Lance's POV

My wife's situation was out of hand. She made me feel like a total stranger. I would have made a fool of myself if I had not pretended to know about it before Greg. It is not that I don't want her to resume her position but this all came up out of the blue.

We had agreed she wasn't going to take up the position until she was ready. I was more than shocked tonight.

"She made a fool of me and I had no say. What's wrong with you Lance? Get a hold of yourself." I said to myself, admist trying to close up the hurt spot in my heart.

"Aren't you a man? Why are you sulking over a mate you possess? Just give it to her the way she wants it. Avoid her, act cold and I am sure she would come back to her senses." a voice said in my head.

But I wasn't the type to do such kind of thing especially to the most dearest person to me.

I may be able to act cold to my enemies outside but I can't you so in my home. I shook off the thought.

    Lance POV"Did I put something inside? Why would I do such?" I questioned myself rhetorically because I wasn't expecting any answer from my wife who was already walking away from me.I just shrugged my shoulders, not taking the near false accusation Olivia was placing on me. I had noticed she had become extremely conscious of what she ate and drank. She would scrutinize the food during meals and sometimes ask the Butler or chef to have a bite before she would lift the food to her mouth. This was the new Olivia I had to live with. I would have been glad if she cared a little but she seemed not to care at all. Little Adrian, our baby was safe from knowing this side of his mother as he was either in the care of the maid or Eloise. Despite Olivia's emotionless state, I yearned to show her all the love bustling inside my heart for her. I grew to overlook all her strange and bizzare acts and embrace the way she was. I showed her all the love I have got and did not mind if she was givin

    Ashley/ Olivia's POV I felt chills from that kiss. I could not control it. I would say it just happened. I was probably in a trance and I need to get my acts together.I heaved a heavy sigh, feeling the spark I had felt ignite, vanish."Well, what did you find?" Lola's question helped me push the last thought of the kiss I was having out of my head."Nothing much. They aren't much secret there. Just a vast layout of books on the shelf and important pack materials." I replied her, a little bit frustrated I wasn't making any significant progress on this aspect. My body has been getting sufficient training but getting information was not easy. I was a lone woman standing with no aide. I had asked for Lance permission to use in study because I thought I could gather any information even if it was something minute."I wish I could do this openly, it would have been easier.""How about the Second Plan?" Lola asked."What plan? Oh no! Don't bring that up again Lola. I don't even kn

    Eloise POV"Yes, Greg is not supposed to be the Alpha. For me, Lance was too soft to give up the position for him. Tsk tsk." I explained with disgust on my face, clicking my tongue at the end."Why not Greg? Why do you say he is not fit?" Olivia asked, picking interest."You know they are step brothers, right? Lance is more responsible than Greg and everyone believed he would be the alpha after their father.""I still do not get it. Lance is the younger while Greg is the older so automatically, Greg is supposed to be the Alpha." Olivia commented."Still supporting him even now?" my brow squeezed into a frown as I questioned her.""Stop being sentimental. I am only confused that is why I'm asking." She retorted. I realize that I've been a little bit overboard with my emotions. "I'll be objective." I told myself."It's very much different in our pack. Ones birthright or seniority does not determine if he would be the next alpha in Silvertail. It depends on the strength, competence and

    Ashley/ Olivia's POV I saw a thin line spread across Eloise lips, it parted and then a sound came out. She was laughing. I looked at her bewildered. Why was she laughing? I know the question came to her unexpectedly but I didn't think she would burst out laughing that way."I am so so..rry sorry." she said, still trying to control her torrent of laughter. She finally got a grip of herself and inhaled a lot of air before she spoke up."I am sorry I laughed so much. I did not know what to do. You know, it's funny for you to think that way darling. Why would I betray our relationship as friends and then hook up with Lance?""Betray? An incoming betrayal from a friend doesn't need to be announced publicly. With what I have gone through, it's hard to trust anyone especially a best friend. They are ones worst enemy." I scoffed and thought aloud in my head."Let me clear this darling, I'm not in a secret relationship with your husband. Neither do I have a thing for him. He's definitely n

    Lance POV I rushed over to Olivia whose arm was dripping blood. Anger coursed through every corner of my body. I was thorn apart from whether to jump on the bastard who had skillfully aimed a knife at my wife, ending his wretched life. But I had to attend to Olivia first."Hold him down." I roared as I made my way like a flash of light to where she was standing.I had lost her before due to my carelessness and I was not willing to go through such pain or trauma again. Anyone who dared touch an hair on her body would go down immediately, much more, let her blood drip. I was going to tear the bastard down with my own hands. I crossed over and held her hand out, pressing down on the spot to reduce the pressure of pain and stop the continuous bleeding."Ouch!" she winced in pain."Sorry. Hold up, darling. It's going to heal soon." I checked the fresh cut on her arm to make sure there was no sign of poisoning. That was what I dreaded the most. The knife could have been laced with an

