Ethan's POV "Ethan, I think that you should start planning to go back now. I'm not going to help your father" Alpha Antoine said. My heart sank to my chest when I heard this. It's not that I cared about the fact that Alpha Antoine is not going to help my father. I never cared about him anyway. I know that Alpha Antoine is not going to help from the beginning. I was already prepared for all of that. But it's just that if I go back now, I won't be meeting Stacie anymore. Rather than proving that she's the princess, I want to see her more. I don't want to stop seeing her. The fact that I can see her every day makes me happy. I know that I have already fallen in love with her. In fact, I think that I fell in love with her from the first time that I saw her face. "Are you really not going to consider it? I know that my father is a horrible wolf but still....." "Sincerely speaking Ethan, you and I know that you do not care about your father at all. Why are you pretending to care
ETHAN'S POV "I've already been polite by not throwing you in the dungeon for showing interest in my mate in front of me! So you should get lost now!" Alpha Antoine's words kept ringing again and again in my head. Mate... Stacie is his mate....why didn't I know this before? No! Stacie and Alpha Antoine are the ones who kept it away from me on purpose! Why didn't she tell me when I was chasing after her? Why did she let me make a fool of myself? Just what is going on?!. "She's your ....." I didn't finish the sentence. "Yes, she's my mate. We didn't tell anyone else about it because we didn't start off on the right foot. I even almost rejected her as my mate because I didn't want a mate when I found her but well, here we are. She's my mate and we are in love with each other. If you know what's good for you, stay the heck away from her. Don't get yourself into a mess that you can't fix at all!" Alpha Antoine said. "No...there's no way this is true at all...why didn't she tell me
STACIE'S POV I was training with Nolan. I wondered why Antoine had told Ethan that I was training with Nolan. He's going to be suspicious that an Alpha is so nice to a maid. After the talk that I had with Antoine last night, I knew that he won't be letting Ethan go easily. He will definitely find a way to put him in his place. I just wondered how far he'll go to get what he wants. Just then, Ethan walked over to me. He looked really mad. Like I had done something wrong to him. I wondered what I had done that made him so mad. I asked him why he was here and he told me that he had finished talking to Antoine. He then grabbed my hand and tried to pull me away but Nolan didn't let him do that. He stood in front of me. "Where do you think you are going with her?" Nolan asked. "It's none of your business! The both of us need to talk. Stacie needs to give me an explanation" Ethan said. I had a bad feeling about this. It feels like he had figured out something that he's not supp
Stacie's POV "Shut up! You don't know anything! I just want to help the princess! My father is going to kill her! I want to save her life! I am the only one who can help her now!" Ethan said. I shook my head. I can see now that Ethan has a terrible case of savior mentality. He thinks that he can help the princess and he will stop at nothing even though she doesn't need his help. He just doesn't seem to see what's in front of him. *I don't think that you are in a position to help anyone, Ethan. You know that you are not. If you find her, you can't protect her from your father. Your father is going to kill her and there's nothing that you can do about it then. You really need to stop all of this before it gets out of hand!" I said "And I said that you don't know anything! This is why you don't want me right? Because you think that you can be with someone who can save you? Do you think that he will come to your rescue? That is why you did not tell me that you are his mate!" Ethan
ANTOINE'S POVI pulled Stacie to myself. "Stacie, I really love you. I will never let anyone come close to you and hurt you. I also won't let anyone steal you away!" She smiled. I know that she did not believe me fully. I was prepared to spend my time convincing her that the feelings I had for her are real. I really do love her. And that's the truth. I just can't shake off the feeling that I'm madly in love with her. "I don't know....""You just need to believe in the feelings that I have for you. I really do love you, Stacie. Please give me some time" I said. I just need to wait for Sophia to come back so that I can break off my relationship with her. I've been lying to myself for too long, telling myself that I love her. I need to rectify this. .....A few days passed since I had that conversation with Stacie. Sophia had told me that she would be back in a few days and I was very excited to see her. Not because I missed her or anything like that. But because I would finally get
ANTOINE'S POV "Wait....don't tell me that there's someone else?" Sophia asked me. She had her hands on her hips as she glared at me. I did not try to deny it. It's the truth. I found my mate and fell in love with her. I know that I am a bastard for this but I really could not help myself at all. I wish that there was a way that I can make things easier for Sophia but I know that there isn't. She really did love me. There was no way to get rid of the pain that she was feeling. I did not deny it but I did not give an answer either. I knew that my silence was able to tell her the truth. Sophia suddenly burst into laughter. "Tell Me that this is a joke, Antoine. Tell me that all of this is a bad joke that I'm going to wake up from. There's no way this is the truth! Tell me that you were just joking! We....we are in love! Everything was fine before I left!" Sophia said. I shook my head. Things weren't fine before she left. I just wasn't clear about what I wanted. So I strung her
