Edna's POV"Alonso," I let out a whimper as we both sat in the car. I sit in such a way that my cleavage is now full on display to Alonso. Alonso grabs the keys from the driver and he insists on driving. Now that's not according to the plan. But I am willing to stay positive. It's alright. It's alright even if the driver doesn't stand as a witness. I am a virgin so people will know even if they want to examine me. I sit patiently in the car, whimpering here and there as if I really am in my heat. If Alonso is just waiting for us to get to the guest house again, then I would wait. I just want to have sex with Alonso and that's it. That is the only way I can seal the deal with him. And send Venus out of the picture of course. It was a painful and exciting thirty minutes of my life as Alonso drove to the guest house by the lake. He is constantly looking around to see if at all there are any werewolves running behind. A she wolf in heat is no joke really. "Was that why you wore this d
Alonso's POVHer scent is intoxicating. Her heat is at her peak stage now, probably. But in a way I am glad that we are not in any werewolf territory. Or I would be fighting with raging he-wolves ready to lay their hands on her. Edna attempts to stand up but I shove her down and make her sit in the bath. I hear the sound of her teeth clattering for the cold but I have no other option. I cannot let my self control slip at any cost. I cannot do that to Venus. I will not do that to Venus. No matter how hard the situation is. "Alonso, this is not what I want," Edna says as she attempts to stand up again but I put my hand firmly on her shoulder and make her sit in the bath tub again. I know what she is craving at the moment but I am afraid I cannot give that to her. Not in my right senses. The scent is intoxicating and my skin feels different when I am touching her. And not in a good way. My inner soul is screaming at me that I should pull my hand away but Edna needs help. Or she might
Venus's POV"Theo!! Time is running out. You need to tell me if someone is planning an attack on Alonso," I scream at Theo. But he could barely keep his eyes open. There is yet another plate of untouched food lying in the other corner. He is ready to kill himself at this rate. And I would fucking name myself as an idiot before that happens! I grab Theo by his shoulders and make him look at me. He really is trying to get himself killed. I don't care at this point. I have been way too patient with him and he doesn't seem to care the least bit. "What is Edna planning?" I ask him, because there is no way this surprise human territory trip is a coincidence. "She is planning on making babies with Alonso out of wedlock!" Theo says gathering his little strength and he finally looks at me through his hooded eyes. "I didn't want to tell you. But you said he's your mate. So this is all I can say," he takes a gulp of his own saliva and I shove an entire bottle of water into his mouth making
Venus's POVI pull away from the kiss and smile at Alonso. I trusted him and he just proved it right. At this point I just want to confront Michael and end this torment for both of us. The matebond is strong and I cannot let him go again. "I promise I didn't do-" "Shhh," I whisper, placing my index finger on his lips and moving closer to him. "I saw it, Alonso. I trust you. That's why I didn't raise a question," I say, making him smile. But his smile turned into a confusion as soon as he hugged me and pressed his nose into the nape of my neck. He then pulls away and takes my appearance. Of course I am still in Monica's dress and I smell like I walked through a bundle of cilantro, belladonna, mint and all other herbs known to mankind. "I was with Monica. I wanted to know where you were. I just didn't want to wait until you come back and," I'm at a loss of words but Alonso just laughs and pulls me closer to him again. I am even more glad that he missed me just the way I missed hi
Alonso's POVVenus and I sit together and have pizza while Edna is taking a nap. She said she wasn't well and even Venus said it's common for she wolves to feel tired and drained after heat passes. I still saved a pizza for Edna. She can just have it as it is or reheat it and have it after waking up. It is a bit strange how her heat just vanished as soon as Venus came here though. But before taking a rest, Edna was sweet enough to give a pair of pajama sets to Venus. It looks a bit tight on Venus, not going to lie. Edna is more fragile and thinner than Venus. I am not trying to objectify here, but I love my girls thick as heck and someone who can fight. "Why are you here though?" I ask Venus, as she takes a sip of the drink they call coke here. It's fizzy and is making me feel like a kid who was denied all this because it's healthy, and now an adult who realized that this is the greatest shit ever. "I just missed you. And I had a miscalculation that someone was going to attack yo
Alonso's POVThe faint taste of the coke she drank earlier is still on her lips. I sucked her bottom lip making her make a soft sound that made me repeat the step again. I pull away to look into her warm brown eyes. She is already looking at me, her chest heaving with the heavy breaths she is taking. Sometimes my inner self feels great that I give her these kinds of breathless kisses. "You still want to leave?" I ask Venus and she looks away. I feel her guilt. I feel her emotions turning wavy with what she saw earlier. I don't blame her though. I would have gone mad and killed the person in front of me if I saw them try to kiss Venus. I pull away from her completely and stand up, that makes her look at me in confusion. Well, if she is feeling guilty enough to leave.. then I guess it's my responsibility to make sure she would want to stay. I get rid of my clothes once I am sure the main door is locked. I place my hands on Venus's t-shirt and wait for her to push me away if she does
