Noah's POV.
I don't know exactly what is happening around me as I was stuck inside the cart, the chain bounded me giving me not a single chance to move an inch.
The cart was going in different directions that I can't tell, I wasn't even hearing what was going on outside due to the material used to build the cart, I sat still without any struggle, my mind was wandering in different thoughts.
My Dad is dead and his death was caused by Alpha Dolph. I should be enraged and kill him too, that was what I was actually about to do but Layla changed it all, all my life, I had been under my father and he made me believe one thing, Mates are evil! I had to hate love and act cruelly, many had died in my hand, I hate seeing people who found their mate because they act weak and soft, I had always dream to be like my father, ruling over the Red Moon Pack with an iron fist, killing my mate and being feared by everyone around me.
Never had I thought of this day when I will let the killer of my father live all because killing them would hurt my mate, I was all ready to wipe them out with a single blow not until she came with those teary eyes.
But then, how can I explain what happened, It was all strange, I don't know who King Liam is neither do I know who got that voice that spoke to me, all I knew was the huge effect it had on me, the way the voice wiped out my anger and left me weak was what I can't stop wondering.
She told me the real enemy was Scarlett and not the Pack. Scarlett was the same woman who was Dolph's mate that made my father turn into a beast. The voice was different from that of Layla but yet the It made me feel the same way I feels for Layla.
It was just so strange.
My head pounds heavily as I rest my head on the metal walls, It was hard to find myself here, it has been a while since I was bundled into this place yet nothing had happened, no one had come to bring me out or give me an idea of what is happening outside.
I refuse to use my powers to do anything, I won't want to hurt Layla the more, she is very angry with me at the moment and might get furious if I cause another damage.
I don't want to hurt her anymore.
Finally, the cart stopped once again and I heard footsteps for the first time, The door was unlocked with a clanking sound and it made a creaky sound that made me sigh waiting to know what fate I got in the hand of the men, I can't tell how my powers got so great today but then I don't think I did it on my own, I felt someone took over me and the only person I can lay hand on was the strange man; King Liam.
A bright light illuminated the cart and I was dragged out almost immediately not having the chance to catch a glimpse at whoever drew me out.
I fell to the ground and was dragged up like a pauper, the guards took me into the mansion.
As soon as we got into the hall, they pushed me to the ground like trash, I was angry at that but I was never going back at my promise to Layla.
I raised my gaze to them all then to the surroundings and found out we were in a different place , away from the Royal pack house which I knew, the first person i searched for was Layla but it seem i was never going to catch a glimpse of her because, there was no sign of her existence around.
I tried mind linking but it was never working, the tie had been severe , I can't tell how possible it was or who the hell did it!!
I scanned around every faces around me staring and could see nothing but hatred deep in their eyes. The Alpha, his beta, the Gamma, head warrior and other survivors, all had no smile as they glare at me like their eyes were guns.
My eyes darted to Scarlett who stood beside Dolph holding his hand gently making me sigh, she looks innocent but evil on the inside.
"Who gave you the powers of King Liam??", the Beta was the first to throw the question , i couldn't reply as his question sounded weird to my ear…
"Where did you get those powers of the Dragon??, King Liam has nothing to do with werewolf, tell us what connection you have with him??", Alpha Dolph growled.
"Where is Layla?", I asked roaming my eyes around the building.
Seeing her was the only thing my heart craved, I badly want to see that beautiful face, enchanting smiles, dimples, unique eyes.
Oh Gosh, everything about her is what I desire.
"Are you mad?", The Gamma howled as they all sneered at me as if I had grown horns,
"What happened to my daughter, Hazel , you and your father killed her!!...for what reason ?", Scarlett asked with a crack tone of pretence and i felt nothing but anger grow in me.
She is the real enemy!!!
"So it was a trick all this while when you claimed to be my daughter's mate , you had the plan to kill her", Dolph gruffed but i gave no reply.
"Do you know you are in our hands now and we can kill you at any will?", Dolph added.
"I think we should kill him and Layla tomorrow, then sacrifice their bodies to the moon goddess. We can't keep allowing them to live!!", the Beta gruffed.
"Where is Layla now?... I want to see her ", I spoke out and a heavy punch landed on my face followed by a kick to my belly , the Alpha dragged me up and sent two more punches to my face , this time i felt like my nose broke due to the pain...
I felt blood flow down,
I was still trying to absorb the pain when a whip thrashed across my back sending excruciating pains all over me
I shut my eyes and grunted in pain as the Alpha hit me…
"How dare you and your father kill my daughter! My only daughter!!!", he thundered and headbutted me, I became dizzy and landed heavily on my butt…
My head aches, my back were sore, i felt the trickling down of blood from my back due to the whip lashed on it , the pain made me so weak.
"I let you all live because of Layla!!", I howled and they all pounced on me except Scarlett who sat still without moving , she only watched with a blank expression.
***************************
Scarlett's POV,
I fixed my gaze at Noah and was more confused who he is, everyone knew he was the son of Alpha Alarick not until he showed his hybrid powers of Dragon.
The only man who got the dragon powers was King Liam, having both the Wolf and Dragon beast in a body, I wonder what connection he had with the man i love,
I couldn't hit him at this moment so he would tell me whatever he knows about Liam, at some point, it seemed he was from the same clan as King Liam , how would I dare to hit him?
