BOOK 2: CHAPTER 42
Harriette's POV
Right after I ran out of Rowan's office, Luna Angela met up with me. She held my hand tightly as I fought the tears that threatened to fall down my face.
She took me by my hand and led me to the apartment Alpha Rowan had given to me. I placed my head on her shoulder as she said soothing words to me.
I didn't cry. I didn't speak. I didn't close my eyes. I just kept on staring at nothing as I felt dizzy.
Once I realized I had my emotions back on track and the dizziness had stopped, 1 lifted my head and stared at her.
"How are you feeling now?" She asked.
I shrugged. "Good!"
"Are you sure? You know it's okay to cry,"
She comforted me in her own
way.
"Tears are for weaklings. Real wolves shouldn't cry and if we do, we shouldn't do it around others,"
She nodded slowly. I thought she would judge me like everyone else when I say something different from what they know but there wasn't a glint of judgment in her eyes.
“That's okay but it's also okay to cry sometimes,"
I agreed. Just not today,"
She smiled at me.
Alpha Darius opened the door and came in. His shoulder was slumped and he had this look on his face as though he'd disappointed me.
"I tried talking to him but it appeared as though he had made up his mind already,"
I shrugged again. “That's fine by me. I'll leave his pack,”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
They both shared a suspicious look. It looked as though they were doing the mind-link thing again.
"Would you love to come with us?"
She asked me.
"To where?"
"Qur pack. We asked Alpha Rowan and he gave us your document. We read it and we know that you currently don't have a -home to go to right now,"
Shit! Shit! Shit!
"Uhm, yeah,
My lies were catching up to me really hard. When I and Ella told those lies, I wasn't expecting things to be this way. If not, we Chapter 172
would have told a different story.
"So, would you come with us?" She asked.
Could discuss it with my sister first?"

She looked at her husband.
"Your sister?"
I nodded. "Yeah, Ella,"
"Okay," they chorused.
Ella might be acting like a deranged motherfucker these days but there was no way I would make such an important decision without discussing it with her first. At least, we came here together, we should leave together.
worry.
I was about to stand up when Luna Angela stopped me. Is she a deciding factor in your decision?" She asked with wo
Alpha Darius quickly stopped her. "Let her talk to her sister first, Angela. I'm sure if it was you, you wouldn't decide something like that without Brittany,"
He said with a smile.
"Isn't she dead?" I suddenly asked.
They both turned to me and I frowned.
"What did you just say?" They asked
"What? Did I really just say that?" I asked them
Woah! Where was that coming from? How did I even know that?
"I'm so sorry, I stupidly said what came to my mind,"
"Is there anything else that came to your mind?"
Luna Angela asked. I covered my mouth as if hoping I wouldn't say anything crazy again.
"I think I should go talk to Ella,"
I quickly stood up and ran out of the room. Why did I say that? I bit down on my tongue.
On my way to look for Ella, I saw Alpha Rowan on the other side of the road, staring at the apartment I just came out from He had his dark shades
on.
When he saw me, he froze but he didn't look away. He removed the shade and I let out a deep breath of relief I didn't know I'd been holding.
It wasn't Thorne.
How I ended up being involved in his drama was something I couldn't understand but somehow, I could read through the pain in Rowan's eyes. He was the first person to turn around and leave. I also did the same
Ella was with a group of girls when I finally saw her. She was the center of attention while learning some dance steps from them. As she danced. I watched her for a few seconds.
She looked genuinely happy, If not happier than when we were back home.
"Wow, blending in just fine," I spat. "Mother would be so proud of you,"
She turned around sharply and grabbed my hand. Ella pulled me into a secluded area.
"What are you? A sourpuss?" She spat.
I frowned. "I was only messing with you,"
"What do you want? I'm guessing you don't hate me anymore all of a sudden,”
I don't hate you. I was just mad at you. You were being annoying and suspicious,"
She nodded. “I know but you were acting crazy too and weird."
"Uhn, yes and you were weird too. Thanks for reminding me,"
She gave me the stink eye. "What do you want?"
"Alpha Rowan wants me to leave the pack with the people who claimed they're my parents,
"Are they?"
“Was that all you could grab from what I said?” I asked her.
Her eyes suddenly went wide as her brain processed what I just said. "Shit! What happened? What did you do??
I first frowned at her before I rolled my eyes. "Honestly, I don't know. He just suddenly asked me to leave,"
"What are you going to do now?"
"Should we leave with them?" I asked her.
She nodded quickly as though she had been waiting for me to say it. "We're in this together, Harriette. I'll go with you but what about the mission?" she asked.
"Td failed already and since Alpha Rowan wants me to leave, we can't go back home. If we do, Mother will kill me and we also can't stay back
here,"
"Okay, let's do that,"
She urged me on.
Right there, I decided to do something crazy. I would try to carry out the mission one more time. If I failed again, I would leave with Alpha Darius and Luna Angela to their pack, but if I succeeded, I would go back home with Ella.
This time, I won't tell Ella of my plan.
"Why have you been acting weird anyway?" I asked her.
She turned to give me that infamous worried look. "Something strange is going on. Remember the girl we shared a room with when we first came
here?"
I nodded. The name my brain refused to remember her name. The same one I almost killed because she hurt Ella.
"Of course, I remember that bitch,"
"You should hear her talk,"
Fri, Nov
I tilted my head. "Why would I do that?"
"What?"
1. me. "She acts and talks just like us. I mean exactly like us. You would think we grew up in the same pack,"
"The crazy thing is I think she's here for the same reason we are
Wait! What! If she was here for the same reason, does that meant wasn't the only one sent here to kill Rowan?
How? How could that be possible?
"Was that why.." I stopped.
"That was why I came up with a plan to get rid of her in the first place. She was asking me some weird questions and I knew I had to get her out of
our room,"
"She didn't hit you, did she?"
She smirked. “No, she did, but I facilitated it. What's a little drama that I can't perform?"
My eyes went wide.
I wouldn't mind kicking Ella's ass right now but I needed to look more into the other girl.
If anyone were to kill Rowan, it would be me.
Any other person trying to hurt him would have to pass through me and unfortunately die by my hand.
Why?
Cause he's mine to kill or save.
