“Oh, now it makes sense. She’s that lady from the hotel!”

“What hotel are you talking about?” Her grandmother insisted.

Marta shook her head, not wanting to narrate the story in front of Penelope. She never told her family the story.

Years before she got the twins, she had to do a lot to stay by Jaris‘ side. That included getting rid of any bitch that might get his attention.

There were times when Jaris would be really pissed and wanted to take it out in bed on someone, but he had developed a certain dislike for Marta and hardly touched her. So, he’d go for other girls.

Marta kept a tab on him and knew all about his movements without him knowing. She knew when he met the ugly girl at the bar and took her to his hotel. But unlike him, he stayed the night. That was what bothered her.

She was even more surprised when she contacted the hotel and they told her Jaris was booking for another day.

She had to make a quick plan.

Fortunately, something urgent happened in the pack that was enough to make him leave the hotel in a hurry. Then, she bribed one of the staff to get the ugly thing to leave.

Marta didn’t bother to know more about the girl. After all, it was the last time Jaris ever saw her.

So, how did she get pregnant from a one–night intercourse? Did she do it on purpose?

“We need to find her,” she placed her palm against her forehead. “We must do whatever it takes to find her.”

LYRIC

I’d just finished from my shift at TCH and was at the ground floor heading to the exit when I heard someone call me from behind.

“Excuse me! Doctor Lyric!”

I stopped walking and turned around to see one of the securities holding a wrapped box in his hand.

“I was just on my way to your office. This came in for you.”

I had my brows furrowed as I looked at it. A present for me?

“Who sent it?”

He smiled as he answered, “Alpha Jaris.”

My heart nosedived. What the hell? Jaris was sending me gifts?

Time seemed to stretch as I stared at the present without touching it. What was he playing at?

It’s been two days since I left his Pack. He was no doubt, disappointed with the way I handled things when he came to father’s pack, and since he left, I hadn’t heard from him again.

I hated the deep feeling of loneliness I felt. But I wasn’t ready to forget what happened. I still felt insulted and ashamed each time I remembered his words.

“Tell him I don’t need it,” I replied with a chill in my voice, then turned and left.

I got into my car and drove off to meet with Jace.

JARIS

“She rejected it,” Kael whispered in my ear before he stepped back.

My hands clenched into fists as I forced myself to remember the fact that I was in a meeting and there were so many eyes on me. I couldn’t act out in front of all these people.

But damn Lyric for giving me a hard time.

What exactly did she want, huh? For the first time I was getting her a gift and she dared to reject it?

Fine, I was wrong. I hurt her feelings with my words and did go a little too far. But what else did I have to do to get her forgiveness?

I even had to go to her father’s Pack to try and bring her back. I forgave the fact she was rude to me in front of others. Now I was sending her presents. What more did she want?

“This case looks too familiar,” one of the elders tsked, shaking his head. “If they’re really sucking the blood of wolves, it only means it’s the Feeders. They’re back?”

“That can’t be. It’s been nine years already. I thought they were trapped and could never be released?”

I pinched the bridge of my nose, hating this conversation already.

I had to bring it up after Zarek told me Lyric had been attacked by another group of those suckers. It was time to face reality. The threat was back.

“I think they must have found a way to break out,” I said to them. “Right now, if it’s truly thern, we have to find a way to put them in order.”

“You speak like it’s easy to do. You hadn’t been Alpha ten years ago, but I think you should’ve heard about the destruction they caused, Jaris, and how difficult it had been I put them down.”

I was tempted to laugh at the elder that had just spoken to me. They thought I didn’t know a thing? They were actually the ones that didn’t know nothing about what happened ten years ago.

Who did they think put the suckers down in the first place? Who got rid of my stupid brother who was always leading them on?

Everyone just woke up one day and discovered their problems were gone, and they thought they went away on their own?! did so much to make those problems go away.

“I understand how serious and dangerous it is,” I relaxed even more in my chair. “I wouldn’t bring it here if I didn’t. But more of our people are going to die if we don’t get it handled.”

The meeting lasted for almost an hour. Everyone kept throwing in suggestions.

The Feeders were the wolves‘ nemesis. The reason they were quite strong was due to the fact that they sucked off the blood of other wolves.

They were a rare species that started existing on earth only a thousand years ago. When they were newly discovered, their kind was killed off as much as possible. They went into extinction, but they kept reproducing, and over the years, kept coming back.

They were dangerous to the wolves. Very dangerous.

The elders decided to pass an information to every other Pack, telling them to put out more security measures in place. If most of Feeders got killed, perhaps, it would stop the others from bothering us for now.

These were the kind of situations the Alpha King handled. Now, more than ever, the wolves needed one.

When we finished the discussion of the Feeders, they brought it up to me.
