Ophelia wasn't expecting to have a knife pressed to her throat inside the throne room. When the doors opened and she heard the sound of footsteps approaching her, she thought it was Finlay returning. Because she had her back to the door.

And just then she felt the knife to her throat and she knew it wasn't Finlay.

"Stay still or I'll slit your throat," the feminine voice had warned sternly, and realization slammed through Ophelia's senses that it was Madelyn.

Fear coursed through her whole body, and she did as she was instructed because she dreaded the thought of getting killed by the former prostitute.

Finlay told her he sent her away, could it be that she was still very upset and had returned to revenge for being used?

Ophelia had her throat working as she let Madelyn lead her out of the room. The guards and servants wanted to attack, but she stopped them because she knew one slit to her throat, she was gone.

So they let Madelyn side-step them until she reached Finlay's room and kn

    Ophelia woke up the next morning and found herself alone in the room. Finlay had taken her to one of his cottages the previous day, away from civilization. They had ridden one horse because Finlay didn't want her to shift into her wolf. He didn't want her to stress herself.She could recall not uttering a word to him upon their arrival. She had chosen to keep silent because she was still upset over the fact that Madelyn had pressed a knife to her throat, to kill her because of her obsession for Finlay. Although she was glad Finlay was there with her.But he went inside the room. Could it be he had left her there and returned to Easton? Ophelia doubted he did so.She got off the bed and went to stand in the window to take in the view of the blue sky with big patches of white. It rained the entire night but she didn't feel cold. The room was warm and she knew Finlay had lit the lamps.The thought of her carrying Finlay's child made goosebumps rise in her pores. She was pregnant, after t

    Finlay thought he was dreaming when he saw Ophelia standing naked a few meters away from him. He had left her in the kitchen to go have his bath when she walked in and took her dress off.His mouth watered when his eyes lowered to the sight of her rosy nipples and mammary glands."What are you doing, Ophelia?" His voice came out husky. He didn't have any clothes on, he was about to step into the wash basin when she showed up. Ophelia cocked her head aside as she watched Finlay's member harden. The tip of it was pink and already had precum attached to it. It was her turn to gulp. Just the way he had pecked her forehead a few minutes ago, made her ache for him and she couldn't even pretend. She wondered if it was the baby making her horny. "I want to feel you inside of me," she said quietly, and then leveled her gaze back to meet his.Finlay's breathing almost hitched in his throat. And for a second he could barely think straight, having her make such a request hardened his cock to

    "When you ran away, I went to visit your parents," Finlay blurted out, a few minutes later after they had both washed up and were fully dressed. "What for?" Ophelia queried from where she was running her fingers, on the bed."Thought I could find you there even though I knew that was the last place you'd go," Finlay had his eyes closed when he made this known to her.Ophelia frowned a little at this."And how did my parents behave?""Your father was upset with me over my foolishness. He stood up to me for the first time in his life," And Ophelia's eyes rose upon hearing this from him."I find that hard to believe, Finlay. My father fears you. Trembles at the sight of you.""I understood him, he had every right to speak to me like that. I hurt his daughter," Finlay breathed out and looked at Ophelia. She had pulled her hand away from his hair, so he put it back and closed his eyes. Wordlessly urging her to continue."And my mother, what did she do?" Ophelia asked as she carried on wi

    Finlay was in the council hall with all the pack members gathered. It was hours after he was arrested in the cottage and taken to the Crimson Paw's council hall. He was bound in chains for the second time since he moved to Easton. Five people were waiting in line to testify against him on the witness stand, and Elodie, his former mistress, was inclusive.Alpha Bailey, his enemy, and Alpha of the barbarian pack was standing in front of the members of the public, but your Crimson Paw members had divulged and found somewhere else to stand because he was a vicious man. Greatly feared in the Eastern packs."I'd say you're all fools to believe this man when he told you that he was Finlay. I killed that retarded bastard with my sword, and he was twice this man's size," Alpha Bailey jerked his finger towards where Finlay was, in the dock.And the crowd broke into murmurs."My lords, ladies, Alpha Bailey over here is never one to lie over the kills he's made. Of a truth, he was Finlay's great

    Listen to Darkness At The Heart Of My Love by Ghost."My lords, I can assure you that he truly is Finlay. I've grown up with him and the one-year difference between our two made me see him as an elder brother. He taught me everything I know today, so don't you think I'd have known if he truly is an impostor?" It was Ronan who had arrived from Ginsburg after receiving the news of Finlay's arrest from Hamilton, the Dupree's head butler."The man over there has agreed he isn't Finlay," Elder Adolphus replied gruffly, "I don't want to think you have a hand in this, Alpha Ronan.""No," Finlay speaks up before Ronan could, "he has no idea. Thought of me as Finlay because I behaved like the real Finlay, only that I was different and better."Ronan squinted as he turned to look at Finlay. There he was trying to cover up for him, but he chose to carry on with the truth."Have you gone mad?""No, there's no point living this lie anymore," Finlay responded and Ophelia grabbed the arms of her cha