STACIE'S POVI had just finished training for the day and I was on my way back to my room. Just at the front of my door, someone was waiting for me. Someone who I had not expected to see at all. Ethan. I know that Ethan is still in the palace although I had not seen him for a few days. According to what Grace told me, he is preparing to leave now because Antoine told him that he won't be helping his father. I was surprised to see him obviously waiting for me. I thought that he will never want to talk to me again with the way things went down the last time that the both of us talked. "What are you doing here?" I asked him. "Why? You don't want to see me anymore? Is that what Antoine told you? Is he even forbidding you from seeing people?" He asked me in a taunting voice. I shook my head. I did not know why I thought of Ethan as a good man. I even started to feel sorry for him because I thought that he was pitiful. It turns out that I was wrong. He is just another man who doesn't
ANTOINE'S POVI shook my head. "I did not lie to you on purpose at all. I didn't know what I was feeling for you then and I just interpreted it as love. I'm really sorry but please don't think that I did it on purpose!. "Really? Then tell me why the heck you made me beeline that you were in love with me! Tell me! You told me that you loved me and now you're in love with someone else? Does it all make sense to you? Am I not beautiful enough? Is that why you left me?" Sophia asked me. I winced when she asked me this. She really can't think so lowly of me right? I know that I am a terrible person to her but I am not so superficial as to leave her because of her looks. It's simply because I don't love her. I've never loved her. "You really can't think that I am so superficial right? You know that I am not like that. I just don't love you. I never did. I did not know what love was before this. You saved my life and showed interest in me. I did not want to be ungrateful so I dated you, t
ANTOINE'S POV"Sophia and Ethan are dead? Are you sure of that?". I asked Nolan. He nodded his head. "yes. From now on, we don't have to worry about them. They won't be bothering you anymore. Now we just have to focus on you and Stacie. You know that she's pregnant right now and she can't be agitated for any reason at all" Nolan told me. I nodded my head. "Yes. But now is not the time to relax. We need to completely get rid of Daniel before I can be rest assured that it's completely over. Beta Daniel will definitely not let it go since I have killed his son. He will want to get revenge on me but I have to beat him at his game and make sure that he's dead before I can enjoy myself with Stacie " I said to Nolan. "Do you know who you are going to make the Alpha if Daniel is dead? It's not like we can leave the pack unattended right? We need to place someone there so that the pack won't be thrown into chaos " Nolan told me. I nodded my head because I know that he is right. We need to
DANIEL'S POVI paced up and down in the throne room. Ethan has been gone for a few days and I haven't heard anything from him yet. I was really worried about him. I know that he won't be able to defeat Alpha Antoine. All that I wanted was for my son to come back here in one piece. That is the only thing that I need from him. One of the guards walked inside and bowed in front of me. I waved my hands. I don't need him to bow to me. All that I need is for them to find my son and bring him back to me. That is the only thing that I want right now. "What is going on? Did you find out anything about Ethan?. Do you know where he could be right now?" I immediately started to question him. "We have no news from Ethan just yet but someone told us that the Alpha had already completed his mating ceremony a few days ago. Stacie is now the Luna of the pack" the guard told me. My heart sank to my chest when I heard this. The plan was for Ethan to kill them at the ceremony. The fact that the cere
ETHAN'S POVDo you think that you'll get away with it again?" He asked me. "What are you going to do to me?"."What do you think? Of course, I'll kill you!" I was so scared that I wanted to throw up. I don't want to die. I don't want to die just yet. I want to live. At that moment, I saw my life flash past my eyes. I had a good life before I met Stacie. Even if I did not like what my father did to me, at least I was safe. There was no threat to my life. But ever since I met Stacie, it's as if things went downhill for me. All that I want is to stay alive right now. I regret a lot of things. I should not have kidnapped her. I should not have taken her against her will and brought her to my pack. I should not have come back here just because I found out that she lied to me and I want to kill her. I should not have done all of those things. I suddenly glared at Stacie. It was as if I lost all of the love that I felt for her immediately. The only thing that I could feel for her was
