CHAPTER 6 Sudden Death

  Margaret's POV

  I closed my eyes and quietly hid behind the curtains, forcing myself to calm down. My brain was spinning rapidly, and countless reasons flashed through my mind, but I dismissed them all as absurd.

  "Moon goddess, please..." It was the first time since my parents' death that I prayed to her so earnestly.

  Just as he was about to step onto the balcony, the room door suddenly opened from the outside.

  "Alpha, emergency!" I heard a clear and urgent male voice, and my eyes caught sight of a dazzling blond hair. The man who had burst in looked a little younger than Jacob, but also slightly shorter and weaker. If he wasn't his Beta, I couldn't think of anyone else who would dare to be so presumptuous in front of Jacob.

  "What emergency?" Jacob's tone became serious, as he paused and stoppe dhis advance towards me and a wave of relief washed over me.
