Shannon’s POVI didn’t know what to say or what to do or how to react. But one thing was certain, Melissa was a pathological liar and she’s lied to me and nearly everyone in the past before. I knew her and I knew that she was only trying to put confusion in my camp like she had tried with the Mayert triplets three days ago. “I may not have known you for a very long time but I knew you for a year and within that period, you showed me your true colors. I could see you for who you were and even though it’s been five years, you haven’t changed. You’re still the same girl begging for attention and willing to do anything to get it.” I scoffed. “Five years ago, I was a little girl starved of attention and I wanted to be noticed by the Mayert triplets by any means necessary but it’s been five years and I want to assure you that I’m no longer that girl you once knew,” Melissa said. “I’m sure you know why I can’t believe you. You made a life out of telling a lie to get what you want and leo
Shannon’s POV“You asked us to come in here for a meeting, is something wrong?” Ricky asked but I ignored him.I didn’t have time to have small discussions at this point. I was still livid over the fact that they had gone behind my back to make plans with Melissa and they had the guts to lie to my face when they told me about what happened.I wasn’t going to tolerate such behavior from them anymore, I had taken enough.I nodded at the guard and he made his way outside to bring in the man I wanted to introduce to them.
Shannon's POVI downed the glass of wine in my hand rather quickly as I poured myself a new one, filling the glass to its brim this time around.I was pissed and trying to calm myself down before I did something that I might come to regret in the nearest future.After all these years, I thought that I was finally going to be unchallenged and I would have everything I wanted – especially the revenge that had kept me up for most nights during the past five years but it seemed like everything was going to end up in waste as it stands. No one knew what I had been through or how I had survived after running away from the Mayert pack either, they were all interested in my success story but they didn't want to know how I got there. Before I met Benjamin, who had helped make life easier for me, I used to sleep in front of stalls every night where I had to fend off attacks from rapists and bandits, I rarely came out of those attacks unscathed but I won every battle I was up against even thoug
Shannon's POV"Ever since the Mayert triplets left this room earlier, I knew that they were the type that would only respond to force. And then when you consider that they dare to sign a deal with someone else, it should tell you a lot about what kind of wolves they are." Joshua began."Is there something you're trying to make me see before you tell me your plan?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes. I needed my brain working overtime now."Yes, Shannon. I don't know what they've done before now but I'm sure that it's all connected. They didn't just wake up to say that they've been expecting you to forgive them, they always knew it wouldn't work. They punished you and they were directly or indirectly responsible for your mother's death. But yet, they brought it up anyways." Joshua said. I paused momentarily as I pondered on a few things. When Ricky had been speaking on behalf of his brothers, he said the reason they wanted to end this contract was because they felt it wasn't going to yield
Ricky's POVI had mixed feelings about this but deep down, I knew that I didn't have a choice and Shannon had all but influenced this move after her latest decision which we couldn't live with. It was futile trying to change her mind and now that she had categorically made her decision clear, I knew that nothing we would ever do would change her mind so we had to leave. My brothers shared the same opinion as I did as well, finding another benefactor was on top of our list which meant that going back to Melissa was on top of our list. We left the pack earlier and we were now waiting in the same booth where we met Melissa the other day. I informed her of our decision and course, she was delighted to hear that we had chosen her."I want to apologize for running late but your answer came at an impromptu time and I had to set a few things in order before I made my way here, I hope you're not pissed at me?" I forced a smile on my face. "I have no reason to be mad, Melissa. You're going
Shannon's POV"Everything has been set and the first attack was successful, we've significantly hit a very sensitive part of their defense and I'm sure that they won't be able to witness two more of our attacks and very soon, the pack will be yours," Joshua said, giving me a rundown of what happened yesterday.It felt relieving to be taking revenge in the name of my mother who had died like a slave in this pack. I didn't want to take this route but I was left with no option. I couldn't stomach the fact that my oppressors had ganged up against me once again to have the last laugh, not after everything I went through to be where I am today. I had the money, power, and influence to bend things to my will and this was only the beginning. They were going to pay for their sins and they were going to confess as well. If they failed in doing both of these, I would burn the pack to the ground without any hesitation.I hadn't seen my son in a day so I decided to see him before I went to bed.
Shannon's POVI knew how to get into the pack without anyone seeing me as I had done it a thousand times five years ago whenever I tried to escape being bullied by the Mayert triplets. It was pointless to have told Joshua about where I was going, it would've led to a lot of arguments that I didn't have the stomach for, not when I had no idea what was happening to my son at this point. I didn't want to imagine the worst but Ricky's letter had been very convincing and I had to force myself to believe everything he had said in it because the truth was that, I had no other choice. If this was a trap, Joshua would come for me and he would bring the pack down with fire and brimstone if that was what it would take for him to avenge me. Aside from the fact that I was scared for my son, I was also scared that the Mayert triplets would eventually figure out the secret I had kept from them for the past five years. As I had predicted, it had been easy to bypass their security and it would've
Shannon's POV"We have nothing to talk about, Ricky." I sighed. "Just tell me what you want and I'll give you in exchange for my son's safety." "Don't you still get it, Shannon?" Ricky said."What are you talking about? There's nothing to be understood here, this is a simple negotiation that you've been dragging on for minutes now. Are you keeping me here on purpose? Is there something you have planned?" "If this were to be five years ago, your son would've been killed, and not just that, you'd have been tricked to come here under the guise of us wanting to return your son and when you come, you'll be beaten, and battered, then forced to surrender if you want to see your son alive and when you do, I'd have killed him in front of you before killing you as well. I hate to paint this vivid imagery of what we would have done but you know this is the truth.” Ricky said.I shivered slightly as his words registered with me.He wasn't telling a lie, five years ago, this is what they would h
