Kate's POVI know the lion has done something, otherwise, he wouldn't be here. He wasn't a good friend of my father, he was one of the Alpha's great supporters and his advisor, so he has no business or connection with my father. However, seeing him here I wasn't bothered. I've always been looking for the chance to speak to Silas alone without the maidservants walking around to glance at me as if we are doing something wrong, and without my father looking at me wondering if I favor Silas over him.All these things put me off and make me not tell the truth. I always wanted to tell him about the red dragon. I wanted to give him a heads up about my father and everything he was planning, so I knew I needed to thread carefully otherwise if my father is to learn of my plan for him, I am very sure that he is going to punish me for what I was planning. I don't know what he will do to me or to Richard as well. He was the one person I wanted to protect at all costs.“Yes the lion had come to the
Kate's POVTo say that I was surprised was an understatement, I never expected that I would fall that way. However, it all makes sense now to me. I was tense when I was speaking to Silas. I have never admitted this to anyone, but back when I was still a little girl, I was more interested in older men and Silas was one of those men that I was interested in. I don't know if I still feel the same way for him but whenever he comes around and talks to me I feel my heart stiffen a bit, and sometimes I just can't stop myself staring at him without even having a reason for it.He makes me feel special. I like the way he makes me smile and whenever he comes around I just feel like standing by the window and looking at him till he gets back into his car and drives off. Silas was different, he was better than his Alpha and any man of his age, especially my father. There are the men of the Council of Elders, those ones we are foolish in thinking and unreasonable but not Silas.“Are you alright?”
Luke's POVI was so stunned to speak that I didn't even know what to say to her. How could she ask me if I wanted to f*** her? That was very wrong of her to think that I was standing here imagining her naked. That would be torturing for me to do. She was a beautiful girl and I understood that every man wanted to have sex work her, but I was not like the other man. I love Kate for who she was. I wasn't going after her because I wanted to have sex with her, if I wanted sex, I'd just go to the omegas in the pack who were throwing themselves at me and not her.“You want to have sex with me?” I was doing the right thing by throwing the question back at her so that it wouldn't look as if I was asking her for sex as if she was a slut. Kate wasn't a slut. I wonder what makes her think that way, does it mean that every woman she had come across always asked for sex.“I don't want to have sex with you. I am asking you if you want to fuck me. I'm pretty sure that is why you're doing all of this
Luke's POVI had a feeling I knew what she was thinking, and I was thinking the same thing as well. But I did not do this just to get something from her or to prove a point but to make her realize that it is not everyone who wants to protect her that will want something from her and my intention is for our father to interfere with my relationship with her and love kids and I am willing to take her away from her father if that is what she wants I have just been around for a little while but I have seen the way uncle Odessa around and aside from that it seems as though she was scared of her father or something there was just something off about a relationship but I can't really wrap my fingers around I did not grow up here and have been away from the park for years My parents move when I was fifteen and since then I have been living in Halfmoon Pack.“Why did you do that? Why did you defend me? Do you think I am weak and I don't like defending myself or do you think that I'm stupid or s
Luke's POV“You Fucking piece of shit, didn't I tell you not to touch me? Did you have to cross the line and kiss me as well” She glared at me. I did not realize that she was arrogant and full of herself until now. Was she out of her mind doing this, even after I warned her? It only proved that she was not scared of anything or would I say she was not scared of me as much as she was scared of her father.With Uncle Jared, she just grows speechless. She can't even say anything when he's talking, but with me, it seems as if she wants to show her strength and intimidate me as well. I am not one to be intimidated by anyone at all, even if you are my mother and I love you. Loving her is one thing but acting like a fool is another thing which I would not tolerate from myself.I promised my mother that I would fall in love with a woman and the woman that I would love will end up being my mate, and she will love me just the same way that I love her. Many years passed by and I did not meet my
Silas POVJust talking to Jared gives me a headache. I couldn't just go to the Alpha's house to go and face him right now. I was already troubled with the recent happenings in the pack, and the fact that he was too adamant on punishing Grace.I know I said that I don't mind him burning her feet but how could he possibly burn her feet. How does he expect her to move around? It is going to leave a scar on her feet and aside from that she will be bullied by the rest of her pack members. I know Grace wasn't a saint but there was no point ruining her life like that. It was best to fire her from the Alpha's house and leave Martha to work.I would much rather have Martha around than Grace, she was full of herself, and aside from that she was rude and had no manners.I was mad at the Alpha for making a decision like that, and the fact that he did not want to go back on his words, and still wanted to burn her legs. That was why I left the house to cool. I had to receive a message from him stat
