Alpha Ronan's POV.

My heart is racing in my chest and I feel like I could throw up at any moment. I can't remember the last time I was this panicked or nervous. Fenris is in the back of my mind listening in on everything this entire time.

I didn't have a choice in the matter. I wish I did, but I can't change what's happened. I just got to make it through this and I'm golden.

Something seems a bit different in Amber. She seems so much more confident then she was before. She's giving off an aura of power. It's honestly very intimidating. I haven't felt this type of power from anyone other then Fenris is a long while.

Even the other Alpha's around me don't have the power radiating off of them that she does. " On the night of Alpha George's murder, where we're you?" Asks Amber.

It's ok, I'll just tell the truth. " I was walking back from the kitchen after having grabbed some water. " I say.

" Where were your Bète and guards at the time of the murder?" She asks.

I feel a large pang of grief in my chest at the mention of my passed Bète. " They we're in the large dinning area. We have a little ritual we do after wards of the higher ups in the puck checking over each and every pack member for injuries and tending to them before ourselves. " I say.

It was one of the old rules that almost every pack still follows to this day. As the Alpha of a pack, my third and second in command as well as myself are to tend to the pack before ourselves. That is a reason as to why I aligned myself with Fenris in the first place. My pack needed my protection and I would do anything for them.

She nods. " Why did you decide to help us with this pack war?" She asks.

" Another rule we have, is that all packs we know, we consider them our own. If my pack was facing a pack war, I would hope you would help me the way I decided to help you. " I say. Fenris can listen in, but he is unable to read my thoughts right now.

If he were, then he'd be detected by them. I'm hoping someone catches my hint. I really do need help and I'm tired of hiding this from them. I don't want to be the bad guy.

I've been panicking all this time, because if I don't get help now, Fenris will ruin my pack and I all because I tried to ask for help. I'm terrified of him. I'm way in over my head.

Amber's left eye twitches. " After the gun went off, what did you do?" She asks.

At that moment Alpha Lucas walks up and offers me a glass of water. I gladly take it. I need some water anyway.

" After the gun went off and I heard the scream, I ran to see where the scream had come from. I saw the Luna there and knew something bad must have happened. I then followed the other Alpha's outside and saw the body. " I say.

" Did you see anything suspicious before the murder?" She asks.

This is the hardest part. Panic fills my chest more. Amber gives me a small look of concern. " Drink your water Alpha Ronan. You look like you need it. " she says.

I nod and practically guzzle down at the water. Once I'm done I set the glass next to my on the floor. I then look at her.

Before I can say a word, some pain fill me. It feels like a really bad stomach ache. One arm goes out to brace myself as I take a deep breath through the pain.

What is happening? " Alpha, are you alright?" She asks.

" Yes, y-yes Luna. I'm ok. " I manage to say as I return back to how I was sitting before.

" As I said before. Did you see anything suspicious before the murder?" She asks.

It's ok. I can work around it without telling the truth or lying. A sharp pain hits me then and I managed to breath through it.

The pain is slowly going up my body. " Not that I am aware of Luna. I was there to help as were everyone here. I....." I start, only to be interrupted by Phillip standing up.

My eyes widen. I then cry out as the sharp pain hit my head. I reach out to brace myself again. " He's lying. " says Phillip.

All eyes are on me know. I don't understand. I went around the answer. How could I have lied? Crap, what's wrong with my body?

" Don't worry. The pain won't last more then a few hours. " says Amber.

I look up at her in confusion. " I've felt that pain before too. Only on a much different level. " she said as she looks at her arm. There was a long scar I had never noticed before. Then it hits me, that's where Fenris inserted the Wolf Bane into her.

Does that me she..... ? " Yes, I had Alpha Lucas spike your drink with a small dose of Wolf Bane. Not enough to kill you or cause lasting damage. Just enough to make sure Fenris isn't listening in. " says Amber.

Pure panic fills me and I feel like my heart has stopped. My eyes are as wide as they can get. I look at Amber and see her glaring at me now. All that power aimed at me. It's way more intimidating then before.