Ethan's POVI need to show her what it means to mess with me! "I am not the one who's going to die Stacie. You are the one who's going to die! What do you think I came here for? Do you think that I will still be so blindly in love with you that I won't be able to tell you that you're a horrible person who deserves to die?" I asked her.She laughed in my face. "You want to kill me? Ethan, you really think that you can kill me?" She asked me in a mocking manner. Where did she get all of this confidence from? What the heck is going on with her? I decided not to waste words with her. I am done talking to her. I took out the dagger I hid in my body and rushed to stab her with it. I was just inches away from her body when I felt as if there was an invincible power pushing me away from her. No matter how hard I tried, I could not move...I was stuck there. "What....what is going on?" I caught sight of the smug smile that Stacie had on her face. "I told you. You can't touch me!" She sai
ETHAN'S POV"What do you mean by that? Aren't you happy to see me?" I asked her with a smile on my face. "I said what are you doing here and how did you even get in here without anyone seeing you?" Stacie asked me..she was looking at me as if I am her worst enemy in the whole wide world. She wasn't like this before I took her away from me. At least then she was still nice to me. When did it all change? When did I become someone that she can't even stand? "The same way I took you away from here without anyone finding out. Back then, they didn't care about you so I took you away easily. Now, they still don't care about you and I am going to do whatever it is that I want with you! Why are you like this Stacie? If only you had come with me... if only you had stayed put then this won't have been happening right now! You know that I love you and that I am willing to do anything and everything for you! So why did you betray me?! Why did you throw away all of my feelings?! I was willing to
ETHAN'S POVI haven't heard of the Alpha going against the elders of the pack like this before. Do you think it's okay for me to come with you?" The bartender gave me a weary look. I know that he doesn't trust me completely. After all, he doesn't know me and he doesn't know who I am so it's understandable that he doesn't trust me at all. But I am going to convince him to take me into the palace with him. "Come on. I really haven't seen something like this in my life before. An Alpha going against all of his elders just to make the she-wolf that he likes his Luna? It must be fascinating!" I said to him. The bartender nodded his head. "Yes. You are right. It's fascinating. That is why all of us are going to see it. " He told me. "So please let me tag along with you. Don't worry. I'll be sure not to get you in trouble. As soon as I take a look at her face, I'll leave the palace. Do this for me okay?" I asked him He still seemed a bit hesitant. I suddenly had an idea. I took out some
ETHAN'S POV I was sitting in a bar. I had spent the entire day, walking through the pack and trying to figure out a way to enter the palace without getting caught by the Alpha. The security measures in the palace have increased since the last time that I was here. But I already expected this. After all, I did kidnap Stacie and take her away under everyone's noses. It's clear that the Alpha is going to want to protect her even more. I'd be suspicious if the palace wasn't guarded. I would think that they are setting up a trap for me. But as it is, there's no way they can know that I am here. I did a good job disguising myself when I came here after all. I was still lost in the thoughts of how I am going to torture Alpha Antoine and Stacie when the bartender walked over to me. "Hello, Sir. I am really sorry but you'll have to leave. We are closing up now " he said to me. I turned to glare at him it's not even twelve yet so why the heck are there closing up so soon? "What
SOPHIA'S POV The next morning, I immediately got dressed and left the palace. Alpha Daniel did not even ask me where I was going when I left. I think that he was all too happy to see me go. As he said, I am one of the reasons why his son decided to put his life in danger and go back to Alpha Antoine's pack just to get revenge. I know that I had indeed manipulated him into doing back because I want him to take revenge on Stacie for me but he won't have done it if he didn't want revenge too. He wanted to get back at her for the so-called humiliation that she gave to him so even if I didn't say anything, he still would have done something. Anyway, it no longer has anything to do with me. If he can really kill Stacie, that will be best for me because it will mean that although I didn't get the Alpha, she can't get him either. But if he doesn't manage to kill her then, he'd be the one to die and I seriously don't care at all. It's none of my business. All that I care about i
CIARA'S POV I was really worried when Sophia ended the call and told me that she was going to think about it. I thought that she had figured out that I had sold her off to the Alpha and that she was not going to show up. Sophia has always been very smart anyway so it won't be extremely hard for her to figure it out. In fact, the only thing I am counting on now is the friendship that we have with each other. If she really sees me as a friend then she won't suspect me so easily right? I was still worried about this when my phone rang again. I picked it up and saw that it was Sophia. I answered it immediately. "Fine. Ciara. Let's leave. where do you want to meet me? You are right. I need to get out of this place. And you need to get out too or else the Alpha is going to come for you sooner or later" Sophia said. I was so happy that she bought my explanation. Everything is going as planned soon, I'd be far away from this pack. As for Sophia....well, I guess that she'd be de