Silas POV Seeing that there was no escape from this, he reclined back to the seat and I smiled. There was something about him that I wasn't sure about the most. I smiled.I was always winning in every battle, this has always been proven true, whenever I had an encounter with the Alpha. I looked at him as he settled down and took a sip of his coffee. The weather was hot. Anyone who walked in here would definitely order a cold latte or something else. However, this young man was ordering a hot coffee in this scorching hot weather. It made me wonder if something was wrong with him, he said that I should not disturb him with my questions as if he saw right through me. There was no way he would just sit here with the both of us looking at each other as if we are lovers.“By the way you look quite familiar, have we met before? I know you said I shouldn't talk but we are already sitting together. You cannot be just sitting here and we will just be staring at each other like this is a stare
Silas POV“You don't even know what you're talking about, how come you're volunteering for this. You haven't been back for a long time. I'm sure you don't even know anyone around, this is between Damon and I. I would like for you to keep quiet and continue sipping your cup of coffee under scorching hot weather” I shook my head. What was it trying to do? Was he trying to get into trouble or what? I know Damon, if he doesn't do as he says or fails to deliver the letter, he is going to get mad at him. He would keep coming after him and aside from that, the moment he starts delivering a letter to Kate, he was going to keep doing it over and over again. Damon would keep using him and that is not something I would like for him. I don't know him, but I felt the need to shield him from such weighty responsibility that he wouldn't like in the near future.Aside from that Damon equally would request that he pleads with Kate to respond to the letter. What if Kate doesn't want to respond to the
Maeve's POVI don't know how long I have been here. All I know is that I was feeling body aches from the tortures that Avery and Jared had inflicted on my body. I can never believe that she was still going back to her old ways. I thought she had changed for good, never would I have believed her that she was still the same person.She deceived me. Every single night I will sit in the cell crying and hoping for the day that Laurent will come and rescue me so that I will go home. I was almost falling sick, at first I did not know what she wanted. Now I realized that she wanted to kill me just like Jared had killed Zara Maria. He confessed everything to me, he was building an army so that he could take over the Alpha's throne. “Hello, dear sister”“Don't you dare call me your sister, you are not my sister we are nothing to each other, so you can never be my sister because they my step sisters has a good heart, you have no heart at all”“Shut up! You two bring her out and chain her to the
Maeve's POVWhen the bell rang that morning, everyone in the house was already downstairs and in the kitchen Lucia stood by the door crying. It was six in the morning when the maid servant's body was found in the kitchen. I could not bring myself to speak. I couldn't fathom it, I had seen her yesterday and she even served me dinner. We talked briefly since I wasn't really close to her. I was close to Grace, Riley and Lucia. Grace and I might have settled our differences in the past after she came out from the dungeon.What surprised me was how the maid servant had died, the doctor had ruled her death as homicide. Someone had poisoned her drink. I was not hungry last morning. Since I found out I had been pregnant I had lost my appetite and most times I don't even care for anything to eat for breakfast. Other times I just want to drink water. The other day I had asked Lucia to get candy from the store across the street. That was my breakfast, I had weird cravings. Something like this
Kate’s POVWhen the doorbell rang, I looked around but Amelia wasn't coming out, standing up from the couch I walked towards the door. I have been awake for a long while. After what Jared had tried to do to me but then I haven't really been outside, it has been Luke who has been getting almost everything for me. I moved in with him and Amelia moved into the other apartment she was ready to go back to school finish up and find a good man. I was happy for her I supported her dreams I'm glad that she was not going back to my father, everything I want to tell the Alpha,, I have told Silas since he ended up being my father and I trusted him that it was going to reach the Alpha's ear and they will have to get rid of Jared once and for all.The only person I pity in all of this is Luke. I was angry that he was Jared's Son at first, but it wasn't his fault, besides he never judged me when I was Jared’s daughter. He took me like his mate and always showered me with love and kisses all the t