    Ashley/Olivia's POV"Damn! Why does this thing have to come this time?" I cursed silently under my breath."Are you okay, dear? What's wrong with your stomach?" He asked, looking at me in a way that made my stomach flutter from another kind of excitement and not pain."Is it a poisonous pain? I am worried it may the poison. The knife may have been laced with a kind of poison I could b I t detect.""Poison?" I shot him a funny look at his quick conclusion on the cause of the pain.How could I tell him it was the thing with women every month? My monthly flow came easier than expected and in this situation of all times."I am okay. It's not any poison. It's just a sharp pain I felt but it's okay now." I lied through my teeth.The lie did not hold up long as the pain came up again, this time much stronger than the last. I clutched at my abdomen tightly, beads of sweat forming on my forehead. My face grew pale.I could not walk or even stand on my own.Lance shot me a grin and lifted me up

    Ashley/ Olivia's POV"Are you falling for him? Don't tell me you are!"" Arrgh! Keep quiet. I am not falling except you want me to fall into a pit again. It is probably another side effect of the pill I took.""Is the hotness and coldness you are feeling at the same time part of the side effects? Stop being delusional.""Just keep quiet. Shut up!" I shouted aloud. Lance look at me wondering who I was talking to. He pointed his index finger to himself and ask skeptically, "me?" I shook my head and averted my gaze from his."Why don't you want to look at me? Are you scared? I'm not a monster who wants to harm you. I really care about you. I will keep saying this until you accept my heart again. I Love You Olivia."My face flushed red and I hid my face with my palm. Why was he taunting me with those words? He has said this more than enough for a single day. I could hear the sound of my heartbeat. It sounded like thunder. We sat so close. I was just an inch away from him. His hands t

    Ashley/ Olivia's POVAlthough I had lowered my guard against Lance a little bit, I still had some restrictions.I talked with him at surface level and did not dare divulge any much information in case I would mistakenly blurt out anything that will give me off. My days in Silvertail were numbered. I had less than two weeks to wrap up everything and leave for Oakstone. I spent more time with little Adrian when I was not training or at the warrior's base. He was such a cute little baby. He reminded me of the fact that I could not give birth to a child of my own. I had no womb to ever carry a child again. The poison destroyed everything, leaving it barren.I had gone to the warriors base earlier than any other day but I had to rush back to the pack house to get a package. I could send anyone with the soldier but decided to get it myself. I had to stop at the alpha's office first. Greg was usually not always early to his office but I heard a voice coming from inside the door as I got

I have to go back to the house and do my chores.""It's alright but thank you for always being by my side, Emily."He did not disagree and just allowed me to go home. I left him while he went to pay a visit to Ashley.There was no way I would go to my own grave. Wouldn't that be like digging another grave and opening up a soft spot in my heart?Martains was convinced that I was just Emily who was sent to help him. It was better at this instead of revealing anything further that I was Ashley."You can finally return to the man who makes you smile like a fool." Lola teased me, jumping around in my head."Oh please, don't tell me you aren't excited too." I replied to her."I am but I am only excited because I would see my cute little baby, Adrian.""Hehehe, I know you miss him but you would not agree to it." I got to the house and then to my room. I quickly arranged the little things I had. I would be leaving for

    Ashley/Olivia's POVThe wood was silent once again, the only sound being the heavy breathing of Martains and the warriors.I watched as Martains and Carl stood still even when his warriors had taken Luciana's body and kicked the dead Greg's body somewhere far.He was not a member of any pack in Oakstone so his body could only be left there. As an alpha, he would have deserved better but he choose the path of a traitor. His pack members would look for him and take his dead body back to Silvertail if they wanted to.The expression on Martains's face was that of pain and devastation."You found the truth and brought an end to it all. You can break from the hard truth but endure it, man." Carl said, tapping on his shoulders before moving to join the other warriors.It was just me and Martains now. I moved closer, closing the gap between us.My hand found its way to his shoulders and tapped on it continuously. He held my hands and bent his head, letting the tears flow.It was the first tim

    Ashley/Olivia's POVGreg charged forward at Martains with a fierce battle cry, his claws extended and his teeth bared.The warriors around Martains rushed at him before he could even get closer and then they pinned him down.One of them raised his hands to hit down on Greg but Martains raised his hands for them to stop."Just pin him down first and don't let him move a bit. I am surprised why he is charged at me and wants to kill me. I need to understand everything going on here before I lay a finger on him."So they pinned him down as he kept struggling to free himself.I cleaned the dirt that had gathered on my body from rolling around and stood where I was while Martains and Carl walked towards me.The expression on his face showed he was confused seeing Luciana on the floor, the crazy wolf who wanted to attack him and then his personal maid, Emily in the woods."Why are you here, Emily? Why was he attacking you? And why is Luciana lying half dead on the floor? Tell me what is happ

