SORAYA

“What then, are you suggesting?” Xaden asked the council. I saw the challenge in his eyes, and suddenly a new wave of emotion overcame me.

Fear…for him.

The council is a powerful institution. Whatever gripes he has with them should be held back.

“You’re smart, Xaden,” elder Maren retorts. “You should be able to figure this one out.”

Her words cut deep, but the rest of the council seemed unaffected by their life-changing decision. They have just spun the lives of two innocent lovers around, and they were suggesting the quick fix be for us to ‘figure it out’?

The audacity!

Xaden’s anger boiled up to the surface and his eyes spewed concentrated hate towards the nonchalant group seated at the round table.

“To other discussions,” Elder Maren sighed dismissively and opened a stack of papers in front of her. “We are considering the treaty between…”

“No.”

The silence after Xaden’s voice was deafening. So much that it took all of me to resist the urge to scratch at my ears.

    XADENI stormed out of the private chambers in disbelief.How dare they?I mean…they made their stance clear up front, but the audacity for them to double down on their intentions is as surprising to me as it is disgusting.The council is supposed to be a reasoning body. What the hell happened to them?“Remember our words, Xaden,” Elder Maren tried to impose her opinions on me, even though it was clear with my gesture, that I wanted nothing to do with her or her damned council. “Heed the words of your elders and you shall have a peaceful reign as an Alpha.”I turned around, and it took all the willpower in me to restrain my pheromones and not use them against her.“The elders be damned!” I growled. “I am Alpha of the pack, am I not?”“And you need a strong Luna by your side, Xaden…for sake of the moon goddess, calm down and listen!” Elder Maren’s voice assumed a motherly scold. She had no idea what or whom she was up against.“As the Alpha of the pack, I have full and unadulterated co

    XADEN“Hmmm. Surprising. News like this should reach you first before it is even posted,” Mike mused. I could already anticipate that the contents of this…so called news would infuriate me.“Spill, Mike. Don’t edge me on,” I growled.“Okay…so basically, news about you and Celeste’s divorce is out.”Not the worst of news…even if I didn’t expect the public to be aware of it until I had my real Luna on the throne with me.“Is that it?”“Oh, ho-ho, Xaden…that is far from it. See…the same news article that published you and Celeste’s divorce, also sought to paint a certain someone in a certain light.”I waited for a couple of seconds, and when nothing came from the speaker, I growled. “Oh come on, Mike…you’re riling me on purpose!”“Okay…okay…I’ll stop fucking with you…” Mike chuckled nervously, “but only because I’m slightly concerned about your temper to say this next part.”“Just get on with it. I won’t kill you.”“So…the article suggested…well practically theorized that Soraya…whom y

    SORAYAIt stung, you know.Weak. Young. Inexperienced and unable to lead. Not of noble blood and has not formal training that would enable her stand by the side of the ruler.Not a member of the pack.All those demeaned my esteem and brought it to the ground.But seductress?Seductress? The implication that I’m here out of desperation and I’m lucrative enough to wield sexual energy and use it as a tool to grant me passage?It felt like I was taken from the ground I previously was, and kept under foot.And it wasn’t the good kind, either. I felt like the muck stuck underneath boots, that you would scratch against the pavement to get rid of. I felt unwanted, even as trash.But somehow, there was a slight smile on my face.What more is there? What more damage can they do? I looked at all the members of the council, their eyes displaying lackluster apologies. None of them were sorry. In fact, I was willing to bet that Elder Maren wasn’t the only one on this ploy, and she just had to take

    SORAYAThe grand rooms in the pack house were one of the reasons I still hadn’t left the pack. The ceiling was too high for me to touch, even if I jumped with the assisted power of my wolf.On them were decorations and paintings. On this one particularly, lay what looked to be a wolf and its mate, nursing their cubs. It was magnificent and nostalgic, making me remember my days as a cub, under the nursery of my mother and father.Hanging, still much higher than I could jump, was a very intricately designed chandelier. When I focused well enough, I could see holes where it would’ve been otherwise impossible to see them, and the whole thing glowed an aura of gold so shiny, I struggled to recognize whether or not the thing was really on, or just reflecting the sun’s light.“Ow!” I hissed when Kaylee slammed into me, seemingly unaware, in her childish spirit, of my condition.“Woah, there baby…” Xaden swooped in and snatched her off my body. I’d been playing for her for a while, as the nu

    SORAYA“Soraya. You don’t have to go anywhere if you don’t want to,” Xaden’s calm voice was forced. I could see it even more clearly when I turned to look at him and saw the veins on his forehead threatening to pop.He was explosively angry, but was trying to keep his cool, probably because Kaylee was in the room with us.“I have to, Xaden. I have to prove that I can fight and die for this pack…and if proving it means that I actually die now, then so be it,” I took his hand in mine and gave them a reassuring squeeze.He didn’t look at me…not even when I placed a kiss on his forehead. His eyes were on the cocky council members.“You…” he growled. “If anything happens to Soraya. I’ll kill you and every single person on that damned table,” he grit his teeth so hard, sparks could have flown out of them. “I’ll kill you all and leave the pack. It doesn’t matter to me. Nothing matters to me after Soraya. Am I clear?”Kira rolled her eyes and turned around to start walking out of the room. “C

