HARDIN'S POVMy hands quaked, my legs trembled and I felt my soul leave my body at that moment when I saw him lay on the floor dead, in cold blood. "What have I done this time around?" I inquired as tears began to trickle down my face. I never planned to kill him that way. What had suddenly come over me. But it didn't take a minute for me to return to my senses. I was Hardin and nothing in this world could make me feel as guilty as I was feeling at that moment. "No! Have you forgotten who I am? I am Hardin and Hardin fears no one," I said to reassure myself as my brain began to think of what to do before the men got to the house. I could hear the sound of their feets like the sound of a rushing mighty wind. I might not stand a chance of surviving if I allow myself to be caught by them. A devilish smile perched itself onto my face as an idea popped in my mind. I stood by the chair close to the door, muttered some incoherent words and slowly took its shape. For a second, everywhere
MADELYN'S POVHaving lived all my life in penury in my husband's pack, I decided to return to my pack, the pack I was born in… my parents pack. My husband had died about ten years ago and the pack members had shown me nothing but pain and misery. My entire life had known no more misery than I knew after the death of my husband. There was nothing left for me anymore. I had set out on the journey two days earlier and had only arrived the pack that hour. So much had changed since the last time I was there. There were new houses and the security was tighter, but what I noticed was that it was relatively silent than it usually is. I went around with my two young daughters, trying to locate the house that I had grown in. I couldn't. "What's going on? Why am I finding it difficult to locate where it is?" I wondered aloud with my both daughters Holding my hands. It was strange that I couldn't find the house that I had spent over half of my life in and it was starting to get to me. I turned
SONIA'S POVNothing seemed to make sense anymore. Neither Eric nor Hardin. They were all acting so slow to me. I was pissed as I continued to pace the breadth of the room where I was. I was exhausted and couldn't do anything anymore else I wanted to break down but then, there were more stuffs that required my attention in the Alpha's room and me not doing it would bring severe punishment to me but I dhfn give a damn about anything at that moment. All I wanted to do was to eat, rest and relax. "If only this girl called khalan has been taken care of, then I wouldn't have any problems," I said to myself with an evil look adorning my physique. As I laid on the bed, fatigued, I felt my entire body break down.I heard a knock on the door. It was short but sharp, startling me a bit. I was pissed to the marrow. When I wanted to do nothing but sleep, a good for nothing pig decided to come knocking. Pretending to be asleep worked just fine for the first few seconds, but somehow, the good for no
MADELYN'S POVI felt my entire world crumble right at my feet as tears trickled down my face. They had gathered in my eyes from the moment he announced the death of my parents but had only managed to flow down at that moment. I was in pain and nothing in the world could comfort me, not even the gentle and warm touch from my kids could do that. "Mama! Mama! What's going on?" Their weak frail voice seeped to me but I didn't give a damn. My parents, my sister and my brother.. No, this cannot be true. I do not believe him and I hide it not a bit. "Go away! You are lying to me!" I said to him as the tears choked my voice. I ran my hands through my hair again."You don't seem to believe me? It's fine… you can ask others about it and they would tell you the same thing… I'll like to take my leave immediately," he mumbled and then went off as swiftly as he could with his walking stick serving as support for his back.The moment he went off, the reality of his words dawned on me and I began to
NYALL'S POVAs I stood in front of her, various thoughts ran through my mind but neither of them seemed to correlate with what I was there for so I kinda shifted it to the back of my mind. "Would you like to calm down a bit or you're just going to go on shouting like you're some wild dog?" I snapped at her with my eyes fixed on her. She stared back at me and allowed a loud hiss escape from her lips. I laughed. It was kind of funny… I mean, the bravery she has. It was enviable and was the kind of courage I liked to see in women but not my woman. Lol."Alright… I'm calm already, so can you kindly go on to tell me why you are here? I do not know why I do not seem to trust either you nor Eric. I have no iota of trust for you especially after what you've done to me…""What have we done to you? I should be the one saying this and not the other way around. Do you know how many times you have attempted to murder the alpha? or do you think it's something you can just do because you want to do
KHALAN'S POVAs I sat still, narrating my ordeal and how Eric came to take over my pack to his beta who is very much aware of it but only Wanted to hear from me, I felt a rush of anger in me as I was yet to understand why he wanted to do nothing boy punish me when I hadn't offended him. The thought alone made me upset but I managed to keep my anger in check. I wasn't going to allow anyone to ruin my day or any plan I had for it. Lol. What plan Could someone in the prison have for herself? I laughed and then continued to tell my tale."The men continued to approach us and it all felt bizzare. Soon, I heard a loud Cry from the other side and I needed no one to tell me it was from my father. I sighed as tears trickled down my eyes. My mother continued to comfort me and my sister until we heard a loud echoing voice that sent shivers down our spines. "Bring out his wife and children… Let's show them what it means to lose one's pack," I heard someone say and by the time I got there, it wa
MYDELYN'S POVMy heart was filled with hate right at that instant and I could no longer think straight. The words rang a bell in my ears non stop. I sighed as I led my children into the house that couldn't even pass for one at the moment. There was a whole lot of work to be done in it and where I was going to start from was what I had no idea about what to do."Mum! Why did you bring us to this place?" My last child asked with a frown laced to his brows. He also had his nose twitched awkwardly. "What do you mean darling? Don't you like it? This is where your mother grew up!" I tried to explain to him but he wasn't having it one bit. It was going to take a whole lot to convince him than what I was doing at the moment. I felt tears gather in my eyes again but I quickly sent it back. I couldn't afford to show my weakness before my kids. "I do not like this place one bit mum! Let's go back to dad!" The elder one chipped in just at that moment, sending shivers down my spine. The worst ha
SONIA'S POVAs I stood in front of the alpha, Eric, I knew that there was but little I could do. I tried to speak for myself but there was nothing to be said. There was just no way he was going to believe me. "Am I speaking to a dummy? I ask you a question and all you can do is keep mute like you're some kind of Moron! I need answers from you and not your scrawny stare!" He snapped at me, sending shivers down my spine. My hands shuddered as I gazed into his eyes. It was fierce and unfriendly. I could pray for just one thing and that was for the ground to open up and swallow me but there just was no way that would happen. A deep sigh escaped from my lips as I clasped my hands together and then gazed back at him. "I wanted you to see how good I am at what I do!" "And at the expense of me? Do you know what it means for the alpha to be seen in dirty linen or do you know what it means for the alpha to get nothing to wear? You have nothing about this except your selfish desire and I'm go
