TOMAS’S POV
“Tomas gets in here” I heard my father shout my name as I was walking past his office the following day. I had been avoiding him again after I kept him waiting for me and Cindy the whole day.
“Yes dad,” I said as I walked into his office, he had a frown on his face but as soon as he looked up at me it disappeared
“What is going on with you?” he asked
“Dad if you called me here just to tell me how you told me so I am not in the mood,” I said as I sunk into the chair lazily
“Sit up straight. I see you finally saw Cindy for who she is but that is not the reason why I called you here. Your brother has returned from his business trip but I asked him not to come here, I want him to help you search for your mate” he said and I sunk into the chair even deeper if that was even possible
“Dad wh
MIRANDA’S POV “Dear I will need you to go to the bakery earlier than usual tomorrow,” Ms. Caroline said after we had dinner and as I was washing the dishes. “No problem,” I said, I enjoyed working at the bakery because it was a way for me to keep busy and not think about anything else. The job was more of a hobby than a job for me because I enjoyed it too much. Working for humans was better than working for wolves, they treated me better than my own kind ever did and made me feel like my efforts were being recognized and appreciated. I had asked Ms. Caroline not to pay me for the work I did at her bakery, but she insisted on paying me because she said that if she didn’t pay me she would feel like she was taking advantage of me and using me and that wasn’t the way she was brought up and taught. “It will be Rebecca’s birthday tomorrow an
MIRANDA’S POV“Good morning, can I take your order?” I asked the very handsome man that I was seeing for the first time in the bakery. We didn’t get new people very often so it was very interesting to see a new face and I enjoyed the fact that the face was not only friendly but also very handsome.He looked so handsome, he had blue-green eyes and a sharp check bone, his blonde hair was cut short and neat and he was all muscled up and even though he was sitting down I could see he was a little taller than me, and a total hunk. After what I had been through with a man I couldn’t believe that I was allowing myself to even lust after one.“I am new here, please suggest something for me, maybe something that you like,” he said with the brightest smile revealing his sharp white canines and making me un
TOMAS’S POVThe following days leading up to me and my trackers going to get my mate back were excruciatingly slow and I couldn’t take it. It was like riding to war on a chameleon’s back and it was unbearable. I felt like every moment I spent sitting at home was a moment of victory for my brother and I couldn't stand it. But If I wanted to win with Miranda I had to wait and take it slow I couldn’t jump the gun and ruin everything for myself. I knew that if I rushed anything I would end up losing everything that I was working so hard to achieve and I didn't want to lose.When the day to go and try to speak to her had finally arrived, I was feeling a wave of mixed emotions. I was both excited and nervous of what her reaction to me would be. I woke up that morning and got ready to go and try to win Miranda’s heart with hopes that she would have me. The worst thing that could happen to me was if she rejected me the same was I rejected her, that would be an i
TOMAS’S POVWhen we got to the small town that Miranda was now staying in, we went to look for her in the bakery she was said to be working in first but she wasn’t there. We never went in but when we asked the people that were hanging around the bakery they told us that Ms. Caroline who was the owner of the bakery had told them that she had given Miranda the day off because she wasn’t feeling well.Of course, I wondered if Miranda wasn’t really feeling well for real or if she had just sued that as an excuse because she knew I was going to be coming for her. We had been apart for a while but surely the mate bond was still at work because I had never broken the mate bond.When we discovered that she wasn’t at the bakery and that she was at home instead we headed there straight away. The house was small and a little secluded but it looked cozy, that was the thing about humans they were simple creatures and that was the reason we considered them to be lower than Omegas with their weak and
MIRANDA’s POV“You will kill Ms. Caroline and everybody else if I don’t go back with you?” I asked him as I slowly walked back toward him“Yes I will kill them all and you know I can do that,” he said and I shook my head in disbelief“Is that supposed to make see that you have had a miraculous change of heart and you really want me back? “ I asked him“It’s supposed to show you I will do anything to have you come back home with me," he said and I laughed sarcastically“And as you drove here it never crossed your mind that I don’t want to come back with you, it never even once crossed your mind that the hurt you caused me was way too deep for me to forgive and forget? Tomas, you can’t control and manipulate me anymore and your threats mean nothing to me, I am not going back with you” I said“Then I will kill them all,” he said and I laughed“No you won’t,” I said challenging him, I suddenly felt very confident and I was glad that I could talk back at him and stand up to him, I had had
