Maeve's POVI don't know what was worse, was it the noise that I was hearing or the fact that I was scared? My heart was racing.Nothing could be used to describe what I felt at that moment as I looked at Silas. He looked pretty calm working through the dark hallway, there was no picture on the wall except for the picture of the woman in the big portrait. Her skin was fair and milky, her long hair cascading over her shoulders as her eyes shone brightly through the pictures, you could tell that she was a real beauty when she was still here.“Who is she?” I couldn't help but ask that question her eyes pierced straight through mine, and I just could not tell why I was suddenly curious, no one had stroked my sense of curiosity aside from Riley. It wasn't because I imagined what she looked like when she walked into the kitchen, but it was the fact that she was the only one who Silas and Richard kept talking about, it made me want to see what makes her different from the rest of them. No on
Laurent's POVWhen I saw her running upstairs, I laughed. It was good that she found herself and escaped, otherwise, I would have used this sword on her.Whenever I see her I remember the moon goddess betrayed me and gave me another mate. when I did not ask for it. I just wanted to see Zara, she is the only woman that I have ever loved. I wished that I could go back to the day that she died. I would have to know who was behind it all. Zara always complained that she received threatening letters, I don't know who wrote to her. I don't know why they were after her life. I wished I could have known who ‘J’ was, then perhaps I would know how to look for him, and I would have given him a taste of his own medicine, all I know was the inscription on the letters J.“Clean up this mess and throw his body out into the river, he doesn't deserve a proper funeral, someone who is a traitor and a thief should not be in this pack and does not deserve a service. They should serve as a warning to the r
Laurent's POVI looked at Silas, he shot a glance at me and I nodded my head. He walked to the door and opened the door. I wonder who must have tried to chase after me just after I had killed off that man. The person must have an audacity or something otherwise he wouldn't have even dared to come close to me. No one in history who has stories about me would do this. No one has been coming close to me they saw me kill a little boy who once threw his knife at me. The only one who could be there to come closer Silas, and then my cousin, Richard was always defiant. But I always push him away, but I am not scared of him I know what I would do if I found that Richard was trying to betray me, it was pretty obvious.When Silas opened the door revealing that old woman who was working in the kitchen, what was her name again? Lucia, who was always trembling anytime she came close to me. I know that I was the only one who was making her tremble, but then, I couldn't care much about her she was on
Laurent POVWhen he left I knew that he was angry at me, and I could not blame him for it. What I had done was something that he did not think that I would do since I was always saying yes to him. if anyone else had said that to me I would have punished them without blinking an eye. I was the Alpha he had no such power to say no to me.Silas was tactful, he chose not to disrespect me which was why he could only just frown his face. He knew I'd have to do this on my own since he was already gone. I had to go to the orphanage I hadn't been there in many years since that place was crowded with a lot of children, who reminded me that my son was dead once again.However, the council of Elders had grieved with me back then, I'm still bereaved over the death of Zara but that is not an excuse for me to keep skipping visitations to the orphanage, and seeing what Beta Zander had been doing.Looking around, I realized that I had to appear before those female werewolves taking care of those child
Laurent's POVWith that, I got into the car after getting dressed. I had Lucia send some beautiful gowns to her room, she was already beautiful so it wouldn't be a problem changing into anything, her body was already starting to adjust to it since she had a body to die for, but then, I was not interested in all those things. I wasn't seeing her at all, perhaps, I had not taken anyone too seriously since Zara was once in my life, I was not looking at any other woman, and certainly not her.When she got into the car, the driver drove off heading towards the orphanage. It was boring coming here and having to see all the kids looking at him waiting for me to hand over my phone, candy, or sweets. Those little kids in this place make me so sick that I want to just kill them off and never come back here again, but since I was the Alpha, it was just part of my duty to always come to this side of the city to make sure that it was well protected, and no one was trying to abduct any child to har
Maeve's POVWhen I heard what he said, I was also surprised that anyone wanted to adopt such a cute girl. However, he already did what was bad in front of him, he was not the kind of man who would want to take any child home, and he did not seem kindhearted and easy to love. He was a difficult and obstinate man and so I do not assume he will make such a decision at such a short moment. What was he thinking? I would love to take her home and I really wanted to as well but then, I considered so many things. I didn't have a house and the place I was residing wasn't even mine. It was the house of the Alpha and he could decide to kick me out at any time.However when he said that I could not help but laugh. It was uncontrollable and before he could even fight on what was happening, the women who were standing around smiled as well. I'm sure they must have read what was in my mind, Alpha Laurent accepting to adopt a little girl he saw on the tree that was some news.He would never do that,
Maeve's POVHe wanted me to be her nanny, was he out of my mind for asking me such a silly favor? He knew very well that I was going to disagree. I would never let myself be subjected to such disgrace, it was never going to happen. I am never going to be in a position in which I will have to be someone's nanny, and of all, it has to be the little girl who was fond of me. She looked up at him and without saying a word, he stared right back at us. He couldn't even laugh, how could he possibly think that he could take care of this child?I bet he doesn't even know what fatherhood means and hasn't even been a father to anyone, so how come he wants to take her home so eagerly? I know he stated that he wanted her as a sister but it was still the same thing. She was still a little girl. I'm sure she should be five or thereabout, and she doesn't need someone who scolds her or frowns at her all the time. Alpha Laurent doesn't even smile. I don't think he even knows if that word is in his dicti
Maeve's POVWhen I had her speak up, for a moment I did not bring myself to open my mouth to say anything. Looking into her eyes, she blinked her eyes rapidly and I knew what she was thinking. She must have thought that I was glad she spoke up when it was only the two of us, but I wasn't. Not that I wasn't happy, I am but then I'll also be happier if she speaks in front of everyone else so that they don't look down on her.“Pretty wow, what is that? Is that the name you would like them to be calling you or what?” I run my fingers through her hair. It was perfect, I wonder who have combed it so perfectly like thisHowever, I was disappointed once again as she kept quiet and did not say anything. I thought she spoke up to me a while ago, and now she was keeping quiet. Before she could say anything, the door opened and Laurent walked into the room, I am sure that she had gotten everything in place and was now ready to take her home. Nevertheless, I did not think she was ready to go back
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
