CHAPTER SIXTY: Be His Fake Girlfriend Amanda’S POV I did not know how Martin managed to get my contact. He had called me but I declined his call. How did he get my phone contact? Could it be that Natalia gave it to him since she was a fool for him? Gosh, these girls were really driving me crazy and it was getting on my nerves. He sent me a text message that I should unblock him. I didn't listen. I choose whose contact I allow on my phone. Whether I choose to save your contact or not, it was my decision to make. Then he said he would like to take me out on a date. I was disgusted. How could he think that I would actually go out with him? He was a pompous prince and I hated his likes. I did not even know what Natalia saw in him. I refused but after he told me that he could offer me an assistance I knew billions would have to move the people in charge, so I accepted. It was just a date. I convinced myself. I definitely was not going to pass on this offer, even if it was from hi
CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE; Full Moon Night Nathaniel’S POV Everywhere was glistening with lights. The pack house was filled to the brim. The pack members were back for the full moon night. Usually, they were always in the city, trying to make ends meet. Tonight was special. It was a night when you get to meet your mate and bond as well. So the mateless covered the population of the place. There has been some sort of trend lately where the members of the same packs get mated together. The usual occurrence is that they would be from different packs but I was praying to the Moon Goddess on behalf of them. They wanted their mates. She should just give them. Ironic how I have never felt the connection of a mate. Not once, not twice. I never did. Some ladies claimed I was their mate during those days when I was yet to get married, and after I got married and divorced Maurene. I knew they saw it as an opportunity but I only had my eyes on Maurene. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: A Day After Nathaniel’S POV I peeled my eyes open, letting out a groan. The sun peered through the parted curtains and I squinted my eyes to adjust to the brightness. I slowly slid up and tried to remember how I ended up in my room. I did not remember going to my bedroom last night. I tried to rack my brain for how I had ended up here but there was nothing. I glanced around the place, looking for trails of someone but nothing was in sight. Everywhere was neat, arranged properly, and just how I had left it in the morning but meeting myself here made my brows furrow in confusion. I slid down the bed, raking my hand through my hair, and stepped out of the room. The Full Moon night was yesterday and as usual, Grayson led the run of wolves. The pack members were quite okay with it the first time after Maurene had gone. Grayson just had the same power as I do but his rank was lower. “You are awake?” His voice sounded from beside me and I looked at him. I humme
CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE: Shocking Headlines Amanda’S POV “You will pretend to be my girlfriend and I will make you meet him.” He said with a smug smirk. Anger streamed through me at his arrogantface. He knew what was he doing and I had no choice than to give in. Natalia was too dumb. Did she think I was going to let her take him from me? She was dumb. So dumb. I walked back into the pack house, feeling so tired and down. I needed to catch some rest since I had stayed all awake in the night to meet Martin who was still stupid in his own way. Walking into the living room, I noticed the maids muttering amongst themselves before they dispersed after noticing my presence. Was something wrong with my face? That fucker Martin had promised that he would not do anything to me. I marched angrily further, feeling dirty and used. I bumped into one of the guards and he bowed. “I was just about to come to your room.” He informed me. “And why is that?” “The Alpha seeks your presence n
CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR: Liam HERE? Nathaniel’S POV “She said his name is Martin. Find out everything about him. And also, watch that Daniel O’Broom.” I gritted out. “It is O’Briel, Nathaniel.” He corrected me. I still have not been able to find the one behind the attack on the Luna Queen and there have been several reports of such attacks happening around neighboring packs. It got me wondering who could be doing this. Who was waging wars against innocent packs and finding pleasure in it? Ever since the night of the full moon, I have been unable to rest. Going to and fro at every mention of trail found, I was starting to go crazy. I racked my head throughout the night, trying to figure out who could be an enemy. I had Alphas who envied my pack land. There were so many rogues who would do anything to invade my pack and the ironic part is that I have not had a rogue invasion in years after signing a peace treaty with them a century so yes, we are back to the question, who was thi