MIRANDA’S POV“Miranda honey where have you been, I was beginning to get worried about you,” Ms. Caroline asked as I entered through the back door“Oh I am sorry, I was out swimming in the lake the water was so nice. I also sat and watched the sunset it was so beautiful I must have lost track of time” I said“Oh I see but you must be careful the water tends to get a little too cold in the evenings and I don’t want you catching a cold,” she said and I nodded, I was touched by her concern. She reminded me a lot of my mother.“What’s for dinner?” I asked changing the subject and looking over at the pots she was busy with“I made some beef stew, I thought it would be nice to have with some rice,” she said“That’s a simple but perfect meal,” I said sitting down as she started dishing “I hope everything was ok at the shop today,” I said it was a perfect meal for me because I was feeling a little cold.“Oh everything was perfect, I even had some help from a helpful young man but I do hope yo
MIRANDA’S POVI woke up the next day feeling a little refreshed, even after I had spent half the night thinking about the suggestion that Ms. Caroline had made the previous night. I wondered if I was at all capable of befriending William and if I would be capable of trusting him after what happened with Tomas. But that was just it, I had to remember that William wasn’t Tomas, and thankfully so.But I had to be careful with the kind of ideas that I entertained especially with Tomas thinking that he had some kind of claim over me after the way he treated me. The last thing I needed and the last thing that this little community of humans needed was two wolves turning their town into a battleground and fighting over me. Not to mention they would expose me and how I have deceived Ms. Caroline by making her think I was one of them.Despite the negative thoughts that I had concerning giving William a chance for friendship and seeing where that friendship could lead us, I decided to give him
MIRANDA’S POV“Let go of me or I will scream,” I said as soon as we were inside and I reached for the lights to switch them on. After I switched the lights on my captor immediately let go of me and I took the opportunity to turn around and give him a very big piece of my mind“William?” I was shocked “what are you doing here so early in the morning, I haven’t even opened yet,” I asked as I backed away from him“Ms. Caroline asked me to come and keep an eye on you, she said you had been very jumpy lately because you felt like you were being followed,” he said and I felt like he was lying“and she decided to ask a stranger who came around here at the same time I felt like I was being followed, I mean for all we know you could be the one following me, especially after the way you just grabbed me from behind,” I said“I think you should be grateful that I was here, I mean I noticed that you were being followed and that is why I reacted the way I did,” he said and shifted uncomfortably“I
ELIZABETH'S POV“Did you really have to be that rude Liam?” I asked“Lizzy sometimes you tend to be too kind and too trusting” he snapped and he was right but I really believed that Ashley was being genuine I could see the grief and the pain in her eyes. Her father might have been a bad influence in her life but she was clearly fond of him and she loved him very much.“I know that but I think we should have been nicer to her,” I said“if we had been even a little nicer to her she would have asked us if we could let her sleep since it was already dark and she would have asked if it was ok if she slept with us in the same room and in the middle,” he said and I laughed, now he was just exaggerating“Just stop Liam,” I said through my laughs and he joined me“I am serious they say once bitten twice shy and trust me I have been bitten by Ashley so I am not allowing her to fool me so easily this time, so you need to stop trusting people that you shouldn’t trust and stop being so easily fool
ELIZABETH’S POVThe following day I woke up feeling very tired and I was feeling like I had spent the night running a marathon. Liam told me that I had passed out right after drinking the wolfsbane and that he had to carry me home after that. I was glad that we were done with the crowning part of the rituals and now the next thing would be for Liam to drink the wolfsbane.I didn’t understand why Liam had to do that because he was already part of the pack and therefore he had no former tied to break and I also felt like there was no need for him to prove his loyalty to the pack because they already knew him. He explained to me that he wouldn’t be swearing his loyalty to the pack only but also to me. and he said that the ritual was going to be important in proving that his intentions for the pack were not selfish and we're nothing like what his father had done.When I woke up I had to attend to Ryan who had grown a lot in the past couple of days and he was now crawling, I just couldn’t
ELIZABETH'S POVThere was a note that was left on a rock and Liam recognized the handwriting as his father’s, the message on the note was that he would wait for us in the mansion since we wanted to be pack leaders and live in the mansion so badly.Liam, Anthony, and I immediately turned and started running to the mansion immediately, none of us cared that our clothes were ripped off as we turned. Liam and I just wanted our baby back and Anthony was just after his mate. At this point, we were all aware that Liam’s father was a danger even to his own children and he had to be stopped from causing any more harm to anyone else.We raced to the mention afraid that we could be too late and Liam’s father could have done something to Anna and the baby. The thought of him hurting my baby just made me angry and made my feet very much lighter. I got to the mansion first and I immediately spotted Liam’s father in the garden with the baby in his arms and Anna was tied