    Flashback to two and half years ago…Finlay Dupree and his men were heading to the South by horses, wolves, and men. He had just conquered his greatest enemy, Black Alpha Davos of the Grand pack, so there were fewer killings on the road leaving to the South. Finlay was in front, with his Beta Dario by his right and then there was his mistress, Elodie on his left, with thousands of men right behind them.As Finlay rode his white horse, his long sand-blonde hair flew over his face because of the strong abrupt rush of wind. As he walked through the village, people looked at him as if he were some god. They had heard many tales of the silvered-haired Alpha who owned the entire Easton with packs that came with it. He reeked of power and wealth. Had a beefy body that made women stop and stare hard at him. He was a fine man, greatly feared by men and admired by women. It was rare to see someone with such a color of hair. "All the women want to fuck you, including the ones nursing babies,"

It consisted of thousands of people. It was his first time stepping foot there under the disguise of an old man. People thought he was from a neighboring pack, so they let him be. He stared at the Dupree's castle from afar and wondered what went on in there. He should have been Alpha of the Crimson Paw pack if his parents hadn't separated, but the gods wanted Finlay to be in his place of him.Cameron wasn't jealous of Finlay, no. He just felt very sad that he was denied the privilege of being with his twin brother just because their parents had a fight and separated with one parent taking each child. Their fath

He had left several months ago after figuring out that Finlay was impotent and made everyone believe Ophelia was barren.Finlay died a grues

    Six months later…Cameron was tense the entire time he heard Ophelia's screams from her room. She had been in labor for three good hours, and he was starting to feel unsettled the entire time. Pacing to and fro with his hands right behind him and his lips in a thin grim line. He was a powerful man with exceedingly great might, feared and loved by many because he led men to war in the south, past the seven treacherous seas. But there he was, trembling like a culprit who was sentenced to death. And it was all because of his wife.No one had any idea Ophelia would be in labor that day. They had woken up beside each other, had breakfast together, and gone to take a look at the new packhouse that was being built when Ophelia stopped walking and told him her water just broke.She was rushed into a carriage and taken back to the castle, through a gurney because she couldn't walk. The contractions seemed to be coming. Cameron had never seen Ophelia look so scared in his life. And it made him

    Men were carrying Cameron's unconscious body through a gurney and Ophelia was beside them, running along because she feared for his life. This was like the third time they had been through into such a position, except it was way worse. Cameron had never been beaten and injured like this before.Ophelia swallowed hard, not wanting to cry because it would make her seem weak. She wanted to be strong for Cameron because she strongly believed he would survive.It was all over, with most of Alpha Bailey's men dead and a few running off because Ronan and his men had come to join the unexpected war. Ophelia's eyes caught something that made her steps falter and the men who were carrying Cameron's body left her. It was Lewis, who was over the floor next to a few dead bodies and fire. She looked completely exhausted with blood gushing from her stomach and mouth."Lewis!" Ophelia dashed toward her side and gathered her head in her hands. She didn't even know when she did it, because seeing Lew

    Ophelia wondered if the gods were against her having happiness to her fill. She had suffered in making everyone discover that Cameron was Finlay's twin and he was the rightful heir to the Alpha throne. Then she proceeded to tell him that she was pregnant, only to have Alpha Bailey show up in the middle of it all.She bit down on her bottom lip from where she was hiding behind Cameron. Because the man who had killed his twin had come for him too."I told the members of this pack that you're mine to kill," Alpha Bailey kissed his teeth as he took another step toward Cameron whose wolf was starting to surface because he wanted to fight."It seemed as though you're Finlay's twin after all and you want to claim his throne, take his woman as well,""This face is the last thing you'll see before you die a horrible death," Cameron growled and immediately took the form of his wolf before lunging at Alpha Bailey.Alpha Bailey shifted too and went crashing into Cameron, something which made Ca

    Ophelia ran after Cameron upon seeing him leave. She couldn't understand why a cloud befell his face after the truth was out and everyone had bowed to him. She had expected him to be happy at least. But he surprised her and every one by walking away as if everything meant nothing to him.She caught up with him before he could reach the gate that had guards already bowing to him.Cameron.. she tried to call his name but her voice wasn't giving out. She had lost it after shouting a lot in the courtyard because of the explaining she did.And Cameron stopped because her hand had grasped his elbow. He wanted to be away from everything and everyone, and there she was.Ophelia's heart rose in her chest when he turned and let his tearful eyes meet hers. It made her emotional to see him like that because she knew why he was like that.She knew it had to do with her explanation to the crowd and she hated the fact that her voice wasn't working. This man deserved so much more than he could ever

