Chapter Twenty Two
KAIDA’S POV
The days went by in a blur, and I found myself preferring staying indoors.
The knock on the door was expected; it should be Aric. I hadn’t seen or spoken to him in days. I walked to the door and pulled it open.
I couldn’t hide the disappointment written on my face when I saw a Nightshade soldier standing by the door.
“Can I help you?” I asked when he didn’t speak up.
He had tried to cover up his little flaw, but I caught him staring. I wasn’t fully clothed, and of course he was unsettled by the scars–at least the portion he could see.
“Luna.” He bows. The Alpha requests your presence in the meeting room.”
“Wait.” I told him before I returned to my room, got dressed in my usual black pants and long–sleeved shirt, I followed him.
“Is he alone?” I asked.
“No… he has company.” The soldier replied.
The moment I entered the meeting room, I caught a strangely familiar scent. No, this was not from Alexander.
I looked around the room; some of the advisors were seated and also Alpha Grayson of the Gray Moon Pack–I knew him because I had seen his pictures, but other than that, I had never met him, and then… My eyes stopped on the man; he had a scar stretching down his eyes, a very familiar mark–how couldn’t it not be familiar? I was the one who took his eyes.
I stared at him, at the face I could recognize even in my dreams; he was the very man I had tried finding for years and also the same man I had thought was dead. He stared at me as if trying to remember where he knew me from before shrugging and looking away deciding I wasn’t worth the stress.
My gaze met Alexander’s, and all I could feel was anger.
(
He knew that the rogue lived; he had sounded so sure back then. He had brought him here because he knew how tormented this would make me. I had been a fool to open up to him, and now, he found another way to make the games‘ even more entertaining for him. It was all a joke to him, my past, my pack, my life… everything was a joke to him, and I had given him the opening he needed; I had told him my weakness, and he was going to use it against me everyway he could.
I had never felt a hatred so strong before; Alexander, on the other hand, only had a smirk on his face.
“Are you familiar with my Luna?” He asked the rogue.
“I might have seen her face somewhere; I can’t be sure.”
“I think she knows you a lot.”
I stood there, silent. Thinking.
The man still lived; the man who had killed my best friend was still alive and in this pack–maybe he hadn’t died as I thought, but with him this close, I had a chance.
I glanced around. These advisors were not old men; they were powerful werewolves, and if I did make a move, they would be an issue.

“If you weren’t a rogue and very disinterested in the pack affairs, I would have employed you to be my mate’s personal bodyguard.” Alexander said.
“I mean… that does sound like a good idea; I could watch over her really well.” The rogue stared at me with his one eye, and I knew he remembered; how could he forget? was the little girl who took his eye and burnt his crew members to death.
“It would be a bad idea; I’d prefer that my personal bodyguard assigned to ‘watch‘ over me has both eyes intact,” I said. Some of the advisors chuckled, quickly masking their musement with coughs and throat clearing.
The rogue snarled at me, furious. Alexander rose to his feet Walking towards me, he grabbed me by the arm. ” Forgive my Luna; she could tend to be very rude sometimes”
Alexander’s gaze met mine; I held his stare, challenging him.
He led me out of the meeting room, I opened my mouth to speak.
“Hush. Not yet.”
