Alpha Farrell’s Pov I walked outside with the kids in tow, wondering what could have caused the change in attitude. She was awfully quiet during the ride even when Frin made jokes about how he wanted to take the guard that blocked us.“Did I do something wrong?” I asked as I led the children to the back of the house and towards the lawn for them to have fun. They ran off, chasing butterflies that danced in the sky.The sky shone orange with the setting sun as we had returned late. A warm bath had set my body in motion as I returned inside, seeing the children run to meet me. Claire had a smile on her face with her little curt bow, but that wasn’t the matter.“Do you think she feels angered that you called her your mate in the presence of those alphas when in reality you both aren’t even in that position?” Ora growled from inside as I took a seat, crossing my legs over to let my mind think properly. “I don’t know,” I said to myself, tapping the side of the table like an OCD patient.
Alpha Alfredo’s PovOpening my eyes, I squinted against the brightness of the light, trying to make sense of my surroundings. Panic surged through me as I realized I was tied to a chair, and all my attempts to set myself free didn't work."You're finally awake," I heard a familiar voice I hadn't heard in a long time, accompanied by eerie calmness. "Well, you didn't miss the fun part. We're just getting started.""Melissa?" I called out in surprise, looking in the direction the voice came from."Hey boo," she said, the eeriness in her voice sending a shiver down my spine."What's going on here?".....the stench of blood wafted into my nose, invading my senses, and I immediately knew something was terribly wrong. "Mel–" I stopped mid sentence as Melissa stepped out in the open. She was putting on a white gown which was now stained crimson with blood. On her right hand she held a knife which was dripping in blood, and what she held on her left hand made my blood run cold.The head of my m
Alpha Alfredo’s Pov.A knock got me from my bed, sending me running to the door at that very second. I could not get hold of Alpha Farrell with a mobile line and had to do it the old-fashioned way by sending a messenger to his pack.Dex had said my message wouldn’t reach him as literally few people knew the entrance to Nightshade pack, and if caught roaming aimlessly around the Pack, it was an immediate death sentence.I was not a fervent believer of the goddess, but I prayed like never before to her and to any other god out there to make the messenger I sent over to Nightshade's Pack to come back in one piece. I had lost hope as days had passed without hearing from him when I heard a knock on the door, followed by Sarah's voice."Alpha Alfredo," she called from the other end.“Yes, Sarah, What is it?” I asked, as I opened the door. She stood with the messenger I sent, and my lips stretched into a smile, because it meant one thing; my message was delivered. “Leave us alone,” I said
Alpha Farrell’s Pov “Mom, Dad. I do not know if I’m about to make the worst mistake I could ever make,” I said as I stood next to their tombstone. My clothes dance in the wind. I closed my eyes to listen to the wind singing in my ears as it blew along.The voices of the boys giggling and playing in the garden could be heard from a distance. Claire and Aiden were with them, helping in any way they could, and also stopping them from doing anything that could cause damage.I opened my eyes to stare at the blue sky. Dotted with fluffy clouds that floated along the sky with the laziness of a slot.“Just give me a sign and I will stop this thing I’m doing immediately,” I prayed silently to the goddess, watching through the sky for the tiniest bit of clue.“We are done up here and will go have our breakfast," I turned to see Claire standing next to me. Lost in thought I hadn’t realized when she put her arms through mine until she spoke.“You guys should go on ahead. I still have some though
Alpha Farrell’s Pov “We've arrived,” My phone buzzed with a message from Kirk. I let out a deep breath as I stood from my table, walking to meet him outside. Now that he was here, there was something familiar about his face, but I wiped it off my mind as I offered him a handshake.“I thought you never trusted people enough to shake their hands,” he said as he took my hand in his, shaking it.I let out a little chuckle. “Did not think you would remember an incident from so long ago.”“But I did,” he said as he widened his hand.“I don't shake people when I'm outside my territory," I pointed out. "In here, I'm sure no one would dare try something funny," I said, giving him a fake smile.“I see," he said tersely, and I led the way into the house.“Looks like you want this meeting to be as private as private could be,” he said as he looked around when he noticed I led him into my study. “Which means the lady you brought to the meeting would not be here. Your Luna I mean.”“Both my beta
Alfredo’s Pov “Who is Melissa?” He asked me.“She is the one behind you. The one you are throwing away our alliance because you felt she doesn’t like it?” I asked as I pointed at Melissa, who they now refer to as Gabriella.“It doesn’t concern you who I base my decision on.” He said as he twirled the pen in his hand. It was obvious she had told him something as she came into the room. Either Lyra, her wolf had said something disgusting about me and his wolf had told him not to sign. There was no way that something had not happened for him not to agree.“She never told you about her past?” I asked as I stood.“Her past doesn’t matter any less than my pack matters to me. She is a member of my pack and anything I find offensive to her is offensive to the pack as a whole, and that includes your alliance,” he said as he dropped the pen, leaning on his hand.The sound of children running in the room sounds through the door.“No, not here,” Alpha Farrell said as he made to go to the door.
Alpha Farrell’s Pov I sat still in silence intensely watching the conversation between the both of them. One thing I've come to conclusion with is the fact that Gabriella, Melissa whoever she is, knows Alpha Alfredo. “Aiden. Get me Kirk to escort this man out of my Pack the same way he escorted him in," I said tersely. “You can’t do this to me, Alpha Farell,” he growled, banging his hand on my table. “You are no longer in Silver Rose pack, Alpha Alfredo," I informed him with creased brows, Incase he's thinking his words hold any weight in my Pack. "The reason for your coming to my Pack, ends now."“Are you just going to deny the truth before you?" He asked, pointing at Gabriella and glancing over at the kids. "You heard her yourself, she's–"Ignoring Alpha Alfredo, I turned in Gabriella's direction, unsure of what to call her. For seven years I’ve known her as Gabriella, but with the truth unfolding. I was no longer sure of what to call her.She stood there, wrapping her arms prot
Gabriella POVEverything was over as soon as it began. The room was silent, but I could feel the eyes of Aiden and Kirk as they waited for some sort of explanation.How could I have not known? How did I not see this coming? I pondered on my stupidity. Alfredo saw me during the last meeting, and even though I denied being Melissa, he saw through my act. He knew me so damn well to know when I wasn't telling the truth. So, there was no way in hell he wouldn't come looking for me by any means necessary.“Mummy. Who was that man?” Daemon asked, staring at me with puppy eyes that would make you not want to deny him of anything he would ask.What do I tell him? Do I tell him that this man was not only his biological father but also, through his actions I almost lost my life?“It’s nothing for you to worry about baby,” I assured him with a smile as I squatted down, and ran my fingers through his hair, gently massaging his scalp. I pulled them both closer, wrapping my hands protectively out of
