Chapter: SmarterLance's POVI had to call Dominus' phone before I could get him down to the Alpha's office. I lied to him that the office was on fire and waited for him outside the office. He was breathless by the time he got there.'What the hell, Lance? Why did you lie to me like that?' 'I have tried reaching you through the mind link to no avail, so I called,' I said, shrugging.'That still doesn't excuse your lie,' Dom said breathing hard. He must have been really scared. 'Metaphorically speaking, it is on fire. The Vice President of the council is on his way to collect Alan's corpse,' I explained to him.'What? Alan is not dead. How do you produce the corpse of a living man?' Dominus asked frowning.'Elder Nat is in there with our parents. He said he had an idea of how we could go about it. That was why your dad said I should go get you,' I explained.Dominus walked past me, opened the study door, and went straight in. I rolled my eyes and followed him in. 'You had your walls up. We have been

Chapter: Coming For CorpseLance's POV'I refuse to talk to him alone,' Mara said stubbornly. 'I don't even know if I can trust him not to manipulate me.' 'Mara. It is a good thing that you know that a mate's hold on you is powerful so you will be prepared if the need be for you to resist his manipulation,' Dad said to Mara.'Besides that, why will he want to talk to me when all he will eventually do is reject me when he discovers my past,' Mara said.She was nervous; it was all over her face. She thought Alan would reject her immediately after he heard what she had been through at Amman's house. Alan was at that moment not in the place to reject anyone. After he had broken down and cried because of the way he was betrayed, he calmed down and begged the Alpha to allow him to see his mate. Alan had said he wanted to see her because he didn't know what his fate would be. He had seen her in the dark and he wished to see her in broad daylight. It was almost evening though but there was still enough daytime to s

Chapter: Betrayed Lance's POV'I need you to tell this young man the things you went through at Amman's house,' the Alpha said to one of the girls that were with Mara and the others at Amman's house.'We will understand if you can't. Nobody is forcing you,' Dad said to her.'No, it is okay. Mara called Adelia that there was someone who needed to be enlightened about the things we went through in Amman's house and I volunteered. Besides the therapist said the more we talked about our experience, the better the trauma would become,' she said smiling at Dad.I couldn't deny the fact that most of the girls we brought back from Amman's house were strong-willed. I couldn't comprehend how they still found it easy to smile so sweetly after everything they had been through. The girl narrated everything to Alan. He was looking at the girl all through her talk as if he was in total disbelief.'Thank you so much, my dear girl, you can return to the main house, a car will take you back to the pack house,' the Alph

Chapter: Someone to BlameDominus' POVI stretched my hand and reached for Lucia as I came out of my restless sleep but she wasn't there. I was startled at first and sat straight.Then I remembered. It had been a lonely night. I had slept alone because Lucia had spent the night with her mother. I couldn't argue with her. They needed each other. I felt someone pushing into my mind link and I opened up. It was Dad. 'Good morning, dad,' I greeted him.'We will be heading down to give Alan some eye-opening facts. If you wish to join us, you should be ready in about an hour,' Dad said into the mind link.'Ok, dad. I will be downstairs soon,' I said and closed the mind link. I stood from the bed and went into the bathroom with heavy footsteps. I wasn't happy. The sadness I was feeling wasn't mine alone. Lucia was letting her guard on the mind link down on and off and her emotions kept seeping in. How could I possibly be okay when my mate was grieving? I was grieving too. That was like joining two heavy hearts to

Chapter: Mounting Confusion Lance's POV'No wonder he was calling us traitors,' dad said frowning.'Where did you find this, Rocha?' The Alpha asked.'I decided to give the soldiers clearing the field a hand. I was restless. I found it in the bag attached to his dead horse,' Rocha explained.'Before this kind of order can be issued, the pack involved would have been sent a warning three times to surrender. If they do not surrender by the time they get the last warning, this kind of order is issued against them and that process takes weeks,' the Alpha explained.'We didn't receive any warnings from them. Besides, we haven't done anything wrong why will they issue that type of order against us?' I asked. I was as confused as everyone else. 'I will like to ask Alan some questions for now,' the Alpha said and thanked Rocha.Rocha said he would not want to go in there with us, so he excused himself and went back to the house while we returned to the room that Alan was.'Now the traitors return,' Alan said bitterly a

