Alpha Harold’s pov,For some reason, I began to feel like I had made a mistake after watching her go in. I didn't know why I felt that way when there had been clear evidence to prove her guilt.The words that she had uttered before she went in kept replaying in my head. "I am disappointed."I wonder
“What!” I exclaimed. The name was very familiar. He was the leader of the rogue wolves that had been terrorizing our pack and the neighboring packs. I had never met him, but he always left a sign of his name. They were deadly and notorious."I think Alpha, that he was hired by somebody to act as la
Noreen’s pov;Inside the tree was dark, it was like a dark cave and as soon as I entered, it closed me inside. I had no idea what I was going to do, but from what Norman had told me, it seemed like all I needed to do was speak out and say that I had been wrongfully accused of cheating.I was just ab
"I know, I know that there's nothing I could possibly say right now to make you forgive me. I know that I have been a fool. I am a fool!"He was quiet for a while and I glanced up to meet his eyes. Those big brown orbs looked pitiful. But I wasn't going to be deceived, I wouldn't forgive him easily.
Alpha Harold’s pov;I knew that I had hurt her badly and the way to redeem myself seemed impossible. It was even impossible!Someone from this mansion had done this and I couldn't even begin to think about who it was. Whoever it was, the person knew that it was going to split us apart.I had to find
I did know that Avery was cunning,and she hated the fact that I chose Noreen over her but not so much as to try to kill my mate.

“Happy Anniversary!” Everyone in the room yelled as soon as they walked inside.“Aunt Queen!” Little Noreen ran towards Queen Noreen and She held her mid ways, hugging her. She was going to be three years in two months, but she was so smart that Noreen used to tell Candace that it was because she wa
Epilogue;Third person’s pov;Epilogue;Third person Pov;Three years laterAlpha king Harold and Queen Noreen both flung the covers over their heads and giggled as they breathed hard.“That was amazing,” She breathed out and giggled as she gazed into his eyes.“Don’t look at me like that.““Why?”“
“How touching,” I sneered, taking a slow step closer.Harold pulled her closer, away from me.“The dutiful mate protecting her cursed Alpha. Tell me, Noreen, does it feel good to play queen?”She didn’t reply. Instead, she clenched her fist tightly. “Leave now, Ian, while you still can.”I chuckled
Ian’s pov;I hadn’t heard from my mother in a long time, which was weird, considering the fact that we’ve been exchanging letters for a while now.I was glad that she understood me, glad that she had even helped me secretely.I was surprised when I heard that she was responsible for what happened t
Ian chuckled darkly as his eyes gleamed with hatred. "I’ve spent too long in your shadows, watching you take everything that should’ve been mine. The pack, the throne... even her." His gaze lingered on me and he smiled. I felt a wave of disgust. "You’ll never have any of it," Harold snapped. "Your

Alpha Harold’s pov;I could hear the music from downstairs and could imagine the excitement on everyone’s faces. It was my son’s name day and although I couldn’t be there, I was celebrating on my own.I had promised Noreen that I was going to celebrate on my own, with a glass of wine and that was ex