CHAPTER SIXTY- FIVE: A Supervisor Maurene’S POV Nathaniel was a prick. I had known but I was just realizing. I gritted my teeth as I got into the car. After he had sent the order that all work must be stopped with immediate effect, I thought he was kidding until Grayson came to stop it really. The fuss was between him and me. There was no need to drag Liam’s work into this but no, he was being unreasonable and at the same time refused to meet me. I was hurt but I had to hold myself high. I had to be the woman Liam wanted me to be and I would be just that. Liam told me to check on Galen’s place in order for us to start. Hopefully, Galen does not make us stop working like Nathaniel. As I got there, Galen’s guards followed me to the location, and I was quite satisfied with the move of things here. They were fast. I instructed most of the men, Liam had helped me with that. Ordering them that they listened to me only made my job easier. He has always made my job easier. After a w
CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX: A Dinner With The Mysterious Man Amanda’S POV Meet me here at 8 PM. Wear nice clothes. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who sent this message. Of course, it was my two-week-old boyfriend who had finally decided to take me out for dinner. Could it be that he would bring the designer with him? Uh! Please, I was starting to place this man in high esteem. One he didn't deserve after the shit he pulled on Nadia. She had told us that he didn't break her heart which surprised me because if he didn't do that, then what did he do? There was no way he would be dating two friends. Even though I did not love him or I was not obsessed with him like Nadia, I would never do such. Well, I could not say the same for Nadia. She was desperate for his attention so this was a matter I needed to straighten out with him tonight. Unfortunately, my little friend group has stopped discussing in the main group chat and I am left to read comments on the posts that did not invol
CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN: The Man Behind The Name Nathaniel’S POV Only God knows how satisfied I felt when I told Maurene to stop working. However, the fact that Liam went to meet the Alpha King still baffled me. I mean, why would he meet him? For what reason? I knew it was none of my business of a business man meets with the Alpha King but the look etched on his features that day said otherwise. Like he was there fight his way into the mansion if he was not let in. Not to add the way the Alpha King looked pale and Luna Queen was frantically anxious. I have been invested in these things in my thoughts that I knew I had to unravel it. If the Alpha King was not speaking about this threat that has been even before grandfather started ruling the pack, I would have to stand up to do so. Grayson stepped into my office, puffing air through his nostrils. “What happened?” I asked him, glancing up at him. “Well, there is nothing just Liam barging into this place to ask to meet you
Chapter 121 Chapter One Hundred And Twenty-One: A Union Amanda’S POV I knew Martins was dangerous. I knew he could not be trusted and I decided to get into contract with him. What I didn't expect was that he would be the one who secretly tormented me and acted like… the savior. I still couldn't believe what Grayson had told me. At this point, I didn't care about what his father did or him… he should kill me. That was the worst he could do, right? I alighted from the car and went into his mansion straight up. Pushing the door open, as expected they were in the living room. They both rose to their feet on seeing me, confused as to the reason I was there. “Amanda, what are you—” I went toward the real Martins and James Cox who happened to be named Maxwell. “Martins. Huh? You are Martins? You are James Cox as well! Isn't it? You lied to me, right? Used me? Right? You wanted to slowly torment me till I went crazy, huh?” I pushed him hard, noticing the look of surprise that
Chapter 120 Chapter One Hundred And Twenty: The Beginning Of The End Nathaniel’S POV She raised her head to me, her red-rimmed eyes glancing down at my lips as she slowly pulled herself up to me. I had somehow gotten her back to one of my penthouses because I didn't want the kids to see their mother in such a broken state. She began to take her clothes off one by one, and my throat bobbed. “Are you sure about this?” I asked, wanting to keep my conscience clear in case she woke up tomorrow and realized her mistakes. She slowly nodded, stepped out of the skirt, and touched my arm. Gosh, I have missed her. I missed her so much. She leaned closer and let me capture her lips in a kiss. It started off slow and sensual but soon proceeded into ravenous. My hands snuck around her waist, and pulled her closer, smashing her tight to my chest. I wanted to feel her. Feel her skin. Be in her skin. I angled my head properly in order to take her lips, and taste her. Every time I saw
Chapter One Hundred And Nineteen: Revenge With Death Maurene’S POV Just like Nathaniel had said, Liam was the person behind everything. He had kidnapped my son… someone he once cared for. I didn't recognize who this woman was but all I knew was that with the visible fear on Liam’s face, she was someone important. “And why are you here?” He questioned her, obviously rattled by her presence. The woman snickered, stepping before Nathaniel. “You think you can rule the wolves? That is just a dream in your silly head. Just like your mother thought she would become the queen of wolves! You are nothing but a result of a stupid dream she had.” She hissed through her crooked teeth as she glared down in disgust at him. Oh, she must be from his mother’s side. “My mother was too weak to win but I will win and you just have to watch it then. I will make sure to bring tribute to you when I sit on the throne,” He smiled menacingly at her. The woman didn't waver. “Liam, give m

