Chapter 49


    Chapter 49


    Could it be that Nightwake has something Xeneron wants?


    Thinking more and more about this, Walker’s invitation was only getting more appealing. I could use


    this to my advantage, scope out anything I could find and just maybee home with answers.


    Possibly hear things while my visit there. Whatever the rogues want, Nightwake has. Once I find out


    what exactly that is, I’ll gather the evidence I need and file for a case against Nightwake.


    Pursing my lips together, I nodded to myself before turning on my heels and walking into the pack


    house. If I was going to visit a pack, i would of course have to dress for the asion. Noah followed a


    few steps behind, waiting patiently for what I would say next.


    “Get the van ready. We’re leaving now.”


    “Yes, Alpha.”


    The van door slid open with my warriors piling out in a single line. They stood firm and unwavering,


    ring down at anyone throwing looks our way. We were beginning to attract attention. A lot of it. I


    swung my legs over the car seat, letting my feet sink into Nightwake territory. It was still the same; vast


    land surrounded by smaller houses and a huge house meant for the Alpha right in the middle with a


    huge field in the far side of the territory. The simple, modern buildings identical to the ones I could


    salvage through my memories.


    It hardly changed.


    A few bystanders took the time to stop whatever they were doing to stare. Some actively trying to find


    out where the Alpha was or who we were. Our unfamiliar scents traveled far and wide seeing as a few


    people stuck their heads out the window to investigate. I could feel their suspicions projected onto us


    from their gazes. Wolves didn’t like non-pack to be on their territory. They felt threatened if not


    extremely intimidated.


    I was certain Landon kept our visit to himself rather than letting his pack members know.


    They lookedpletely confused and a little hostile from our arrival.


    Most of these people were the ones who grew up with me knowing only my name and my sister.


    People who never treated me bad but instead acted like I didn’t exist. It was bad enough the ce


    gave me unwanted memories but now it’s trying to suck me back in the past? Breathing in the scent I


    was so familiar with but soon grew stranger to, a sense of nostalgia came over me. Snippets of seeing


    myself walk down the path from school all alone lingered in my mind. The garden I used to tend to,


    probably forgotten about and withered away.


    Noah stood by my side, standing tall and looking sharp with a suit he only wore when visiting outside


    packs. He looked over the area, no doubt noting theyout. It was his first time setting foot on


    Nightwake.


    “Excuse me, uhm, can we help you?”


    My gaze drifted to a small, petite woman holding onto an infant of about six months old. She watched


    us curiously, bright tawny eyes squinting with intrigue. Noah immediately stepped forward, nodding at


    her before gesturing to me.


    “My Alpha, Selene Crestfield of Greyhound Territory, was invited by Alpha Walker for a meeting. We


    were told toe here today, but I see that no one is really expecting us…”


    There was slight irritation in Noah’s voice. When an Alpha visits another pack, it’smon courtesy for


    the Alpha of the territory to receive their guests personally. Often making a big deal of it by


    having a weing feast. It established respect on his counterpart and demonstrates good will toward


    the visitor.


    Good will my a ss.


    The only good Landon can ever do is to stay the hell out of my way.


    Just before the girl could respond, we noticed someone pushing through the crowd. I knew from the


    scent of him, who it was. I kept my head high and watched as Benicio managed to squeeze through the


    bodies of nosy spectators. He was breathing hard as he fought to catch his breath. Once his gaze


    settled on Noah and I, he straightened up. Clearing this throat, he looked me dead in the eyes. “Sele-


    Alpha Crestfield, our apologies for theck of hospitality. We weren’t aware you’d arrive this early.


    Again, forgive us. Alpha Landon is now expecting you at his office.”

    gave him a curt nod. Nothing more, nothing less. My wolf huffed out, tail swishing back and forth


    dismissively at theck of wee. Her sour mood was already beginning to affect mine. Following the


    Beta down the road, whispers passed through the crowd. Some had recognized my individual scent,


    realizing who I was with Benicio’s initial slip up of familiarity.


    Isn’t that Luna Hestia’s sister?


    Didn’t she die? Wasn’t she at Duskfall?


    How is she an Alpha? She doesn’t have Alpha blood in her.


    Look at her neck! Seems like she’s a sole-Alpha. No mate…


    Crestfield? You mean to tell me she changed her name? Traitor! She’s just power hungry!


    I threw a re at the gutsy brte standing by the sidelines. She immediately cowered away when


    she felt my gaze, submissively looking down with her body as stiff as a board. Her friends surrounding


    her stepped away, separating themselves from my locked gaze. A warning growl left my lips. The


    sound reverberating down the yard and caused other heads to look down with hers. Benicio froze,


    fighting the desire to submit when his head dipped an inch lower before hastily quickening his steps.


    His wolf recognized me as an Alpha and instinctively acted upon the pressure