Chapter: The OrderDominus' POV'Dad, there is a problem,' I said to Dad through the mind link.'What is the problem, Dom?' Dad asked. I could hear the panic in his voice. 'Alan is Mara's mate,' I said sighing sadly.'What?' Dad's voice thundered into the mind link.'That is what she told us,' I said.'We will be there as fast as we can,' Dad said and closed the mind link. I looked at Mara with pity. She was shivering in Mum's hands as if she was cold. But I knew the cold wasn't physical. She wasn't even crying. 'Mara, Dad said he will be back to talk to you soon,' I said for lack of what to say.'What did he do? The guy in the cell?' Mara asked.'He led the fight that took Lucia's father from us,' I answered. 'So he is going to die?' Mara asked but none of us answered.I wanted to tell her that he was going to die after he was questioned. He might not die immediately but that was actually going to be his end.'What is going on here?' Lucia asked as she came into the sitting room. I had left her in

Chapter: The Stairs Accident Two Weeks Later Crystal’s POV The knock on my door startled me and I jumped. The door opened and my dad peeked in. He became worried and quickly entered the room when he saw that I was holding my chest. ‘Hey, are you okay?’ He asked coming to my side to place a hand on my shoulder. I got out of my chair and embraced him then burst into tears. ‘What is it, baby? Talk to Daddy,’ Dad said as he rubbed my back in circles. ‘I am so scared, Daddy. I am so scared that someone is just going to pull the trigger, and I will be bleeding on the floor in a second,’ I sobbed. Dad sighed sadly then stepped back from the embrace. He took me to the sofa and made me sit down. He gave me his handkerchief and allowed me to cry some more. ‘I am sorry that you feel this way, princess. I wish that there is something I can do to make you feel safe. You can come home with me if it will make you feel better,’ Dad offered. ‘No, I can't. The only time I feel safe is when I am with Midas. For

Chapter: Someone ElseMidas' POV ‘Hey, you aren't sleeping?’ Pearl's voice brought me out of my reverie. ‘Babe. I just woke up,' I said then kissed her lightly on the lips. I had made sure she didn't leave the room since we returned. I had made sure that she had her dinner in bed and gone to sleep after that but I couldn't sleep. I dosed a little then woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. ‘What woke you up? It is just two o'clock am?’ Pearl asked then sat up. ‘I didn't tell you something in the afternoon.' ‘What didn't you tell me?’ ‘Agent Kendrick called.’ ‘And?’ ‘He said they ran the blood through the database, and it is Aunt Cleo’s blood,' I said. ‘What? What kind of a crazy move is that?’ Pearl asked voicing the exact question that was on my mind. ‘That is exactly what I thought. Was she so confident that you wouldn't call the police or is she being set up?’ I voiced my doubt out loud. ‘If she is being set up, how did the person get her blood?’ ‘That was what I tho

Chapter: The Report Midas’ POV I was driving back to my office with mild annoyance and worry. I had gone to Pearl's office to show my grievance with the fact that she knew about Karen and my grandfather’s relationship but decided to say nothing. But when Karen said she was ready to put her signature on whatever I wanted to be the terms and conditions for her relationship with my grandfather, I knew she was probably in love with him. I just couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that she was in love with my grandfather, a man twice her age. There were gold diggers everywhere and one can never be too careful. My behavior was getting on Pearl's nerves but I was just trying to protect my grandfather. He didn't deserve to be swindled by a young girl at his age, but with everything Karen had said, I couldn't allow him to choose to please me over his own happiness. All I had to do was keep an eye on Karen. My phone rang bringing me out of my thoughts. I frowned when I saw that it was Pearl's office