    SORAYA“Oh Sora? She’s a fool! You can tell!” A familiar voice boomed from behind the door and it stopped me from knocking as all the insecurities started flooding back.That was Liam’s voice alright.“Oh, please,” someone laughed and I didn’t need a seer to tall me who it was. The high pitched laughter paired with the obnoxious voice told me all I needed to know about the voice.“Fucking Sally,” I snarled, more to myself than out loud. There was no way I was entering that room now. Or maybe I should simply get in there and have their heads…now that I know I can hold my own in a proper fight…“Soraya?” A voice called out to me from behind and when I turned to inspect the voice, my heart sank. It was Xaden. I tried to turn and face the voice, but I couldn’t move.That’s when I realized that I was paralyzed and in heavy tears. Maybe not tears of grief, but tears of pure, unadulterated rage.When I tried to move again, I was finally unstuck, but even that didn’t last. As soon as I tried

    SORAYA“Xaden!” I screamed again, moving as fast as my legs could carry me. My wolf gave me speed. My nose could always catch a whiff of where he was, but his scent was scattered. The clinic had many halls too.That made it almost impossible to follow his scent with singularity, as it felt like every corner I turned, he was there as well.Impossible. The sterile whiteness of the corridors taunted me. The clean, spotless walls laughed at my confusion, but I pushed through. My eyes blurred with tears, so everyone I pushed out of the way was unseen to me.I used my nose to see, and I would not advise it. I kept bumping into things I couldn’t sense. Things that blended into the general landscape of the place. A protrusion in the wall, that is of the same dry wall material caused me to stumble.I picked myself up without hesitation. Now was not the time to stumble and wallow in my pathetic-ness. I needed Xaden to understand things from my point of view.After a while, I quit trying to pin

    SORAYAThe mumbling was still the most prevalent thing, even after a few minutes, and we just stood there, letting the elders and other council members take it all in.The fact that Xaden chose a completely different interpretation from what they had all imagined, took them by storm, and I wasn’t surprised. Not a single bit.They never wanted me to be a part of them and it’d be stupidity to thing that all of a sudden, in the twinkle of an eye, one fight and a simulation would convince them. I knew it was a losing game right from the very start, and I still decided to play.And this wasn’t even over yet.There was no telling the horrors that awaited me, and I frankly didn’t want to even think about it as I was nestled in Xaden’s arms. Right now, his approval was all that mattered.“You really don’t know what you’re doing,” I could hear Lancelot mutter a little louder than the others, but Xaden still paid him no heed and just kept rocking me.Essentially, despite the choice of my mate…d

    SORAYA ONE YEAR LATERSo this was what bliss felt like. It was everything I had heard it would. A mate whom I had gone through hell and back with, a daughter we both would give our lives for without hesitation and a happiness that knew no bounds.Xaden was the mate he had promised me he was going to be. “Earth to Soraya…” I heard him whisper in my ear. His hands held firmly against my waist. I didn’t realize when he got so close to me. “What’s wrong, love?”Nothing is.I turned around to face him and met his gaze. “Sometimes, I still feel like she's going to show up.” I answered. I knew she was gone, there was no way she could have survived the poison but still, at the back of my mind, there was once in a while this nagging feeling. Xaden sighed and shook his head, cupping my face as he did so. “Have I given you any reason to feel so?” I shook my head. “Nothing, and absolutely no one is going to come between us again. I love you, Kaylee and our little boy…” he said as he dropped on

    XADEN“Of course not. I loved you Evan and I really wanted to be with you. Killing you was completely Malcolm’s idea. He wanted the connections that came with being married to Xaden so he forced me to go along with all of it. I felt like I had no choice, you really have to be believe me Evan.”I couldn’t help but chuckle at the load of bullshit she was spewing all in a bid to save her worthless life. Hopefully this Evan guy saw right through it.“You loved me?” He asked and I felt my blood boil at what a stupid question it was.“What the hell are you doing Evan? You can’t possibly believe that Celeste ever loved you!”“Let her speak!” He bellowed. “Come here Celeste. You really wanted to spend your life with me?”I could only watch in anger as Celeste made her way to him, holding him in a warm embrace as she spewed more lies.“I’ve spent every minute of everyday thinking about you since Malcolm had forced me into that heinous act. I’m really sorry I wasn’t bold enough back then to spe

    XADEN I thought to myself as I tiptoed slowly to get a good idea of whom it was, she was fighting with. The fella seemed to really be in quite the sour mood but I was still unable to make out the voice clearly. I decided that there was no point sneaking around, I hastened my steps and headed straight for the living room.Upon opening the door, I was greeted with the sight of the kind of vermin I never thought I’d ever have the displeasure of seeing again.“What the fuck are you doing in my house?! You sacrilegious sack of shit!” I yelled as I found Jeremy in my living room, about to pounce on Celeste.“Xaden!” She screamed. “Be careful, he’s gone completely crazy! He keeps saying...”“Shut up Celeste!” I snarled. “You did this! How could you let this unrefined buffoon into my house?”“What did you just call me?!” He turned to face me and I finally got a good look at him. He looked dastardly, almost inhuman as he was beginning to appear like some unholy alchemy of man and beast.I kn