Avery's POVLeaning against the door, I listened In. Jared was right there was not much time we needed to find a way to end everything. My sister would have to die tomorrow during breakfast otherwise she is going to give birth to that bastard in her womb. I can't believe that she was already pregnant. Maeve and the Alpha share a close bond. How wouldn't they When Silas was always around being nosy and giving advice when needed. I see the way Laurent looks at her it is different, his eyes filled with love. It made me sick to the stomach. I wanted him to look at me like that. When we manage to get her out of the way I think Silas should die. I don't think Jared should let him live just as he planned otherwise that man is going to be a big problem for us, whatever he is planning must be something huge as well, moving away from the door I took out my phone and gave Jared a call as I walked into my room shutting the door.“It better be good that you are calling me distracting me from my p
Laurent's POVI was in the study trying to sort us some things when a knock came on the door. I looked up, a smile lingering on my lips. I knew that would be Maeve. She must have come to serve me my favorite coffee. I always take it before going to bed. Sometimes it helped me focus on what I was doing. There was a lot to do in the pack. A lot Silas and I were trying to figure it out together.However, the smile on my face quickly faded away as my eyes fell on Avery walking into the room. I wasn't exactly sure what she was doing here. She has been here for more than two weeks now and although I was still uncomfortable with her presence. I don't expect her to be the one serving coffee. If there was something wrong with Maeve then Lucia, Grace, or any of the other maid's servants should do it and not her.“What are you doing here?” I looked up at her and she smiled. Maeve was not feeling fine and I decided to come over here. She needed me to come to serve your favorite coffee I was abo
Riley's POVAnger seeped through me as I looked at the man who had dragged me out of the car like some slut. I don't know what his problem was. I haven't seen him all day for a while now ever since the last time I went to meet up with Jared. I have tried to get in contact with him so that we can talk but then that has not been possible. He seemed to have gone MIA and I had no way to reach him even if I knew where he could be I would never want to go to Richard. I don't want to hear stories and neither would I want anything to happen between us. I never want to end up feeling as if I had betrayed Zander. I was being way too careful.“What the hell do you think you are doing?” I was mad at him not because of what Jared had said to me that night but because of the way he was dragging me out of the car. Sometimes, I wonder if he was losing a knot or perhaps he would want to have his head checked during the next pack doctor's visit.“ We need to talk”“I'm kind of in a hurry now, so why do
Riley's POVThe foolish b**** thought that I was in this game together with her but she was mistaken. The only reason why I was trying to make her feel as if we could be a team and then end her sister was so she could end up blowing up her cover. I will have to tell Maeve that her sister has not repented and in fact, only came here because she had an ulterior motive probably to take away what was hers.“I don't know what you're talking about. I love my sister so much and I would not want to do anything” Avery's tears become teary This was exactly what I was talking about, girls like her would never change at all. They would always want to play the victim and even try to deceive other people. However, I have lived long enough never to be deceived by girls like her. I don't know how manipulative they can be and I know they want something.I wonder how Maeve didn't realize that her sister was a devil in disguise and if she was here right now it only meant that she was going to ruin her.
Riley's POVWhen I had the doorbell. I looked up the stairs smiling, Angel was going to come down in a bit which meant she was going to see her Prince Charming Zander, and we'd get to have a little picnic together. She had been waiting for it for so long. Angel and I have drawn closer, I feel like I have known her all through my life but that was not possible. We only just met the other week when I got back home. They both have been spending time together at first I thought Maeve would not like it but she has no problem with it and even loves that Angel was trying to mingle with a lot of people in the pack. She was used to being the maidservant and was always in the kitchen helping Lucia and even making Grace smile or she was with me or in the garden trying to pluck some vegetables.Opening the door, I was surprised to see an unfamiliar woman standing there with a suitcase. For a moment I wondered if she had lost her way and was at the wrong house.This was Alpha Laurent's house and h
Luke's POVI was happy that Zander let me go and I loved this little chat that we had, it's made us draw closer to each other, when I was heading out I saw Jason at the door. He was getting a copy of the daily paper. There was nothing fun that was going to be written in there, at least it wasn't going to reveal all of Jared's corrupt ways so there was no point in standing there and reading it. I need to get justice for Kate, ever since he hurt Kate, I have not come in contact with Jared.I have tried so much to stay away from him but he has been ringing up my phone, texting me but I was not in the mood to talk to him. All I did was erase his message without even going through it. He was a fool to think that he would hurt Kate and then expect me to come to him and play with him, that was never going to happen.I thought about this carefully before making a move. I know what this might be for me. I might end up in Jared's hand and I will never have to come out again, but then I was goin
