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
Richard's POVHearing the sound of the door open, I got down from the bed and stood behind the door, aware of who was making her way inside the room. When the familiar figure walked into the room I rushed up to her and wrapped my arms around her neck, slammed her against the wall. She had ruined my plans earlier by suddenly showing up when I had not invited her, and screaming like a fool that was not part of the plan. She was only to come and take a video at discretion so that I would use it again Riley later in the future but Hannah, that stupid woman has to show her ugly face.“What are you doing?”“Why did you do it? Why did you go out of plan and do something stupid, didn't I tell you to just follow my plans, wasn't the instructions clear enough?”“She was beating the crap out of”“Shut your f** mouth, because of you the situation escalated and my dumb cousin had to show up and have her thrown in the dungeon. Did I tell you that I needed to punish her in that manner? Because of yo
Riley's POVI was dozing off in the dungeon when I heard two steps approaching. I rolled my eyes, this was the last thing that I needed. I thought Sokasy was my last visit for the day.I was not in the mood to receive another guest, I wished whoever was coming in would just turn back and head back to where they came from.“Riley” when I heard that familiar voice closing in on me, I groaned momentarily, could this day get any worse? First I was set up by those two bastards, and now, I have to endure having to stay here with Zander. He was the last person I needed right now to come visit me. He had a temperament and would want answers. He was the only one who knew of my ordeal with Richard and hearing that I stabbed the bastard, there was a lot to explain and I wasn't in for storytelling.When he rushed up to me, he embraced me tightly, squeezing me in his arms. I thought that I would suffocate. At that moment I couldn't exactly push him away since my hands were abounded with shackles.
Zander's POV“What the hell are you talking about, you bastard? She's not going to stay by Your side. Riley doesn't belong to you, you have no right to tell her what to do or what she shouldn't do”“I suppose Riley can speak for herself and shouldn't you be helping my cousin in the affairs of the pack, what are you still doing here? You obviously don't have what it takes to be a Beta let alone be the man in her life, get lost, go find your levels”“You are the one who shouldn't be the man in her life!”“Will the both of you shut the hell up?” I could tell she was frustrated with the yelling and echoing through the dungeon. If she wasn't bound to the shackle she would have run her hand through her hair, staring at me for a moment, she lowered her gaze and looked at Richard. It was pretty obvious that she wasn't happy with his presence in the dungeon. I wondered what made her stab him. It wasn't that the bastard didn't deserve it, which he deserved, and even more for the pain he had ca
Zander's POVJason was pacing around anxiously in the living room when I returned back home. As soon as his eyes locked together with mine, he rushed up to me. For the past few days, we have not been talking to each other, there was no reason for us to speak to each other after the last stunt he pulled when Riley was in our house.“How is Riley? Is she going to be alright? When will she be getting out of the dungeon? What did the Alpha say he would do to her? Did she really stab Richard?” My dear brother asked all in a heartbeat there was so much that has changed in him these last few years we've been apart. I was worried and jealous over his closeness and anxious state towards Riley.“She shouldn't be your problem, you should focus on your school, graduating, going to college, and finding your mate, Riley isn't your mate so you shouldn't ask after her at all”“I know she isn't my mate but she's my friend and I want to know what happened to her. I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my
Sila's POV“What are you talking about?”he was surprised to hear what I had said. Somewhere in his heart he hoped that I was lying but I wasn't what I had told him had been the truth.Although my nephew can be hard-headed, deceiving him was something that I will never do. He deserves the truth no matter what and I was going to tell him all about it. Riley suffered in his hands, falling for him has been her biggest mistake.When they were much stronger they looked very happy and I always rooted for them. I had thought they would get married but after Xander went away everything changed. Now Riley thought it was better.I had nothing against my nephew for sometimes he can be very unreasonable and we are trashy. However when I was told he hadn't received the letters I believed him because if there was one thing he would never do, it was to lie to me, he was everything else but never a petty liar. What could have happened to those letters? Did someone hijack it?If someone had tampered wi
Silas’ POVThe Alpha was preoccupied when I walked in on him, engrossed in whatever he was doing as I read through the document right before him.“Is that another letter from the Hunter's Pack?”“No this is something Zara wrote for me days before the rain ritual”“You miss her don't you?”“Not a day goes by that I don't think about her, no one can ever be like her. Zara is everything no other woman can ever be, Not even my own mother”The manner that he described her was endearing but then it discredited other women and the former Luna, and I did not like that. I knew Zara when she was still alive. She was a beautiful and good woman though she never got along with Riley. Riley has always been arrogant and lived in her own world; she didn't bother much about making friends or getting along with anybody; the only friends she ever had were Zander, his family and Laurent since the three made a pact. Riley did not care so much about being friends with her even though she was going to be Za
Silas's POV“Are you threatening me right now? Do you have any idea what I can do to you? You try to get on my nerves, I will get even with you if that is what you are trying to do”“You can call it whatever you want, threat, warning you just have to do it otherwise, I will be the one who will get you locked up in here. You know how the Alpha is when it comes to his Luna he's not tolerant at all. He will do away with anyone who tries to hurt her, and he has no idea what you've done. I'm sure no one knows I am the only one keeping your secret so you better meet to the end of the bargain”“This isn't over. You should know that I am not the kind of man who would be pushed around so easily and then bend to do whatever you think. I will get even with you you have no idea who you're messing with. You may have won in having Me release Riley but that doesn't mean I still can't do any other thing. I will have my way one day, one way or the other, and I will make sure that I break whatever you
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
