Mystery POV

I headed to my booked hotel. An assassin's work is never done.

My journey was a joy. I reveled in the pleasurable sight of the pack burnt half to the ground.

Sure, Alpha Rowland has begun to meticulously rebuild, but nothing could ever erase the cinders of the burning fires, bring back the slaughtered fathers, mothers, and children, and nothing could remove the fear that had seeded in the minds of those who remained.

I got to my hotel. It was a beautiful place. Perfect height and distance from the wedding venue. No one would see me coming.

The receptionist smiled warmly at me.

“Name please.”

I gave her my name and she looked it up. I caught her eyes staring at me. I smiled again. Once this was over, I would definitely reward myself with a little bed company.

"I'm sorry, but your room is already booked.”

I hissed. That wasn't possible. I chose that room because of the proximity and angle to the wedding venue.

"Could we give you another room? We are sorry for the inconvenien

    Erica:“Lorenzo!”I released myself from my father and ran to him. His shoulder had a deep hole in it, and the wound seemed to be growing."Lorenzo! Stay with me!”His eyes were closing. I felt his pulse; it was weak. He was barely breathing.The guests began to panic and there was pandemonium. Everyone began to leave the venue and some people ducked behind the chairs.“Lorenzo!"“Move! I'm coming through!"I looked up and saw Dr. Blake pushing through the clouds with his suit. I couldn't believe he came to the wedding.“What happened? Is he okay?"I took my hand off the wound briefly and gasped.His blood! It was purple!“No! No! No! Erica, keep putting pressure on the wound! Someone get me a cloth!”Clarissa ran up to me and handed Dr. Blake a soft towel. Her eyes bore into me with such hate as she saw me pressing Lorenzo's wound.It was then I saw it and I believed. Dante was right! Lorenzo was cheating on me with her!I looked down and his blood began to seep through the gaps in m

    Dante's POVI dropped my phone to the floor and stared at Erica, terrified. What on earth was she doing?Her wolf was huge! Towering above everyone. She was easily fifteen feet or more, much bigger than when she shifted in my home when Pearl was home.She had her paw on a man's chest and I could see he was bleeding profusely.By her side lay her father's lifeless body in a pool of blood. His face was an ugly purple and his blood was a heady mix of crimson and violet.“Erica! Erica! Stop! What are you doing?"She ignored me and extended her claws, pinning the man harder to the ground and snarling.Her black wolf had an ominous aura about it and her eyes were glowing a bright red. She was going to kill him. She was actually going to kill him.“Erica!"I ran towards her and her head turned to me. Before I knew it, her tail came hurtling toward me. I grabbed onto it and held on for my dear life.My plan worked. She was distracted and a few men rushed and pulled the man away from her crush

    Laura's POVI sat at the beach. The Bahamas was beautiful. The waiter brought my drink as I lay on my chair, getting some much-needed sun on my skin.I was so grateful for the getaway. My new boyfriend was amazing.My body tingled at the thought of how he handled me in bed.Fuck! What I wouldn't give to have him again. He did say he was going to join me in the Bahamas soon."Hello, Miss. Would you like another glass of a pineapple margarita?"I smiled and stretched out my empty glass and the waiter filled it up.God this was amazing! I never got this sort of treatment when I was Dante.I gripped the glass hard. Any harder and my werewolf strength would shatter the glass.I hoped that bastard was burning in hell! He and that stupid bitch, Erica!"No, Laura. No bad thoughts on your all-expense paid vacation. Just relax."I eased up and lay on my chair again. I wasn't going to think about any of them.The warm sun on my skin rocked me almost to sleep but I was interrupted by my phone buz

    Javier's POVI ended the call and licked my lips. She was doing my bidding for me perfectly. What a good little girl she was.I poked my head around the corner where I was hiding and surveyed the trashed wedding.I smirked. Seeing Erica like that was glorious. Such power and strength!Magnificent!Imagine the fears that could be accomplished if we harnessed such raw and destructive power. She was truly a beauty that was a raging beast.However, it was over and she was standing beside Dante and her kids.I scowled.Wasn't that bastard supposed to be dead?! What was he still doing breathing?I angrily dialed another number on my phone and a voice came from the other end."And where has your terrified self been?"I huffed angrily."I would be asking you the same thing, Adam. Why is Dante still alive?!" I hissed angrily."Forgive me. I was caught up in the show. It was very entertaining. That Dante is very nimble on his feet."I growled angrily. This wasn't a joke. He was putting the plan

