Calyx POV

Sniveling, I struggled out of the covers, my breath rampart, my face covered in deep sweat. Tying my robe around my waist, I rushed to get the door and, for the first time, I sneaked out of the room not wanting to wake Ayla, who was deeply asleep and didn't hear the thud from the door.

“What's going on? You sounded urgent.” I said, taking hasty steps towards Damon, who was standing quietly beside my door.

He didn't reply and just stared at me, worry etched on his face. I was awoken by Damon's hushed voice, he had mind linked me and yelled my name severally asking me to get out of bed.

“Damon,” my brows twitched as I looked back at him, what could he be hiding in that strong face of his? “What is this about?”

He suddenly moved and faced me properly, “it's about your father, Dwayne fell into coma last night.” His words felt like a sledgehammer to my heart.

Sweat broke down my forehead, I looked at him, shock enveloping my senses. “Father was fine when I spoke with him, how-w d

    Calyx's POVWatching Ayla's face fall as she saw us was more satisfying than I could have imagined. The fear in her eyes fueled a sense of triumph within me; it felt right to see her suffer, and Carla was unwittingly making it all too easy. Ayla's eyes were filled with shock and pain as she stumbled away, and I relished the moment.I knew it would break her, and I was prepared to mold back the pieces and shatter it all-over again this time harder.A hand snuck around my arm and I brought my eyes down to the small figure of Carla, she slipped her hand around my waist and I couldn't help but smile as I ran my fingers through her silky black hair."I'm happy we're doing this," she giggled, her artificial lashes fluttering. Lost in her beauty, I found myself drawn to her dimpled cheeks, unable to look away. With Carla, everything felt effortless, and now, just gazing at her, I was overwhelmed with desire."I'm never letting you out of my sight again, Carla," I whispered into her ear, brin

I tried to speak but my throat was dry and all I could utter was a gulp.“He's gone.” He said softly, his eyes peeked at me and in the corner of it was a glint of concern.I took my palm to my face and wiped off the tears rolling down my cheeks, straightening myself. I tried to maintain a strong pose, but who was I deceiving? Damon had seen me run out of Calyx's room and even protected me from getting caught.Still, I hoped he didn't know what I was facing, he might know because Calyx was mad about me due to what he told him but I really wished he didn't or perhaps stopped concerning himself with our issues.“Ayla, can you not hear me? Are you okay?” Damon asked, his eyes searched through mine as I was lost in thoughts.I whizzled out of my thoughts and stared back at him, “did you say something?”“Yes, I was asking if you want to see the grand Alpha but are you okay?” He asked instead.

    Ayla's povMy feet were starting to ache, but I paid little attention; I was determined to wait for Calyx. To pass the time, I decided to amuse myself by playing with the pebbles scattered on the river bank. Kicking them around proved tiresome, so I glanced at my watch, muttering, "It's almost 6 pm, what's keeping him?" I scanned the area, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.Calyx and I had been childhood sweethearts, our bond has been strong even before we obtained our wolves. With both of us hailing from influential families in the Silver Moon pack, we were the envy of all. My father is the beta of my pack and I'm mated to the Alpha's son.We have dated for a few months and those were the best days of my life.Earlier today I had received a call from Calyx, asking us to meet at the river bank. He mentioned that he had something important to tell me and I was so eager to hear it. But it's exactly two hours now and I've not seen a shadow of him.“Ogh…”A tired yawn escaped me, I really

I yelled, but she didn't even flinch.As I glared at her, the fact that she doesn't even look shaken baffled me. What is wrong with me? Why am I having such dark thoughts about my sister?"Hand me back my phone," she snapped, irritation coloring her voice. I hesitated, conflicted by mixed feelings. Since when did they maintain such a relationship? Carla had never hidden her dislike for Calyx.Brrrrrrg… Brrrrrrg…The sudden beep of my phone shook me from my thoughts. I retrieved it from my pocket, eyes fixed on the caller ID.“It's Calyx,” I mumbled. My gaze remained on Carla as I answered. “Hey.” the word eased out of my lips dryly.“I'm sorry for keeping you out, Ayla. I promise I was caught up with something important,” he explained.“You don't have to apologize for that, I heard.” I said in one short breath, relieving him of the stress of explanating.“Great!

It was as if I was draped into a painful situation and it was all just a prank. To scare me. But my eyes know what they saw, what was his reason? Why would he after so many months cheat on me like this?Questions took control of my being, filling me with all sorts of thoughts. As I approach them, hot tears scattered in my eyes, blurring my vision.“Oh, you timing bastard! Here I was wondering why our mate bond is becoming so weak not knowing you were busy fucking my sister!!” I fired at Calyx.“Lower your voice, Ayla!” He rasped, not even feeling an ounce of shame.My eyes welled up in surprise, “I am shouting? Did you just say I should lower my voice?!” I was literally screaming and at this point I could definitely lose my voice but I didn't care, I just wanted to ge

I called out settling into one of the sofas in the room.It had been twenty minutes since I had sent for the healer, the long minute had been filled with an emptiness that expanded deep in the inside of me till it threatened to eat me alive.How fitting my belief had been that this was the only way out. Much as the entire thought of what I was about to do seemed to me as being desperate, I was beginning to realize it had to be done.I stood in the middle of the beautiful apartment and felt nothing but cold and emptiness as the door opened, three people walked into the room and as my gaze turned to meet them, a smile came up on my face.My mind spun with desperate thoughts of how all of this was going to end.

I couldn't help thinking about Calyx and how urgent his call had been.While that thought weighed heavily on my mind, it didn't help much that I had a different agenda for seeing him again that evening.It had been a while we had been seeing each other, and the way he had looked at me each time I popped the question about him taking me home to his palace had been a cause for attention.The click of my heels echoed off the wooden floorboards, as I made my way into the hallway. Amidst the silence, I could feel my heartbeat within me replay each thudding sound it made, letting it echo through the hallway.I arrived there and stood in front of the door of his private suite, taking a deep breath. I knocked twice.Deeply in my soul, I could say to myself that the certainty that I felt that he was all mine was the same, but something had shifted.I stoo

And then his conversation with Ayla rang in my head and I jolted up in an instant, causing Damon to furrow his brow.“What is wrong? Did something happen to your father?” He asked, standing up to join me.I shook my head. “No, no. I just got reminded of something. Give me a few minutes, I will be back.” I said in a rush and dashed out without giving him any further, doubt.As I headed to my father's study, Ayla's name kept on replaying in my head. It was her, she must have gone to see him behind my back and told him all that I'd been putting her through.Ayla, the guts of you to report me to my father! Even after the series of warnings I've given you, you went ahead to do the exact thing I warned you about.Aren't you treading the wrong path?A bitter-sweet smile crept into my face as I entered the study and met her there.

The atmosphere was loud and noisy, but I remained in my chair as the party was just the perfect distraction that I needed.But not until I had my eyes on Carla. She was standing among the crowd and her entire attention was on us. She fixed me up with a tight glare, her lips weren't moving, but I heard her anger loud and clear. It was evident on her face.My eyes were still on hers when I felt a hand snake around my waist. I shuddered, breaking my gaze on Carla.It was Calyx. He was staring at me with disdain. What does he want? Didn't I do as he asked?He leaned close to my ear, giving the audience a show. “Don't even think about tonight, it's just going to be another long night just like the wedding.” He whispered and planted a kiss on