Edna's POVI hear their shushed voices. They are eating as they are talking, and I can figure out that much. The audacity Alonso had to ask me for my clothes so that Venus could wear them. She showed up in a hideous dress that's not hers and whoever that is seriously needs to work on their fashion sense. And she slapped me . Oh My Goodness she actually really slapped me. I feel my blood boiling in my veins and I have no idea how to calm them down. Not even my father or my mother raised their voice at me and here Venus is, raising her hand on me. I told my father about Alonso and Venus's mate bond last time. But now I guess I need to write to him again. This stupid Venus keeps coming in between Alonso and I. I swear if she didn't come earlier, Alonso and I would be sleeping on his bed. Fucking Theo! I hear giggles again and I resist my urge to gag at that. What else can I do? What am I going to do now that Venus knows what my plan is. "She knows. But that doesn't mean she is goi
Alonso's POVI am alone on the couch by the time I open my eyes. And I take a look through the huge glass wall to see that it's about time for the sun to rise. I haven't slept like this in a while. I skipped dinner because I wasn't even awake. I wonder when Venus woke up and where she could be. I got up and pulled up just my pants. Venus and I fell asleep naked, I remember only that much. I followed the lingering scent of honeysuckle and found my mate in the backyard. At the dock by the lake, she is sitting alone staring at the stars. Her feet dipped in the water, dangling from the dock. Her Auburn hair is dancing to the wind and she looks peaceful. Something I don't see often. Peaceful Venus. I sit beside her but she doesn't look at me. But I bet she might have noticed I was here due to the scent. The stars are about to fade since it's about time for the sun to rise. I took a look back at Edna's room to see if she was watching us. The one with the Lakeview is Edna's. But she is
Third Person's POV..Three years later. ..."Oh come on now! It's time" Alonso screamed at the top of his lungs but no one seemed to care what he wanted to say. And he was only growing more frustrated with each passing second. Venus agreed to mark him back after three years of solving all their problems. And today is the day they killed John Adams three years ago. "It's Dorian's birthday tomorrow. I am just wrapping up a present for him," Venus screamed back from their bedroom. "Is that really necessary, love?" Alonso asks her even though he knows that she misses her best friend."Of course it is," Venus said, finally opening the door so Alonso could get in. Cole and Dorian are now the Alphas to the Ocean Howlers Pack. Cole is the Alpha by his right after his father passed away. He still doesn't know how his father died. He only knows that he died. And the fact that he never tried to know told everyone pretty much the backstory of it. There was a huge ruckus about the Alpha
Alonso's POVI sit before John Adams who doesn't have any idea that I cracked the code. Or he knows but is not ready to act so. I instantly understand I am standing in front of the man who is probably the most dangerous person I have ever encountered. He was right in front of me all the while and I never knew. He was right in front of my family and they never knew. Because he made sure he touched the topics we were supposed to think about. About the wedding. About the political alliance. About the life debt. He successfully dodged the subjects of everything else. In a way that no one had a doubt. When Venus and I were talking about the camp and attacks and everything, he offered his help. So no one could doubt him. How would someone even doubt him when he just offered his freaking help? So did Edna know all the while.? "How is my daughter?" John Adams asks me and I raise my eyebrow at him. "Are we talking about Edna or Marissa?" I asked him and just like that, he stopped reading
Venus's POVThe rest of the journey to the Ocean Howlers Pack went by a blur. Because no one said anything. No one spoke anything. The story Michael said spoke volumes and I guess now everything is falling into place. That was why Michael was forced to give his word. The life debt. The one John Adams used to get his daughter on the throne. I never knew John Adams had a son before Edna and Cole. So for the last two years, we had been celebrating the life of John Adams's son. Not Alonso's brother. And Alonso's memories were wiped of because he stared into the red fire. His memories slipped out of his body through the blood tears that day. Now that is a lot to take in. And before we knew it, we were in The Ocean Howlers Pack. We all stepped down and people were partially shocked to see Theo without the chains and everything else. Because technically he was taken as a prisoner. They half expected that he would get executed as soon as he reaches the capital pack. And people bowed to A
