Mila’s POV The sound of his shoes walking acrost the floor was the only sound other than my heart beating heavily in my chest in the dining room, as it was clear that he was making his way to me. I braced myself for what was to come, as I knew he was about to make a mockery of me in front of his whole pack to see. As I stood there on shaky legs once again, I knew that I would never have the courage to fulfill my plan, as there was no way that someone could win the heart of a man as cold hearted as he was. His own pack feared him, as I could now feel their fear in the room, making my own fear rise with each step that he took towards me. To my surprise, his footsteps stopped at his Beta, and I kept my head lowered, too scared to look up at him to see what he was doing, as another growl rumbled from his chest, before he stepped around him, and moved to stand in front of me. My heart was now pounding so hard that I thought that I just might
Mila’s POV “Please eat.” He now says to me as he points to the table that he had laid the plate on when he had entered his office. Wiping the tears from my eyes and my cheeks, I look over at the plate of food that he was pointing at, seeing it heaping with all sorts of breakfast meats and eggs, realizing that he had brought it for me, after what had happened in the dining room. I found myself confused by the gesture, as I wondered why he had been so kind to sweep me out of the dining room in my state of humiliation, to bring me to his office where he in the end brought me my breakfast so that I could eat in peace, without the eyes of his pack members judging me. My eyes moved back to him standing in front of me, as I looked at him in a state of confusion, not understanding why he was being so kind to me at this moment. Was he playing his own game with me? Was he trying to butter me up, only to crush me even more than I had already been
Mila’s POV Trina quickly made it very clear that I was not to her liking, and that she wasn’t happy that Alpha Gunner had pulled her from what she was doing to escort me to change and then to training. I tried to do my best to find something in the room suitable for training, but most of the clothes were not meant for such a thing, and I had to wonder why if he had planned for me to train, he wouldn’t have provided me with the right attire to do so. “Hurry up. You’re going to make us late.” Trina yells at me from within my bedroom, as I frantically look for something to wear in the walk-in closet. “I’m sorry, but there’s nothing appropriate to wear in this closet.” I call back to her, becoming frustrated, because the last thing I want to do is make an enemy with her, so that she can make my life even more hell while I was forced to be here. A chuckle comes from within my bedroom, before I hear her say, “That doesn’t surpr
Mila’s POV “You’re late.” Came from a man that looked to be in charge of the training to Trina, as his eyes moved to me, looking at me coldly, before he asks, “What is she doing here?” Asking her instead of me why I was here, even though he is staring directly at me, as if it were beneath him to question me himself. “Alpha Gunner gave me orders to bring her to training, Sir.” Trina tells him, and his eyes stare at me a bit longer than I would have liked, as the coldness in them sent chills down my spine. “Well, if Alpha Gunner wants his breeder to train, then who am I to question his demands.” He then said with what sounded like sarcasm in his voice, before he says with a firm tone, “Get in line, and take his breeder with you.” Trina quickly grabbed ahold of my arm, pulling me to the back of the men and women all in lines, as each one of them gawked at me, making me feel unwanted. I should have known that was going to be
Mila’s POV Slowly, I made my way back over to Beta Ryker, praying that he would have sympathy upon me, with what just happened, as he continued to stare at me, noticing the pain in my eyes. When I was within a few feet of him, I stopped, putting my head down, as he quickly moved around me, obviously looking at my back where the man in charge had inflicted my wound. “We need to get you to the pack doctor. Without your wolf, it won’t heal on its own.” Beta Ryker said to me with worry in his voice, as he reappeared in front of me, before he says to me, “You are lucky I got here when I did, it could have been much worse.” I knew that he had stopped the man in charge from hurting me, and I was thankful for that, but I also knew that he was the reason that everyone knew that I was Alpha Gunner’s breeder. He was the one that had announced it to the pack upon entering the dining room, but I knew that he was probably just doing what Alpha Gunner
Gunner’s POV “What do you mean she has been poisoned?” I asked the pack doctor, infuriated to hear that she had been injected with poison when she had been taken, knowing that my men had been responsible for doing this to her. “I’m sorry Alpha Gunner to have to inform you of this, but she has a high dose of wolfsbane in her system. I checked our storage of it, and it seems that we are missing a crate of it. I believe that all the she wolves that had been taken that night were injected with it.” The pack doctor explains to me, as I let out a growl, knowing that I have traitors within my pack. My eyes move to Mila, sleeping peacefully on the bed, but as they move down her back, I can see the bruise that she had withstood from the training that I had forced her to do today. Guilt rushed through me, knowing that this was my fault as I knew she wasn’t ready to train, but wanted her to be able to protect herself, knowing that I had a traitor w
Mila’s POV Whatever the doctor had given me to take away my pain, had taken over the entirety of my body, taking away not just my pain, but also put me into a deep sleep, as wonderful memories of my past with my family came to me in my state of unconsciousness. My mother, this time, was gently brushing my hair, as she prepared me for a celebration, as I looked down to see myself in a beautiful white gown. Once again, I had thought this to be a memory, but the dress was not one that I had ever worn before. Realization at that moment dawned on me, that this wasn’t a memory, but a moment in time, that I once again would never share with my family. When my mother was finished brushing my curls out, she says to me, “There, the Alpha will be pleased.” My eyes moved back up to the mirror to see her reflection in it, as I could see the happiness in her eyes for me, but I wondered what she meant by the Alpha would be pleased. Not
Mila’s POV My heart instantly began to race, as fear rushed through me, while his words registered in my head. They were the same words that had been spoken to me, to awaken me the night that Red Moon attacked my pack. As my eyes began to focus, I realized the chaos that was erupting around us, as the pack doctor was already in a frenzy to help with the wounded. “I need to get you to safety.” Beta Ryker says to me, as he helps me to sit up in bed, before he grabs ahold of my arm, pulling me towards the door. At first, I hurried with him willingly to get to safety, in fear of my life, but as I looked around at all the wounded pack members, noticing that there were too many for the pack doctor alone to treat, I knew that I couldn’t just leave them. Pulling my arm from Beta Ryker’s grasp, I say to him, “I can’t leave here. There’s too many injured. I have to help the pack doctor.” Before I turned away from him, not giving him a chance to re