    Erica's POV"Miss Erica? Miss Erica, can you hear me?"The voice seemed to come from far off. What was going on?I opened my eyes just a little and I was immediately blitzed by a bright white light.I closed them instantly as the pain burned my irises."Get the light away from her. Back away."Through my eyelids, I could see the light dissipating. My heart rate dropped a little and I relaxed.I heard the shuffling of feet around me and finally opened my eyes again.The people around me were clad in white scrubs and had masks over their noses and mouths.“Where am I?” I asked softly, my eyes taking in the room around me.“You are in the hospital,” one of the nurses answered me. “How do you feel?”I tried to sit up but I was gently pushed back to lie down on the bed.I raised my hand but I felt something tug it back down to my side. My eyes caught a glimpse of the tubes and needles that were attached to my wrists as well as a pair of handcuffs that kept me chained to the bed.My eyes gr

    Erica's POVElma popped her head in and I smiled weakly at her, urging her to come inside the room.Her smile widened, and she came in and was promptly followed by her brother and sister."Mom, are you alright?" Ethan asked as he stood by my side.I reached over and carried him and placed him on my lap.Side by side with Dante, looked just like him. The resemblance was staggering and it made my chest uncomfortable.Elma stood by my side and I saw that she wasn't smiling at me but rather at Dante.My anger burned."Hello," she said shyly, blushing slightly.Dante gave a slight chuckle and beckoned on her to come closer."Elma, no..."But it was too late. He had already hoisted her onto his lap.I pursed my lips angrily.Ethan turned to Dante and Elma and Dante gasped, seeing how alike they looked."I remember you," Ethan said loudly, "you are the man that nearly hit Elma."My eyes grew wide. He nearly hit Elma? When did this happen?"It's okay, Mom," Elsa reassured me. "It was just a m

    Dante's POVI marched out of the room. My head was a flurry of emotions.I had nearly killed Lorenzo and that stupid assassin had nearly killed me.The weight in my heart began to increase.It was my fault. The truth was glaring, and I could no longer avoid it.It was my fault that Erica's father died. That stupid assassin tried to shoot me and must have misfired and killed Alpha Rowland instead.It was the only thing that made sense. The matching poison bullets were a big giveaway.Fuck! How could I be..."Sir?"I was yanked out of my thoughts by a soft tiny voice and a small pull on my trousers. I looked around and saw one of Erica's children, the one I presume to be the youngest, tugging at my ripped pants and smiling.Her eyes and hair matched mine so perfectly but something about her stood out from the rest of her siblings.She... She mirrored Erica so perfectly. I could... I could feel her energy inside of her."Hello again, little one."I stretched out my hand and she wrapped h

    Lorenzo's POVI woke up in and felt a searing pain shoot through my entire shoulder.“Ahhhh!"I stopped moving and collapsed on the bed as two nurses came rushing in.“Mr. Lorenzo. Are you alright?"I hissed angrily. Did I look alright?The nurses checked my arm and checked the monitor that was beeping on my left side.“You are in a stable condition, but we advise that you try not to move so much. We had just managed to get the poison under control."I breathed angrily and turned to look at my injured shoulder. It was a bright purple, as well as the arm attached to it.I knew I had been shot but what the fuck was in that bullet.“What happened to me?" I asked the nurse.“You have Wolfbane poison in your body. Analysis shows that the bullet that shot you was coated with it."I sighed and eased back into the bed and allowed the nurses to do their job. Someone was trying to kill me. I knew it. I had always had the feeling.I lay there and let my thoughts wander. I couldn't remember much

Women are so gullible… I know, father. I just need a little time. Yes, father.” The phone call ended and I was left by myself. My father had received Laura and Lisa. Things were falling into place nicely. My heart did a little thump. I hoped my father was treating my mate well. I could only imagine how many times she would have called. She was going to be so mad when I saw her. It would take a miracle for her to forgive me, but she would understand in the end. It was

    Erica’s POVI looked at the number, stunned and in disbelief. Why was she calling me? Hadn’t she ruined my life enough? Wasn’t she and Lorenzo already tired of making a fool of me?I cut the call and placed my phone back on the bedside table. Dante looked at me in shock and made a reach for my hand but I pulled it away.“Who was it?”“None of your business,” I snapped, shifting away from him.“Erica, we need to be able to stick together and…”“Can you just leave me alone, Dante? We aren’t married. I barely recognize you as the father of my children, so I suggest that you keep your nose out of my business!”Ring!