    The following day.Cestus had a wicked glint in his eyes as he put his hands together and in front of him, watching the crowd pouring into the courtyard wearing their cloaks because it was snowing. They had come to witness the killing of Cameron Snow, the man who had impersonated Finlay, his late brother and former Alpha of the Crimson Paw. It was dawn, and nearing nine. Cestus had an under butler holding onto a clock beside him, whilst he waited. He wanted the time to hit nine and then he would order for the execution of Cameron Snow. Hamilton, the head butler was perplexed. It was clearly written on his face that he didn't want the death of Cameron to take place, be him an Impostor. So many of the servants were unsettled as well because Cameron was good to them. The best Alpha they ever had. Elder Adolphus exchanged a glance with someone in the crowd and the man nodded at him. No one knew what these two had planned.Cestus kissed his teeth and fixed his gaze on the heavy wall cl

    The journey to Kathleen's home was quicker than expected. Ophelia and the people who had accompanied her reached there within five hours. And on the outskirts of Silverline pack sat a small cottage that looked like it hadn't been occupied by the presence of a person in ages. To think Kathleen had lived there because of her hardheadedness. Her refusal to let her pride down and settle whatever quarrel she had with her husband. No one knew what had happened between the two, but it did seem like a huge fight which was the whole thing that made them part ways. A dull pain spread through Ophelia's chest as she hopped off her horse and neared the cottage because Cameron had lived there as a child. As a child who had no clue that he was an Alpha's first son and heir to the Alpha throne in the Crimson Paw pack, Easton. "Wait," Lewis stopped Ophelia upon seeing how she was about to make her way in, "you wouldn't know what is inside waiting for someone. Catidy perhaps," she pointed out beca

    After spending the next day in search of the midwife, they found her at last. Through some wolf-less beggars along the way. Thankfully, Ronan's men had arrived so Alpha Caden couldn't send his men after then. Lewis Duncan had come in handy at the right time. She and the rest of the men were asked to wait outside whilst Ophelia was ushered in to meet with the aging woman who had gray hair and could barely see. Lady Leslie lived alone even though she was old and needed support. It seemed as though she was a thoughtful woman because she looked in Ophelia's direction for a long time. "I was told that you came to see me," she said at last, after staring at Ophelia to her fill. "Yes, my lady," came the response from Ophelia. "May I know who you are?" Lady Leslie inquired almost immediately. "I am Ophelia, my lady. From the Crimson Paw pack," Ophelia answered, rubbing the side of her arm as she looked around the small room. "Why are you here?" Lady Leslie asked quickly once more. O

    Ophelia struggled to break free from where she had her hands tied to the bedpost. She was in the chamber of the cruel Alpha Caden, on top of his king-sized bed. And it was exasperating to the bone that he had his men tie her to his bedpost because he wanted to have his way with her. Ophelia knew she couldn't let him touch her, it was insane. She belonged to another. Was carrying the child of Cameron. She had come to the Silverline pack because she wanted some information that she could gather as evidence that Cameron was Finlay's twin and the eldest. The rightful Alpha of the Crimson Paw pack. Alpha Caden made his way into his chambers, with that sick smirk never leaving his face. "You'd make things easier for yourself if you stop struggling. Because it'd be of no help to you, I'd have you either way," Alpha Caden smiled sickly at Ophelia. At last, he would have her to himself. The beautiful, beautiful woman. She had caught his eyes even when Finlay was alive. But he had kept his

    Cameron wondered if Ophelia was safe, wherever she was. He didn't trust those men she was with, they could try to take advantage of her upon seeing she was the only woman in their midst. He didn't like that she would feel alone, he wouldn't be there to protect her if someone wanted to touch or hurt her. But he had to let Cestus's men take him away because he had an ulterior motive. He was in his old dungeon once more, the place he had been freed from barely twenty-four hours ago. Ophelia didn't waste her efforts to bring him out, they had met and made up. It was a good thing to happen. The thought of Ophelia sending men to come rescue him still baffled him. How in the seven hells was she able to convince those men into sneaking into the Dupree's castle to liberate him from where he was locked in? Ophelia was brave since he went to Easton to impersonate Finlay. She started coming out of her shell the night she took a boat and sailed after his ship because she wanted to be with him
