BOOK 2 CHAPTER 25
Harriette’s POV
As I turned to see who it was, I realized it was Alpha Rowan. Not only was I shocked but I was also confused as to what to do
next.
I was so close to the border. Five more steps and I was out of that rogue pack. Forever!
He growled, demanding my submission but I ignored it and I didn’t stop fighting. I wanted to leave more than anything else. Even more than breathing.
Alpha Rowan grabbed my chin, holding it tightly.
“Submit, Harriette,” his voice was gentle yet firm and domineering,
1 bit down on my tongue as I glowered hard at him.
“Let me go.“1 demanded.
He s shook his head. “Not even if you go on your knees and beg me,” he spat.
His hand slipped from holding me hostage and I used that opportunity to try to run. I didn’t move two steps from where we were standing when he grabbed me again. My legs sunk into a sharp object and I hissed.
I didn’t cry out in pain because that pain was nothing compared to the pain of not getting to leave tonight.
“Let me go,” I yelled.
He suddenly covered my mouth with his large palm. “You want to wake everyone up and explain to them why and how you’re at the border at this time of the night. Be my guest,”
He removed his hand and I could only breathe heavily.
Alpha Rowan picked me up and threw me across his shoulder like I weighed nothing
“I can walk, I insisted.
He didn’t answer me. I tried turning to stare at the borders again but I couldn’t.
I was so close. I almost cried.
I was a bit worried about Ella since I couldn’t find her but I was sure she had managed to escape. She was a strong girl
She would get herself out without any trouble in any way possible.
It wasn’t until we arrived at the Alpha’s office that Alpha Rowan let me down from his shoulder. My injured feet touched the floor and I almost screamed.
Alpha Rowan looked back, stared at me with those soulful eyes and I looked away. He threw his office door open and he dragged me in.
As I looked ahead, I saw Gideon, Commander Mika, and to my greatest surprise, Ella. She was on her knees with her hands
tied to her back
“I wasn’t expecting you to bring her back like this. She was supposed to be bound leg to feet,” Commander Mika spat.

“I trusted you, Harriette she yelled at me.
t
I frowned. I hadn’t done anything wrong to her. I wanted to leave. Was that an act of betrayal or was it a criminal offense? I
almost asked.
Maybe she was aware that we lied about our pack. Could Alpha Rowan have told her?
Gideon loosened the tie on Ella’s hand and she ran to my side. held her hand. She stared at my feet and I noticed she had a worried look on her face.
At that moment, I wished we had the mind–link too. I could’ve asked her how she ended up here.
“How could you steal from Alpha Rowan and decide to leave in the middle of the night? Commander Mika asked angrily.
Was that question for me or for someone else?
1 pointed to myself as I looked at her. “Me? Lasked her.
Commander Mika sneered. Steal from Rowan?
I stared at Alpha Rowan for an explanation but he said nothing. He was sitting, staring at his devil’s equipment called a laptop.
Harriette had nothing to do with it. It was all me.” Ella suddenly answered from behind me.
“What?” I spat.
I turned to her and she looked up at me. What the fuck was she talking about?
“What did you steal?” I asked her. She shook her head slowly and looked away.
“I asked you a fucking question, Ella, I asked through gritted teeth.
She opened her palm to show me something that looked like a diamond. A red diamond if I could boldly say.
I wanted to give it to Mother, Harriette,” she whispered to me,
“No Whispering!” Gideon commanded.
Wait! Wait! Whatever it was, didn’t make sense to me anymore. What was happening again?
“What are you talking about, Ella?” I asked again, gently this time
“Are you saying you weren’t aware she stole from Alpha Rowan Commander Mika asked me.
My mouth dropped open but no words came out.
“No, she didn’t know anything.” Ella answered beside me. The pain in my leg suddenly shot up reminding me it was still
there.
Why was I not healing as fast as usual?
That wasn’t my
y main concern at the moment anyway, so I tried as much as possible to ignore the pain.
“Then, why were you leaving with her, Harriette?”
Commander Mika asked yet another question that I couldn’t answer.
“Because I told her I wanted us to go home. I told her we should leave since I was tired of this place and she agreed. She
Chapter 155
didn’t want me to go bark liqme alone,”
Ella answered and stared at me. I kept staring at her in disbelief. Our lies in the rogue pack as long as we stayed here were supposed to be coordinated, not one–sided.
At that moment, I was lost for words. Nothing was making sense and I was beginning to feel dizzy.
I slipped to the floor and rested my back against the wall.
“Collect the diamond from her and keep her in a cell till I say otherwise,”
Alpha Rowan instructed. He finally looked up for the first time since we both walked in.
“Yes, Alpha,” Gideon bowed and walked towards Ella.
He collected the diamond first and took it back to Alpha Rowan
“Wait! Wait! I’m sure there’s a mistake somewhere. Ella wouldn’t steal anything. I know her and I can vouch for her,” I said my truth.
“Ella, did you or did you not steal the diamond from Alpha Rowan?” Commander Mika asked.
“I did and I feel terrible for it,”
Ella answered.
Take her away, Gideon,”
As Gideon took Ella away, her eyes didn’t leave me. I don’t believe Ella did that. Something else was going on that I didn’t know about.
There was no way Ella would steal from someone. She the owner’s approval.
he would rather starve to death than pluck from a mango
tree without
A diamond? That shit was impossible.
“Leave, Mika,” Alpha Rowan commanded.
Commander Mika bowed. She stared at me and gave me a small inod before she walked out of the room
It remained Alpha Rowan and I. Silence filled the room for the next two minutes. We both stared at each other. Not one of us said a word to the other person. I was becoming weak and I couldn’t pinpoint the reason why. The pain in my leg had doubled and I was guessing that was where the weakness came from.
“Wondering why you’re not healing yet, aren’t you?” He asked.
I almost cried out when I felt the pain again. I stared at him.
“Even with your Alpha genes, you aren’t immune to poisoned silver,”
Shit! I knew it. I could feel the pain up to my knee. It was as though my leg was being strangled and drained of blood.
As I blinked and opened my eyes again, Alpha Rowan was right in front of me on one knee. He removed the shoe I was wearing on the injured leg and then my sock. He gently placed the leg down and went back to his table.
“This is going to hurt,” Although my vision was becoming blurry, I could still see the knife in his hand. “What are you doing?” I asked through the pain.

As the knife came near the wound, I screamed out in pain. It was excruciating and crazy Alpha Rowan held me down with his free arm. I began breathing heavily and I was sweating profusely. My vision was pitch black now and darkness surrounded the cloud.
Shit!
I lost consciousness and I was back in my nightmares again.
This time, I was somewhere different. It was a place I’d never been before and I saw faces I’d never seen before.
“Alpha Mason,” Someone suddenly called out and a man in his thirties turned to me.
He grabbed hold of my
