Alpha Alfredo’s Pov

Slowly opening my eyes, they landed on Sheila who was sleeping peacefully beside me, her arms on my chest.

“You'll pay for your humiliation, Alpha Farell," I muttered under my breath, as I gently pushed Sheila's arms away.

"Alfie," Sheila stirred half awake, pulling me closer to her.

“I need to clear my head,” I said, and got out of her arms and out of bed.

Lightning struck in the sky, lightening the darkened house in the early hours of the morning, as I descended down the stairs. The moisture in the air was enough to tell that it was going to rain. Either way, it was a gloomy feeling for me as I found my way in the dim light towards my mother’s door.

“I thought we were getting a drink to clear our heads?” Dex asked as he noticed the path I was taking.

“We would clear our heads after we’ve talked to mother,” I said as I let my mind push me in her direction.

The guard stood in front of me, not stopping me like before, instead opening the door for me. I nodde

    Alpha Farrell’s Pov I let out a low groan as I pulled out to the passage. No one seemed to be home as I walked up the stairs leading to the rooftop. I needed all the time I could get to myself.“It looks like you’ve had so little time to think of your next line of action.”I turned just in time to see some standing in the shed. It felt like my father talking as the cane in his hand smacked against the floor as he stepped into the dim light of dawn.I looked down, ashamed to speak to the apparition of my father, who came out to give his fatherly advice. “The timing has nothing to do with this,” I said as I raised my head to look at him. But instead, I saw Aiden standing with a walking stick in his hand.A sigh of relief escaped my lips, for a second there I thought it was a sort of trance and I was talking with my Dad's ghost.“What would you have done if someone was to disgrace you in the manner you did Alpha Alfredo of Silverrose?" Aiden asked as he tapped his cane on the floor, but

    Sheila’s POV My eyes shot open at the sound of thunder, making me wake up abruptly. Sitting upright, memories of the lovemaking with Alfredo flooded my thoughts, causing me to sigh, and stray tears ran down my cheeks. Last night love making was different, it felt like he was trying to pour out his frustration and I was just lying around waiting as the perfect prey.Wiping the tears with the back of my hand and stifling a yawn I got out of bed, with no idea of what to do for the day.I walked over to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror as I blankly stared at my reflection. It reminded me of the same look I usually gave my mom whenever I needed attention. “Luna Aziza was right,” I mumbled under my breath as I bent over the faucet to wash my face. “I need an heir, that way my place in Alfredo's life and heart is secured” I continued my monologue, stretching my hand for a towel for me to wipe my face.I overheard the door to the room creaking open, and I could already tell wh

    Claire’s POV “So, how are you going to do this?” Anya asked as I sat in my room thinking of ways I’d leave Nightshades without anyone noticing.Aiden rarely came by, and unless when necessary Aloha Farell doesn’t check on me which is quite sad honestly.“Are you even sure this plan of yours would work?” Anya probed further.“There’s only one way to find out, leave for Silverorse Pack’,” I responded, got up from the chair I was seated in, and headed to the bathroom.The thought of how everything is going to change for MY GOOD after I visit Silver Rose Pack made me giddy. After taking a quick shower, I quickly got dressed, grabbed my keys, and headed for my car, with one destination in mind; Silver Rose Pack.“Here goes nothing,” I whispered as I stepped out of the house, whirling the car keys on my finger. Aiden would be too busy planning with Alpha Farrell to know I was missing. Neither would the alpha know, as he had left Melissa in charge.The walk to my car was filled with antici

    Alpha Alfredo’s Pov I was getting really bored of the lady standing in front of me. For one, she didn’t introduce herself and I couldn’t care less but the fact that she was beating around the bush irritated me.I mindlinked Sarah to go get her out of my office. Sarah didn’t wait a second to carry out her instructions as soon as she stepped in.“I guess Melissa isn’t as important as you claim,” the lady said, looking deeply into my eyes.“Come on,” Sarah said and was about to drag her out.“Give us a minute, Sarah,” I said, looking at the lady in front of me who had a triumphant smirk on her lips. How did she know about Melissa and me? Her face doesn’t ring a bell, and I’m pretty sure she’s no friend of Melissa.“But—““Leave,” I said firmly.Without another word, Sarah bowed and walked out.“Who are you?” “I’m Claire Kennedy,” she answered confidently, seeing that she had my attention. Just like her face didn’t look familiar, neither did her name. There were only a few people who k

    Claire’s POV.Less than a minute after Alpha Alfredo left me in the room, the grumpy lady from earlier walked in.“Follow me,” she said, not bothering to hide her dislike for me. Well, the feeling is mutual, and I seriously don't give a fuck about her or anyone else in this godforsaken Pack.This time around she led me to a well-furnished bedroom. It seems as if Alpha Alfredo wants to treat me right so I wouldn't change my mind about our deal. Well, I won't, as long as he holds his end of the deal."I'll assign an omega to you," the grumpy lady said."Hmm," I shrugged and walked inside the room with my shoulders high. If not for the fact that I wasn't ready for long talks, I would have rubbed it in her face about me saying I have something of importance for her Alpha, but she didn't have the foresight to see. She locked the door behind me, and I could hear her scoff as she walked away, too bad she couldn't do anything about this.Before settling in the room, I looked around for anyth

