34 LOVER

Standing in front of the big screen, Arles stared at the footage of Sibyl’s apartment playing out before his eyes. The pack’s security had fallen onto his shoulders, including the CCTV footage and other evidence. So when Glen had ordered one of the pack members to go through the recordings from that night, Aries could easily see what he had missed during his rut. That wasn’t even taking into consideration that what he saw was incredibly triggering.
With red eyes, he stormed out of the room, and strode to the packhouse where the pack members were being sent by Glen with strict orders: no one was to enter the clearing until further notice. It was clearly to prevent them from witnessing something. However, what he saw next shocked him–Sibyl standing between Keshton and a beaten, unconscious Edwin like an unbreakable wall.
His feet came to a halt at the sight of her neck, where she bore Edwin’s mark. What he saw in the video had not been wrong. She already belonged to someone else….
“What do you think you are doing? Stop this insanity right now!” Sibyl glared at Keshton.
“Move,” Keshton growled, his eyes darkening when she defended Edwin.
Sibyl stubbornly shook her head. “What the hell are you doing? Why have you brought him here, and why do you want to kill him?” she demanded.
“He touched something that belongs to me,” Keshton’s voice was deep and grave as he took a step closer to Sibyl, his eyes filled with bloodthirst.
Sibyl’s heart shook slightly with an ominous feeling. “What are you talking about?” Why did it feel like he
knew about Edwin and what he had done to her?
Keshton pulled broken sunglasses out of his pocket and dropped them on the ground. Sibyl immediately recognized them. They were the ones that she had lost in her old apartment during her struggle against the three men. How had he gotten his hands on them?
“Have I forgotten to mention how much I hate my possessions being damaged?” Keshton murmured, stepping on the already broken sunglasses as he drew closer to Sibyl with an aggressive aura that alarmed her wolf. “This fucker did exactly that. He touched and harmed what belongs to me, a peaceful death will not
suffice.”
Sibyl’s lips quivered in panic as Alpha Lester’s yelling echoed in her ears.
“Don’t act dumb!! How dare you use your lover to take down my son in such a cruel way?!”
At the time she had not known who he was referring to as her lover. It turned out….
However, she still had no idea how Keshton had discovered what happened in that apartment and that Edwin was the one responsible for it. What set panic in her heart was realizing that she had underestimated the man’s obsession with her. He walked all the way over to grab Edwin by the throat because of her, completely ignoring the fact that Edwin was her soulmate. According to Alpha Lester’s accusation, the three other men had been killed on the spot before Edwin was beaten, humiliated, and mercilessly dragged all the way to the Eclipse Moon Pack. The Lunar Moon Pack had lost face in the whole werewolf community, being a hot topic in the circle when the rogue became Alpha involved.

At the same time, it also meant that her mate bond, her personal history, nevermind whatever d
information had been revealed to Keshton. Suddenly, she felt as if she had been stripped bare in front of ty man that she had always been extremely conscious of
Everything in the clearing fell silent, Sibyl saw Aries there too. The look in his eyes when her mark was exposed to him, made her feel all guilty. She was not the person that she had presented to others. She was someone else entirely.
She blinked then looked up to Keshton, “Let him go,” her voice was soft but it was clear who she was asking to free.
It was not only Keshton but Aries’s expression that distorted when her word’s registered, “I must have misheard something?” Keshton’s voice grew heavier as his expression darkened
Aries could not just ideally stand by, “Sibyl, don’t tell me that you are trying to protect this mutt that tried to
“That’s my personal matter, Aries,” Sibyl locked eyes with him, “I can handle it on my own so please..
“Move,” Keshton cut Sibyl off, his face all serious and his wolf was in his eyes, “I will not repeat myself a second time,” he warned, ready to pass by her just for the pleasure of dragging Edwin to his demise.
“NO… NO… NOO0…. WAIT!!” Sibyl put her hand over Keshton’s chest, barely stopping him from approaching Edwin. Keshton growled in anger but her shaking yet burning touch on his chest took away a lot, forcing him to pause momentarily and look at her.
“You can’t protect him,” Keshton grabbed her arms and lowly growled.
“There is no way I am protecting anyone here but myself,” Sibyl stated looking deep into his confused amber eyes. “If he dies here then…”
Sibyl paused as Alpha Lester’s words echoed in her mind.
‘Your lover…‘ Her heart began beating wildly in her chest. Why would the Alpha label Keshton as her lover? He was a mean, emotionless, creditor that treated her like one of his possessions. Even at this point, he was after Edwin because he must dislike f*****g a she–wolf that had been f****d by another man. He could be anything but her lover. Why would Alpha Lester think of Keshton in that way?
Keshton looked at her, lost in thought then slowly let go of her arms, “What if he died here?” he raised an
eyebrow.
Sibyl pursed her lips secretly not knowing what to say because if Edwin died by Keshton’s hand then… Alpha Lester’s accusation of Keshton being her lover was going to be true. That was going to start a new series of messes in her already chaotic life.
Just as she opened her mouth to say something, suddenly an arm grabbed her and turned her around pulling her into a tight hug.
Sibyl gasped at the suddenness of the actions and the hug. It happened so quickly that everyone was stunned at this sudden change of scene.
“Sibyl, I knew you loved me!” Edwin was in his human form weak and bleeding yet confident in his mate bond with Sibyl. She loved him over all others, there was no way she would let anyone kill him.
Sibyl was practically paralyzed in Edwin’s arms. His scent, his touch, his wolf approached Za, everything about him made her sick until his c**k brushed against her belly triggering the terrible memory of being

thrown onto the bed by Edwin so that she could be fed by three other men
“Don’t touch me… she murmured under her breath, between greatly uneven pants as her whole body coated in a fine layer of sweat.
“Sibyl, let’s go home. Okay? We will sort out our problems together. I promise to divorce Daisy as anon get back, okay? I will do anything that you want and we will leave happily like before. Please, let’s go.
His every word slowly began to fade from her ears as she just started to lose focus due to the intense pain that his touch had caused her subsiding heat to rush back into her blood like a lava alarming Glen, Aries, and Keshton that had all been standing there bearing witness.
The heat suddenly attacked Sibyl’s entire being to the point that she could not bear it. “DON’T TOUCH MEIL She screamed at the top of her lungs, wriggling free from Edwin’s hold. In a swift motion, Keshton charged and yanked her away from Edwin, hoisting her onto his shoulder. At the same time, Aries grabbed Edwin by his hair and slammed him into the ground so violently that his side face nearly broke.
