Miranda's POV It was midnight. The breeze rustled before dancing into the room. The sound of the night was like music to my ears, it played a perfect tune and helped soothe my tensed-up muscles. As usual, the night was going to end up with waiting up for a drunken Darren and guiding him to bed. A tear slipped out of my eye and I quickly wiped it off as I had grown too used to crying by this time and didn't want to, at least not this night. My eyes danced over the already set dinner table before I picked up a Bottle and poured in wine, the wine we ought to have used to celebrate tonight. I still couldn't believe that I had thought this year would be different, Darren hadn't changed. With a sad smile, I walked over to the couch and sat down. The routine was like this every other night, the only difference was that today was supposed to be special to me. I sipped the glass of Pinot Noir as the clock ticked away. So many thoughts of what he could be doing out there flashed throu
Miranda's POV For a minute, I thought he was shocked that I had made that decision, maybe he cared for me. He seemed so surprised, it could be that he was never expecting me to be brave enough to nurse myself out of his emotional abuse. I was certain Darren didn't love me, his heart was beating for no one else but Vivian. Even in her absence, I couldn't even compete with her, the mate bond wasn't even strong enough to make him want to look my way like I was a female. A female that he was mated and married. Deep down, the thought that I knew that once this was done there was nothing like regret even though I was already feeling empty. I had rather have a life than stuck myself to the hip with someone that didn't even love me. It took me a pretty long time to realize that Emerald was right and it was time to change my life, the right time to move on. "Okay!" I heard him say and if I wasn't certain at first that he didn't want me, I was now. His shock and the look of surprise on
Miranda’s POV "You know what he wants very well"."and since you want to feign ignorance then I will tell you, he wants you back home..."“What does he have to say about my decision not to return home?” I asked, my eyes leaving the contract that had just been handed over to me to stare at him.Judging from the not so invisible air pod inserted in my ears, I could tell my Dad was listening and would have something to say about my stubborn decision of not returning home.Michael nodded and said, “your father understands your reason and is perfectly okay with your decision but only on one condition, Miranda”.There had to be an option as I knew the kind of person Dad was, if I’m not wrong it had something to do with the Imperial Group, the packs business.“Well out with it already and stop staring at me like I’m going to run away” I teased and he nodded, “Miranda, you would have to take your original place at the company by being the general manager of the pack business and not only that
Miranda's POVDarren didn't disappointed me at all and he did just like I knew he would.He ran over to her aide and helped her up, he looked so mad with rage and I didn't care.They were very stupid of they thought I had no idea of what had happened last night.It all made sense now and I understood why Darren woke up sprewing nonsense, there was no way he would have done the same thing if it was Vivian he had seen upon waking up or even blamed her for drugging him.It has been less than 24 hours since I left the house and she was already in.Did I really mean that less to him that he couldn't just wait till I had cleared out my things before doing this.I didn't even know what to feel, my guess is that the moment he left the pack house, he brought her home to take my place.He couldn't even wait any longer, he just had to have her now I was out of their picture perfect life."It's all a misunderstanding" Emerald cooed sadly, I use to care and prioritize him but not anymore."A specia
Darren's POV Miranda was different. The mean look on her face had me stunned, to say I was surprised was going to be an understatement. Never have I seen this part of her before. It seemed like she had snapped and if I were to think of how I had treated her all these while, it was justified that she felt that way. I had let my rage and love for Vivian push her against the wall. It then hit me that I had wronged her and needed to make up for my wrongs. As I moved to follow her. Vivian stopped me, “What the hell do you think you are doing, Darren?”. “She made her decision clear to you and remember you chose me, so what are you doing?” She added before falling to her knees. She burst into tears, although she could melt the resentment I was feeling towards her now, “I am sorry Darren, but I don't regret anything I did last night” “It's been three years and I had no idea of what had been happening here, so I panicked and did what, I thought, was right” “I didn't know you were go
