Stacie's POV At first, I thought it was Antoine, and I was already planning to start running away. "Stacie" the voice called out softly again. And this time around, I was sure it wasn't Antoine. I turned to look back, only to see the door staring right at my face. Right! I had shut the door before I heard the voice, so who could have called? "Stacie!" The voice called yet again, sounding louder. I looked around but didn't see anyone. Was I dreaming? Or was my mind playing a trick on me? I shrugged my shoulders. I must have misheard. Maybe I'm just stressed out from working too much. "No, you didn't mishear. I'm right here, but you can't see me with your naked eyes" "Who the hell are you?" I shouted. "Ssshhhh," it said. "You would attract other people's attention" "So what do you want from me?" I asked, trying to sound as calm as I could. "You need to find out who you really are" the voice whispered so close to my ear, and I shivered. Then I felt a swoosh of air as if someone
Stacie's POV I reached her and hugged her tightly. I held a handful of her hair and inhaled the scent. The smell----- It wasn't Laurel's smell. It didn't smell like her. I heard a scoff against my neck, and I immediately removed my arms from her sides and looked at her face. However, it wasn't Laurel, it was Maggie. That crazy lesbian bitch! It must have been how stressed I was that had gotten to my mind, to the extent of even blurring my vision and making me confuse her for Laurel. Or perhaps, it was because I've been thinking about laurel so much, these days. "You crazy bitch!" I shouted, giving her a hard push by the chest, that sent her staggering backward. She had an annoying smirk on her face. She was mocking me. "What did you put inside the drink the other day? Why did you even leave it on my table? Why did you try to poison me? What did you even do to me." I had so many questions for her, which she must answer. I've been thinking a lot about it lately, just that my chores
Carson's POV Right after the battle with the demon wolves, I couldn't get my mind off the beautiful lady that had saved me. Her face kept popping into my head, causing a lot of distraction for me. I tried so hard to focus my mind on reading the magazine that I was holding. I was trying hard to concentrate, but it wasn't working. I kept thinking back to the way the mysterious lady had saved my life, how bold and fearless she had looked. I knew I had felt something different in my entire body, immediately I had set my eyes on her. Something like a connection. I wished I could see her again. In fact, I wanted to see her again right here and now. I wanted to look into those beautiful and mesmerizing red eyes. But the greater reason why I wanted to see her was to ask her some questions, like why she had saved me the other day, and who she really is. I'm pretty sure that she wasn't an ordinary werewolf. She had had fire flaming from her mouth and nostrils, which makes me think she might
Antoine's POV I was running down deep into the woods, and a figure was coming behind me, chasing me in hot pursuit. I was fast, but he was faster. I looked back to check his face, and then I saw it was Lucifer, the leader of the demon wolves pack. "Why was he chasing me?" I wondered. He had a murderous look on his face, and he was holding a sword that had a shiny blade which suggested it would be very sharp. He was pointing it aggressively in front of him. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, but he was a good runner as if he had been specially trained to chase after people all his life. He was soon going to catch up with me, so I doubled my speed and he soon noticed and kind of tripled his own speed and he soon caught up with me, hitting my head violently with the handle of his sword. I felt a sharp pain course through my head, and I immediately stopped running, grasping my head with both of my hands and yelping in pain. He pushed me hard and I staggered forward, barely manag
Antoine’s POV "Shit!" I cursed inwardly. I don't like to feel this way. But why do I feel like I had just been caught in an act of doing something stupid? He came and stood beside me, grinning from ear to ear. God knows what's going on in his head. "You still haven't answered my question," he said. I had no interest in this kind of conversation, but it seemed like he knew about something. Could it be about the fact that Stacie was my mate? I hadn't told anyone, not even Damien. I didn't want to discourage them from finding their own mates. But I reckoned that Damien might still find out later. But not this soon. So I decided to brazen it out and force him to spill out what he knew. If he knew anything at all. "What makes you think I do?" I asked him. "Isn't it so obvious? You find her attractive, that was why you personally went to buy her and even sent me to drive her here. Plus you also made her your attending maid." "I've been wanting to ask you since. But I've been waiting
Antoine POV Stacie pressed the knife against my neck, and it cut slightly through my skin. I could feel the pain, but the funniest part of it was that I couldn't get my mind to think properly or even react. The impact of her soft breast pressing against my hard back was clouding my brain and overriding my senses. I opened my mouth to say something but then she pressed her breast further into my back and I closed my mouth back, swallowing hard in my throat. It was so confusing and it felt so hard, trying to utter a word. I didn't like the way I was feeling but I couldn't help it. Maybe being away from women, sex, and everything, all this time is taking hold of my body. Because, the last time I remembered, I used to have control over little things like this, over a little sexual desire, over a pesky libido. Even when most of the slaves had packed themselves to my chambers, naked and wet for me, I hadn't even touched them at all. Even with the fact that I had been drunk and everything,
Antoine's POV "A quick learner," I thought. Her movements were now much better than they had been some time ago, and I couldn't help but admire her once again. She came at my legs, now crouching down and circling around my legs, holding them, as if to forcefully pull me down. She would have done it successfully if she had been a little faster and more calculative. "Too slow," I told her, bending down slightly, and yanking her roughly with one hand from behind me, bringing her to the front. She gulped, staring up right at my face, fear evident in her eyes. It took all the self-control in me not to burst out laughing. I just so much enjoy seeing the look of fear in her eyes. She always looked cute the most then. And more beautiful too. I bent down to her level, having a menacing look on my face. I grabbed her chin roughly and lifted up her head slightly, causing her to shudder involuntarily, but she had already changed her facial expression. She was now staring hard, back at me, as i
Antoine's POV I hadn't expected Stacie's outburst. I was only asking a question, so why the flare-up? I ignored her words. "Just in case, you shouldn't slip it out to anyone, whosoever it is. Not by mistake, not by anything else." That got her on the edge again. "Why!? Why shouldn't I just go and shout out to everyone, in a loud and clear voice!" She said, then her voice softened as she said; "what is so bad about the fact that I'm your mate?" Her voice grew louder again. "Is there any reason I should not tell anyone?" "Just one. Because I'm asking you not to" Her expression hardened. "Not good enough." She started to turn away, but I caught her arm and pulled her into my embrace. "Stacie-----" Her body stiffened in my embrace, the gesture shocked even me. I quickly pulled out of the embrace, the moment my hand made contact with her arm. But I had felt the touch, light as it was and I could see how she had also responded to my touch in the softening of her eyes, in the slight int
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
