Zander's POVToday was the last day that I will get to be staying over here with Riley. Although our little vacation was coming to an end I was glad we have made a lot of friends that we never expected and Riley has been smiling non-stop and never thought that I would get to see a day in which I'll make her smile once again. This vacation proved to be a good one and I wished Alpha Laurent would give us more vacation like this.Leaning against the door while watching her as she read through the last part of her speech that she was going to present today to the werewolf community before we start leaving tomorrow. We have to drive miles back to the pack and I will have to contend with such men like Richard and Laurent. The two of them were really making Riley's life a living hell. I don't know what to do, Laurent was the Alpha, and it was only my uncle that could talk to him, but I doubt my uncle will be able to stop him or at least plead with him to let Riley go. If he accepts, Riley a
Riley's POVThis was wrong of me to do since I know that once we get back home everything that happened was going to be in the past. Going back home everything would be complicated. So many problems were going to arise and I know. I was a very complicated werewolf, and had a lot going on in her life. On one hand was Richard, choosing the easy to get rid of him. He is never going to accept that I get married to Zander, he cannot see me with any other person except for himself. The other hand was Nobert, getting rid of him will not be that difficult. I have always seen him as my friend but only accepted to get married to him because he kept pushing me and I thought like he was the only one who cared about me at that moment.But now, I am here with Zander, I feel different. I'll be lying to the moon goddess if I don't admit that I want him perhaps, I was never over him, my feelings for him were still there, it was growing stronger. Biting gently on his lower lips, I was hoping for him
Silas's POVThis was the first time my heart was racing as I walked to Alpha Laurent’s study. He was my friend and I could talk to him, but telling him to release Grace for what she has done seems a little bit too difficult for me to handle.I know he was going to listen to me, but I wouldn't want him to think that I was equally challenging his rulership, and always advising him to do the right thing, Alpha Laurent doesn't want to be the good guy anymore, neither does he want to be the best Alpha in the entire region. He wanted to be feared and that was my fear as well. I don't want his hands to be tainted with blood, I don't want him to do things that he was going to regret in the future. He has a sister now to take care of, aside from that, he has a pack to lead. If he continues going down this path, he is slightly going to face greater pain, and I'm not talking about the pain he inflicted by the council of elders, but the pain that he's going to inflict on himself if he sits back
Laurent's POVSilas was the only one who could get me to bend my rules, and accept his advice. He was always coming to me whenever he felt like I was making a wrong decision. He wasn't one of those who would hide in the shadows being so scared of me like a coward.However what that woman did was something unforgivable and unforgettable, letting it go meant that I was weak. I would never want to be considered weak anymore else my enemies would think that I was weak. They were going to use it against me. I don't want to be in a position in which I'll be vulnerable and they will strike like they did in the past, trying to take away my child and my Luna. Although, I have no child or to fight for, I had Angel, and I have my pack as well, and I haven't gotten my revenge on the man who took away Zara's life.I watched him as he walked out of the study, shutting the door right behind it. So many things run through my mind, I wouldn't say that he was right because I was not scared of the coun
Laurent's POVWhen the familiar figure moved closer into the living room, her eyes shined brightly. I could tell Jared was lost in those little eyes. He has not seen a little girl so beautiful yet cute. I was angry that she had shown herself. I wonder where she was going and where Maeve was. I thought she was always around the little child. A smile lingered on his lips. I thought that he had made up his mind that he was going to leave, and now he was coming back again.Jared was annoying me and I was this close to losing my temper and cutting off his head with my hands, such a man like him does not deserve to live.He wasn't fond of babies at all, he was only fond of his daughter Kate. I heard that at some point he tried to deny his daughter since the woman who had given birth to her had gotten pregnant when they were fooling around as teenager's. However since her family was well influential within the state and had money, he couldn't deny it and so Jared had to forcefully marry her.
Kate's POVI was sitting in front of the vanity mirror staring at the reflection of myself through the mirror. I was still the spitting image of my mother and that made me smile. She was the only one I've ever loved ever since I was a little girl.It was so hard for me to say goodbye to her that very day. It had been a day after the harvest moon and after the Alpha had slayed many of the enemy, while bathing in their blood. I don't like Alpha Laurent at all. He reminded me so much of my father and his siblings who find delight in other people's death so that they would drink other people's blood as if it was wine.That frightened me a lot and I almost ran away from home. However, I knew that running was pointless, my father would find me. He called me his most precious possession, and he has never failed to live up to that name ever since then. Most times he invites me to the ball and to parties with him so that he can introduce me to some of his friends with Rich sons. He wants me to
Kate's POV When I heard that name, fear cast through my body. This was not the first time I was Hearing him talking about him. I knew who he was talking about, it was the red dragon. I don't know who exactly was the man behind that black hood and dragon plated ring he always wears. My father has never introduced me to him even when he asked me to tag along with him to the woods. He did not bother letting me out of the car, he asked the bodyguards to keep watch over me and then he walked over into the foggy woods to go see him. They spent hours talking. I only knew he was a man because of the gifts he had brought for him, it was a male perfume and body spray. On my own, I have tried to do some digging about the red dragon but there was nothing that I have found. All I realized was that he was a cold blooded killer. The man who had introduced my father to the dragon himself had been killed, apparently, he got some grudge against the Alpha. I don't know about it and I don't really car
Kate's POVI know the lion has done something, otherwise, he wouldn't be here. He wasn't a good friend of my father, he was one of the Alpha's great supporters and his advisor, so he has no business or connection with my father. However, seeing him here I wasn't bothered. I've always been looking for the chance to speak to Silas alone without the maidservants walking around to glance at me as if we are doing something wrong, and without my father looking at me wondering if I favor Silas over him.All these things put me off and make me not tell the truth. I always wanted to tell him about the red dragon. I wanted to give him a heads up about my father and everything he was planning, so I knew I needed to thread carefully otherwise if my father is to learn of my plan for him, I am very sure that he is going to punish me for what I was planning. I don't know what he will do to me or to Richard as well. He was the one person I wanted to protect at all costs.“Yes the lion had come to the
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