I just hate him for having affection for Layla so deep that he won't fight back her father and family.
I turned my gaze to Dolph and smirked, I think i guessed it right, his power lies inside the Royal Pack house, I have made a huge success razing it down , he was already weak from hitting Noah but then he tried to keep on since he won't want anyone found out how powerless he has become…
I'm winning already, I can't wait for Oliver to come back and see that his father's pack has ruined…
He can't run forever, he will surely come back and meet his death.
"We can't let him stay strong, he should be tortured terribly along side Layla and i know how we can do it", I spoke out and they all paused and turned to me.
"I have a special fire mixed with Silver , it can tear his soul apart and turn him into a sissy , the same for Layla, we should make them that way since they can't be killed with the royal blood , we are risking our lives by letting demons stay among us!", I stated curtly.
"Scarlett, you are the demon here , stop deceiving yourself!", Noah yelled at me with a deep grunt of pain.
I sneered at him abd turned back to Dolph,
"But is he a demon or dragon?", the Beta asked,
"I'm confused but since we saw his dragon powers then…", His mate added.
"We would then consult King Liam to tell us how someone from the wolf kingdom got the same powers as his", Dolph stated with a deep growl and i felt my heart skip a beat…
"Take him away to the dungeon!", He ordered and walked away feeling both enraged and sad , his eyes were dimmed in weakness, his head sagged and I knew it would take me nothing to end his life…
But what would be my fate when King Liam finds me here?
Oh gosh…
I walked away feeling perturbed, but then a wide smile escaped my lips as I thought of something.
This way was my chance to go back home with Liam.
I smirked and head straight into my new secret room making myself invincible,
With the face of Evelyn, I will return with Liam without stress, since he is looking for Evelyn, he will find one.
********************
Dolph's POV,
We had all moved into a new building, a new packhouse, we were going to stay there temporarily while a new Royal pack house is built, everyone look normal they were glad the war has ended in our favour, they were glad we were able to win the Red moon pack but less they did know what we had become.
It would take some moment before we are being wiped out, the demon clan is surely going to attack someday and that would be the end of Shadow pack, i had being the reason we survived every war, i had been the greatest warrior, the greatest Alpha, killing more than anyone with my powers.
What about now??... I am a pauper, the demon clan has used Layla to destroy me, I wonder how they found the source of my power, i can't even tell if they already know or were trying to check…
The fear of dying was worse than death itself, everyone had gone to bed, everyone must be enjoying their sleep not knowing we will be extinct very soon.
I'll kill Layla and Noah before dying, that would at least salve my saddened heart.
"You aren't sleeping?", i heard the voice of Scarlett.
"You don't have to care, just have your sleep!!", i snapped with a deep sigh.
"You look depressed??... What's eating you up??", she asked making me sigh again, I don't feel like talking, i had no strength to explain my fate but then, I needed someone to share my problem with, someone who would soothe me with my words and hopes when they would be lies.
"You won't understand", I hissed shutting my eyes with my mind flashing to the scene of the burnt Royal pack house, it shattered my heart the more that for some moment, I wished i could turn the hand of time…
If that was possible, i don't mind guarding the house other than being on the war front or at least, sending almost all of them to protect it.
"Are you still disturbed about the Royal packhouse that got burnt?", she asked peering at me.
I breathed and covered my face with the duvet, the truth is that i shouldn't hide anything from my Luna, like she is the only one I share my secrets and worries to, but each time i decide to say it out, i feel a great restrain in my heart.
"Is there anything you lost in that house you can't get anymore?", she questioned.
"Get back to sleep and stop asking me those questions!", i snapped getting kind of angry with her even when I can't lay my hand on any reason.
"How do you intend to kill Layla?", she asked and i pulled the duvet away from my face.
"I can't understand why I kept that cruel demon alive all this while, even if i can't kill her , I should ban her from the pack and leave her to the fate of the enemies, she would surely meet her doom out there", I gruffed sitting up immediately as my heart grow heavy in anger.
"I have a way to kill her instantly!", she suggested with a cold voice.
"How??...tell me how I can get rid of that demon", I snorted.
"The mixture of silver and blood of her mate , once she drinks it , she will die!", Scarlett replied leaving me confused.
"How are you sure of that and when did you make such research and found something like that?", i asked and she smirked,
"I won't tell you how I knew it until you tell your reason for keeping those secrets from me since you don't trust me, i don't think i trust you either!", she seethed rolling her eyes…
"What secret?", I asked with a arched eyebrow.
"What did you lose from the razing down of the Royal pack house? Are you powers in there?", she asked and i cringed so hard, my jaw dropped, my eyes fluttered and flicked as fear gripped me.
"What did you just say?", i asked with a raised brow trying to hid my fear from my voice.
"Didn't you hear me well? You looked shocked and terrified, why?", she asked and I heaved a heavy sigh to calm my nerves, this is my deepest secret which i won't let anyone know, especially now that I got no more power and no one can be trusted.
"I think I'm sleepy now", I muttered and lay on the bed with my gaze at the other side, my heart was beating so fast and loud.
Who told her about any special power I got??... Why was she asking those sensitive questions, she is my Luna but there are things I keep a secret from her, I'm afraid of being hunted down.