    XADEN It had been almost three days since I’d heard last from Soraya and I could feel the fear, slowly creeping in. It was unlike her to stay radio silent and even on the days she didn’t feel like talking, she would always try to send a message at least.I looked at my watch and saw that it was past 7am already. Three days and not a peep, it definitely wasn’t looking good. I went for a quick run, in the hopes of clearing my head. I didn’t want to entertain the wild thoughts that were beginning to plague my mind.When I got back to the house, Celeste was already waiting in the kitchen. I had been hellbent on avoiding her all week and she was almost never awake this early in the morning. I winced, knowing I’d inadvertently walked into a well calculated trap. “Good to see you can still show your face.” She spat out derisively. “I thought you finally decided to run after Soraya like the lovesick puppy you’ve proven to be.”I steadied myself, choosing to remain calm and silent as I too

    EVAN“I honestly can’t believe this. Celeste actually tried to have you murdered because she wanted to be with Xaden?”“To her, I was simply an obstacle. A mere nuisance that she had to get rid off so she could enjoy the splendor and lifestyle that came with being married to a man like Xaden. She poisoned me while I was asleep and thinking I was dead, her father bundled me into his car and they drove deep into the woods to bury me. When I came to, I tried to beg Celeste for help. That was my biggest mistake. They pummeled me with their shovels till they thought I’d stopped breathing and buried me in a shallow grave.”I took a deep breath and looked up at her. She seemed completely lost for words. “You shouldn’t look so surprised. I mean, she poisoned your two year old daughter. Such a person is capable of doing anything.”“I know Celeste can be ruthless but I always thought she became this way over the years. This incident happened more than ten years ago. I’m just surprised that she’

    EVAN“That’s what the nurse said but I doubt there’s much you would be able to do for her.” She said in her tone that was completely crippled by fear and resignation.“Well, this is an hospital ma’am. Why are you so certain that we would be unable to get her the help the needs?” I asked, doing my very best to sound as genuinely oblivious as I could. I was fishing for information and I didn’t want to spook her just yet.“I know you won’t be able to save her because this has happened before and the doctors who attended to her then were just as clueless. All they did was stabilize her but it was only a half measure. Without the antidote, she wouldn’t be alive for long.” As she spoke, I could feel the weight behind every word, the immense gravity behind each statement and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for all the pain she had to be going through in that moment.“Well, I’ll advise you don’t give up hope just yet. Things like this always have a way of working out in the end.”“I don’t need

    EVANEven as I held on to the hospital file, I still found it hard to believe what I was reading. The file had the biodata as well as the personal information of a two year girl who was rushed in on account of a terrible high fever and loss of consciousness of a one day duration but it was the name of the patient I found most intriguing.Could it really be possible? I looked through the name again as bewilderment washed over me, Kaylee Sinclair. I flipped to the page that had the information on the parents and primary care givers.The father was a Xaden Sinclair and the mother, Soraya Summers. I couldn’t help but feel a bit jittery as a wave of excitement surged through my entire body, filling me with an immeasurable sense of glee.If this turns out to be accurate, then my opportunity had finally come.As I leaned against the counter of the nurses’ station, I went through the previous bloodwork of the patient, trying my best to make sense of what I was reading but I still couldn’t get

    CELESTE “He fooled you, Celeste. I, on the other hand was a fool for ever thinking you were competent enough to get anything done.”“There’s no way I could have known. How can you possibly blame me for this?”“I don’t give a fuck how you get information from Xaden but the least you can do is verify and make sure it’s at least authentic before sending me on a wild goose chase.”“What’s done is done Jeremy. The blame game isn’t going to do anyone any good. She could be anywhere, so I suggest you had better forget about her and best move on.”“What’s done is done? Is that what you just fucking said to me?” He asked in a much tamer and colder tone. It was more unnerving whenever he spoke like this compared to the yelling and shouting.“There’s nothing that can be done. Xaden isn’t going to give up the information. They could be anywhere in the country. Even if they were still in the city, which I highly doubt, it would still be almost impossible to find them. So what can you do?”He rema

    CELESTE “Your intel was complete horse shit! Are you trying to fuck me over Celeste? We had a deal!” Jeremy’s voice rang out angrily as I switched the call to hands-free and tossed it on the bed.“What the hell are you yapping about? It’s fucking 8am in the morning Jeremy. Who even calls someone this early in the morning?” I asked sleepily as I tried to find my morning voice.“Well, unlike you, some of us have to work for everything we own. We don’t just get rich through blackmail and manipulation.”“Watch your fucking mouth Jeremy! You don’t speak to me that way. Instead of being this much of an insufferable prick, why don’t you tell me what’s gotten your pants in such a twist?”“Wow! Look at the millionaire growing wings all of a sudden. You’re now telling me how and how not to speak to you? Insane!”“Please why did you wake me up so early? I need to get back to sleep!”“I guess it’s easy for you to sleep when you’ve got everything you ever wanted. So you feel you can now screw me
