ERICA'S POV:-
After a minute, Alpha Kaden pulled away and unlocked the car. He stepped out of the car and put me down on my feet. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into Alpha Blake's mansion. As soon as we stepped inside, Briana walked towards us with a mischievous grin on her face. Wiggling her eyebrows, she was staring at us both. "You both went to the roof in different clothes. And came back into the mansion from the main door. And your clothes are changed. What have you been doing?" She asked us in a mischievous tone. Her eyes were shining as always when she was about to get a ton of gossip. My cheeks burned and I tried to pull away. But Alpha Kaden pulled me to his chest instead and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"What else could be going on between us. Can't you see what is going on? You waste too much time asking questions, Briana." I gasped in surprise as I heard Alpha Kaden blowing the ashes of her suspicion. My mouth hung open when I heard his words. I tried to break free from his hold but he pecked my cheek instead. Adding some more spice. He then pulled away from me. He slipped his hands in the pockets of his pants and walked away from us. While I was left behind, staring at my feet. I felt like I was suddenly betrayed. Well, in a good way. I was not upset or anything.
I cleared my throat and walked away from Briana. While she was staring at me. She tried to ask me something. But I was gone by then. I saw Samia standing afar. I walked towards her with a wide smile on my face. Seeing me smiling, a wide smile appeared on her face. "You look like you have resolved all issues within a few hours. And now you are finally at peace. Did everything go well? Or were there issues you couldn't handle? It doesn't look like you have any issues left." She asked in a low tone while staring at me. I bit my lower lip and nodded my head. It was true. After a long time, I was finally at peace.
Maybe it was because I was no longer on bad terms with my Alpha. Or maybe it was because I felt like the weight was finally lifted off of my chest. Either way, I was finally at peace. "Yes! Everything worked out fine. I don't know anything about the future. But right now, everything is better. It feels like a heavy weight was lifted off of my chest once I told him everything. Maybe that was the problem all along. I didn't tell him anything while he deserved to know the truth." I replied to her while playing with my fingers. It felt good when he told me that Alen would be at peace knowing that I was fine. It brought a smile back to my face.
We heard glass clinking. We all turned around and found Nickolas staring at the crowd. "I am not going to take longer, everyone. I will be done soon. But I feel like sharing this magnificent news with everyone. At least, Erica and Samia deserve to know what happened." Nickolas announced in a low tone while looking at me. I gulped hard as I knew exactly what he was about to announce. I was waiting for him to tell us what actually happened to all the criminals. It all started with Chief Yalin's death. And everything has been chaotic ever since. We couldn't find peace ever since. It was now time for us to stop mourning and start afresh again. It was not going to be easy for anyone. But we had to try.
An arm wrapped around my waist and I was pulled to a tall figure. I didn't need to look at his face to confirm who dared to touch me. It was Alpha Kaden. He might have felt the uneasy feeling I was feeling inside my chest. Because the next moment, he was standing beside me. "Mathew and his father have been found guilty, as Samia has been continuously telling us. With the help of Melissa's confession and Samia's and Alen's hard work, we are finally able to capture the people whose hands are covered in not only Chief Yalin's blood but also Alen's blood." Nickolas announced and Alpha Blake fell on the ground, crying out loud.
Nickolas walked towards her and hugged her tightly. While Alpha Kaden was rubbing my back. I looked at Samia who was engulfed by Carlos. "The Six Omegas found both Mathew and his father, the Omega number 1, guilty. And they are both sentenced to be slashed two hundred times in front of Alen's and chief Yalin's graves. And after that, the Omegas have asked for Carlos to behead them both. Their bodies will be left for the wild animals to munch on. While their heads will be hanged in front of the Omega's mansion forever." He added in as loudly as he could. Clutching my chest, I closed my eyes and thanked God. At least, Alen's sacrifice didn't go vain. He was able to avenge Chief Yalin too.
"The Omegas have decided for Blake and Erica to slash both Mathew and his father. As they both have lost someone dear to them. They wanted Samia to slash them for Alen. But Samia wanted Erica to have that chance. To punish the man who took the life of someone she loved. Next weekend, we will all be going to the graveyard to punish the criminals. And as Blake requested, Melissa and Ayla's people are given another chance to make it right. They are offered to serve as knights for the rest of their lives." Nickolas added and a wide smile appeared on my face. I was finally at peace. Knowing that they would finally be punished for their sins.
"Alpha Alen willed me to give his place to Carlos. And of course, we can't ever find anyone better to lead the hounds anymore. Carlos will be the new Alpha of the hounds. And his team includes Samia, Erica, Eli, Venessa and Alpha Kaden. As Alpha Blake has also apologised to everyone and she has learned her lesson too, she is back as the Alpha of the Havocs. Her team includes William, Briana, Isaac, Benjamin, Victoria and Rebecca. Victoria and Rebecca will be joining the knights next month." Nicholas announced and I frowned in confusion. I turned to look at Alpha Kaden. He was nervously rubbing the back of his neck. He didn't even mention once that he was going to join the knights permanently.
As he saw me staring at him with a confused frown on my face, he winked at me while smiling mischievously. My cheeks burned again and I looked away from him. "All the Hounds and the Havocs, bow before your Alphas. Submit to their dominance." Nicholas ordered us all. We all turned towards our alphas and bowed down in respect. As mentioned in the laws, we all stood up after a few minutes. All the lights went off and I gasped. In a minute, I saw candles on a cake. Alpha Kaden pulled me towards the cake. I cut the cake and served everyone. Everyone greeted me. I was happy that finally, I had the family I had always wanted. I had somewhere I belonged.
After dinner, I was standing outside of Alpha Blake's mansion. Alpha Carlos and Samia walked out of the mansion. "We were just looking for you. Are you not coming with us, Erica?" Samia asked me in a low tone as Carlos walked towards the car and unlocked it for her. I smiled widely and shook my head.
"I will be going with Alpha Kaden. He said he wants to tell the pack everything that actually happened. And he also had something important to talk to me about." I replied with a small smile on my face. I was not sure what it really was. I knew it would be important for him. That was the reason why he asked me to visit the pack.
He didn't have any idea that I was going with him. I didn't tell him at all. "Okay then. Take care of yourself. Stay safe. Don't stay up too long. And don't trouble Alpha Kaden too much. Call me if you need me for anything." She spoke while brushing my hair with her hand gently. I smiled widely and nodded my head. I was grateful that I had a family.
Samia went towards the car. Then Alpha Carlos and Samia drove away. Alpha Kaden stepped out of the mansion and looked at me with a confused frown on his face. "What! I am coming with you. I told you I want to learn everything about your pack." I spoke in a low tone and a wide smile appeared on his face. His eyes were shining when he heard me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the car.
