Daphne’s POV“You have to let me go to them” I begged once again, but I knew his response wasn’t changing anything soon, I was sick and tired and waiting around while the search for Rex went behind my back.The way I was being underestimated and locked behind close doors was infuriating, honestly, and all I wanted was go all wolf searching for Rex.Among them all, he was the first among the triplets to connect very well with me… I wouldn’t say I loved him yet because honestly, fate hasn’t given us a chance to grow at all in love.From day one it had been troubles to troubles, from a mild one to another, and now this.I wondered if this was how trapped tent felt when h wasn’t there. Never had I felt this lost and desperate, even to the extent of trying to sneak out, but getting caught several times in shameful and compromising positions.“You know what I’d say, so why try?” Dad asked, hanging up abruptly to attend to my sulking self.“Ray and Rory have gone unreachable for two days now
Author’s POVStaring at the horizon, he listened to the peace and quiet of his environment as he reminisced on how life was being here with his dad.As much as he found nothing to bother himself with, he just couldn’t help but hate his brothers more for stealing his memories and leaving him this empty and wanting.There was this empty feeling deep that he couldn’t shrug off, he wondered why he was feeling as though something wasn’t okay when everything was perfect.The feeling was so similar to missing someone. He immediately forbade does thoughts as they were beginning to seem frequent, and it was almost like he was misusing the opportunity he was given to make given to make things right.“Rex!” He heard pulling him back to the present by the guard assigned to him.“You have been summoned to a meeting” if he wasn’t mistaken, he could sense the urge in his voice.“What happened?” He asked, but as expected, he got no reply, he knew his father was shielding something from him, but he ha
Author’s POV“I won’t ask you to stay, go to your daddy Rex” she spat venomously.He tried to ask more questions, but she eyed him up with so much hatred. He after, but was confused as to why he did, why it seemed like he meant something more to his brother's mate?“Let’s Go, Rex” he heard the man his father had sent say, causing her to chuckle softly, “Go to daddy, Rex Caddel”.It almost sounded like she was taunting, “I really want to know what you are talking about,” he said, almost sounding to her like a lost and confused sheep.It was frustrating to see Rex act so dumb and pretentious, she could almost imagine him laughing at her.One thing she wasn’t about to do was break in front of him, she was done with the people's betrayal and wasn’t going to make them happy by shedding tears.Staring at him, she felt hatred brewing in her and negative thoughts started filling her.She wondered if all this while, they were pretending to want her to get to the level without any suspicions.“
Author’s POV“I’d ask again, and I expect an answer this time around, what’s happening here?”Rex left Ivory’s neck and moved away from her to face his father, She felt more than hurt but having made a resolve does not show any weakness in front of Alpha Ryder, she smirked.“What do you think is going on here?”“I should be asking you what you had done to Rex, you turned him to far worse than he was, you fucking liar and manipulator”.Rex totally ignored her words, failing to catch the cues she was trying to pass to him in his fit of rage. Hearing someone call his dad a liar seemed to nerve him despite what the confusion he felt.He was convinced that his father meant the best for him and wouldn’t wish him any bad luck, so there was no way he was going to believe a stranger that made his heart beat over his father.“Ivory, you seem to forget your place here as a prisoner and your life under my watch!” His father bathed before smirking, “I came here to remind you again that you're subm
Daphne’s POVI had lost to Alpha Ryder and lost Rex in the process, never have I felt this down and lost in my life.My Rex wasn’t the Rex I knew anymore, he was different, and I was about to die knowing that I couldn’t do anything about it.The tears that escaped my eyes weren't because I knew my fate, or maybe a little part of me… I mean, a considerable part of me was vexed over the fact that I was dying the second time because of my mate!Why of all people did he choose Rex?If it were someone like Rory who already had a vendetta against his father or Ray, I was pretty certain that whatever hold Rex had, wouldn’t be so strong.It was almost like this was between me and Alpha Ryder, so he picked Rex, probably because he was the one who had won my heart first and was trying to lead him to destruction as a way to teach him a lesson.As I watched Rex watch as I was being dragged out without a struggle, without batting a lash, almost as though he were relieved, I was going.I thought of
