ANTONIE'S POVI tried my best to comfort Stacie even as I felt lost. The truth was, I had no idea what was going on or what we were going to do. But I can't break down and start getting nervous because it just means that she's going to break too. I can't watch that happen. I need to hold her up. "Don't worry. I know that you are a good she-wolf and that you are not going to hurt anyone on purpose. Don't worry. I am here. You have me" I said. Stacie nodded he'd head. I could tell that she was trying to calm herself down. Just then, Fawn walked into the room again. He gave me that same knowing smile and it was starting to unnerve me. I really don't like having to feel like this at all. Why does he keep looking at me as if he can see through all of that thoughts that I'm trying to hide. "Well, it's even more serious than I had expected. I don't know....how did you end up with such a mate Your Highness?" Fawn asked me. "Is it bad? Is it really bad? Am I going to do bad things with my
Antoine'S POVStacie frowned. I know that I had to be the one to answer this question. "Her mother....she's no longer around. She's dead" I said to Fawn. I hoped he would get the hint and won't ask any more about it. Fawn looked at the both of us. He seemed to get that something else had happened and thankfully, he did not ask anything about it at all. "That's sad. I'm sorry Miss Stacie. I can't tell anything since your mother is already dead but from your story, I think that she knew about it" Fawn said. "Since she knows about it as you've said, why didn't she tell me anything? Why did she keep the secret away from me? Was I supposed to live my entire life without knowing what exactly is going on with me?" Stacie asked. I know that there won't be a straight answer to this question since her mother is already dead. We will have to come to terms with the fact that she might never know. "I can't tell you anything for sure but I think that you know your mother must have loved you a
STACIE'S POVI was pacing up and down outside the door. I was so bored and I really wanted to know whatever it was that Fawn was talking about with Antoine. I just could not shake off the feeling that it was about me. I decided to listen in on the conversation. I know that this is wrong but I just can't control myself. Maybe ill be able to find out what exactly is making Antoine pull away from me whenever I feel like we are getting close to each other. “Yes, I am in love with her. She helped save my life. If it weren't for her, I would have already died when my father was killed. She was the one who saved me. We've been together since then" I heard Antoine say. I felt my heart sink to my stomach when I heard this. I know that there had to be a reason why he was pulling away from me and pushing me away like I had done something wrong to him. I just never expected that he has someone that he is in love with. I suspected something was up when he told me that he is still close to the
Antoine's POVThe next few days were quite rough for Stacie and me. We were still trying to come to terms with her power. It was scary since it was something that neither of us have had to deal with before but we were determined to do it together. Stacie insisted that I found someone else to train with her. She told me that she doesn't want to make the mistake of hurting me again. I told her that it was okay and that she doesn't have to worry but she refused. She said that she will never be able to concentrate if I was the one who trained with her. Not being able to concentrate will lead to mistakes and that isn't good because either I or her could get hurt in that case. I had to relent and let her start training with Nolan again. But there was no way I was going to let the both of them train without any supervision. For one thing, her powers are new and she knows next to nothing about them. Leaving her alone with Nolan isn't something that shouldn't happen. I should be there in
STACIE'S POV "We weren't flirting with each other. We were just training. You saw it for yourself" I said to Antoine. I really couldn't understand what came over him all of a sudden. He seemed so cool and normal. Besides, he even promised me that he will be here every step of the way as I tried to deal with my powers but with the way it's going...I don't know what I'm going to think anymore. Why will he accuse Nolan and I of flirting with each other when he's been here all the time and he's seen everything that we are doing? "I saw the both of you smiling and laughing with each other," Antoine said. He had an angry pout on his face. I almost laughed when I saw this. Something told me that he was jealous but I had also heard him tell Fawn that he was in love with the she-wolf who saved his life so there was no way that he can actually be in love with me. So I don't understand where this supposed jealousy came from. "Your Highness, I'm sorry if I did anything to annoy you," Nolan
Antoine’s POV Stacie and I walked back to her room after their training session. It was already quite late and I told her that I didn't want her to walk back alone. But this was just an excuse. I just wanted to go with her. Of course, she doesn't have to know this. We talked about their experiences so far. Stacie suddenly stopped and turned to look at me. She had a questioning look in her eyes. It really threw me off. "Let me ask you, that she-wolf, the one you said saved you....are you in a relationship with her?" Stacie asked. Something told me that Stacie already knows the answer to this question but I don't know for sure so I just decided to tell her the truth. There's no need to hide it since I'm sure that she's going to find out about it one day "Yeah, well, we are dating. So when she saved me, we became close. We were just friends. But then she told me one day that she was in love with me. I didn't know how to deal with it at first but then I just told myself that I alrea
Antoine'S POVI walked back to my room despondently. It did feel nice to let out all of my feelings to Stacie. At least I know that we are both attracted to each other. Although for me, it's not just a simple attraction. It's way deeper than that. But I can't jump into a relationship with her without first sorting out my issues with Sophia. Now that I know that the feelings I've had for Sophia all these years aren't love but rather it's just gratitude, I'll need to break up with her so that she can chase her own happiness. She doesn't need to be stuck with me. But I can't break up with her over the phone. Sophia deserves more than that. Especially after all that she's done for me. I should be kinder to her when I finally let her down and break her heart. I know that there's no way to avoid this. Someone will have to get hurt in all of this. And Sophia will be the one to get hurt. Because she's in love with me. I rubbed my temples, feeling frustrated. I should have thought about m
NOLAN'S POV I was training Stacie once again. I had a feeling that she wasn't paying attention and sincerely, neither was I. The both of us had stuff on our mind but I am a workaholic who always needs to get stuff done as quickly and as cleanly as possible so I decided to call her attention back to what we should have been doing from the start. "Hey, Stacie, you need to pay attention here. You know that the Alpha is going to be mad if he comes and sees that we aren't making any progress at all!" I said. Stacie frowned when I mentioned the Alpha. I know that there's something going on between the both of them. Something that Stacie doesn't want me to know, at least not yet. The first time, I actually thought that she was the mistress of the Alpha. But after spending time with her, I know already that she isn't that kind of wolf. She won't do anything like that. Especially since the Alpha already has a girlfriend. "You know what Nolan? Let's just forget about this training for
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