    Alpha Alfredo’s POVThe car was silent as we drove to Lockhart Pack, I could see Sheila throwing side glances at Claire and also at me but I pretended like I was focused on my driving. Well, that didn't last long as Sheila began her interrogation, asking all sorts of questions and Claire was wise enough to agree to being a seer, and that kept her quiet and satisfied. I wouldn't blame Sheila though, if I were to be in her shoes, and some random man I've never seen before suddenly shows up when we're on our way for something important I'd be suspicious. And to make things worse, I didn't fill her in completely, I only told her we'd be having company. “Looks like a lot of things have changed since the last time I came here,” Sheila said as we drove into Lockhart's territory. "You're right, Love," I said in agreement, placing my hands on hers and caressing it gently. They have turned everywhere into a sort of greenery with plants dotting almost every region.After driving for about fiv

    Sheila’s POV.Growing up as a child, my Dad's study was strictly out of bounds. I was only allowed in, whenever he sent for me, and in most cases was when I was about to be scolded. But now, I can come in here without permission from him.Stepping into the study, everything seems the same just like I've known it. it smelled musty, and there was also a subtle smell of ink in the air, due to the fact my dad likes 'going old school' as he termed it. "I'll send a glass of wine over while you wait," Mother said, as we all settled in."Thank you, Mother," Alfredo and I said in unison while exchanging a knowing smile. Alfredo was one to never say no to a drink, and it's no news to all those who know my Dad, that he has one of the best wine collections in this region.About five minutes after we settled in, the door swung open and Mother walked in, carrying a tray containing wine glasses and a bottle of wine. She could have easily sent an omega, but this was her way of apologizing since my D

    Claire’s POV I knew this was a done deal the moment Alpha Brian shook my hand, as we were about leaving his study."One more thing," he pointed out as we were almost at the door. "You can't just communicate with her with a normal phone. It can be tracked," he explained. "I've got a few burner phones. I'll have my wife give it to you before you leave."I couldn't help but smile at his ability to think ahead. Alfredo and I have been so excited about the outcome of this war even though it was just the two of us who knows what this war really meant, that we didn't even consider the possibility of our phones being tracked."Thank you, Alpha Brian," I said sincerely from my heart, because if we were caught, not even Aiden would be able to spare me from Alpha Farrell's wrath."Lunch would be served soon," Luna Russell informed, as we all got out of the study, leaving Alpha Brian behind."I won't be staying for Lunch, Luna Russell," I informed her."Why dear?" She faked concern, but I could

    Hello guys, so the last chapter was supposed to be an author's note. I'm not really familiar with the author's center interface, so please bear with me. So, guys, I understand that I haven't uploaded any chapters for over two months, and that's because of my health. I'm really really sorry about that, but my health is not entirely under my control. I had to rush the story even though I had a lot planned out(walking you guys through on how Claire was caught, and what happened with Alfredo and his family). I just had to wrap it up because I feel it's long overdue. I know many of you must have forgotten about one or two details regarding the story, but for every single one of you that sticked to the end, I'm super grateful 🙏🏽. This is actually my first story, and the love you guys showed me was immense. Thank you so very much, and God bless you all. I hope to see your support whenever I come up with a new story. Kindly leave your honest reviews and criticism, on the general comment

    Alpha Farrell's POV Two Months Later. It's been two whole month since I found out that Gabriella and I were mates, and all the saga that led us to this moment. Alfredo has been stripped off his position as Alpha, and his family exiled from the Pack, they're basically rogues with nothing but scraps to feed on. Princess Sheila on the other hand, was given a more milde punishment. Lockhart was still under Nightshade's while she served as an omega in the Packhouse. This was the mildest punishment we could give her, since it was with her help I was able to locate Alfredo after he secretly changed the location where he held Gabriella and the boys. The first phone call I had received was from her. But Alfredo found out she was tipping me off, and used her to lure me into a trap. Where he used those rogues who attacked us to secretly inject us with wolfsbane, making us weak and powerless. Princess Sheila still came to the rescue, soon after Alfredo came to gloat while I was chained, and c

    Melissa’s POV One month later.The gown in front of me was sparkling, casting glittering lights from its reflection as the helpers helped me don it.“It’s pretty, mummy,” Daemon said with his brother running behind him.The helpers stood at the door, stopping them from reaching me for fear of them ruining it.“Let them in,” I said, waiting for my boys to run into my arms.They came in haste, but mounting their distance, even as curiosity pushed at them to touch my gown.“My wife is going to wear one like this when I get married,” Damian said as he caressed the gown.I threw him a smile, bending as low as my gown would allow me to touch their heads. “Of course she would,” I said as I pinched his cheeks.“Are you ready?”I raised my head to meet Aiden as he stood in front of the room, dressed elegantly, for the matter. “I am.” The answer was no surprise for me as I straightened my gown while Aiden held out his arm for me.“You wouldn’t want to keep the groom waiting for too long,” he s

    Gabriella’s POV I stood like a display doll in front of the entire Silverrose, as I listened to Alfredo give a glamorous speech to justify why he's an asshole.I can't wait for all this to be over so Alfredo can take me to see my voice. He has done all he can to break me, and since he wasn't succeeding, he stopped so low as using my boys, our kids to threaten me.‘I only want you Mel, we can make more babies,’ he said, holding a knife over Damian. My baby was so scared and called out to me for help but I couldn't do anything. Now in order to keep my kids alive, I'm subjecting myself to an eternity of hell on earth. But I can endure all that, as long as my boys are fine. The look on Farrell's face when I told him I wanted to be with Alfredo broke me every time I thought about it.Alfredo nudged me, which was his cue, telling me to smile. I forced a smile, as Alfredo took another gulp of wine.“You're mine forever now, Mel,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper as he brought out

    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

    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

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 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

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
