Laurent's POV “What did you just say?” I wasn't sure that I heard correctly so I had to ask him again just to be sure that we were on the same page. It would not be good for me to jump to a conclusion, and assume that he is telling me to give him his blessings for him to get married to Riley; a woman whom I had just admitted to him that I don't want him to have anything to do with since I know Riley wasn't was it in love with him. I don't know what he means by saying that both of them are in love, but the woman who I once knew and was once my friend doesn't lie to me.“I am asking you to give me your blessings for me to go ahead and get married to Riley. We have agreed on the wedding date. I just want you to know about this since you're the Alpha of the pack and you are the only family that I have left. It won't be good for you not to know and for you to keep in the dark '' He said in a heartbeat.I was confused, has he not been listening to me while I've been talking? I just told hi
Riley's PovTo say that I was angry was an understatement, it wasn't just because of his stupid plans to get married to me but because of the Alpha who had stopped me from getting back to the kitchen. Nothing could be used to describe what I thought at that moment. I just wanted to smash his head against the wall when he asked me what I was doing in Richard's room. What was he thinking? does he think that everyone is just like him who goes around sleeping around.Okay, that might be a little bit exaggerated since the Alpha has not looked at any other woman ever since Zara died in the woods.“Riley, what has been and what happened to Lucia? Why is everyone acting up? Why is Lucia suddenly acting strange? She's asking for the rest of the day off, that's unlike her, and besides she went up to go find you, so what happened? How come you never came down with her? How come she's walking like she's a ghost”I was not surprised that Lucia did not tell her anything. I know that she would not d
Silas's POVTo say that I was disappointed was an understatement, I was confused and ashamed of her at that moment. Of all the men in the pack she had to get involved with, it had to be Richard, the same man who had humiliated her and whipped her while she was in the dungeon.I loved Riley but at that moment, I could not condone what she had done, not just because of my nephew but because of my niece as well who was missing. She should be thinking about getting her, we need to find a way to make sure that we bring her back home, and not her thinking about getting married to Richard. I accepted Nobert since he was a good man and a man of honor in the pack, but Richard was always known to be a fat ass loser who doesn't value anyone and disrespected his elders.He has belittled her right before me so many times, and I called her names as well. I wonder why she was trying to squeeze herself next to him, was it for money or what? I just couldn't tell.“Is it true? Are you planning on getti
Silas POV“Zander, you are home. I did not know that you were around. I thought you went out to the Alpha's house. How come you're back and your brother didn't know about it” I was surprised to see him. I realized that something must be wrong since he had a bandage wrapped around his head. He must have gotten this injury when he went over to the Alpha's house. I wouldn't think he got into a fight with the Alpha. My nephew wasn't that stupid.Looking into his eyes I could see the pain buried deep in those dimmed beautiful Gray eyes of his.Zander was a very handsome man, many women were chasing after him when he was still living with his father before his demise. However, Zander doesn't look at any other, the only one who has caught his eyes in a long while has been Riley. That woman made him so crazy that I don't even recognize my nephew. Sometimes, when it comes to Riley, Zander is willing to go the extra mile, he can do just about anything just so he could have her. Seeing him star
Zander's POVFor a moment, I could not bring myself to speak as I looked at my uncle wondering if he was just trying to pull a fast one on me. But then, Uncle wasn't the kind of man to crack jokes, silly jokes that he knew were going to only get me pissed off. It made my blood boil that I will have to charge toward Riley and make her give me an explanation of why she was trying to give herself to the very man who had tried to force herself on him more than once.“Are you trying to pull a fast one on me?”“I wish I was but what I just told you is the truth, back at the Mansion. The Alpha has refused to give each Richard his blessings because he doesn't want her to get married to Riley. He confronted Riley right away, trust me he was not happy. I don't know what happened, but Riley is being adamant about getting married to him. I don't know what to think anymore I have to leave there in a hurry because I could not see how with that pastor who doesn't deserve her” Looking at my Uncle, he
Zander's POVThat was all I needed for his approval and blessings so that's when I got to the Alpha's house. I will not get afraid. Even though I was the Beta, I was treated less than anyone else, and I did not care about that since I already knew what my problem was. He doesn't trust me, anymore ever since I went over to my mother's pack and I don't blame you for it. After I returned I was different. All I cared about was winning Riley over and making sure that she fell head over heels in love with me. Most times I no longer take part in matters regarding the pack and the region. I do know I no longer attend the pack meeting and I no longer participate in any activity. It does not concern me, I want to find our daughter and make sure that we are happy.“Are you okay?” my brother asked. He has been glancing at me ever since we arrived at the Alpha's house, and I know what he was thinking. My Uncle had warned us not to cause havoc. I know he was talking about me since Jason was not goi
Riley's POVI know what I was doing was wrong, that was the only way that I could express myself and make him realize that I did not mean any of the things that I had said to Silas. I know he must have told him the truth and he was here because he had heard that I was getting married to Richard. However, that marriage wasn't my dream but a marriage of convenienceIn a million years, I will not have realized that I'll be getting married to Richard or that I'll be planning a wedding together with him. Nevertheless, now that it has already happened there was nothing more that I could do than accept this horrible truth. But that doesn't mean that I will not be able to continue to love the man that I truly care about. All I wanted was to be with Zander, but if I can't do that, that only means that Richard should not expect that I would be happy because I was not going to be happy at all.“Is the Alpha aware of this marriage?” He asked and I nodded my head. Of course Alpha Laurent was aware
Zander's POVI looked up only to see Laurent glaring at Riley. I wonder what she did to him, and why he was acting this way. I understood that he was angry that Riley was trying to get married to his cousin, but that does not mean that he should be rude to her. Laurent and I are no longer friends. I no longer like him at all. All I know is that when I see him I only feel nothing. Sometimes, I want to talk to him and other times, I know how he is. He would only ignore me and try to act arrogant so I let him go.“You two, I knew you two were together yet you are trying to fool Richard. What is it that he sees in you? What is it that everyone sees in you? What is it that makes you so special that you will make all the men want to chase after you, Riley? How dare you do this to my cousin”She rolled her eyes and scoffed. “What I have with Richard shouldn't be your concern, and I know that you are not interested in your cousin. Don't care about him so stop acting as if you do because that
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
