CHAPTER 69MONTANA'S POV Ari stepped out from where she was standing. I could not see her at first, but now I saw her clearly.I gasped softly, "Aria…how could you?""It was for the best, Montana," she said, "I could not let you wake her up or leave this place."I searched Aria's face, maybe I will see some hurt or regret for betraying me like this, but there was none."So all this time you-", my words cut off because it was so difficult to make out what to say, "All this time you let me believe you were on my side?""Look, it is over, okay? So stupid, trying to emotionally blackmail me. We both will be dead if not for me," Aria said."You sold me out, you bitch", I snarled. How could she? I thought she was my friend? I trusted her."That is enough", Lady Scar ordered, "you will be severely punished Montana and guess what? Vito will be the one to do that, do whatever he wants with you."I looked at Vito, the lust still clear in his eyes, like he has been in
CHAPTER 70MONTANA'S POV I startled myself and turned to Aunt Calista. Well, that was unexpected and expected at the same time."Let us go," She said as we both left the place. We were finally free and that Lady Scar was dead.All the while as I took my Aunt Calista back to my hotel. Getting a cab and all that, I kept thinking back to Aria and her betrayal.Why would she even do a thing like that? I thought we were in this together?I was so hurt by it all. Months together, months of trust and friendship, and still, she had the heart to betray me and even try to use her magic badly on me.Some people are just not it.I sighed.Aunt Calista patted my thighs, "Sometimes we have to be careful of the people we trust and call friends. I am not saying it is bad to trust, but just be careful."I rested back on the cab sit and nodded, agreeing with Aunt Calista.Thank God I had paid for extra months, unless my bags would have been thrown out, I guess."Things have re
CHAPTER 71MONTANA'S POVMy real name was actually Montana Monteforte and everyone thought that day was the end of The Monteforte family but no…It was just the beginning. Cause the heir to the throne is alive."The Blue Moon Pack", Aunt Calista told me. The pack that bad destroyed my family, was the Blue Moon Pack.I covered my mouth, my eyes getting filled with water as the rang again and again and again in my head, "Is that how the woman who I thought was my mother, was able to save me?""Yes, she had heard something about am attack, and so she came to warn us, but it was too late", Aunt Calista explained, "Your mother had given her to you, making her swear to protect you."I cannot believe that- Oh, Goddess! I wiped my eyes.This pack dealt with me, they caused me lots of pain, and it comes out that they have even done worse before.Pain that still haunts me until today. How evil can they be, killing women, men, children, babies, HOW EVIL CAN THEY BEEEE??
CHAPTER 72ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVToday, I actually ended my alliance with the Blue Moon Pack. It was too much, I could not tolerate their nonsense anymore and the fact that they needed me more than I even needed them.Point of correction, I did not even need them, but still, they do not know how to respect themselves. Just a waste!Plus, everything they had done to Montana and my kids, added up, angering me. You know I almost ripped out Alpha Luke's throat today, Goddess save him. Sean saved me, when he put his hand on my shoulder, "Relax."I gave one last smile at Luke before we left. The smile I gave him was surely a message, and I hope he got the message loud and clear.Something was just fishy about them and the way they work, getting to know more about their pack, I just could not and coupled with the way they treated Montana and our kids.Anytime I remember that, I just feel like giving them a beating, but maybe not right now."I have always wondered when
CHAPTER 73ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVAs we got to the bar, the dim lighting and the lively chatter filled the space. It has indeed been a while.Sean and I greeted a few people with a nod of our head as we spotted a spot at that bar, a corner where we could also observe the crowd and relax.We ordered our drinks, classical cocktail or bold whiskey, engaged in a brief banter with the bartender, laughing and all that.Sean and I talked about different things. At a point I scanned the room, we engaged with others in little chats."To friendship", Sean and I raised our glasses to a toast, celebrating our bond which have lasted since we were kids until now and which will continue to last and grow stronger.We vibed as the music played. Good thing the bar played something nice.While Sean and I enjoyed the evening, the air filled with laughter and talks, different accents even. A lady walked up to us, "Evening Gentlemen.""Evening", Sean and I greeted her back. I thought s
CHAPTER 74MONTANA'S POVI let go of Finn's hand after realizing that we had not broken off the handshake when we introduced ourselves to each other, "Dinner sounds lovely.""Great", he smiled, he did have a lovely smile and unknowingly to me, I compared his smile with Lincoln's smile in my mind.Finn brought out his phone, "May I have your number? So I could text you and we can make arrangements?"He was soft and polite about it all…mm, charming."Sure", I took his phone and put in my number, "Montana, you can save as that.""Well, umm I have to go now, someone's waiting for me," I said, and he looked a bit confused for the moment, I think I knew what he was thinking or trying to understand. "My aunt is waiting for me, I should not keep her waiting for long", I finally said."Right", he chuckled, "You should get going, I will see you around."I nodded and gave him a little wave before turning to leave.I stopped at one point and turned to find him staring, bu
CHAPTER 75MONTANA'S POV I blushed at the way he looked at me, his words when he complimented me and opened my side of the door, "My lady", he smiled."Why, thank you gentleman", I giggled and got in.He closed my door after being sure I was comfortable, walked over to the driver's side and got in."So where are we going?", I started a conversation as we left my hotel."I know a nice restaurant, not too luxurious but can be, nice and their food is also great," He said and I nodded, mouthing an okay.Truthfully, I was a bit nervous, cannot remember the last time, someone had some interest in me. It was always me pursuing them, while they sit down and relax, as I put great effort."You really look beautiful, Montana, it is an honor going on this date with you," He said to me."You flatter me", I blushed a bit and turned, looking out the window. Did not want to seem easy, although I had my trust and guards up, but I guess it would not hurt to have a little fun an
CHAPTER 76MONTANA'S POV Finn cleared his throat and moved back a bit, respecting my decision."I am sorry, I just do not want things to be rushed," I said sincerely, my heart beating in my chest."I understand, I apologize if I made you uncomfortable," he said."No, no", I smiled and pecked his cheeks, "You did not.""I am glad then", he smiled back."Alright I guess I will see you around. I best go in" I gave a short wave and went into my hotel.Oh, wow!I giggled a bit but stopped myself, keeping a serious face as I headed to my room."So how was it??", My aunt immediately asked as I stepped in"This woman," I said in my mind as I laughed, she did not even let me close the door before wanting to know more.Well, I told her how it went and a little of the sweet details, of course.Days passed and Finn and I hanged out, I got to know more about him, his personality and I guess he got to know about me. Nothing too deep, though.We texted when we can, it was
