Maeve's POVGuilt filled my heart as I sat by the windowsill. I could not believe that a girl was going to be executed because of me. I know I shouldn't be feeling this way with what Grace had done. She had it coming she was a b**** and had no respect at all for anyone. It wasn't because of what she did to me that the Alpha punished her but what she had said about him. I could tell that Alpha Laurent himself does not give a shit about me at all, and will not have punished Grace heavily if it had been only me she had disrespected. I wasn't even sure he would have done anything if it was Angel.I ran a hand through my hair. I shouldn't be guilty. She deserves it all, I know that if she was in my shoes she would have done the same thing that I did or even worse. She might be seeking revenge against me so worrying about her was meaningless. The deed had already been done, and I would not change anything by telling the truth. The Alpha won't listen to me at all even if I go to him. These p
Laurent's POV“Is she getting ready? Did you see the gown she is wearing?” I was going through some documents but that did not stop me from lifting up my eyes and looking at her for a moment before returning back to what I was doing. I had to make sure everything was in order, left for me I wouldn't even entertain anyone in my house, but because Silas had advised me that it was right I didn't turn down the invitation since this was an order from the council of elders around the region.If it was just the council of elders in my pack, I would have bluntly refused but since it has to do with other packs, I don't want it to look as if I was planning a revolt against them. I could take any or all of them, but I would make enemies for myself, and I would not even know who was plotting to kill me, and who wasn't. It was best to keep your enemies closer to the point that they would have to eat and dine with you at the same table and that was what I was going to do tonight with Jared.“I'm af
Kate's POV “Welcome, the Alpha was expecting your arrival” Lucia shot a smile at us as we walked into the house. Lucia has always been a wonderful woman. I did not even know that she would keep on working for the Alpha this long. I thought that by now she would have resigned and moved to her hometown, she never got married after her meets died. She stayed single, everyone in the pack knows her she was one of the most sincere werewolves to have dealt with. My father and Luke looked around the house, this wasn't the first time my father was coming here, yet every time he came to the Alpha's house, he would be looking around, looking for what to say and what we would use against him. As for Luke I wasn't really sure what he was in my father's life, it was already clear that he was in love with me and I fancied his company, equally loved his touch and his kisses. He made me desire him every single day of my life, but he was still a weird man. I still wonder if he was among my father's
Kate's POVWhen I saw his arms around my waist, a smile curled up his lips, which was unexpected, looking at him. I never thought that he would make them move, but then, after what he told me the other day in the bedroom, it looked as if he was jealous when I talked about other men, and when he saw other men trying to chase me. He must have heard when I mentioned Richard, and now seeing Richard in person, he feels that he has to protect what was his, but I wasn't his at all. What we had was a night and then another night of pleasure, so, I would even add that we have been having an affair between the both of us.There was no entitlement to it. I was not open to having a relationship with him, not when I didn't know what was his relationship with my father, and I was not my father's best person in the world.I wouldn't want to give my heart to him only to find that he was just worse than Richard, at least with Richard, I know that he was fighting to have the throne and to be the one w
Kate's POV “What did you just say?” “Your son is dead, if you are looking for him you can go to the grave and find him. I am sure he is buried right next to my mother since you never had a son, so who exactly are you calling your son? Is it Luke? The both of you don't look alike and if the Alpha hears you right now, they might start to wonder if you cheated on my mother. Although, it is quite obvious that you didn't. Don't try to wash your dirty linens outside or the Alpha might use it against you” I know that I was told to throw backlash insults at him but I was doing it mildly and reminding him that we are in the Alpha's territory so he needed to comport himself and stop worrying about a grown-up man who can take care of himself. Luke is not a baby, he is not his son and he is not into him at all, if they share anything it is just my friendship, it might even be that his father was friends with my father. Although, I have not heard him talking about his father. It was just his m
Kate's POV“What are you saying?” Alpha Laurent paused on his food and looked at my father Bernard. I was not happy with what was happening. I don't know how to go about this at all. My father burst into laughter. “You bought that? That was a bad joke. I am pretty sure that Richard isn't so stupid to plot such wickedness against you, would you?” My Father arched up his brow and I frowned. What was wrong with him? What was all this? I was panicking with everything that was going on. “What sort of stupid joke is that?” The Alpha's eyes darkened. He was not happy with the gamble my father was playing. Whatever he thought he was doing was no longer funny at all. I had no words for him. “It was a funny one” he laughed. “My bad. It wouldn't happen again. I don't know you were going to be pissed.” Standing up he lowered his head. “Did I hurt your feelings by playing such jokes on you? You should forgive I was trying. To teach you something“What is it that you are teaching me?” He certai
Luke's POVI felt that a fight was soon going to break out but I was here for the fun and the talk as well. It was pretty funny watching my Uncle taunt the Alpha. I wonder what he has against him, it wasn't really any of my business but then I don't like being in the dark.However what bothered me the most was Kate, and not watching my Uncle or listening to what he was saying or doing. Throughout, the night she filled my thoughts and made me wonder if I had done something wrong against her, which was why she was giving me the cold treatment and said what she said earlier, sometimes this woman made me more confused than more convinced that she was the right one for me. If I could see the moon goddess right now I could question her about Kate's true nature.I have never wished for a complicated mate. But she gave me a complicated mate for me to deal with, now it was even impossible for me to strike up a conversation with her without having to worry about what I was going to do not to p
Luke's POV“I'm sorry I thought it was Kate, you know the lady who was sitting right next to me at the dining table” I was trying to explain. I had been so carried away with watching what was happening and looking at Kate that I did not notice that this woman had already excused herself from the table and walked into the kitchen. She was equally bored by what was happening. I wonder if my uncle was trying to bring a lot of problems to the table.“It's alright, you don't have to apologize. I was just bored out there, and I decided to come in here. As for the woman you are looking for I saw her heading out the back. She went out through that door” At least there was someone nice and polite around here, who could point me in the right direction. The Alpha didn't look like th,e nice Man, he was so arrogant and full of himself, the same with his cousin, Richard, or whatever his name was.They think they are better than everybody especially that cousin of his, who could not keep his eyes to
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