Daphne’s POV“Princess, we can’t take any step further without knowing what lays ahead!”“We’d have to…” Annoyed, I cut him short, “You want my dad to call an army over while I wait and let my mates ruin their lives!”“Try to stop me and die!” I thundered before breaking out into a run. I’m pretty certain this wasn’t Darren's main plan, they wanted Rex to die in his brother's arms while they did another thing so this place was free of soldiers.As I ran following my instincts, my eyes trailed over the destroyed area. Rex had done this to his pack…his people.Was I indeed too late?Upon arriving at the mansion, my fears increased, causing tears to escape my eyes…worse until Ray, Rory, and Rex were absent.“Maybe there’s still time” Nina urged as she wanted out, her senses were far much sharper, but I wanted to do this on my own as a wolf won't be able to speak to those heady boys“Princess, what are you…” one of dad’s soldiers who had been deployed here stopped me as I moved to run past
Author’s POVThe plan was in motion.They were going to be left with no choice but to get ruined and hand over what was his rightfully and funny enough, he would rather not share this time.He wanted Damien to be out and by whatever means possible. It was quite obvious that he was a far better team player.Alpha Rodriguez's mom was in their custody because of him and his head full of ideas, the fact that Damien’s men had gone to run his pack full of shitheads was also because of him.He deserved to rule the pack and not the lazy ass man who sits around imagining what it’d be like to be Alpha when he has no qualifications.What he wanted now was to rule as Alpha King more than ever and also control the company, he deserved it and more. He was the smarter one here and not the dumb shit watching his pack fall.“Alpha!” He heard someone yell from outside before barging into his comfort room looking battered up.Jerking up from his seat, Alpha Ryder seemed to know what happened already…his
Daphne’s POVRex was avoiding me!This was getting on my nerves, and I was really trying so hard not to smack his memory back into his head.Being ignored sucked, and the obviousness added to it, meaning he knew he was avoiding me and wasn't hiding it all.Foremost, after we had brought him back to his senses, he talked less to his brother but didn't speak to me at all.It was so annoying to pretend like it wasn't getting to me. He didn't seem fine, too, but if didn't stop me tell worrying.“Give him time,” Ray whispered before squeezing my laps and dragging me back to the present.“Aren't you worried on my behalf!” I asked him, starting at Rex's direction.“Well the physiological doctor is coming here tomorrow to undo whatever has been done to him so no, I'm not worried” Ray teased, reminding me of what he had said about 30 minutes ago.“I cannot help it, especially when he can't meet my eyes”“Well he is cooking, shouldn’t we be worried that he is killing us” he joked, causing me to
Daphne POVAs I ran towards the face approaching our pack mansion, the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. I was no longer scared of being rejected, his face was as warm as ever, the moment I was close, his arms encircled me in a warm embrace. I could feel his heartbeat as I tightened my arms around him."You are the most stubborn child I ever had!" he laughed and I responded, "I am just a true reflection of you and your only child in case you've forgotten"There was a subtle look of admiration in his eyes and that gave me smile across my face. He seemed like a proud father."You got that right, now it's time for us to talk" he said, walking towards the pack house. The journey was ...serene, my father was sharing the news that had filled his days during my absence, it was like nothing had changed except that I was no longer naïve. He spoke of wars, betrayals and how he had handled everything, and I could not stop smiling. He was an Alpha indeed, strong and reliable. I remem
Daphne’s POVThe triplets tried their best not to pretend not to be present…it was almost as though they were trying to lessen the eyes waiting for me to speak.As I opened my mouth, despite my urge to talk…nothing came out.“I got this” I whispered to myself but I could feel my spirit dampen as reality hit me.I couldn’t and if by any chance I messed this up, it would make things harder for the triplets than it already is.“What do you want to tell them?” I heard Rex ask me through the link and I sighed before meeting his eyes.“What I feel as a fellow woman like them”.“Then do, show them who is Luna” he replied and I suddenly found my voice.I didn’t want to bore them with long talk but rather, the plan was to share what I felt as a woman to them and so I did.When I was done talking,I let out a sigh and met their eyes, silence loomed over us for a while before one of them slowly began clapping and soon there was an uproar of applause.The smiles I saw on their faces while they cla

Daphne's POVWith a sigh, I stirred and was hit with the ray of sunshine dancing into the room.I shit my eyes rightly before slightly opening them to adjust to the room's brightness.It took a while for me to get familiar with my surroundings. Slowly, the events that took place the night before filled my mind and a chuckle escaped my lips.Sleepy Ray was so damn sexy, caring and different… I remembered greedily wanting more of the Ray I had seen and hoped that it wasn't just a dream.“Glad to see you had something to smile about upon waking up” I heard someone groggily say, causing me to jerk upon realizing that I wasn't the only one present in the room.Ray stood with a tray in his hands, watching me with an amused look on his face.“I don't think I appreciate being teased so early in the morning” I whined, causing him to laugh softly and sit down beside me.“Early morning, you say?” He teased, putting the tray down.“Good to know your morning starts by 2pm baby girl”, I turned brig