    Erica’s POVI pulled my kids closer to me and glared at Pearl. I should have known that she would be here. I watched her lock eyes with Dante, but every few minutes, he would steal glances at me and my kids. I couldn’t explain how much I hated her.“Dante, I don’t know what she has done to brainwash you, but she is lying, and you know it. She is barren. She can’t have…”“I am not going to stand for this any longer, Pearl. These are my kids and if you don’t get out of my way, I’ll make sure that you are thrown out of this place.”His voice boomed and even the kids jumped in fright. They had never seen him this angry. Pearl stepped back and shot me a hateful look. I gave one back to her; the feeling was very mutual.He picked up Elsa and turned to one of the maids, ignoring Pearl’s presence completely.“Have the chef prepare dinner for the five of us. We had a long trip, and we are famished.”The maid disappeared into the house, and we followed her behind, as Dante pushed Pearl out of h

    Dante’s POV“Uhmm… I believe we should get going. It is getting late and we… might miss our flight.”I watched Erica gently pull her hand from her daughter's grasp and grab her suitcase. My heart fell and her daughter looked confused. I sighed and was at the same time, grateful. It seemed she hadn’t told her kids about what happened between us. My heart pounded at the thought.It wasn’t too hard to see that they loved me. I could only imagine how much hate they would have towards me if they found out the truth.She took Ethan’s hand gently and they walked to the car that was waiting outside. From what I had noticed. He was the eldest of the three, and he was a spitting image of me, but I could see a bit of his grandfather in him. I could feel his heart inside of him.I watched the kids go after their mother but little Elma still clung to my fingers, looking up at me with a big smile. She was so sweet.“Elma, dear, could you please join your mother outside? I need to talk to your ‘fat

    Erica’s POVI grabbed my suitcase and looked at the contents. I hadn’t even removed anything from it except the book. I looked at my clothes and sighed. I couldn’t believe that I was going to do this, but this was what was best for the kidsand my pack.I felt a tear come to my eye but I wiped it off. I shouldn’t cry. I should have known that it was going to come to this. I should have known that he would find out soon enough and that he would do anything in his power to get them back into his life. I couldn’t forget my meeting with him and the head of the council burst in. They looked ravenous and desperate, quite like the counselors in my pack who seemed very hell-bent on keeping me from taking over from my father.There was a soft knock at the door and my steady gaze was broken.“Come in.”The door opened and my mother opened the door and smiled sadly at me. I tried to give her a reassuring smile but my lips were trembling. It was like I was going back in time but it was a little d

He should be ashamed of...""Enough!" I snapped at counselor Rufus. I was sick of his talking.He was lucky I was being civil. I should have spoken my mind the day we were planning my father's funeral.He looked at me with shock, but it soon morphed into anger and disdain."How dare you? I am the head of the council and...""And I am the daughter of the Alpha and the heir to his throne. I am well aware of who you are, Counselor Rufus and I assure you, you are beneath me."His mouth was wide and the murmurs in the crowd intensified. It was high time I put everyone in their place."I am my father's daughter and I want his cremation to be peaceful. I don't care for your gossip and back talk and anyone that dares to interrupt the decorum will answer to me..."I could feel my anger rising inside of me. I could feel my eyes glo

    Erica's POVI stood there in the rain, staring at him. Was he out of his mind?! Did he think that he could just show up at my father's funeral unannounced and spew this bullshit? Hadn't he caused me enough pain already?I slapped him again and he let me. He didn't move an inch and moved his jaw in pain to readjust it.“You can hit me all you want, Erica. But I am not leaving here without the kids. You can't win this battle. I stated that are mentally unfit to take care of them and have a certain ‘illness’ that makes you lose control of yourself. You are a danger to them.”I was stunned."Did you just call me mentally unstable? You think I'm insane?!”I could feel my anger building. Who did he think he was?!“I didn't say that you were…”"Don't you dare think that you can play coy with me! You know what you implied!”I sunk my fist into his face and he reeled backwards. I watched as blood streamed down from his face to the puddle of water beneath our feet.He pulled his hand away and h

    Laura’s POVI watched as Lisa and her father breezed through the crowd. It wasn’t difficult to tell that she was thoroughly bored. I couldn’t blame her. Her father looked like a stuffy stuck-up man.I turned my head and caught sight of Rusev watching me like a hawk. I grumbled. I hated him. Why did my mate think it a good idea to leave me stuck with him?I shadowed Mr. Hans as he dragged his daughter along, greeting dignitaries and other stuck-up people like himself.A waiter passed me and I grabbed another glass of champagne. How was I going to get Lisa away from her old man?My mind kicked into overdrive, and soon, an idea hit me. I sighed and winced in disgust as it continued to take shape in my head. It wasn’t pleasant but I had to do it. I guess that was one other purpose of the dress I wore.I took another sip of my champagne and strutted sexily towards Mr. Hans. He caught a glimpse of me through the corner of his eye and was soon fully facing my direction.A dirt smirk crept on