Theo's POVMy eyes go wide when I realize that the hen was Edna. I didn't know when it happened. The last time I saw Edna was when she was in the clearing along with everyone else. And then Roger or whoever the fucker he was, struck Marissa with a silver knife. I rushed to the hospital along with Alonso and then I was shifted to the prison again according to the rules and regulations.I didn't know Monica turned Edna into a hen. Why did Edna even get down from the carriage in the middle of a fucking war! As soon as the carriage stopped back at the same spot again, I got down from the carriage and looked for the hen with white feathers. I feel Marissa behind me probably searching for the hen too. It didn't take us all ten minutes but Monica found the hen. The hen is sleeping under a tree with her beak so red she might have eaten berries or something. Typical Edna things for sure. I smile as I take the hen in my hands. I honestly can't believe this is Edna that I am holding. We all s
Alonso's POV "John Adams?" My mom asks me with shock clearly written on her face. Now this is something even she did not see coming. Everyone in the room is shocked. Except for Monica and me. Because this is something we both knew from the beginning. "Are you going to hide things or are you going to tell your kid about that man now?" Monica asks my father and I look at him. What is there about John Adams that I should know about?"Get the carriage ready. We'll go there and we are going to talk about it on the way," My father says and his expression is something else as he looks at me. "Is there a carriage that fits like ten people? Because we are all going to go as we get to know about the past. And it is going to be one nasty ride," Monica says. ....We didn't have a carriage that fit ten people. But in the short time that we have, all we did was join two carriages as one and break one side down so it's open. And then joined the two sides and made it into one big carriage th
Alonso's POV I sit with Venus and watch her fall asleep once again. Give it to her to fall asleep at any time, and any situation. Marissa is with Monica and even I didn't see it coming that she could be a witch. Even Monica seemed to agree with me when I told her that I see John Adams in her. I tried bringing up that topic with Venus but she just didn't see it that way. For a while I thought maybe I was reading too much between the lines. Venus stirrs in her sleep but I keep her head on my shoulder so she can still sleep conveniently. Her drool is on my shirt now and I smile a little. Apparently Monica restored the spell again and she said she made a few changes. I don't know what kind of changes, but I only hope she is sure about them. When the doctor finally walks out of Dorian's room, that's when Venus wakes up and is on alert mode. The doctor bows to me first and then her. But there was a smile on his face when he was bowing to Venus."Gamma Dorian is awake. And he is perfectly
Monica's POV I sit at the table again, with the hen in my hands. Venus didn't want to let go of the hen only because she doesn't know who this actually is. A bowl with rice grains flies out of the kitchen and lands in front of the hen. The hen starts eating the rice and I look at the kitchen, waiting for it to give me something. "Oh so now you are disrespecting me again?" I ask her and there is no noise. And when I am about to scream once again, a glass with cold water lands in front of me. I raise my eyebrow at it and look at the kitchen again. "Where the fuck is my morning tea you stupid!" I scream and a cup of tea flies out of the kitchen again. I roll my eyes and take a sip of my tea. The hen is about to finish the entire bowl. And I realize the entire pack might not have eaten dinner. Because the ruckus has happened during the dinner and everything stopped after that. I take a few deep breaths as I get rid of the papers strapped to my thigh. And I pull out the potions I stu
Monica's POVI flip through another page of my spellbook when someone knocks at the door. The time is odd and I would usually sleep right now, but somehow I chose to stay awake to go through the spell books. I need to find a way to get to Renee. That bitch is my daughter but she is just as powerful as I am. I can't even get a grip of her. If she does the blood rite, it brings greater evil into this world and I am so not ready to face all of it once over again. I looked through the orb when I heard the knocking in this unusual time. And I see someone from the capital pack. Not the Alpha or The Beta or Michael themselves. I ask them to come in and they walk in but in their wolf form. I am at least happy that they remember, I am not fond of humans or the human side of the supernaturals. "What is it?" I ask him in a deadly sick tone. The wolf just moves his head a little. And I see a note hanging in his neck. I carefully grab it, being careful not to touch the wolf. "We need you, Mo
Venus's POVAlonso holds Marissa as she falls down while I rush forward to grab Roger. He fucking turned into a mist. It's like I am trying to hold the air before me. I scream in frustration and turn around to find Alonso already throwing Marissa on his shoulder. He is rushing towards the hospital with a team of doctors running behind him. Everyone is here and probably a few nursing staff stayed behind at the hospital to nurse the already existing patients. I stayed back at the clearing. Now it's dark but the werewolf sight is helping me look at everything in a clear way. Linda and Michael are standing in the middle, scanning the surroundings again. "If Roger took Dorian's form. Then where is Dorian?" Dawn asks me and I look around once more. Where is Dorian? And how long did Roger stay around as Dorian? "When was the last time you talked to Dorian? Did he sound or seem suspicious??" I ask Cole and he thinks for a moment before shaking his head. "I was talking to him an hour ag