Liam's POVAfter dinner, we all went to our separate rooms and I was very happy to finally have Liam all to myself. There was a lot I wanted to discuss with him and most of it involved his father and I couldn’t hold out any longer.“Baby, are you ok?” I asked“Yes why?” he asked as he put on his pajamas“I mean I just killed your father and I would understand if you need a little time to mourn his death,” I said sitting on the huge king-sized bed.“Lizzy are you feeling bad about what happened?” he asked and I wasn’t sure how to respond to that question, of course, I felt guilty about killing his dad despite his crimes. If I felt nothing after killing him that would mean that I was exactly like him.“a little bit, I mean your father had it coming that’s no doubt but that doesn’t make me feel any better about the fact that I killed him and the impact of what his death did to you and I wouldn’t blame you if you felt some type of way about the way
LIAM’S POVWe stayed up the whole night listening to Denis as he filled us in on the plans that my father had for us. We had to keep in mind that they probably didn’t tell him everything out of fear that he would come and give that information back to us. What I didn’t understand until now was why Anthony had decided to join us and not run his small pack himself, I mean he was next in line to be Alpha after all. Their presence here with us made me very uncomfortable but I also had to admit that we needed them, but there was no way that I was going to agree with Lizzy if she decided to let them stay here for good.After Denis told us everything we needed to know we had to change the plan of our plans because they already knew our plan of attack. Lizzy was right when she said that she would heal herself and be strong enough to fight, as I watched her take the lead in the plans I could see that she was a natural-born leader and that was probably the reason why she cou
LIAM’S POVI woke up in the middle of the night to find the bed empty on Lizzy’s side. I knew that she had been restless because I allowed the wolves from the diamond pack to stay with us but I had to think on my feet and it was best that we had them with us rather than with my father. They probably chose to come to us because they were impressed that Lizzy had killed their Alpha. Even after I had accepted their request to join us, I was still worried about the true intentions of their new Alpha, Anthony had been known to idolize his father and I knew that he probably wanted to seek revenge against us.The only thing I could do now was to make sure I keep an eye on them and make sure they never got up to any good or even tried to betray us, as hard as that was going to prove to be.I got out of bed and started searching for Sabina around the house and she was not there, I even went to Anna’s room and she wasn’t there. I thought maybe she was in her mother’s room as she n
Elizabeth's Pov The following day Liam, Anna, and I woke up a little late because we were all tired from the events of the previous day. We were not going to be getting any form of rest for the next coming days because of all the training that we had to do. Liam woke up and went to the mansion to meet with the elders and his father because he had to find out when they planned for this challenge to take place.Anna and I prepared the backyard for all the wolves that were going to come for the training. It was a pure blessing that my mother had chosen a corner house with the biggest backyard that was big enough to accommodate a lot of wolves. I still couldn’t believe that all those wolves had actually chosen my side and I didn’t even know most of them. But I assumed that they chose me because they already knew and trusted Liam and they were like his followers.After we were done preparing the grounds for training Liam returned from the meeting and he seemed like he h
LIAM'S POVI had known from the day that I found out that Lizzy was the rightful heir to the throne and the rightful Alpha queen that there were things that she would have to do and I wouldn’t be a part of them. I knew that she was more powerful than I was and that all the Alpha duties that I had been training for my whole life would be taken over by her. But right now I felt like a wimp and I found myself struggling to find my place in the entire kingdom.Don’t get me wrong I wanted the best for Lizzy and I felt insulted when she suggested that I was power-hungry and motivated by my hunger for power. For her to say that was like her saying that I was like my father and that I would easily kill and take someone’s life simply because I wanted to be in charge of the pack. But imagine growing up and being prepared for one thing only to grow and realize that that thing you were being trained for was never yours, to begin with, having Lizzy as my mate made it easie
LIAM’S POVI wasn’t in full support of Lizzy tying our lives to that of the pack but I had to trust that she had a plan. I knew she was probably right when she said that the elders were up to no good. There was an upside to all this and the upside was that if they had any intentions of purposely placing her life in danger along with mine, she had successfully destroyed that plan.When we got home, Lizzy and I were both so tired that we just headed straight for bed and fell asleep immediately. We were supposed to catch the other pack by surprise and attack them before they attacked us. The plan was that we would meet at around three in the morning and then we would all run to the neighboring pack. The elders said that they had gotten a letter that we would be attacked anytime during that day. My main concern was that the pack would be attacked when we were gone and there would be no one left to defend those that were going to be left behind. Beta John told me that a few
