Emma’s POVI tried opening my eyes and I squinted back immediately as a ray of light shone brightly into my eyes, I groaned and tried to turn to the other side of the bed I was laying, and I felt sharp pain traveling all over my body“Easy, take it easy!” I heard Alpha Lucas' voice and I opened my eyes immediately, I saw him sitting beside me on the stool near my bed. “What are you doing here?” I breathed out, and he ignored me getting a cup of water, he handed the water over to me and I gulped it down immediately, feeling extremely relieved.“Thank you,” I said. I suddenly remembered what had landed me in this predicament, and I wondered about how Alpha Lucas found out about it and had come over to aid me.“You are severely injured, and the doctor said it will take some time for you to heal,” Alpha Lucas said and tears welled up in my eyes, he was about to stand up when I suddenly held his hand “I swear I didn’t do it,” I said, and he gently placed his hand on top of mine“Yes, I k
Emma’s POVThe drums beat so fast likewise my heart, I stood outside close to the willow tree that had absorbed a lot of blood, under the tree was Lady Josephine tied to a tree. Her poise and high standard reduced to nothing. She was sweaty, and her damp hair was glued to her skin, even with the distance we shared, I could hear her haggard breathing. I suddenly felt Grace holding my hand and I turned to look at her, she must have noticed how pale I had become, she smiled gently at me and I returned it back.Most of the ranked people in the pack were present, I saw Alpha Lucas's mother glaring at me and I looked away immediately, I know she is fond of Lady Josephine, and she will only blame me for this. I spent the night begging Alpha Lucas to change his mind, but he refused, telling me he needs to set an example for other people to learn.It all felt nostalgic how Lady Arya was beheaded, I felt sick, and I held Grace’s hand tightly hoping to comfort myself with that.Everywhere becam
Emma's POVI moved away from Alpha Kingsley when what he said suddenly sunk in, I remembered the ordeal I went through with Mike, and now Alpha Kingsley? Is he trying to implicate me?"Emma!" he called softly, and I smiled at him, my smile barely reached my eyes. "I promise to make you a lady when you come to my pack, you won't be a slave anymore and everyone will address you as Lady Emma," he said, and I almost burst into laughterSuch a daydream!Was he expecting me to fall for such words, girls like me know our place in this world and how men could easily manipulate us to become what we wished not, men matter but women don't, and as the saying goes, the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know."I am sorry Alpha Kingsley, I can't do that. My loyalty belongs to Alpha Lucas, I shall go now" I said and show some courtesy, he suddenly held my hand, stopping me from walking away from him, I furrowed my brows immediately looking at him, but his face held no emotions whatsoe
Lana’s POVMy heart pounds against my rib cage and I wander across my chambers, the plan has failed again and again. Each failed plan makes me angry more than the way I was before, Mike failed me and after colliding with Lady Josephine to have her killed or banished, Lady Josephine ends up losing her head.My steps halted when I saw Luna Victoria approaching me, the faint smile on my face fell immediately I saw how angry she looked, her steps were not as elegant and poise as she always maintained, her bustle sweep the floor, and she walks briskly to meet me.“Luna Victoria!” I called and went forward to meet her, we both stopped walking when we were a few inches away from each other, her chest rose and fell rapidly and at any moment her corset could break, I held her hand walking her to my chambers, she sat down on my bed and I sat down beside her.“What happened at the council? Did the alpha finally submit to the council members?” I asked, and Luna Victoria cleared her throat.“Lucas
Lana’s POVThe anger in me is incomparable, I can’t believe Alpha Lucas will continue choosing that thing over everybody, I have never wanted to see someone die the way I wanted her death, I want to see her bleed to death and Fred her remains to the vultures, kill those vultures and burned them.I hit my dressing table fiercely, I suddenly heard a knock on my door and I remembered I had called for Naomi discreetly, I needed to carry out a plan that even the alpha won’t be able to resist and fall for, I have discussed this with my dad before, and he wasn’t in support of it but right now, I am going to go on with my plan either he wants it or not.“Come in,” I said after clearing my throat, the door creaked open and Naomi came inside, it was almost the middle of the night when most people are asleep, and I am sure no one will see her entering my chamber “You called for me, Lady Lana,” she said and I nodded. “I am tired of Emma surviving each of our plans, it is getting me riled up, an
Emma’s POV“Wake up!” I heard a faint voice and opened my eyes, I saw Grace trying to wake me up, and I sighed “It’s morning” I said, and I groaned, sitting up.“Good morning,” I said yawning, and she muttered a reply I stood up from my not-so-comfortable bed and went to the bathroom to take my bath, I dressed up quickly, and I went to the kitchen to start my duties, Grace followed after me and we packed the dirty pile of plates together to wash.Naomi suddenly approached me and I wondered what she was trying to do, she halted her steps a few inches away from me, she had a demeaning look on her face, but I didn’t care, we are both slaves and whether she likes it or not, we are the same.“You will be preparing the alpha’s dish tonight,” she said, and I tilted my head to look at Grace, I wasn’t sure she was referring to me, I hardly cook in the kitchen. I mostly wash, clean and fetch water.“Me?” I asked and she snorted.“Are you feeling too big to cook the alpha’s food now? I can go r
Alpha Lucas POV I retired for the night after I left my subjects and Emma was returned back to the dungeon. The sun is up again. I could barely sleep the previous night as the thought of what happened clouded my thought, I wondered why the person decided to poison Lana alone, after too many thoughts with No yielded results, I stood up from my bed and went to my bathroom, the maid had my bath ready and I took my bathI stood in front of a giant mirror while dressing up, as soon as I was done, I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked okay, and the clothes I was wearing fitted perfectly. I came out of my room and met my guards on standby, I started walking, and they quickly walk behind making sure they were five steps behind me, I headed to the Pack clinic, I went inside the busy clinic and as soon I spotted the doctor and nurses bowed they their head to show respect as soon as they saw me, they pave way for me and I went inside the room lady Lana occupiedI met my mother holding
Alpha Lucas POVI halted my steps when I saw Beta Royce approaching me, he held a diligent smile on his face when he saw me, and he moved swiftly to meet and slightly bowed his head “Alpha Lucas” he called, and I grumbled, he furrowed his brows immediately after he noticed how stressed I was. Beta Royce has been my secret confidant for years, no one knows the relationship that exists between us.“You look stressed my lord,” he said, and I sighed, I gently placed my hand on my eyes, rubbing it softly. “Do you want to talk?” he asked again “Yes, I need to talk to someone and there is no better person that I can talk to but you” I ” said, and he nodded in understanding “Then we should go to your chambers, it won't be nice if anyone sees us here or eavesdrop on what we want to talk about,” he said and I nodded. We started walking away from the dungeon.We entered my chambers together, and I started pacing around the room. “What is bothering you?” he asked and I sighed “It's about Emma