Then I realize, I can't feel Fenris anymore. He is no longer in the back of my head. Tears well up in my eyes. This is the first time in a very long time that he hasn't been in my head. A few tears fall.

" We've known for a while. " says Kurt, answering my unasked questions.

" So this meeting... it was all an act?" I asked.

" No, not necessarily. As much as I trust the others. It was still nice to get actual proof as to where they and their people were at the time. It was a trap for you though. " says Amber.

I can't wrap my head around this. " Alpha Ronan, where is your Bète?" Asked Amber softly. 

A harsh sob leaves my lips and I lower my head down even more. Shame fills me at the thought of my Bète. I miss him dearly. " H-he's dead." I say. A few gasps were heard. " He killed him, all because he wanted to send a message for me to ever go against him. "

" I am sorry for your loss Alpha Ronan. " I hear footsteps and I lift my head up. Amber is in front of me now. She pulls up a chair and sits next to me.

She leans over and places a hand on my knee for comfort. This is more then I deserve. I deserve to be locked away and stopped of my Alpha power and title.

Why is she being so nice? " I figured you weren't doing all this willingly. That doesn't mean I am not angry with you for betraying me and everyone here. You were a direct cause to not only my mate going missing, but the death a well known and loved Alpha. That can't go unpunished. " says Amber.

I nod at her. " I know. I really am sorry Luna. I messed up bad. I've disgraced myself and my pack. " I say.

" Let me read your mind please? I wish to know your reasonings for why you did this." Says Amber. I stare at her confused. Why would she ask me?

I manage a nod nod she tightens her hold on my leg. Seconds later I can feel her in my mind. I can feel her sorting through my memories. What led to this, memories of me seeing Connor after he was kidnapped and during his torture. Everything.

Soon she leaves my mind and locks eyes with me. " Why didn't you come to one of us for help? " she asks.

" I-I didn't think you'd help me at the time. I was so caught up in the old ways that it felt weak to ask for help. Then he came along and I just accepted his offer. I was so stupid. " I cry. More shame and regret builds up in my chest.

Amber growls so loudly that I flinch and look at her. Anger is shinning in her eyes. Her lips pulled back in a snarl.

" Don't ever call yourself stupid. Understand me!!" She growls. I nod fast I'm reply

" You aren't stupid Ronan. Sure you made a mistake and yes, it was a big one. Yay doesn't make you stupid though. You did what you had to do and I assure you. If you hadn't of taken his deal, he would have wiped your pack from existence and that includes you, but only after he made you watch it all. He takes pleasure in that. " she says.

I flinch again. She's right. I look down. " I don't know what to do. He's going to read my mind when this wears off and he's going to kill my pack to punish me." I say.

" Well right now, I know that Fenris isn't there to lead his rogues. I also know that they are currently all at each of our packs ready to attack when given the go ahead by Connor. Trust your pack Alpha. They'll be fine. " says Amber.

So she does know the plan. She then stands. I look at her. " All the packs have been alerted by now and we are prepared for these attacks. That Wolf Bane in your system gives us three hours to get completely ready for the attack. We are prepared to protect you. So which side are you going to choose Alpha? Our side or the rogues?"

" Your side. I was wrong to side with the rogues then. I'll make the right choice now. I'm so so sorry Amber. Alpha Kurt, I didn't know he was going to kill your father. I am so deeply sorry I was involved in all of this. " I say.

Kurt nods at me, but doesn't say anything. Amber nods. She heads back to her seat. " Strap in Alpha. It's going to be a bumpy ride. " says Amber sitting down. She looks back at me. " Now tell me everything you know about Fenris. "

I nod in response and start to tell her everything. I make a vow today, if not for me then for my pack and those I've wronged. From this day forward, I will never go against my friends and family again and I will never side with rogues anymore. I will do it for my Bète. I will do it for those I've lost.

Also, I will do it for my old friend Alpha George. I am deeply sorry George. I hope you can forgive me and may you Rest In Peace. You deserve it more then ever. No more hiding and fearing. It's time I stand up for myself and be the Alpha I was meant to be before this is all over. I won't let them down again.

I then just try to relax and tell her all that I know.
