and Secretary Han pressed I think you should join them now. She snapped at her and grumbled You are such a nag! before stopping the chair and rose to her feet.

Should we then go and greet our precious guests? she said with a smirk as the gown she was putting on came into its full glory.

The gown was flowing hard behind her with every steps she took, it was like a queen's outfit with the golden belt attached to the waist. She trailed the steps gracefully and dragged her hand along the golden rails with a grin on her face.

Darco who had been sitting there for ten minutes was getting impatient and growled You don't think she's delaying us on purpose? This is getting out of hand as he hit the table in anger.

Are you going to go out then? Will you walk out? It seems you have forgotten that you are the one in need of something urgent and important so you better behave yourself and don't make some unnecessary fuss Alfred warned, he was getting angry at his tantrum.

Darco almost yelled No one dares make me wait at the pack! and Alfred scoffed and slammed, You are now outside the pack you dummy just as the door opened to show the panache entering of Helena.

She dramatically graced the room with her golden shoe peeping in first before she showed herself in her full regalia. She moved to the front of the table with full confidence and her shoulders were high up in the sky as she walked to her seat and greeted You are welcome to H&M Villa and the guests turned to see who was in front of them.

The cup the driver was holding lost its grip and fell from his land, the shattering sound was what brought him back to his senses as he jumped at the sight in front of him.

Darco stood there with a trembling lips and furrowed eyebrows for some seconds before managing to mutter It can't be… you can't be Helena right? with a shaky voice trying so hard not to stammer.

She wanted to catch him unaware and she was successful seeing his reaction, which made her smile inside but she only smirked and replied Yes, I am Helena Marcus. Is there any problem with that? raising her brows.

Darco could not believe her audacity and ended up chuckling unintentionally for a while because of the absurdity of the situation he suddenly found himself. You must be kidding me, you thought I would be intimidated if you showed up with this grand style? I am sorry to tell you that I don't fancy all of this he growled and Helena shrugged, she was unbothered by his threat, he was the one at the losing end after all.

I don't have any reason to keep unwanted guests in my house, show them out she ordered and the guards entered to carry out her command and Darco protested Are you telling your guards to throw me out? In this middle of the night?. She slammed her hand on the table and the driver jumped in fear for the second time. It seems you are not ready to negotiate so why should I listen to more of anything you have to say or house you further? she fumed angrily and Darco threatened You shouldn't be doing this to me Helena, you should know that the pack will suffer for it but that only made Helena laugh so hard that tears laced on her long eyelashes.

Why should I care about a pack that abandoned me? Why should I care about people who didn't hold my hand when I needed them desperately? The only reason I am going to grab their hand this time is because I am a businesswoman which means, I only accept terms that benefit me so if you are not ready then get out of my house she gritted out of her teeth, her boiling anger was taking the best part of her, she would not have Darco insult her in her house.

The driver who was tired of their banters and emotional show offs quickly pleaded We will do whatever you want us to do, we really need the vaccine, and we cannot watch anyone die at our pack any longer desperately and Helena rolled her eyes at his words before asking You really need the vaccine? and the driver nodded his head immediately,

Then kneel she blurt out and silence swept the room for several seconds. The driver and Darco both glanced at each other to confirm if they heard her well before her voice resonated through once more.

I say you should kneel and beg for it she repeated her words and the driver got on his knees immediately. She turned to him and waved her finger, I was not talking to you she said before facing Darco, You should be the one to kneel, Alpha Darco she stated with a grin and Darco could not believe what he just heard.

How dare she?

CHAPTER 3

Darco's POV

Has it been over a year and half I last saw Helena? She had come to me with a smiling face that early morning with a clear sky and atmosphere of spring at the Lead Lake situated at the pack. She was jumping and hopping through the metal rails of the bridge and I couldn't get enough of her radiating beauty as I stared at her from afar where I was waiting for her.

She called out to me Darco with a wave and I smiled back before proceeding to walk towards her direction. Running to my side with a woven bamboo basket in her hand, she was giggling and finally linked her arms around mine when we met halfway on the bridge. She was my mate and we have been dating for over two years, everyone knew about us but we were never ashamed or try to hide that fact.

She would come over to my place and I would walk her back to her place whenever she's leaving making us the inseparable love birds. Did you wait for long? she asked as we turned to walk down the bridge and I replied with No, I just got here not quite long, lying, even though I had been waiting on the bridge for over thirty minutes.

I am sorry I came late, I suddenly had to fix some things and that took a while she apologized and I told her it was okay.

We went to the huge field close to the mountain and settled there to eat the food she brought along, we had promised to go on a picnic that day.

After eating, we ran around the field, looked at flowers and went back to the bridge to look at several fishes playing in the water. We were still on our date with our finger intertwined when Gray, the Beta' son rushed to our side with a panicked expression.

I asked What's wrong? with a calm voice and he blurt out There is trouble at the palace making me wonder what type of trouble it could be.

We rushed down to the palace to see the dead bodies of both the Alpha and Luna being carried out on a stretcher as they carried them into the ambulance. My eyes flashed between black and red for minutes as I could not comprehend what was happening in front of me.

I shouted What just happened? What happened to them? at the security guards standing in front of them and one of the guards informed me They were visited by the Jones family and the next thing we heard was gunshots. Series of gunshots were fired by them and they killed both the Alpha and the Luna which I laughed crazily at for a while because there is no how they would do that.

The Jones are my in-laws and their daughter is right beside me with the basket we brought from our picnic so why should this kind of expensive joke be playing itself out right in front of me? Something didn't feel right no matter how I tried to look at it from different angles. One of the police officers walked up to us and said You will have to come with us for questioning and we will be arresting you without warrant to Helena who was still standing beside me.

What do you mean I am under arrest? I didn't do anything she protested but the officer answered Your parents killed both the Luna and the Alpha so we need you for further questioning before leading her into the van.

The case was investigated and it was proven that she knew about it, and that was the reason she called me out for the damn picnic. She clearly told me that her calling me out for the picnic was the last favor she could offer so I wouldn't get killed, that statement made me despise her so much at that very moment. What audacity? She did me a last favor