Miranda’s POV Leaving Darren’s villa with my head in place up high, a promise not to return seemed more like a dream than a reality. It was far simpler to say than to do…while saying it for a second there I believed that I could do it. Staying away even from the moment I stepped out was hard; upon entering the comfort of my homely car, I waited for him to run after me and apologize, if not for anything but for his wrong accusations and his mean treatment all this while. I was waiting for nothing because he never came out nor did he send her out, after what seemed like hours of waiting… Emerald just couldn’t take it anymore, and I couldn’t even blame her, I had just agreed to move on without Darren, so he’d regret his decision and come back to me while on his knees, but here I was waiting., “We have to go now”. “Just a little while more, I know he cares…didn’t you see it in his eyes, it was like he was trying to reach us”, “So much for walking out of Darren’s life” she teased, makin
Miranda's POV “Michael ?” I stared at Michael who was standing at the door with a smirk plastered on his face, there was no doubt that he knew exactly who, I thought, was at the door. I would have said dad, but the person I really wanted was Darren, and I didn’t even care if at all it sounded absurd. The fact that Michel could enter my house uninvited and with the key had me worried too, it made me feel so uneasy and the look on his face too showed that maybe he wasn’t expecting me here now. “Should I be worried by that look on your face?” he asked, pulling me out of my reverie, “should I be worried that you had just barged into my house without me opening the door”. “About that, I am sorry I wasn’t….” “Expecting me to be here, right? Well, I am here…the question now is what are you doing here, Michael ?” I asked with a frown plastered on my face. I was so damn angry he was the one at the door, and he was at the wrong place at the wrong time currently, he was standing at the rec
Darren's POV “Get this place signed over to Miranda” I ordered, and I heard a gasp escape his lips. Carl was surprised at my request and honestly, so was I, it seemed like I didn't even know what I was doing too. He had always known my resentments towards Miranda. I laughed at how stupid I was beginning to sound, not only him, but everybody knew how much I hated Miranda. I was doing this not because I wanted to taunt her, but knew how much she valued this place, after all, I had caused her so much pain, maybe this place would calm her down. This was the least I could do for her after the three years of pain I caused her. Not only have I caused her pain, but I have also made her lose out on so many years of her life. “Alpha, did I get you right? You want the villa after her name?” He asked, repeating my initial statement to a question. I turned to him and gave him a mean glare, his question wasn't the case, but rather he was the closest person to me and a means to transfer all
EPILOGUEFEW YEARS LATER."Happy five years anniversary!!" The light went on as the balloons went off, I covered my ears as I was allergic to the sounds of popping balloons.Flowers were thrown on the floor for the both of us to walk on as I and Darren walked through it to seat on our royal chair as Luna and Alpha.The whole pack were celebrating in Harmony as they brought different kinds of gifts for us."C'mon kiss her son." My father said as Darren took my chin and kissed me romantically, they all clapped and yelled in excitement as I shyed away.Jason stood Infront of us. "I Jason, am responsible for what happens to these beautiful couples as you all would hold me responsible if anything goes wrong in their marital relationship." He said a crazy oath that made everyone to laugh. "And thereby I'll be collecting daily marriage allowances." He added making everyone laughing out loud."You know I'll give you even a million." Darren added as we engaged in another round of laughter."It
Author's POVAfter the threats that Vivian gave Miranda and she overheard them talking about kidnapping her son, she was left with no other option than to leave the mansion with her son.Probably this was what she would have done rather than calling Jason to come help her, and now she was behind the reasons why he was no more.Whenever she remembered the lifeless body laying there on the floor then she blames herself because she knew that if she hadn't involved him in all this then he would have still been alive.All of this was her fault and she had no one else to blame other than herself.After hours of driving she finally reached the mansion of her father as she was granted access into the mansion.