Chapter: The Package Pearl's (Crystal) POV ‘Is Mr Conner around?’ I asked his secretary as I walked into his office. ‘Yes, ma'am. He just got back from a meeting,' his secretary replied, and I thanked her before going into the office. Eric's father stood from his chair the moment he saw me walk in. I immediately told him to sit down. There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked slimmer. ‘Have you been sleeping?’ I asked after we had both sat down. Eric's mother had been in FBI custody for a week and I knew that the poor man would be going through a rough patch. ‘How can I When my wife is in the FBI custody? All evidence is against her. And you know the most frustrating thing is that she has been my wife for this long and I barely know her.’ ‘I am sorry that you feel heartbroken right now,’ I said pitifully. He was a good man, but his choice of a wife is putting him in the wrong spot. ‘Heartbroken, you say? I feel so torn apart, so unhappy, so miserable, I don't even know which o

Chapter: Beyond WordsMidas’ POV ‘You seem bothered, Midas. What is on your mind?’ Pearl asked as we drove to the Agent's station where Antonio was being held. It was evening already. Left to me, I would have postponed going there till the next morning, but Pearl insisted that we go that day unfailingly. Kendrick had called that they had taken Antonio in but it was not without ado. The moment he set his eyes on them coming towards him, he ran and they had to give him a chase. It took them over thirty minutes before he was captured. ‘Midas, what is it?’ Pearl asked again when I didn't answer her the first time ‘I have just been thinking about what Mabel said. Why would Antonio be as stupid as asking someone like that boy to do his dirty job for him?’ I said. ‘You heard agent Kendrick the other day? Antonio might be getting desperate for the job to be done,’ Pearl said. ‘It still bothers my mind. I hope Mabel is not right about us being distracted,’ I said. ‘Agent Kendrick said he ran. If he

Chapter: Foiled Attempt Pearl’s (Crystal) POV I turned around in bed and stretched like a cat. It had been a very busy night the previous night. Midas had made sure that I was tired by the time he was through with me. He was so insatiable! ‘Wakey wakey,' Midas said as he walked into the room with a tray laden with food in his hands. He was ruggedly handsome as usual. Nothing on his face or body depicted how much he had been busy the night before which made me glare at him. ‘How is it possible that you look so cool after a night like that?’ I asked raising a brow at him. ‘That is because I am a king when it comes to the game,’ Midas said winking at me playfully. Midas gently placed the tray on the bedside table before turning to smile at me sheepishly. ‘Why are you staring at me like that?’ He asked ‘You are so beautiful,’ Midas said and I blushed. ‘Don't flatter me, Midas. My hair probably looks like a bird nest right now, and I probably look like…’ ‘You have been making love all night. L

Chapter: Extra Chapter IIRoy's POVSix Years Later 'Kaden, Kyle if you both don't come out this minute, I will skin you both alive when I eventually get my hands on you' I heard Raven shout for our five years old twins to come out of their hiding place. I was in the study and had deliberately left the door open because the kids kept coming into the study to disturb me. Instead of getting distracted by them each time they opened the door, I left it open so they could come and go as they liked.I rolled my eyes. Whatever they had done had surely gotten on her nerves seriously. Our twins were hand full. They got Roman's disposition and every moment was like a means to have fun.I stood up from the chair, pushed what I was doing aside, and walked into the corridor. 'Darling, the entire palace can hear you shout. What is the problem this time?' I asked as I walked towards her.'Daddy,' Tessa our three-year-old daughter called and ran to embrace me.'That is my favorite girl,' I said as I picked her up. She had

