Becoming The Alpha's Lover 134
ARABELLA POVThe more my mind punched around the images of yesterday over and over again, my disappointment in Rhys grew. After all these years, he still could not save another lady in distress. He still could not save his lover. He had stood before his pack members, spreading his aura on them yet still doing their bidding. I expected him to take control of the situation, not fizzle down like an idiot.It’s not like you haven’t condemned me to die before...Okay, I shouldn’t have said such words to him. That was just plain unreasonable and very telling. What if he discovers who I am from that sentence alone? Rhys was pretty smart when he wanted to be. I groaned and sat on the cold hard floor. What did it matter if he discovered me, anyways? He had put me in here. He stood in front of the crowd and told them to calm down, and that he can’t just hand me over to them. He would convict me, he promised them. He would investigate the matter and give them the justice they so rightfully deser

ARABELLA POVWhen he left, my heart started to press into itself. I’ve experienced this pain before, but now it seems to come in two-fold force. I felt pain, betrayal, anger. I didn’t even register Jack’s question until he asked me a second time.‘Did you tell him that we aren’t cousins, Arabella? Did you tell him?”I raised my eyes to meet him. Here he was, outside the bars of a cell that Rhys dumped me in. Rhys, who was stupid enough to cast me aside a second time. Rhys, who claimed to have loved me a thousand times but couldn’t even fight for our love. To say that I was disappointed was an understatement.“Arabella?”I shook my head and focused my thoughts on Jack. Jack was calm and sweet. He wouldn’t do anything to consciously hurt me. He was always there, acting nice and sweet and just being generally available for me. I tried to think about his question again so I could give an answer.“Yes,” I said.“You told him we were cousins?”“Yes.” I wanted to end it there, but had to c
Becoming The Alpha's Lover Tell her
JACK POV It was silly to over think about Arabella, but I just couldn’t help it. As I drove out of the detention center premises, thoughts nagged in my head. There were questions that I didn’t ask her; questions that still revolved round my initial question.Do you love him?She said no. She swore that what she had for him was pure hate, but I found that hard to believe. This was the father of her kids, after all. This was the man she had come back for, just to carry out her revenge. She probably slept with him too in order to convince him that they were together. Was it possible that feelings would not have bred with the fusion of old and new memories? Her assurance was nice and sweet for sure, but I just didn’t buy it.I picked up my phone and dialed Jenny’s number. She picked up immediately, as though she had been waiting for the call.“Jeez Jack, I’ve been trying to reach you for ages!”I groaned, interrupting her. It was better to ask my questions before she would get carried aw

RHYS POVI stared into nothing nowadays. Of all discoveries I could have made, Emma’s was the most shocking. What would I call her now? Emma? Arabella? What the fuck would I refer her as to now?Why was she back? How did she change so much? How didn’t I recognize her? And those children; those poor beautiful souls. Not knowing that they were mine would forever gnaw on me. That they had passed me and spoken to me severally and I never knew would haunt me. That it took an intense jealousy and dislike of Jack before I moved into the action of checking for DNA tests even felt horrible. I felt worse than I’d felt in a long while. At first I wanted to blame her, but then I couldn’t. She was back from the dead and that’s all that mattered.Jack couldn’t even hide the truth. It was written all over his face, so boldly that I knew in a second. He could have hidden it better, even though I already knew. He could have pretended, acted like he never knew her true identity. Only then would my hate

RHYS POVI was very late, which was my intention. I wanted her to wait and feel what it was like to wait for the unknown. I had at least four guards with me when I alighted from my car. She was in a vast, long forest that had a cabin nearby. I already had some guards to scout the place and report back to me if they noticed anything unusual. Lily was the bud you should never trust, no matter how innocent looking she was. She was leaning against a tree, and when I arrived, she straightened and smoothened her hair back from her face. She started to say something, but then shut up. I imagine that the look on my face must be so uninviting that it scared her for a bit there. That was what I wanted. She needed to understand that I wasn’t the laid back alpha she always knew. The guards spread around me to protect me from unforeseen dangers, and with Lily, it was bound to happen, especially since she was affiliated with Arabella. “This is a weird place for a meeting,” I said to her.She nodde

MIA POVI left my bedroom and sat down at the lounge, looking out into the forest through the glass window. This was where it usually sat when I wanted to worry obsessively about something. I usually worry the most about Rhys, just like I am doing right now.I didn’t trust Jack’s visit, especially when Rhys was in a sour mood after that. I mean, sure, he wasn’t in a good mood the past few days, but Jack’s visit sort of escalated the whole thing. I didn’t like it one bit, and it even felt like he was speaking in code to me, asking if I had any secrets I wanted to reveal.What nonsense…I wanted to do something, yet I felt so helpless. There was this stinking feeling within me that things would go south if I didn’t react quickly. And by reacting quickly, I needed to—A hand covered my eyes. It was big and broad, completely blinding me. His scent drifted towards me, a scent I would forever recognize. A low humming started within me but I pushed it down, far below so it would not see the

ARABELLA POVIt was judgment day. It felt weird thinking about it that way but I couldn’t help it. An hour ago, a few guards had practically pushed me out of the cell to an upturned stage. It was the meeting place of the townsmen and women, come to decide my fate. Rhys looked at me once, and then away. He refused to meet my eyes after that, which was embarrassing to me. I knew if asked him to leave and never come back, but to see that he was actually keeping to it was depressing.The place was stacked with people, including the family of the deceased. Mia was sitting at the front row so she could snap support to her husband, even though the said husband was doing everything else but attending to her returning her waves. “Take her out!” Someone in the crowds screamed. “Take her out now!”They had meant to kill me. They would have done it if Rhys was not there. His presence softened the blow. They can’t attack me straight up when their Alpha was there, so they settled for screaming at
Becoming The Alpha's Lover 141
RHYS POV I waited until the crowd had dispersed before I turned to Arabella… Emma… whatever her name was. It confused me to the core, how so easily I could place her. If only she had not lied from the very beginning… if only she had not revealed her true identity to me even after lying…. If only she could cover her tracks well so I wouldn’t discover this deceit. Nevertheless, I couldn’t very well leave her after the statement she made earlier. She had been looking directly at Mia when she spoke about framing her for murder. “I’ll see the prisoner back. You stay here and oversee the rest,” I said to the soldiers as I led Arabella back to the detention center. She followed me silently. When we got to the detention center, I stopped in front of the cell so she wouldn’t go right in “We need to talk,” I said to her. She looked up with a dry smile. “What do you want to talk about, Alpha Rhys?” I ignored her jab and continued anyway. “Back at the restaurant when we saw that wolf, you