Miranda's POVI was thinking that I would fall to the ground due to the force used to push me, but lucky enough I fell in the arms of someone familiar.From his scent I could tell that it was someone familiar more like someone I know personally."Why did you push her?" He asked as I took my gaze to meet with his, and I was surprised to see that it was none other than him, it was my bestie, the only human that has always stood by me without asking for anything in return.I was dazed when I saw him, I never thought that he would respond so quickly."Jason!" I muttered with so much excitement. "It's you." I said and checked him to make sure that it was truly him, and indeed it was him, flesh and hearty.He was looking as strong as ever. "It's truly you." I muttered as I hugged him so tightly."How are you." He asked as I said nothing."I can see that you're not fine and there's no need for me to ask of your wellbeing." He said as I released a sad smile.He then took his gaze to Darren. I
Author's POVAfter the incident with Theodore. Miranda was unable to investigate who hired them.Carl kept on instigating her that it was Alessandro that did it, but then Miranda was skeptical about this and then asked Carl how he knew about it.Carl simply said that it was his instincts telling him. That it was only the both of them, and probably Alessandro had some grudge against his friend.But that didn't convince Miranda, she couldn't just assume things, and regardless of the fact that, that was what Carl thought, it wasn't what she thought and so she had asked Carl to stop the accusations.Miranda rather took her speculations on Vivian. She was the one who threatened Theodore.She could remember when he was dragging her out of the mansion, she had said it with her mouth.She heard it loud and clear, and she wasn't mistaken to begin with."I'll deal with you Theodore." The thoughts played over and over again on her head.Although she asked Alessandro if he knew the men or had a c
Miranda's POV.I heard the voice of Alessandro some distance, and I could tell that everything wasn't okay. It was more like he was in danger of some sort.I could feel it in my wolf's instinct.Without having to wait for them to come closer I immediately ran out of the mansion, to go check what what's happening."What's happening Luna?" Carl who I had almost bumped on asked.I took my gaze at him. "What's happening?" He asked."I feel everything isn't okay, I can hear the voice of Alessandro from a distance, he was screaming out." I explained to Carl."Screaming out as in how? Can you elaborate?" He asked."I don't know I can't explain the way I am feeling right now but I can tell that something is really not right." I explained.Carl places a hand on my shoulders. "Can I tell you something?" He asked and I nodded."You don't have to feel this way okay you're just insecure and overthinking things because of what is happening, but I assure you that there's nothing happening." He replie
Author's POVDarren moved his gaze to her. "You're pregnant.." He began."That doesn't matter Darren, that shouldn't be an excuse for you to deny me of sex, you're my husband." She complained."I know that we're married according to you, but then I can't still have sex with you" Darren said to her."But why?" She asked in a broken tune."That is because you're pregnant, it isn't right to have sex with a pregnant woman, and you're not going to force me to do what is against my wish and principle." He warned.Vivian was annoyed and was now glaring at him. She was horny and wanted only Darren she wanted to also make a sex video of them having sex together so she could use it as her proof to show to Miranda.She intended to do this so she'll get extremely mad, this were are intentions; to get Miranda sad and heartbroken.But now Darren was acting stubborn and this pissed the hell out of her.She would have had something to torment her with."I have to make this happen." She muttered to h
Author's POV "Miranda." A voice called as she turned her gaze to the direction of the voice, then she got to realize that it was Elena."What are you crying again?" She asked as she took a seat closer to her."I have told you to stop this? I had told you that crying wouldn't solve anything but you don't always listen to me, you're just fond of doing what you like." Elena scolded."Why won't I cry when everything doesn't seem to be okay, how can I be happy when I have lost my husband?" She asked."Lost your husband how explain to me Miranda let me understand you properly, how did you lose Darren?" She asked."How do I start explaining this? All this while I thought that maybe the relationship between the both of us was finally going somewhere, not to realize that I was only fooling myself." Miranda replied in a low and sad tune."I don't understand why the hell are you sounding this way? What has come over you? What happened, did Darren do something to you?" Elena asked in confusion.
Author's POV "Tell me Darren, did you fucking had sex with her or not?" Miranda asked tears flowing down her eyes as she held him by the collar.Darren was confused as he stared at her in surprise, he didn't understand what was going on."What the hell are you talking about? What has come over you?" He asked."You have come over me, how can you betray our love in such a way huh? How can you have sex as a married man? Don't you know that's a sin In the sight of the moon goddess, it's an abomination to be precised." She yelled."So if he should have sex with his wife it has become an abomination, but having sex with his secretary isn't right?" Vivian asked as Miranda took her gaze to her."And you evil woman, you still have the guts to talk rubbish right?" Miranda asked in anger as she ran to her ready to smack her across the face.She was able to meet up with her cheeks as she wasted no time in smacking her across the cheeks, and that was when Darren held her down."Let me beat this w
