ETHAN'S POVI looked at the maid called Stacie. No matter how much I looked at her, she matched the definition of the she-wolf that I was looking for. She matched the definition of the former princess. But she said that she's not. She even told me how her parents had sold her off. There was no reason to doubt the story. I know that there are some packs that are so poor that the wolves have to resort to doing stuff like this just to get enough food on the table for them. I know that our pack is going to become like that soon if my father doesn't stop what he's doing. But that is just beside the point. Although this she-wolf's story made sense, I just can't shake off the thought that she's lying. But here's the thing she and Alpha Antoine don't have any reason to lie to me. What will they get from it? Nothing. Nothing at all. So why should they go all the way to lie to me? It doesn't make any sense at all!But my heart still can't shake off the thought that she's lying. She knows me
ETHAN'S POVThe only thing that I can do is to pack back for him. Which I'm going to do. Starting with the princess" I said. I watched Alpha Antoine's face. The look on his face did not change at all. He was still looking at me blankly. I could not get anything out of him so I turned to Stacie. She still had the same stoic look on her face. A few seconds later, Stacie cleared her throat. "Well Sir, I really am not the person that you are looking for. It would be great if I were a princess, at least it would mean that my entire life hadn't been spent in sorrow. But I am not a princess. I am just another ordinary she-wolf with poor parents. If Alpha Antoine didn't buy me, I would have been tortured to death so I'm grateful to him because it's because of him that I have a good life right now. Anyway, thank you for your concern but I'm not the she-wolf that you are looking for" Stacie said me. I frowned because I did not believe her words at all. I know that she's the one. She's just t
ETHAN'S POV"strong. But for your sake, I'm going to give your father a chance" I didn't know what to say to this. Alpha Antoine and I hadn't even known each for that long. We've just met today but he's going to give my father who he has already admitted he hates a chance because of me? This did not just seem to add up to me but I don't have a choice. Since he wants to give me a chance, I'll just have to take it just then. This will help me find out what Stacie is trying to hide from me. Why doesn't she want to know who she is? What is going on? "Oh, thank you very much," I said. I wanted to say something in favor of my father but I realized that I didn't even know what I'm supposed to say. What should I say? Should I say that my father isn't all that of a bad man even though he has ruined the life of an entire life? I know that it's a pathetic lie and I can't even bring myself to say it at all. "But you can't leave yet. I'll have to convince the elders. Although I am the Alpha
ANTOINE'S POV"Don't worry. I can show you around. Although I haven't been here for a long time but I'm sure that the both of us are not going to get lost. We can figure it out together" I heard Stacie say. I glared angrily at her. Can't she tell that I was trying to stop her from spending any more time with Ethan than was necessary? I can see the way he was looking at Stacie. All those talks about wanting to help Stacie if she is the princess of his pack because his father killed her parents are all bullshit. He is definitely inferred in her and he is just looking for excuses to spend more time with her. Stacie giving him a tour will just be giving him the opportunity to do whatever he wants with her. I'm not going to stand for that. This has to end now. "No Stacie. Forget about it. You are my personal maid and you don't have to give anyone a tour. I'm sure that someone else can do it" I said. I can't stand the thought of Stacie spending time with a wolf who is obviously interes
ETHAN'S POVImmediately I stepped out of the meeting room, some guards came to me and took me to the room that I'll be staying in for the few days that I'm going to spend here. I immediately took a bath when I reached the room. It was really luxurious. Extremely luxurious for a guest room. I have to admit that this pack is a whole lot better than our pack back at home. Immediately after I had taken a bath there was a knock on my door. I went to open it and I saw two of the guards that my dad had sent after me looking at me. I held back my irritation and let them enter the room. They looked around the room, I saw that they were taking everything in. Yeah, they should take it all in and go tell their boss my father how other people are living in their packs. It's not all about oppressing his subjects. He can also be a good leader if he puts his heart into it! Since he killed an entire family to take over the pack, he should not be such a tyrant! But these are words that I won't e
STACIE'S POVThe next morning, I was still in bed when someone started knocking on my door. I didn't want to pay any attention to it but the knocks just won't go away. I got up and walked to the door. I opened it. It was the maid who had come to call me yesterday. I remembered that Riley was her name.I drowned. I could see that she still bore the same animosity for me as yesterday. I rolled my eyes. Does she think that doing this to me will change anything? She can't possibly be that naive right? "Hello, Riley. What can I do to help you today?" I asked. I didn't bother to be polite. There's no need for anyone to be polite to she-wolves like Riley. I know her type. They blame anyone who's doing better than them for their misfortune. I don't know the circumstances that led her to become a maid but I know for sure that it isn't my fault. And there's no reason for her to take out her anger on me. I won't accept it. "It's so late and yet you are still in bed. Is this how you act ev
STACIE'S POVRiley glared at me angrily. I could tell that she had half a mind to bite off my head right now but I didn't care. She had it coming. Does she think that I'm just going to ignore her after she blatantly threatened me? What the heck does she take for me? "You are....you are shameless! Completely shameless!" Riley said. "How am I shameless? You accused me of wanting to get hooked the Alpha and be the Luna but I explained to you that I had no intentions of doing that. It's just too much work for me. How am I the horrible person?" I asked. The best way to deal with people like her is to give them a dose of their own medicine. Just because I've ignored her since yesterday doesn't mean that she can walk all over me. Riley snorted. "Even if you want to be the Luna, there's no way in hell you'll actually get it! Everyone knows that the Alpha has a girlfriend who's he in love with! She's going to show up soon and she'll kick you out of here! We won't need to see your disgusti
STACIE'S POVI looked blankly at Antoine, I hate the fact that he's right. On top of being strong, Beta Daniel is also a very smart wolf. I'm sure that he already knows the kind of wolf his son is and how he'll try to save me if he has the chance. "Do you get what I mean now Stacie? Don't get your hopes up and think that he will be able to save you. That won't happen. He can't save you. The both of you will only end up in some deep trouble" Antoine said.I frowned. "What do you think of me? Do you really think that I am going to go with him? I was just pointing out that he had good intentions!" I said to Antoine. "Oh...is that so? I am really sorry it's just that yesterday.... yesterday you got mad at me when I told you that you should not give him a tour and I just thought that....." I didn't let Antoine finish those words. I felt like I was definitely going to lose my temper for good if I heard him continue to talk like that to me. "What do you take me for Antoine? You've helped
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
