Riley's POV“What are you drawing?” I was not surprised walking into the room. I've seen her drawing ever since I came back, she has either scribbled on her papers or played with a paintbrush. She was full of mysteries but what caught my attention was how she looked at me, her eyes reminded me of Zander.For the first time in my life, I was hooked by a little girl and I just wanted to be close to her but she was already close to Maeve. I don't mind, I liked how she took care of her. She took Angel as if she were her own daughter. It made me envious, my daughter would be around the age of six, and he'd been six years without her.Six years of me wondering where she is and if she's still alive, sometimes I wish I could talk to the moon goddess and ask her to please grant me the favor of meeting her and being close to her. I want to see what kind of girl she has grown up to be. I am sure she's going to be just like her father, beautiful and smart. However, I wanted to be a part of her li
Luke’s POVI was surprised when I got his text. I wondered how he got my number, the last time that I saw him was when we had dinner in the Alpha's house he acted like an asshole and a creep but after the text that I got from him I rushed over to Uncle Jared's house, his text was confusing and at the same time scared the hell out of me.I needed to find out if Richard was telling the truth or lying to me, there are so many in my heart. I had a feeling that he was making up stories. The last time I spoke to Kate, she was pretty much okay, we even had a little time to ourselves this evening before I left her house. I told her I was not going to stay until her father came back. I was going to come over tomorrow to see him and ask Uncle Jared a lot of questions. I would need him to be honest with me. However, if he decides to lie, I will have to find out the truth by myself.I am not a child who could be easily deceived by her father anymore, my mother was no longer alive for me to ask al
Avery’s POVI have always suspected that she was not dead, the scar that imbecile had let me down and if it wasn't for Alphonso, none of this would have happened. it was a good thing I decided to leave him, the bastard was not good enough for me. I needed someone with power, someone that would make me become the Luna, someone with a bigger pack. Someone I could use to climb to the top and eventually be the Queen.When I heard that my sister had found a place in Alpha Laurent's heart, I was annoyed but then, I knew everything would be taken care of since I had friends on the inside, and I had been working with them for so long before Maeve showed up in that pack, it was thanks to them that I got to find out that my sister was the one who was living with the Alpha, now I just have to get rid of her myself, this time around I wouldn't want anyone to do it for me so that they will not fail me as Scar failed me in the past.I don't trust anybody to take care of things for me, other than my
Luke's POV“What are you trying to say?” I don't know what came over her that she was trying to insinuate but whatever it is I am trying a lot to understand her, but I am not finding it funny at all. I don't like what Uncle Jared did to me, did to Kate. To even call him my Uncle was an embarrassment and a humiliation at that moment. I was confused but it wasn't just Amelia's words that really confused me, but my mother as well. It made me wonder if my mother knew Uncle Jared's true character.Was that the reason why my father always kicked against me talking with him? I remember when I was still a teenager he had walked into my room that day. We had a little heart-to-heart talk and he asked me if I loved Uncle Jared. I told him yes and he made me choose between them. I chose my father because he was my father. I couldn't choose anyone else.He was proud of me and told me to always know people before I can give them my trust. However, since my mom always recommended Uncle Jared I didn'
Silas’s POV“Just what the hell are you saying?” Luke yelled, clearly he was furious and embarrassed at the same time. I did not tell him earlier because I did not want him to think that his mother was a cheater. He loves Penelope and I love that as well. I don't want one silly mistake to ruin the respect he had for her. She was already dead and the dead could not defend themselves.There was no word I would tell him right now that would change how you feel about her, so I kept the truth from him. I never thought it would get to this. I was going to take the truth to the grave with me, just as I promised Penelope, I did not have any idea that Jared would lose it tonight and try to kill Kate.“You are lying. Jared is not my father, Uncle Jared has never been my father, he has always been a family friend to me. If he was my father my mother would have told me the truth. She wouldn't have kept it away from me. My father as well, he loved me and I took after him. He said I had his eyes an
Silas POV“I am her father”“What are you talking about?” Luke was surprised. But that was the truth, Margaret was pregnant with Kate, my daughter, at almost the same time Penelope was pregnant with Luke but he was older. I think all of these started because Jared had approached Margaret. he knew Margaret had always had a crush on him. She was head over heels in love with him and has admitted that to me. Since Penelope's family were not as wealthy and Influential as Margaret's. He didn't see her as a good business investment.“Jared is the one to blame for all of these. His greed got the best of him. He was already In a relationship with your mother but when he found out that she could never give him the money that he desired. He switched to Margaret who was my mate. She always had a crush on him. He found his way into her life and she pleaded with me to reject her and I did. I thought that I was doing something good. When your mother discovered that she was pregnant she left and tha
Laurent's POVThese past few days have really been different. I see myself always trying to talk to her and I see myself always trying to be close to Maeve. It had never happened before, however, I loved the feeling. She was different, nothing like I had really judged her when she first arrived here. Now I know that she did not just stumble upon my pack but she was left there to die by her mate and her sister Avery. Maeve was different, Sometimes I felt like getting revenge for her but she didn't want it.She just wanted to leave her life. I hope the rest of the people will be like her and learn a lot from her. That will be the best.“What are you doing?” I asked as I walked Into the kitchen and saw her standing in front of the fridge.“ I was hoping to make some cookies for Angel but then Riley beat me to it. I had it made for her, the both of them seem to be bonding greatly. I don't know, I'm just standing here trying to look for something to make for you. You did not have dinner t
Maeve’s POVI paced around in the hallway, that was embarrassing. I hate to be caught in such moments, even though the one who had found us was Silas. I was still not happy with what had happened. I wish I had controlled myself a little bit more. That was the kitchen, anyone could just walk in on us. What was I thinking! When did I start acting like some hormonal teenager? I never did this when I was Alphonso. Things were different. I thought I would have at least an option for the bedroom.I ran a hand through my hair, about to walk back into the living room when the door opened and Riley stepped into the hallway.She was surprised to see me standing there. I know she was thinking that I was standing here because of Angel but I wasn't here because of her. I had even totally forgotten that she was still in the bedroom with her.“Do you need anything? Angel is already asleep. I'm sorry I took all the time. I forgot you are waiting for us out here. You could have come in. I'm sure she w
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
