Maeve's POV When the day draws to another crimson-gray day, the bright lights emit from the curtains and shine into my eyes. My eyes lazily opened up and the musky scent lingered in my nose.The scent was strong and luring. I haven't felt anything like this before, even when I was with Alphonso, it was so strong that it made my eyes wide open. It awakened my senses, and I felt strength slipping through me once again. What was this? Was it another mate Bond? Alphonso was the only one who was my mate but then He betrayed me by sleeping with my sister and tried to kill me with his right-hand man. He was into all manner of shady deals but I kept quiet about it hoping that he would change, he did not change at all. What he said ripped my heart apart with his bare hands.When I opened my eyes and saw the intense gaze on me, I realized that the handsome man with jet black hair and Emerald green eyes had that scent and I swallowed. As if he was feeling the same thing that I was feeling as we
Maeve's POVHe chased after me as I ran so fast I did not bother looking back, my heart beating heavily. I wondered what was wrong with him and why he was chasing after me as if I had taken something from him.Perhaps the weird Alpha whom I had met earlier sent him to take care of me? He said that I should not cross his part and I had tried not to cross his back path so why was this just chasing after me, I ran as fast as I could into a room and shut the door. I did not bother looking back. “What the hell are you doing in here?” when I heard that voice, I froze, the voice was way too close and way too familiar as well. Right there, I did not know if I should turn around and look at the figure who had said that or if I should just stand dead in my track. The first one sounded like a bad idea and the second one wasn't any good either, so many things ran through my mind. I wondered what I would do in such moments. However, when the door opened, the old man walked into the room. I moved
Silas POVI looked at her. She did not look like the type of woman who would want to come here only to spy. It was suspicious that the Alpha thought that of her, but then I was glad that a woman like her could come and talk to him in that manner. It has been so long since someone put him in his place, ever since Zara died I was the only one who could talk to Alpha Laurent, and he could listen. However, today I saw something else, perhaps it was because even though he denied it, they were still mates, and she was the only one who could make Jess wake up. That was something I had yearned for, for so long and I thought that the moon goddess would not do it. Nevertheless, a part of me still felt as if he was to get another mate, he was just not going to accept it, since Zara was the only woman that he loved lost and he might not be able to love another. “So my child, don't be scared of the Alpha. I know that he might be the big scary guy everyone runs away from, but he's not that bad. A
Maeve's POV“Every day it is Riley this or Riley that, it is not as if she's some saint” I heard her mumble under her breath and I know he heard her as well. Silas chose to keep quiet. I wonder who this Riley was and where she went to. If she wasn't around where would she go? I thought maidservants in the house don't often go out.But when I was still Luna the maidservants could only live in the house if they found their mate and the Alpha approved of their dismissal. Otherwise, they are going to stay there and serve the Alpha until he is satisfied. Alphonso wasn't a wicked Alpha at that time, and so he always granted his maidservants the right to leave the house. I wonder when he turned this evil and became wicked. I thought that he was going to make me forget all the trouble I had when I was growing up, but then he did not, instead, he added to it and turned into a beast.“If Riley was here she wouldn't mumble like a coward, she would have at least said it out loud you know. She is
Avery's POVWhen I saw him walking into the house, I rushed down the stairs, he was the only one who kept me waiting all this time. I have been trying to know what's happened with her, and if he finally killed her off just like we ordered. However, when I saw him walking inside with a smile glued to his face, I frowned, this was the first time I had seen this bastard smiling. He was just a loyal dog, who worked with Alphonso, so I never liked him because he gave me the creeps. I was always looking as if he could wrestle an alligator.“What happened to Maeve?”He looked around. He was trying to check if the coast was clear, but I wasn't scared if anyone heard what we did to him. I was going to do away with them. It was only the maidservants, so it was easy for me to slit their throats or break their necks. They are nothing, I bet they don't even have a family that will come and claim their dead body, which is why they were all buried in one place; the common grave for weak omega's. I w
Avery's POVTo say that I was angry was an understatement, I looked down on him because he deserved it. He was nothing but a common henchman. However, the only one that I had to blame for all of this was Alphonso, he was the only one who had given his wretched henchman Scar the liberty to talk to me in that manner. If you hadn't given him that power, he would have shut his mouth and know better than to talk back at me. I needed to confirm that my stupid sister was dead. That was all I needed from him, and yet they didn't mind that he left me in the dark.After calling me a tramp no one has crossed that line not even Alphonso or my worthless sister who I hope is rotting in hell next to her miserable mother.Anger seeped through me as I walked into his study. There was so much that I wanted to say to him but seeing him sitting there staring at my photo I was disgusted. I thought everything would be alright by getting rid of my sister but now, she was gone, I was wrong. It was not bett
Avery's POVWhen he noticed that I was smiling sinisterly, he glared at me and I closed the door so that no one would interrupt us. I know Alphonso, he would not come back again. He would stay in his study. I have known him long enough that I would study him so well that I know his next move even before he made it. He was going to sit in the study and drink a lot and then he was going to come up with a good gift to appease me. He knew that I was mad at him and I blamed him for Scar’s disrespect. He was going to do everything to get back on my good side, that was the only way that I could ever have sex with him again, otherwise, he knew that I was never going to open my leg.That was how it had been even before my stupid sister died. She just did not realize that the times her husband was leaving at night he was always coming to me for us to have fun. I loved fun especially when it had to do dirty and naughty Alphonso Loves dirty talk.“You shouldn't have disrespected me, now look at w
Maeve's POVIt was the dawn of another day, I sat by the windowsill afraid. I wasn't sure if I should come out of my room or if I should stay in. But then when my stomach made a funny sound, I knew I had to come out and head for the kitchen in case I had to help them as well. There must be so much to do. This wasn't my house and even though the Alpha of this back turned out to be my mates I am not going to relax and do nothing as if I was already the Luna.When I walked out of the room, my heart raced. A part of me wanted for me to go back and sit back there while waiting for Silas to show up. However, another knew that I needed to gather up my strength and head down, besides I was not even sure if I was going to show up. He did not tell me if he was coming or not, all he told me was that this was my pack and I needed to make things right so, I was just going to sit here and wait for him if he showed up, that is perfect, but if he doesn't show up they have to find something to do to k
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
