ETHAN'S POVStacie and I strolled down the market in the pack. I was starting to see that she really wasn't lying to me when she told me that she doesn't know anywhere in this pack. She constantly had to ask directions from some werewolves that we passed so we will not get lost. I don't know what to feel about that. I mean, I feel like I'm being mean for forcing her to do this with me when she doesn't even know the place well but I also felt happy because it meant that I'll be spending time with her no matter how little it is. We decided to stop at a restaurant and have lunch before we continued with our exploring for that day.We sat facing each other as we waited for our meal. The more I looked at her, the more I felt that she is the princess. I mean, she doesn't know anywhere and anything about the pack because she's only been here for a few days. She seemed so close to the Alpha and that story of her own parents selling her away...it just did not add up to me at all. I know tha
ANTOINE'S POV I paced around Stacie's room, waiting for her to come back home. I know that it's crazy for me to even think about doing something like this but I really can't help myself at all. I want to see her...and since I know that she will be spending time with Ethan, I was even more angry. I know that this is all for our plan and that she needs to get closer to him if she wants to get any closer to his father but I really just can't help myself at all. I was just...I felt like I was losing my mind. Just then, I heard some shuffling of feet outside the door. Stacie had arrived. But it seemed as if there was someone else with her there. I wondered who it was. I soon got the answer to that. *I think that you should go back, Ethan. You already walked me here" Stacie. "Please remember what I told you. Let me help you. I really do want to help you. You are....you are the princess. I know that. I know that my father has done a lot to hurt you and I really want to make up for
STACIE'S POV I was more than surprised when I entered my room and saw Antoine waiting for me there. I didn't know what to feel when I saw him. I wanted to feel happy that he took the time out to come to see me here. But I was also feeling down because of what Riley told me earlier in the day. I just couldn't shake off the thought that something was wrong somewhere. Antoine's girlfriend doesn't seem like such an ordinary she-wolf. From the stories that Antoine has told me of her, she's not a she-wolf who will be so close to other wolves who work for her. So how come Riley is so close to her? What's going on? I know that I can't keep this curiosity to myself anymore. I have to know what's going on. So I asked Antoine. "Hey Antoine, can I ask you something about Sophia?" I asked him. He had a big smile on his face, a smile that told me that he was willing to do anything for me...my heart skipped a beat. Should I really believe him? There's no keeping my heart away from him an
ANTONIE'S POV I stood outside of Stacie's room thinking about what she said. Does Sophia really have a friend or rather maybe a spy in the palace? Just what is she keeping from me? It seems that I don't know all there is to know about Sophia at all. I turned round to find a maid looking at me puzzledly. I remember that I have seen this maid several times around the palace but I don't pay attention to her. I don't even know her name. She gave me a questioning look. I soon realized why she was looking at me like that. I was standing in front of Stacie's room looking like I was about to rush in and do something to her. Of course, it will leave anyone to think of the worst of the situation. I rubbed the tip of my nose. I didn't want to get Stacie in trouble with other maids. She already told me that there's a maid who suspects us. I don't want her to be on bad terms with anyone. That was far from it. In fact, I want to make sure that she doesn't get in trouble. "What....what are
ANTOINE'S POV "You don't know but I hate injustice the most. I can't stand seeing people bullied because they aren't as strong or as powerful as the next person. You've been picking on Stacie because you don't like her right?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer to that. "Your... your Highness!" The maid looked at me with fear in her eyes. I bet she was wondering how I knew about it. "What? Are you wondering how I knew what you are doing? I have my ways of course. But you've been picking on Stacie for some time now. Do you think that you can do whatever you want just because no one is here?" I asked her angrily. If she's really a spy that Sophia placed in the palace to watch everything that I do then I need to make sure to get rid of her as soon as possible. I can't have her staying here when she's only going to be causing problems for me. "No sir...I really don't know what you are talking about Your Highness!" She said. "You don't know what I'm talking about? Ar
ANTOINE'S POV Her begging was pitiful but it did nothing to me because I know that she is just begging because she doesn't want to work there. She isn't sorry for the words she said at all. She is just sorry that she's going to be doing really hard work from now on. "There's no need for you to beg me. That will be your punishment. You should have thought about it before you decided to run your mouth the way you did. Do you seriously think that you just can say whatever it is that you want and get away with it?" I asked her. She opened her mouth to say something but then it was as if she knew in her heart that her begging wasn't going to do anything to me. "Pack your backs and go work in the laundry. And you had better not bother Stacie before you leave. If I find out that you went to her and accused her of what happened to you, I'm going to make your life hell. Believe me when I tell you that I have a lot of ways to make sure that your life becomes a living hell! Don't even test
SOPHIA'S POV"Hey Sophia, I just wanted to ask you something. Please tell me the truth. Are you close with anyone from the palace ?" my heart skipped a beat when I heard this. I thought that I had done what I did discreetly and that there was no way Antoine will ever find out about it. It seems that I was wrong ...Did he find Riley? Did she tell him anything? Or maybe it's that maid who Riley told me is close to him? I shook my head as all kinds of thoughts started to enter my mind. I can't lose the wolf that I love....the wolf that I've been with for the greater part of my life to someone who doesn't deserve him. That can't happen. I have to do something and I have to do something quickly. "I don't know what you are talking about Antoine. Why will I be close to anyone from the Palace? You are not suspecting me for anything right?" I asked, trying my best to sound as innocent as possible. I know that Antoine always likes it when I sound innocent. I plan on using just that to my ad
ETHAN'S POV I went back to my room in high spirits. I was in a good mood. Spending time with Stacie always does this to me. Putting me in a good mood. The both of us have talked today and I felt that we have gotten a lot closer. I opened up to her more than I had ever done in my life before. She now knows how I got to know the princess and why I am so determined to find her. I know that she thinks that I just see the princess in her and that is why I like her but that's not the truth. I still believe that Stacie is the princess but even if she's not the princess, it's not going to affect the feelings that I have for her at all. I've fallen in love with Stacie. Not the princess. I've fallen in love with the Stacie who's brave and confident and who isn't afraid to speak her mind to anyone, including the Alpha. I wanted to go to bed as soon as possible. Maybe I'll see Stacie in my dreams tonight. All my happiness evaporated however when I entered the guest room that I was living
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
