Emma's POVI was finally done with the day's work, I sighed and dropped the gloves I was holding, wiping sweat off my forehead. I left the kitchen and went to my room. I met Grace already sleeping and I laid beside her,too tired to take a bath. I covered myself up with the old blanket I use every night, I thought about the incident that happened a few days ago and I shuddered.A few days back"Are you okay? I was scared something bad was going to happen to you" Mike said. "Mike!" I called and was dumbfounded to see him, he was the last person I expected to save me."What are you doing out here?" He asked, dusting his shirt and I looked at him still dumbfounded, I could hardly believe I would see him again."Why are you here? How do you know I am here?" I asked him."That shouldn't be any cause of worry for you right now, why are you not in the pack manor at this time of the night? You know how dangerous it can be out of the pack manor and those hungry rogues will devour anyone they
Emma’s POV“Oh! You must be in a good mood this late morning” Mike said and I chuckled. “Do you think so? And why do you think so, I am always in a good mood” I replied, raising my gown made of linen. “You never asked about my night before,” Mike said, and I sighed, wiping away a speck of sweat from my forehead “We never really talked” I answered and started walking away from him, I need to get to work before I make Lady Josephine furious“You seem to be in a haste, I can help you with whatever you want to do,” Mike said, and I looked at him skeptically, his slouch hat slightly bends on his head“Are you not supposed to be on duty?” I asked him.“No” he replied, and I raised my brow at him, he wouldn’t be in his uniform if he was off-duty “I mean yes, but right now, it’s my break period, let me help you Emma” Mike said, and I looked into his eyes, he seems determined and doesn’t look like he will be leaving me alone anytime soon“Okay, I could make use of your arms, follow me,” I s
Lana’s POV A few hours before the incident.I was busy looking at my newly tailored gown, my hands were on the silk feeling the texture, I chuckled as silly thoughts invaded me. I intended to wear this to the visit Alpha Lucas, the neckline was as low as I wanted it and after wearing it with the corset, my breasts are going to pop out the way I want. My thoughts were halted by a knock on the door, I furrowed my brows immediately walking away from the dress before clearing my throat“Come in,” I said, and the door was pushed open, I saw a slave entering my room with his head bowed in respect. “what brings you here?!” I asked.“Your father seeks your presence,” the slave said, and my eyes widened, I was not expecting to see him any time soon“Where is he?” I asked.“He is at the west wing of the pack manor” the slave replied“You can leave,” I said and he scurries away. I looked around excitedly, I had been hoping to see my dad, and he came before I could send an invitation, I wasn’t
Lana’s POVAfter taking a calming bath, I came out of my room to receive the early morning sun when I saw Naomi walking hastily towards me, I looked around immediately because I didn’t want anyone to see us conversing together “Lady Lana,” she said, showing some courtesy“What brought you to my chamber?” I asked. “It is about Mike and Emma,” Naomi said, and I looked around, gesturing her to come closer “Lady Josephine caught them last night at the abandoned cottage in the west wing of the manor,” Naomi said, and I smiled, I know alpha Lucas will never forgive something like that“What position did she catch them in?” I wanted to be certain it was something bawdy.“In a very ribald state, Emma was almost naked and Mike was caught on top of her” Naomi whispered, and I couldn’t help, but my face broke into a huge smile “You can leave, I am so sure the alpha will take it from there. They should be both in the dungeon” I said, feeling proud of myself.“No, Mike is in the dungeon, but Em
Lana’s POVI felt restless, and I could hardly sit down still, I spaced around my room thinking about how foolish Mike could be and end up putting me in a big problem. I was contemplating on what to do, I thought about poisoning him to death inside the dungeon, but I thought against it, I am not convinced that’s going to work much. I left my room, strolling close to my quarters thinking about what to do when I suddenly heard a rich chuckle, I looked up and saw Lady Arya chuckling at whatever her personal slave was telling her about. She always acts poise and kind. A new surge of anger flow through me as I remembered she once slept with Aloha Lucas.My face suddenly broke into a smile when I thought about how I can hit two birds with one stone, I heard my gown up immediately in a poise position and walked up to meet her, her smile died down turning over to look at me, she held her skirt up and show some courtesy “Lady Lana,” she said and I smiled“You seem to be in a good mood this a
Emma's POVI breathe of relief escaped my mouth when Alpha Lucas pronounced his sentence, and it was immediately replaced by worries when I heard the wailing of Lady Arya, she looks scared to death and she cried so hard“I didn't do it! I swear I will never do something like that!” she screamed and cried hoping the alpha will hear her cries, but it only fell on deaf ears. Mike was silent, and he looked as if he had already given up and accepted his fate.The guards came and removed the cuffs on my hands and I staggered to stand up, I fell down again feeling weak, and I saw Grace running from the crowd towards me to help me, she fell on the floor beside me and burst into tears“I was scared, I thought something bad was going to happen to you,” she said in between her tears and I could hardly form a good sentence, she held me up and the guards dragged Mike and Lady Arya. They were dragged to the execution dock, Mike was pushed and roughly placed on the guillotine, his knees were on the
Lana’s POVMy eyes trailed on her back as she scurries away and anger traveled through me, I clenched my hands tightly and my knuckles were as white as a paper, I barge into Alpha Lucas's room without showing the courtesy of knocking.He raised his head to see me and I saw his tailcoat on the floor and his gothic vest unbuttoned, I sniffed the air and I could smell sex, I bit my lips to control the anger I was feeling and looked into his eyes, he raised his brow giving me a skeptical look, maybe it was because of the way I barge into his room without knocking, but I don’t care.“What is your business with that slave?” I asked in a demeaning way, I tried so hard not to scream in his face and pull his hair out in an unladylike manner. “And what’s your business in what I have with her?” he asked calmly, removing his gothic vest, my eyes swept over his body and the fact that that thing got to taste what I have and what I want for me alone makes the vein on my neck bulge in anger “Why ar
Alpha Lucas’ POVI look at myself in the giant mirror in my room and I feel satisfied with how I looked in my new tailored clothes, the dark blue tailcoat suited perfectly, and I move away from the mirror.I suddenly heard a knock on the door and grumbled ‘Come in’ The door opened revealing Emma, my eyes softened when she entered the room “You called for me,” Emma said and I nodded“Yes, come here,” she said while I was struggling with my buttons, she moved closer to me and gave me a wary look before helping me with the buttons, I let her do it “Why did you call for me?” she asked“I will be leaving the pack soon to attend some meeting,” I said, and she paused what she was doing before she returned to buttoning my sleeve, “you won’t say a thing?” I asked.“Be careful and come back safely” she said, looking into my eyes and I smiled faintly “I will,” I said, and she nodded, and she took a step away from me when she was done buttoning the shirt. “I will call for you when I am back,”