Chapter One Hundred And Seventeen: Kai Goes Missing Maurene’S POV I closed my eyes tight, still riling from the hurt of his words. I didn't think Liam could be that awful. In fact, I had my few suspicions that he could be doing something worse but what I didn't suspect was that he was doing pure evil. The fact that I had also remained oblivious to it made me want to go crazy. I didn't need anyone telling me that Liam had used me. It was glaring and I would be in denial if I didn't want to believe it. Now he told me that he wanted to meet me and explain the kind of person Evangeline was. All of them… they all wanted to use me against Nathaniel. They wanted his pack and they were not able to get it. I had decided to let go of the past and focus on the present with Evangeline, what I didn't expect was that Nathaniel would change toward me. The kiss from last night was still real but the sting of his words speared through my heart. The fact that he told me that
Chapter One Hundred And Sixteen: Blaire is chosen as the Alpha King Nathaniel’S POV “We will help you to the throne if you allow us, Nathaniel.” Seth said, his thick voice cutting through as we all sat in the office. I stared at him blankly, wondering how everything was so intertwined. “The throne? Who said I wanted the throne? Your nephew?” I arched my brows as I relaxed back in my seat. I didn't let my roam to the feminine figure sitting just beside Grayson who gave me a pained look. I have been doing a great of ignoring them which worked quite well. “You don't?” Seth sounded that he could not believe it. I shook my head. “I don't.” “Then you don't know anything then.” He snorted. I wanted to ask him what that was about but I decided against it. “Since the Alpha King has gone missing and you have chosen not to divulge his whereabouts, it is only right that another Alpha King will be chosen. And that person should be you.” He said, glancing at his nephew. “I s
Chapter One Hundred And Fifteen: Blaire is chosen as the Alpha King Nathaniel’S POV “I want him to be your new Beta.” My father told me, introducing Grayson to me. I wondered why my father didn't let me choose on my own but I trusted his judgment. “Hi, I'm Nathaniel,” I said, extending my hands out to him. He took it. “Grayson.” Our gaze locked and I knew at that moment that we would be doing together from now on. I wanted to ask my father where he had seen him because I knew he was not from our pack but I decided against it since I could ask Grayson and he would answer. Except Grayson never made mention of who he was or where he was from. We never went in runs and he never showed his wolf. Or should I say, Lycan? I didn't know how to react or what to even say. Shock was an understatement of what I was feeling at present. I was starting to question everything around me. From my marriage to Maurene, to making Grayson my Beta, to my divorce, and to being the center
Chapter One Hundred And Fourteen: The Lycan Officials Nathaniel’s POV I drove straight for the Alpha Blaire’s pack. That was where they had told the Lycan officials to meet. I was beyond shocked when Grayson had told me. It made me think that they were trying to win the Lycans over to themselves but then I thought of the siblings I was accommodating at my pack. Did Grayson know about this? I didn't want to think that way. Grayson must have hidden it for a good reason but the fact that he could not trust me with that truth proved how much he thought of me. I had hurt his sister those years when I didn't accept her love for me. It was only right that he hated me. I shook my head, trying to keep a blank level until Grayson called again. “Yes?” I answered through the blue tooth. “The meeting has been canceled.” He said. Why did they— “They are meeting at our pack instead.” That threw me off Balance. I screeched to a halt on the road. What? “How?” That was all I could
Chapter One Hundred And Thirteen: Investigation Nathaniel'S POV I didn't get the time to talk more about whatever it was Andreas had told me about Maurene as I needed to check on Alex. I needed to see how he was doing. All I was just hoping was that he was still alive because if he truly died, things would go terribly wrong for us. Blaire would be king. I was even starting to doubt for now. I shook my head, trying to maintain focus on the road. I tried not to think about what Andreas had told me. That was impossible. There was no way Maurene could be Sheridan and she was related to Harrison. I knew Harrison had ruled the Lycan Kingdom for as long as I could remember. He was one of the oldest rulers of that species yet I know yet I wondered why he had not searched for his daughter who had long gone missing if truly Maurene was Sheridan. I haven't checked the document Andreas had sent to me because I didn't have the heart to. This was going to change everything about Maurene.
