Trudeau’s POVDr. Russell is on the line…” I groaned and reluctantly took the phone off the tray. “Don’t ever put my phone in a tray like that again. It looks ridiculous.” I looked up at him. He nodded aggressively in compliance. “Go.” I watched him go away, skipping steps and moving faster than he should be. I took a sniff of the air, infiltrating the fume of petals and soil was the pungent fear that sipped from the pores of the skin. You see, fear was a scent I was too used to. It was the sweetest scent when you commanded it, and it could be a nasty sight when you are not directly or purposefully inciting it. I exhaled before putting the phone to my ear. “…Hello? Hunny, I don’t think the alpha is present with his phone. It seems to be radio silent. Maybe we should call him back lat—““Mr. Russell, I’m with you. Speak.” I said monotonously. “Oh oh, pardon my assumption. I’m here. Sorry, I was at a function where I was needed so I couldn’t make it to your call but I’m here now
Cassandra’s POV“Speaking of the devil. How did you even find me?!” he asked, getting up from his initial resting position. “I didn’t know you were already thinking about me.” I stared down at him. His face was lifted in a way you would think he was annoyed. And I guess there was only one way to find out. I dropped to his level and sat on the grass, my hand moving over the blades as I wondered how he found this comfortable. The pointy parts of the blades prickled my skin most uncomfortably but I told myself it was worth every prickle as long I got to get through to him. Which was something that had a very slim percent chance of working. “You can’t tell me you want to be here. You hate the outdoors, Cassie. What do you want?” His tone is flat like his expression wasn’t clear enough. Did he think I couldn’t see the reluctance in his eyes? “Just wondering why you are touching grass when the day has barely started.” I tried to move my head in his direction, bending properly so I cou
Trudeau’s POVI walked into my main quarters, coming to a stop right in the middle of the yard.Where are I going?!I facepalmed realizing the cafeteria where I ate was on the other side. Where I was headed was the area where my private quarters were located. It was the end of the yard straight ahead and The breeder also happened to be there. I ran my hand through my hair, thinking through my actions and how they could fuck me up. The look on her face flashed in behind my eyes again as I blinked.It pushed me to curse out loud, and the guards in front of the main entrance jolted in sync.“Hold your shit together Trudeau…” My wolf, Max warned me. He was quite the opposite of me. Super calm, collected, and calculated. I, on the other hand, was the epitome of drama if you considered yelling, acting out, and striking others as part of drama. It was real drama. My emotions came with an overwhelming urge to damage the thing closest to me or the source of my problem.So now you understand wh
“It's about your breeder situation.” the chief priest said with a heavy amount of displeasure in his voice. I didn't have the words for him. It was tough to listen to the scratch in his grumpy voice from all ages and all the tobacco he had been taking. Slowly, I moved my eyes around from person to person to see who knew this question before it was asked. Everyone seemed to be looking away from my direction as if a single eye contact from me would obliterate them into nothing. “Breeder situation huh...” I looked around again just to confirm that it wasn't just in my head. They were trying their best not to look in my direction. I got to my feet. That got their attention. Not only did it demand their eyes but it fastened their heartbeats. I could hear every single collision of heartbeats in my ear, jamming in disharmony. “I will go ahead to ask this one question. How many of you present here have sat down and spoken about this issue behind my back?” The air in the room thickened wi
Trudeau’s POV She sucked in her lower lip. “Your breeder is just about right then. I’m sorry for all of this.”“That’s what I thought, Beta. That’s what I thought.” I said before walking out. I spared no one-second glance before leaving the room but with no exact idea of where I was taking myself. I stormed down the stairs. One thing about being an alpha was that you lived a private life even when all you needed was someone to talk to. Rodney Carter was the closest to a best friend that I have had for the longest time, he lived in the neighboring pack which was an hour's drive if I put my mind to it. My hands unconsciously searched my body for my phone to put my chauffeur on a call, only to realize that it wasn’t with me. Fuck… I recalled leaving the garden with Cassie and leaving it there lying in the grass. I would have sent a guard to go get it for me but last minute decided against it. The walk to the garden was not too long, but long enough to make me feel tired of even attem
Audrey’s POV“Just don’t. You are not supposed to be able to feel it. Except you want to go through being called A witch breeder and getting burned at the stake. There are important people in this pack who don’t want your presence here. That’s all I’m going to be saying.” She said with a warning tone. It made some sense so I nodded in agreement. Silence reigned again between us. This time it wasn’t as awkward as the last. I was at peace while my eyes traveled through the garden area. It was so peaceful and quiet, and it smelt nice. Or maybe that was Sabrina, I couldn’t tell it apart. It made me feel much at peace. “It might be a gift though.” She randomly said. “What??” I turned to her, adjusting my bum on the stone stool because it was starting to hurt the way I sat. “Your ability to tell when there is a spell at work. That is not something a werewolf can naturally do. Especially one without a wolf inside of her.” She winked at me. I could see now that she was trying to make me f
Trudeau’s POVThe doors to his private man chamber were opened for me by his bodyguards but he wasn’t in. I turned to face the tallest among both men because I naturally assumed him to be the head between both men standing by the entrance. “I thought you said he was in?” “He is.” He replied monotonously. I stared at him for some second, deliberating on what to do next because they certainly had the same expression that was too serious to play a joke on me. I walked back into the office and once they closed the door, Rodney jumped from behind and gave me a scare. “Boo!” He exclaimed so dramatically, gripping my shoulder. Even though I tried to act unfazed by his silliness, I was still startled and chuckling. It was just like Rodney to do the most unserious thing even after I Indicated in my message that I wasn’t doing okay. “Yeah yeah, you got me, man. How do you even have this much strength when almost half of the day is already—“Looking at his table answered the question I was go
Trudeau’s POV Rodney stared at me for some seconds then clicked his tongue. “Tch. Sure, let’s talk about something less important.”I was no fool. I heard the change of tone and it managed to reflect in the air with how he continued to play his video games. It was impossible to pretend I didn’t feel it because it was just two of us in the room. Everything else depended on how we both saw the world and wanted to live in it.“Rodney…I—”“Hey, it’s cool. You do your thing, I don’t care. I just don’t want to be that guy that pats you on the back for doing horrible things.” He turned briefly to me and I nodded in acceptance.“It’s cool,” I muttered.Could I say this was the reason I came here in the first place?I don’t know. All I knew was he always had the answers and that would free me from the shackles of thoughts I had been having. We ended up squashing the little tension by seeing who could down more shorts of tequila until my tongue began to feel numb. He wasn’t sure I would make i
