Chapter 33
“The future Alpha just offered you a position, boy.”
Our heads whipped to the direction of the door. Meredith stood at the doorway, hands. behind her back as she walked toward us. Isaac stood up, bowing his head in respect before
lifting his gaze.
“Alpha Crestfield.”
He acknowledged. Meredith smiled, nodding for him to take a seat as she got closer. It would seem that her words didn’t fully reach him, so she repeated it again.
“Selene will be taking over my position soon, and she needs a Gamma.”
She turned to me,
“Isn’t that right, Selene?”
I smiled at her. Bringing my attention back to Isaac whose eyes were wide with shock, I shrugged.
“I could really use a Gamma. More preferably, you. Only if you want it, if you don’t-”
“It’ll be my
honor.”
And then, two years later, I was titled Alpha and I chose him as my Gamma. Just like what happened to me, a few were unhappy with an outsider having a position. But like me, he held his own against the challenges. I had told him why I was doing it. I explained my purpose. I told him I wanted revenge and he more than willingly agreed to help me. He wanted their blood as much as I did.
Standing up, I walked out the gym
and noticed that Noah was still waiting outside. He looked at me, a small smile playing on his lips as he dropped his gaze to my ring. He whistled.
“Shiny.”
I rolled my eyes and swatted at him with the towel to which he avoided smoothly. He fell

into step with me as I walked down the pack house, looking for where Isaac was dawdling around. I couldn’t deny that I was getting worried. It wasn’t often where Isaac would get so worked up about something. He only ever did if it was something grave or if it was about the rogues.
“Isaac’s in your office.”
Noah answered my unspoken question suddenly. I said nothing as we turned to my office.
Twisting the doorknob open, I caught a whiff of Isaac’s scent all around the room. He was
ating, not even noticing us walking in. The look on his face was concerning. It took him a full minute to realize I was standing there. When his eyes met mine, he straightened. All traces of nervousness gone from his expression, but I knew better.
“What’s going on?”
I deadpanned. Isaac glanced over at Noah before swallowing,
“They caught rogues. Two of them. The Chancellor is calling for a meeting involving all Alpha’s to decide what to do with them.”
I soaked in his words, feeling slight dread come over me. All Alpha’s, huh? I knew this day was coming. The day where I’d have to see them again. To face the people who tore me. down and forced me into who I am today.
“When?”
“Tomorrow.”
I pinched the bridge of my nose in irritation. Of fucking course. Looking at Noah, I mind. linked him to get the car ready. A room full of Alphas is a room full of aggressive tension that could easily break if one were to say the wrong thing. Noah excused himself, already beginning to prepare for tomorrow. When he closed the door shut, Isaac scowled at the
floor.
“It’s them, Selene.”
Isaac’s gaze hardened as fire swirled in the thick of his emotions. His fists clenched, adorning his skin.
“Fio and Val. They were caught.“
Landon’s Pov
My eyes snapped open. My heart pounding out of my chest as I sat up in panic. My hands balled around the thick blanket over my legs and yanked it off in frustration. I wasn’t surprised to find it soaking from the sweat pouring out of me. My hands were shaking, body trembling from my nightmare.
happened again.
I had that same, fucking nightmare.
And the subject of the said nightmare was the same as usual.
My mate.
Selene.
I sighed, running my hands down my face and hunched over the bed. This was the second. week since I started getting these nightmares. It was always the same thing. I would see her face twisting in pain. The night when we found out we were mates, the face she made of excitement and happiness before turning to one of grief when I said those words to her.
I won’t accept you, Selene.
I never will.
I cringed at the face she made. The look of pure devastation as her heart broke. I felt it within me. Our bond resisting the pain I knowingly inflicted on her. Those pale blue
eyes glazing over with tears caused by me. The way her body shook when we severed our bonds, then the way she turned back in the van and met my eyes while I held onto Hestia.
A flare of anger brewed inside me.
I threw my head back, eyes shut in attempt to calm myself. It was four years ago. Four years since I last saw my Moon Given gift. Four years since I broke her little heart for her
sister.
The sister who found her mate three weeks ago.
Chapter 33
Growling in aggravation, I pounded my fist against the bed. The bed I now slept alone in. Hestia, since finding her mate, decided to sleep separately in a guest room. She “wanted time to think about what to do with her mate. The thought angered me. She was hesitating in rejecting her mate for me when I didn’t even falter in rejecting mine. Not even when it
was her own sister.
