Sheila’s POV.I woke up with a splitting headache, looking out the window I could tell it was already afternoon."How long have I been sleeping?" I muttered to myself, as I gently massaged my temples. "You must be really tired," Alfredo said as he climbed the bed from behind, startling me.I turned around sharply, to see him smiling at me."Hey beautiful," he said softly, and reached to put a stand of hair behind my ears. "You look gorgeous," he said, caressing my cheeks gently. His touch irritated me, because memories of what I saw last night flooded my brain."Thank you," I muttered, and stylishly got out of bed. I wouldn't want him to question me, because I'm not sure I'd be able to keep what I saw last night if he asked further questions."What's wrong?" Alfredo asked, as he stood up from the bed also. I guess my face gave me away."Nothing," I replied with a forced smile. "Are you headed somewhere important?" I asked, as I noticed he was all dressed up. I could tell he put in an
Melissa’s POV.“Where are we?” I asked, as I stepped out of the car, with the boys following behind“You said if we were family. You would not eat in that shit hole. This right here,” he said as he gestured to the house. “Is our family home. Where you can have all the fun you want.”I scoffed. "If this is a family home like you claim, what's with all the security?" I asked, looking over at the amount of security patrolling the house."Sweetie, I'm Alpha, remember?" He boasted. "You don't expect my family not to have all this security so you?"Alfredo signaled the guards and one of them opened the door.“Welcome to your new home, boys,” he said as he stretched his hands, spinning across the room.I knew he had their attention as they left my hand and protection to peer at the seamless beauty surrounding us.“It’s beautiful, mum,” Daemon said, turning towards me with both his hands interlocked.“Of course I only want the best for my family,” Alfredo said as he turned towards me, leaning
Aiden’s POV"Stop," Farell ordered in a low growl. I had barely driven for a minute.I sighed, as I stopped momentarily with the ignition still on and turned to face him. "Farell, I understand you're hu… you're disappointed in Gabriella, but heading to goddess knows where in this state is not advisable," I told him. "Let me come with you, I promise you won't even notice I'm there.""I'll be fine, Aiden," he said lowly. "Don't treat me like I'm some child.""I'm not–""For fuck sake, Aiden!" He growled, and hit the dashboard. "I said I'll be fine!"I sighed, because I knew even though I can be strong headed, it can't be more than Farrell's strong headedness."Be safe," I told him, because I knew at this point he wouldn't listen to any word I say unless I do as he asks. "I'm just a phone call away if you need me."Farell, didn't say a word and just got down from the passenger's seat, and there was my cue that I was no longer needed right now.I got out of the car while Farell got in, an
Claire's POVIt's been two weeks since Melissa supposedly left Nightshades, and Alpha Farell has basically done nothing but locked himself up in his room, while the omega's dropped cartons of alcohol by his door. Most nights, we could hear him growling, it felt like a part of him left with that bitch. Well, I just need a chance to make him forget all about that bitch at the drop of a hat."Do you have everything that I asked for in there?" I overheard Aiden's voice, it was coming from the kitchen."Yes, Beta Aiden," an omega responded.Curiosity got the better of me, and since I was practically idle at the moment I decided to go find out what's happening."Hey Aiden, what's happening?" I asked ,as I saw trays of different foods lined up."Nothing, just want to take this food to Alpha Farell," he responded and got back to dishing out orders."Isn't this a bit too much?" I asked. "He hasn't eaten for two weeks now, the last thing he'll want is too much food.""I don't know," Aiden said
Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been over two weeks and I felt like my life has been sucked out of me. The heavy stench of alcohol was the air I breathed in now, accompanied with the whimpering of my wolf, Ora. What was left of both of us was our brain refusing to accept that Gabriella was truly gone, she left us to be with that scumbag.I can't even tell what's happening physically and what's just a figment of my imaginations. For the first few nights Gabriella left, my nights were plagued with dreams of her returns, but for the rest of the night till now I couldn't tell the difference between day and night, I've been in a loophole of endless emotional torture. Why I feel this way, I had no idea. She wasn't my mate, I've never had one but I'm sure even wolf's that lost their mates didn't feel as empty as I'm feeling right now.Has Gabriella always been like this? Was I blinded by the soft spot Ora had towards her that I couldn't see the real her? All that filled my thoughts were countless q
Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been three days since Aiden made me see things clearly, and honestly speaking, this has been the longest three days of my entire life. It actually felt like an eternity. I'm trying to do things Aiden's way but Ora isn't having it. He's beating himself up about not seeing through this and believing Gabriella won't just abandon us like that.The door to my study swung open and Aiden walked in."Any news from your guys?" I asked impatiently."Yes, they trace Alfredo to a secluded house at the outskirts of his Pack's territory," he explained. "One won't even guess something like that was there," he said. "They'll try and confirm if Gabriella and the boys are there tonight," he continued. "The place is heavily guarded, and if they're indeed there we wouldn't want to tip Alfredo off that we're on to him so we need to be careful and patient–""I don't have patience, Aiden," I said, my voice higher than usual. "I messed up, don't you get it?" I asked rhetorically. "I
Alpha Farrell's PovHow we arrived at the location in the text was a total blur. The stone walls of the shrines were cracked and filled with overgrown vines.As we stepped towards the entrance of the shrine, the door to the shrine creaked open.“Ah, Alpha Farrell,” Alfredo called out gingerly, spreading his arms wide like he was seeing an old friend. “I must say, I'm disappointed you didn't send an official letter. I would have made your welcome, more… memorable,” he smirked.“Cut the crap, Alfredo!” I snarled, bringing out my claws, as I marched forward, Ora flashing in my eyes. “Where's Gabriella? Where are my boys?”“Your boys?” Alfredo chuckled darkly. “I think you're getting things wrong, Alpha Farrell,” he said, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “THEY ARE MY BOYS. And as for my MATE, I'm sure she doesn't want to see you.”“Alfredo!” I growled, charging towards him.“Farrell!” Aiden called out to me from behind.“What?!” I snapped irritatedly, turning sharply to face him
Claire's POVToday makes it exactly four days since I saw Aiden and Alpha Farrell last. From what I was told, they suddenly got into their car and drove off. At first I was worried that maybe, somehow they'd figured out that Gabriella was in Silverrose Pack, but I called Alfredo and he confirmed that they never showed up at his Pack.I didn't take his words for it when he told me, but everywhere has been calm, and there's no way in hell that Alpha Farrell found Gabriella and Alfredo still have his head.“Don't get happy too quickly,” Anya said through the mindlink. “I’ve got a feeling that this is the calm before the storm.”“Yeah right,” I replied, rolling my eyes. “There's no storm coming. If there's one thing, the storm already happened and this is the calm after the storm.”“But–”“Not now, Anya!” I snapped. “Alfredo is going to mark and announce Gabriella as his Luna today, and we’re going to witness that alongside anybody,” I explained. “So, no matter what storms come after this
