Sarah's POV

"You are not assessing the severity of the situation dear. You have no time. I think it's best that we tell him", Clarabel patted my shoulder and I knew what she was talking about.

Just thinking about it made me shiver. I can't do it. I just can't. I got up from the sofa and ran to the kitchen. After drinking a glass of water, I tried to catch my breath.

Clarabel walked behind me with concern. I looked at her with tears flushing down my eyes. I could easily see my pain was disturbing her too. She moved forward and embraced me.

I started crying like a little child. She tried one last time to convince me.

"Child, you do know Anna showing her werewolf reality is not the problem. It's the other thing I am worried about. Are you sure you don't wanna tell him?", she slowly pulled me away.

"I can't. I love him and if Carl finds out that I have kept this from him, I don't know how he will react. He might even leave me. Please don't tell him", I whispered slowly.

We both knew we had no choice. With Anna's spell shedding away it wasn't far off when her real form will show.

And that's what we were worried about.

Anna's POV

I was running through the rooms and corridors. But the design of this building was so complicated that no matter how much I ran, i ended up back in the same familiar routes over and over again.

After about 20 minutes of trying, I gave up. I was fuming. I couldn't believe what just happened. How can someone be cruel. I sat down in the long corridor with my back against the rocky wall. I put my head down and covered my head with my hands.

I wasn't crying. I was just lost. Guilt was not making me think straight. All my life I trained and for what. I couldn't even save a innocent girl.

Another thing I was confused about was the changes happening in me. I can move faster than usual. Few moments ago I hurt the beast. I could never imagine this much strength.

Just when I was thinking about the recent events, another shocking thing happened. I heard foot steps coming towards me. Without looking I could tell who it was.

"Why are you here now. Maybe you should go and get your master another innocent being to tear apart", I practically yelled keeping my head down.

He sat down next to me. When I looked up, I saw a whole different Alex.

His face was wet probably due to crying. His head was resting back on the wall. I could see his pain. I felt a little bad of shouting at him.

" I am helpless. I can't go against Harry. That is one of perks of being the son of the beta.", he said whilst he chuckled softly.

Wait! did he just say Harry. So this is what Justin was talking about.

Anna when you see a monster, you just run.

Now I understood why Justin called him a monster. He was one. A heartless being. I felt bad for Alex.

"Why do you follow him. Just leave", I gave a suggestion.

He smiled softly. " and become a rogue. Besides his dad and my dad are both stepping down from their status next week. So he will be my Alpha and I have to take my father's place. So I am hopeless."

He stayed quiet for a while and continued," I hate to do this. I mean if there is a criminal I won't even think twice before ripping his throat out but I hate doing these things to the innocent".

His face went pale by the minute. His pain just took a different turn.

"You know Anna, I did some horrible things. And I have been punished for them".

He pauses and another tear slip from his right eye. He pulls out a picture from his coat pocket. It is a picture of a girl. A very pretty girl I must say.

She has ginger hair, blue eyes and freckles on her pale skin.

"She was my mate. She died last year, however that's not the worst part. She died because of me. While i was setting up a trap for someone as ordered by Harry, she became the victim of the same trap", he gulped.

"I don't know why I am telling you this. I guess you remind me of her. You have the same morals and courage. I admire you and I promise I will help you get out of this hell", he paused for a moment. It felt like he was concentrating on something.

He stands up and looks at me.

"Harry is calling. I will see you later", he left and I sat there like and idiot. He poured his heart out to to me and I didn't even say anything.

What a dumbass.

Harry's POV

I was sitting in my chair thinking about the events.
I stood and walked over to the full sized mirror. I had a black eye, a bloody nose and of coarse a deep cut on my right arm. I wasn't worried about the wounds as they will heal soon enough. Some of them were almost healed. I was worried about myself.

Not how she attacked me. Not how she disrespected me. I was just worried about the changes occurring in me.

I was just lost. Yes I was angry at first and I was about to pounce on her but when she threw the knife towards me, I was shocked. 

Either she was dumb enough to hand me her death or she just didn't give a shit. And that troubled me.

This girl had some next level courage and stamina. I felt this weird attraction towards her. She was something.

I smiled to myself while I whispered at the same time, 

"Harry looks like you have found your perfect match".

I just needed to bring her down. Make her beg and that will be my victory.

I was planning my next step and for that I needed Alex.
