CHAPTER 021
I didn’t get much sleep that night and when I got up I went jogging again in the morning before I got back to the castle and I had a shower.
got dressed into a low cut pale pink knee length dress with long sleeves and matching
pumps.
I did my hair and applied a little bit of makeup before I walked downstairs to the office.
I got on the computer and I compiled everything that we had on Felix and I took it all to the
dining room.
I studied everything that we had on him while I ate breakfast and Anna came into the dining
room and sat at one of the other chairs at the table.
“Is everything alright? You look tired.” Anna said.
“I didn’t get much sleep last night.” I answered without looking up at her. I was too consumed by what I was reading.
“You really didn’t know Felix was there?” She asked.
“No. I haven’t been to the village in a while. Mom hasn’t left town for ages so she always goes. She never mentioned Felix or anything to do with him.” I said.
“I bet you’ll be happy when they get back tonight.” She said.
“You have no idea.” I said.
When I was finished eating I put everything back in the office and I locked the door so no one
else could go inside and I started walking down the stairs towards the village.
I checked in with all the guards that I had posted in the village as soon as I got there and they told me that it was a really quiet night.
Felix came out once, as soon as I left, but when he saw the guards he went back into his
house and hasn’t come back out since.
I strategically placed the guards so Felix would see them as soon as he stepped outside of his
house.
I wasn’t going to let him hurt anyone and I needed him to know that he was being watched. And whatever was going on, he wasn’t going to get away with it. My phone started ringing and it said Lucas, but I ignored it because I was busy at the moment. And that wasn’t the last time he called me that day. But I was too busy to talk to him right now. I had to stay here and do

what I was doing.
I talked with a few people about basic things that they wanted to talk about but when I saw
Jesse I went after him and I found him around the back of one of the houses.
“Why are you running from me Jesse?” I asked.
“Why are you back here? You’re just going to make things worse.”
“What are you talking about? How are things worse?”
“You wouldn’t understand.”
“Jesse. I’m here to help you. If someone is hurting you then you need to tell me and that person will be dealt with. Immediately.” I said.
“I can’t.” He said. He looked back at me with a lot of fear written all over his face.
I couldn’t Alpha command him to tell me anything. It looks like he’s already been through
enough. So I made sure the village had a regular rotation of guards to make sure that nothing
else happened to them.
I really cared about the people in my pack and I wasn’t going to let someone like Felix walk in
and ruin everything that my mother built.
This is meant to be a safe haven for every wolf. Not someone who wants to use it as his own
personal town to use and abuse.
He obviously underestimated me when he met me yesterday, thinking I was just a princess
and that I didn’t care about these people.
He probably thought the same as what everyone else thinks. I’m just a teenage girl who
doesn’t give a s**t and I wouldn’t care what he does and that I don’t care what happens around
here.
He was really wrong in assuming that I was going to let this
crap slide.
I saw Felix come out of his house a couple times during the day, and people noticeably stiffen
when he walks near them. So I took note of everything.
But he was also watching me while I was watching him.
And we both knew that we were watching each other.
He looked extremely pissed off every time he came out of his house and I was still there, but
he would only stay outside for a little while before he went back inside.
I waited around for the guard change and when they were all set up I left the village again.

CHAPTER 021
I walked out to the field and I stood there staring up at the night sky just as Anna walked
behind me and handed me my jacket.
“It’s getting way too cold for you to be walking around at night in that dress.” She said.
“Thanks.” I said.
“Can I escort you up to the castle?” She asked.
“No. You go ahead. I’m gonna go for a walk and clear my head.” I said.
“Are you sure? I mean, Felix looked pretty pissed off with you.”
“Yeah. I’ve got my guards that never leave me. I’ll be alright.” I said.
up
So she turned to look at the guards and then she nodded to me and she started walking up
the stairs to the castle and I started walking through the field.
I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t have a destination in mind, I just started walking
towards the town where my school was.
There were lights lit up everywhere and I could smell the wood burning from all the fireplaces
that were going in all the houses.
I put my jacket on and I just kept walking until I was in the middle of town.
A lot of businesses were already closed but the diner and some of those places were still
open.
I finally picked a direction to walk in and I found myself walking towards Lucas‘ house.
I had ignored a few calls from him today so I thought I’d go and see him.
I didn’t want to see Hazel so when I got to the house, I walked around the side of the house and I saw Lucas‘ bedroom light on.
But as I approached the window I saw that he was in there with Levi.
What was Levi doing here? They hate each other and they are fighting over me. Trying to get my attention from each other.
“I thought we agreed to play fair.” Lucas said.
“I couldn’t help it. Alright. I didn’t want you to win. You know I’m competitive.” Levi said, shrugging his shoulders.
“I don’t care. I didn’t butt in on your date.” Lucas said.
“Only because you didn’t know where we were. But she said that she loved it.” Levi gloated.

“Do you really think you’re going to win this bet?” Lucas asked.
“I am definitely going to win this bet. Because you’re not getting your hands on that damn house. Mom and dad left that house to both of us.” Levi said.
“And you left as soon as you could. I had to stay there and put up with their bullshit while you let yourself get adopted. You placed yourself up for adoption when you were 10 and moved to this pack just to get away from our parents. That means you have no right to anything that they owned.” Lucas said.
“I don’t care. You’ll see. I’m going to sleep with Emma first and then you will have to give me the whole f*****g house.” Levi laughed.
I stood there frozen in shock until I lost my balance and I grabbed onto the windowsill before I
fell to the ground.
Suddenly the window opened and I looked up and saw Lucas and Levi both standing there
looking at me.
Their eyes were wide with shock and I was doing everything I could to stop the tears from falling from my face.
“Emma.” Lucas said.
I started backing away from the house while shaking my head and I headed for the front of the house and back towards the field.
I started running but I couldn’t run in these damn high heels so I kicked them off and kept
running.
I heard Lucas and Levi behind me, both yelling out for me.
They were gaining on me and I didn’t know where my guards were. Why weren’t they stopping
this?
I eventually turned around and I saw how close they were getting to me and I raised my hand
in the air.
“Stop!” I screamed, suddenly releasing a sonic blast from my hand forcing Lucas and Levi off of their feet and throwing them backwards to the other side of the field.
I stood there looking at my hand for a moment, but then I shook it off and I turned around and kept running back to the house.
