While we were talking about the next step, the doors swung open, revealing a disheveled and bewildered Daniel.He took one look at crying Emma, and his expression changed from confused to horrified. He slowly took in the scene unfolding in front of him, and myriads of expressions came on his face, from confusion to rage to shock. Each one is better than the last.“What is going on over here?” he asked in bewilderment.“This is what we should be asking you?” Daisy confronted him.“Excuse me? You are standing in my house and under my roof, and you are questioning me?” Daniel roared, forgetting for a minute that there were many senior officials present there.“It’s good that you know and accept the fact that it’s your roof and your house. So let me rephrase my question. Were you aware what Lizzie and Emma were doing in YOUR house?” Daisy taunted him, mockery clear in his voice.“What?” Daniel was confused but his voice wavered a little as if he was not completely unaware about it.This m
When we reached home we were welcomed very enthusiastically by Mason. Our home was full of maids and packmates, who came bearing gifts and wishes.The environment was overwhelming and I felt loved.“This is a little weird,” I told Xander through the mind link.“How so?” he asked.“Sometimes pack members look at me like they can’t believe that I am your mate and sometimes they look at me like they are blessed to have me by your side. It gives me whiplash.”This earned me a hearty laugh and I narrowed my eyes at him.“Most of my pack members just love you and some like the Elders have this notion that old traditions should be maintained and that includes my pack’s rivalry with yours. They don’t understand that I was yours the day you looked at me, in that forest,” he replied.“You tried to kill me,” I snorted at him.“No, I held you under my body, like I want you now. You felt my length and I felt your plump body, you had me under your palm.” he purred.My face reddened and I started ta
I moaned when I felt something hard pressed against my *ss, a warm hand was gripping my neck.“I am sore Xander.” I groaned as he tried to slip his hand under the blanket.“Call me, “mate”,” he growled and drew me closer to him.“What’s this sudden change?” I purred, I liked teasing him.His face scrunched and he scowled.“No change, you have always been mine, now it’s time to take what’s mine,” he growled and kissed me.I pushed him, and he groaned.“What is this Gracie,” he whined.“Be a good boy and I might give you a treat later in the night,” I said in a sultry voice, running my finger on his exposed chest.“Is that a promise,” his eyes darkened as he sn*ked his hand around my waist.“A promise that I am willing to keep,” I trailed kisses along his jaw and he cursed under his breath.“I need a cold shower,” he muttered and left.I chuckled at him.A lot of things had changed between us, and I was loving this new environment. I love how I had control over him without being an over
Xander had me pinned by the wall and was ready to devour me, but then I caught a sign of a little spark behind us, and my eyes widened.“Oh, hell, no.” I cursed under my breath.“What happened?” Xander asked and turned to look behind him.There Daisy was standing with blazing eyes and she had turned the whole tree into a pile of ashes.I rushed toward her, “What happened?” I asked her, I could feel the rage pouring from her, but when she looked at me, I was shocked.She grinned at me like nothing happened.“I powered up.” She chuckled and left the three of us with shocked expressions, but Mason was a little scared too.I wanted to ask Mason what happened but thought it was better to leave things as it is, no good would come out if we escalated things.The four of us, Me, Xander, Daisy, and Mason headed back to the courthouse. The trials were supposed to happen this afternoon, but what I found funny was Daniel was the one who would be accusing Lizzie of her crimes as if he wasn’t part
Xander looked at me worried, but before he could say, Lizzie shrieked.“What are you saying?” Her confusion was evident, but her anger was roaring in the courtroom.As the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, my father, Daniel, possessed the power to compel truth-telling within his territory, a power he had hidden well from those outside the pack. The courtroom held its collective breath as he unleashed this formidable ability on Lizzie.I remember when I was kid I told him to teach me this ability and he lovingly patted my head and promised that he would teach me when I was old enough. It was back then when he loved me and my mother. He adored me and was ready to die for me, but then everything changed, once Lizzie entered his life.“As you are not aware of this then let me tell you. I have the ability to compel people to confess the truth. The only problem is that I can’t do anything of people who don’t belong to my pack. But as you have stated earlier that you are my wife, then surely you
But instead of answers, Daniel was greeted with another mocking laughter.“What do you think you are doing over here, Daniel? You are doing nothing but digging your own grave. Instead of asking me the questions, why don’t you ask them to yourself, and let’s be honest, we both know what the consequences would be if you did that.” her vicious words dripped with venom.Daniel growled his anger evident in his voice, but it was his wolf whose rage was filling the environment. It was as if his wolf was in the front seat of this trial, and not the man.“Stop this fu*king act. You are a hypocrite Daniel. Do you think I used some magic to make you lose your mate, yeah maybe I did. But you were the one who gave me that ammunition. Do you think I would be that stupid to attack a pack’s Luna, no my first choice was someone else completely, but I saw that you wanted an out when Ariana got weaker. It was you, who gave me this whole idea. So I did just that. You wanted a stronger mate, you wanted to
The werewolf Council entered the room, their glare was fixed on Logan who was daring to attack Lizzie, being completely aware that she was under Council’s law. This was a transgression and one that the Werewolf council would never tolerate.One of the Council member’s voices echoed in the hall, making sure that we knew our places. We might have uncovered a deadly plan against the werewolf community but that didn’t make us immune to the existing law of the council. We were still part of the community and were accountable for our actions.I looked at Logan and his furious expressions, currently he wasn’t in his right mind. And if the council and the court get to know that he killed his sister, this would make matters worse, because they would not understand nor would care that he was manipulated by Lizzie’s dark magic. There was only one fate waiting for him and that was punishment.He had already lost a lot of things under Lizzie’s influence and I would not let him lose more. Not becau
We were going back home. The ride back home was filled with a mixture of emotions. We were happy but also a little worried after the incident."I can't believe they're not executing them immediately," Daisy grumbled, her voice laced with frustration. "This isn't over. I'm worried that their confinement might give them a chance to plan something. Lizzie is a hell of a dangerous woman."I understood Daisy's worry, and her words resonated with the fears that many shared. "Daisy, you have to trust in the council’s judgment," I said, trying to re*ssure her. "Their detention location is extremely remote and heavily guarded by soldiers. It's the most secure place in our world. They won't be able to escape. Hopefully" I added, because nothing was sure.But Daisy remained skeptical, her brow furrowed. "I get it, but Lizzie is someone who is the master of manipulation. If she could make Daniel’s wolf disappear, who knows what she's capable of, even in that prison?"I sighed, realizing the gravi
