Zander's POVI was confused and at the same time concerned over what my uncle had just said. Riley had a child . How come I did not know about this? When I left the pack, I entrusted her to my brother to take care of her. He should have said something but he did not do anything. Jason has always been with her but I did not hear anything at all.“What child are you talking about, Riley was not pregnant”“Stupid boy, who told you she wasn't pregnant. How can she not be pregnant when you are always fooling around all the time? If you know that you leave her after getting her pregnant then you shouldn't have started anything in the first place”“I did not know she was pregnant. No one told me anything about it. Riley did not even write to me all the times I was away”Uncle Silas shook his head disappointed at me. Everyone, especially my brother Jason, was acting weird. After I returned from my mother's Pack, he did not speak with me for a long while.It took much pleading for Jason to fi
Riley's PovI glared at him. He was asking me the very same question that I hated to be asked. He was aware that that was a delicate part of my life, one I hated anyone asking me, not even my best friend would dare ask me such a silly question.“Why the hell are you asking me such a stupid question? How dare you ask about my child? How dare you ask about a child who is not related to you?”“That child you're talking about is the daughter of my nephew. I am asking like I should have asked you years ago. That child needs his father as well”“She doesn't have a father, she will never have a father. I will never let him take my child away from me, whatever we had died years ago. He has no right to my child, you have no right to ask me such silly questions”“I have a right to my child” I froze as I heard him say as he stood outside the door. I don't know if this was a trap, and if Silas has done this on purpose just so he can get his nephew to finally figure out that we have a child togeth
Riley's POV “How am I sure she is my daughter when you have already involved Nobert”I squeeze my face in disgust. Somewhere in my heart, I knew telling him was a big mistake yet I wanted to trust my instincts and believe that he would be different or at least would help me find my daughter. If it was because of that, I wouldn't have told him anything at all. I have kept this secret for many years only to be revealed now and it ends up being a colossal waste of time.“What did you just say?”“Zander, watch your words, don't talk nonsense”“Do you think that I'm talking nonsense? I am only telling the truth. I have been back for many months. Why didn't she tell me anything? Why didn't she say so earlier? Why does she have to keep quiet all this while except that the baby isn't mine? Perhaps, she was the one who was cheating on me with Nobert. I have always doubted their friendship”My adrenaline rushed up, I clenched my jaw and tried to suppress the rage that burned through me but cou
Zander's POV“That's none of your business, whatever I have with him should not be of concern to you. You shouldn't ask me such a question, my work is done so don't bother me and don't try to stop me” She was rattling. From the corners of her eyes, I realized that her gaze was cold and murderous. She must be planning to do something stupid. That was the last thing I wanted. I don't want her doing something that will end up getting in trouble. The last time the Alpha only managed to let her go because of my uncle, if it wasn't for him she'd still be in the dungeon. “You're not planning to do anything stupid, are you”“I mean, between the both of us you are the one who always plans to do something stupid, isn't it?”“Why are you always this way, Riley?” He grits his teeth and I roll my eyes.“I am heading home”“What about our daughter? You should at least give me the name of the clinics so that I can go look for her. She's my daughter after all, and I love her even though I haven't m
Riley's POV Jason looked disappointed with what I had just said. Ignoring him, I walked away. Sometimes I wonder what comes over him. It wasn't as if he had been in love with me or something but when it comes to Zander he gets unnecessarily jealous and wants to make me hate him. It was as if they were living a competitive life and I wasn't happy with it. Whenever something happens between them it should be sorted out between them.The two of them were quite close back when Zander was still living with his father before he decided to move out to his mother's Pack. It seemed as if the relationship was strained. Right now it was slowly dying off. Pushing the thought out of my mind, I decided to return back to Alpha Laurent's House. He must be awaiting my arrival. The Thought of going back there and staying with him makes my blood boil but that was the only place I could Live at the moment until I got to pay up for the debt of my parents for trying to take his life. That was the punishm
Riley's POVMy eyes widened and I glanced around as I had the familiar voice echo through the door. Without having to turn around, I could put a name to that voice. What was he doing here? Why was he suddenly back? I thought he was going to be away at least till night. If only Silas didn't show up then I would have carried on with my plan since that stupid girl, Grace, accepted for me to take over and be in the kitchen.If I can kill the Alpha then I am going to end my life as well, but before that, I will make sure that I surrender every information I know about my daughter to Zander so that you can find her and protect her even when I'm gone.Somewhere in my heart, I already know that the moment that I get to kill the Alpha, everyone is going to come for me. Laurent might not have any friends but that doesn't mean that the other Alpha's don't look up to him, they know that if someone like Laurent backs you and supports you, enemies will never invade your pack. I couldn't possibly go
Riley's POVI glared at him as he laughed hysterically running his hand on his face, he moaned in pleasure. “I love you, you turn me on like this”“Shut your mouth! You're nothing but filth, you disgusting pig, don't you ever say that again or I swear to you that I will kill with my bare hands”“Kill me, if I'm going to die, I would much rather die by your hands”“You are crazy!” I glared at him.“Yes, I am crazy about you, you are the only one who can bring out the worst in me. You are the only one who can make me feel this way”“What way?” I glared at him, almost disgusted with what he just said. I was so stupid for getting involved with him. I shouldn't have done it. I shouldn't have let anger get the best of me and make me spend a moment with him. It was a good thing I was no longer with Zander, otherwise he would never forgive me for kissing him in his bedroom. I forgot everything he did to me when I was just a teenager, how could I have been so foolish? He wouldn't have been br
Riley's POVLooking up, I saw Hannah standing at the doorstep screaming like a mad woman. Everything was happening all too fast, what was Hannah doing in the Alpha's house? Laurent was a bitter man and would never want to have anything to do with any woman ever since his mate died. I doubt that even if the moon goddess is going to give him another mate he would want to be with her. Though a second chance mate is hard to come by these days since there are rumors that the moon goddess was mad at the entire region. Everyone had that thought since it hasn't rained for months. It was a good thing we were aware of otherwise we would have died from drought.I glared at her hoping that she would shut her mouth but she didn't. However, Richard pulled me into his arms, Whispered.“You should have taken my offer when I asked nicely, now I will give you something that you never expected” With that, he took out the knife from his stomach and jabbed it right into himself. My eyes widened, shocked a
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