    Ashley/Olivia's POVAs I turned to leave, a massive figure emerged from the trees and pounced on me, making me roll over. Luciana's eyes widened in surprise as Greg, his face contorted in rage, pounced on me.I was not expecting to meet Greg here. I was surprised but he would be more surprised. However, this was an opportunity to end it all. Martains and his men would be here soon.As an alpha, Greg was strong and he poured in all his rage on me. Our strengths were at the same level.I was below him so he did not see my face until I rolled him over and he caught sight of my face, my full appearance."Greg, no!" Luciana croaked, her voice weak from the poison."Olivia? What...why.. are you...? And what is the meaning of this? I mean, you, Luciana.""Are you surprised to see me here, brother-in-law?" I smirked, standing up and he took a step backwards."Don't listen to her, Greg. She is not the real Olivia." Luciana said, almost in a whisper, forcing herself to speak."Shhsh! Don't str

I sprang up, my body shaking with fear."Why are you still staying there talking? You have to run now else there will be no way out. Time is not on your side." Mary moved closer and dragged my hands, shoving a small bag into my hands and, a veil and a clothe to disguise.The reality hit me hard and I threw on the cloth immediately and covered the veil.I sneaked out of the room with the lead of Mary through a secret passageway we had created in the house for emergency.The passageway led directly to one of the borders of the pack."Hurry up, now Luna! You can't get caught." Mary shouted from the top while I entered the passageway, running as fast as I could.I was now like a fugitive

    Alpha Martains's POV"Guards!" I bellowed, my voice echoing through the halls. "Arrest Luciana at once! She is a traitor and a murderer!"My hands tightened into a fist as I thought that I had lived with a murderer all these years. I have lived with the person who backstabbed my mate and I, deceiving me with her innocence.My guards scurried off to carry out my orders."How dare you, Luciana? How dare you? You've fooled me big time. I am angry at myself but my anger for you is overflowing." Her face in my memory no longer looked like the innocent Luciana with all smiles. All I could see was a devilish smirk and smile.Some dots at this point however connected in my head but I was too foolish to pick up all these loose ends too soon and accuse her. Probably I felt that would be accusing another innocent soul based on my emotional judgements but see where it has led me.Ashley would never have died. She would have been alive, taking care of our child.Why would she come for me immediat

I felt something was off when I left the dungeon. It was as if something evil was lurking around and it had to be from Luciana.I knew I had to act fast to ensure their safety, and so I increased my pace to Martains' room.I met beta Carl still in the room with Martains."What is it, Emily?" Martains asked in a soft voice."I need to speak with you, alpha."Carl and Martains exchanged glances and Carl stood up, about to leave."You can stay. It is something you should also hear."I came up with something quickly to make him do just as I would say without looking suspicious."I could not sleep. It always happen this way to me when something not so good is about to happen.""And do you have any idea what that is?" the both of them looked at me expectantly.It was believable and I got them hooked

    Ashley/Olivia's POV Sam and Morris were arrested and that was it. Martains was not going ahead to arrest Luciana, imprison her and torture her."What the heck did those two tell him? He is supposed to be in a rage now and should be dealing with Luciana." I pondered on my head, pacing about my room."Or did they lie to him about who the person is? Or did they even leave that part out?" "Argh!" I screamed in annoyance as the possible hit me. It was either they lied or did not tell Martains that it was Luciana."Just what did they tell him?" I mumbled as I made my way out of the door to Martains's room.The tensed and angry lines on my face relaxed when I got to his door."Don't wait to knock, come in, Emily." Martains voice from inside startled me. I had not even knocked and he knew I was outside.I turned the knob open and entered inside. Martains stood before a small door leading to a small balcony in his room with his hands in his pocket.He had an unreadable express on his face.I

I won't allow anyone to ruin it this time." I mumbled as I sat on the bed lost in my thoughts.I tried to free my mind of whatever would weigh me down but my mind kept traveling back to Martains and Emily. Emily was the only pain in my neck but Martains had decided to join sudes with her and was also becoming a pain in the neck."Damn! How dare he do that in my face? I could have done worse if not that I am trying to be on his good side so my plans do not get ruined. Does he think I am the docile Ashley?" I said, scoffing."I thought they had finally gotten rid of you, Emily but you are back, stirring up more trouble and threats to me."Just as I was starting to calm down from the rage and frustration I was feeling, one of my loyal servants burst into the room."Your highness, I have urgent news." he s
