Author's pov Alpha John sat in a corner of the cell, his back against the wall and wrists bound with silver chains. He felt beyond humiliated. He was an alpha, a figure of authority to many people, yet he was taken out of his Pack like a criminal. Alpha Marcel had taken care to make it a public arrest—his way of disgracing Alpha John and his cause had been achieved. Throughout the journey to the Black Moon Pack, all Alpha John could think about was Pierce. What would she assume was the matter when she returned from her trip and saw the empty house? He had told his beta to tell her the truth. Covering it up with more lies would only worsen matters, and she would find out in the end. After all, his actions were now public. What a way to rescue his daughters—now he was trapped with them.