Daphne’s POVThe night was cold and weirdly starry but so many thoughts flooded my head making it hard for me to go to sleep.The disbelief of everything that was happening made it difficult to rest.From my dad not being the Alpha King anymore to being back home and together with my mates.My soft footsteps kissed the cold ground as I wandered around. The Triplets were fast asleep already and judging from the meetings that were held this evening, I knew they needed all the rest they could get, so I chose not to let my insomnia disturb them.It would have been pretty nice to spend the night in their arms, talking about the future we imagine, but then I also longed for some peace and quiet.And just as though the universe could sense I would rather not be disturbed, the night whispered soothing words to me as it welcomed me to the garden.One thing that amused me was the way the brothers had handled their pack in our absence… This same pack was what the late Alpha Ryder wanted them to
Daphne’s POVA part of me was hurt that I wasn't getting the embrace Rex was about getting.The only thing I longed for was to sink into their warmth and take in their scents, I deserved it because it was finally all over.I didn't want to know the reason they had acted that way now, but rather I needed rest. I watched as Rex moved slowly to their side before falling unconscious.The mood immediately changed as he was carried back to the mansion and while I tagged along slowly.I could feel Ray and Rory's gaze on my body causing me to shiver in delight, but right now, Rex required me and as much as their warmth was what I needed to calm down my racing heart, I still detested them due to the way we were treated a little while back.I stayed and watched while Rex was being treated due to the bruises he had gotten from fighting with the soldier.Unable to hold down my curiosity, I asked, “why did you free Rex even though he had killed your soldier?”It took all my willpower to stop mysel
Daphne’s POVMy hand immediately grasped my mouth as those words left my mouth. I didn’t even want to look at Rex because I could burst into tears and tears would make us look guilty here by justifying their judgment.I couldn’t believe the two people who stood grinning in front, and the only emotion that danced on my face was discussed. There was no explanation whatsoever for this decision they had made, even if at all we were imposters…. Weren’t there other ways to find out if indeed we were?We weren’t even asked questions or even investigated.“Is this how the system runs now?” I began, unable to hold myself any longer.“So many things are wrong with your decision” I heard Rex chip in angrily, causing me to smile. The fact that he snapped out of his mood to support me was enough.“No investigation was made, no questions asked. what kind of messed up justice system is this pack now running!?”“What then differentiates you from your dad?” I asked.“You do know I am an Alpha's daugh
Daphne’s POVIt all went too fast, in the blink of an eye we went from analyzing the pack’s environment and the weird reception towards us to being arrested.I opened my eyes softly and met theirs. My mates stood in our front as they whispered among themselves.So many emotions filled me up and my heart thumped in excitement as so many emotions flooded my subconscious.I watched with a smile on my face as they turned to face us with a cold grin plastered on their faces, dampening my spirits.Never was I expecting them to open their arms wide to welcome us, but this reception was just far too cold.I heard a groan from Rex, causing me to be aware of his presence, “Rex?” I called out as he said nothing more to me.“What's going on, Ivy?” He asked me, struggling with the guards that held him captive.“I'm sure I didn't stutter, identify yourself!”“You both entered our borders in a very comfortable manner, as though you know your way around,” Ray said, eyeing us up wearily, causing my he
Daphne's POV“You don't know that this isn't your journey, right?” Uriel asked, stopping us from moving any further with them, while the men stopped in such a way that made me notice that Uriel must have stopped time to speak to us.“What do you mean?” Rex asked, confused, as though he could read my mind.“It seemed like you both have forgotten where you came from, the past you left behind to a face destiny has been calling”“What about the relics and the battle we are to face? I am needed, and you must know” I interrupted.“Your journey stops here, trust me you need to return to balance things, the battle you'll face soon is dependent on how you handle this”“How long ago did you feel as though they were still calling out to you?” he asked me, ignoring the question I had asked earlier, causing Rex’s attention to shift towards me.I never told anyone or even confessed to myself that I could feel the mate pull me towards where they called out to me, but I then realized that after a whi