Chapter: Extra Chapter Raven's POVTwo Months After Coronation 'Wake up darling,' Roy said as he shook me by the shoulder.I grumbled for him to let me be. I couldn't sleep all night due to their constant sexual demands. What he could do in the least was allow me sleep for as long as I wanted. 'Go away Roy. I am tired. I need to sleep,' I said and I heard Roman chuckle from somewhere in the room. 'You are just being lazy. You asked for it and we gave you what you wanted,' Roman said.'I didn't ask for anything,' I grumbled as I buried myself deeper into the pillows.I felt a side of the bed deep and I knew one of them had gotten into bed with me. I didn't open my eyes still. I wanted to sleep. 'What do you call the way you were looking at us and sending pictures of your nude self into the link?' Roman asked getting closer to me.'It is called seduction. Next time if you are not ready for something, don't start it,' Roy said slapping me hard in the ass. I grudgingly sat in bed, glaring at the both of th

Chapter: Epilogue Roman's POV'Hey, are you okay?' I asked Raven as I saw her standing alone in the garden looking lost in thought. 'I am fine,' she answered raising her head to look at me smiling. I noticed that the smile didn't reach her eyes. She seemed happy some moments ago. It was two weeks after the coronation and we had settled into our roles as the kings and queen. It wasn't a bed of roses though but we got by. It was way different from being an Alpha. While we were Alphas, we only had to take care of our pack but we now have the burden of the welfare of a whole nation resting on our shoulders. It was a lot to bear as I have started to realize but as far as we are together, we will be alright. I pulled her to me and wrapped my hands around her, teasingly dropping a kiss on one of our marks. I felt her shiver with excitement in my hands. Her response to us excited me to no end. She was indeed ours. 'Do you think I will believe the fact that nothing is wrong? You left Roy and I inside and

Chapter: The Coronation Raven's POVI patiently sat as the make up artist and hair stylist did their thing. To say I was happy was an understatement.

But the universe obviously had another plan for me.Yes it was the coronation day, I was going to become the queen of the wolf's kingdom.

'Thank you. Wait until you see April. I just wish I had her type of skin,' Selene said dreamily.'Your skin is beautiful too Selene,' I said smiling at her.'Don't tell me that.That natural tan is everything, believe me,' Selene replied sitting down on the bed opposite me.'Your skin is beautiful and so also is April's,' I said.

Chapter: The Preparation Raven's POVI swallowed hard as I gazed at my mates standing side by side shirtless, everything I had wanted to say, flew from my mind. All they had on was their boxer briefs and that was even short. 'I thought you would be used to seeing us naked by now,' Roman said grinning like he knew exactly what effect that image had on my mind.I blinked several times and then closed my eyes to ward off the effect of that scene on my brain. 'You don't have to fight it my love, let the feeling come through, you want us,' Roy said into my ears and I shivered. I didn't know when he got that close. I heard the door close behind me. I had not closed it when I came in because of the assault of the scene before me on my senses. 'I don't mind that you are closing your eyes but I just love seeing those beautiful eyes when we pleasure you,' Roman said from behind me into my other ear. The heat from the both of them was so soothing that I just stood there with my eyes closed and let them undress me.

Chapter: Just the Way they AreRaven's POV'Are you guys sure Adrian doesn't have personality disorder?' I asked because I was surprised that such a person who laughed so easily and warmed hearts while at it was capable of just switching into another character like that. 'Does Roman too have personality disorder?' Roy asked instead of answering my question.'What do you mean?' I asked.'No one should drag me into this, Adrian is Adrian while I am me,' Roman said defensively.'What are you talking about Roy?' I asked refusing to let go of the matter. 'Why not remove the love from your eyes and look at your mate closely. He is as good natured as our dear best friend but when crossed, they forget their good nature, they forget the happy go lucky guy they are and deal with the situation appropriately,' Roy said. 'Are you saying that the way Adrian handled that matter was appropriate,' I asked Roy looking at him open mouthed.'I had not expected him to go that way but it was what he thought appropriate.
