CHAPTER 4 BRYAN’S POV She continued to stare at the pictures in front of her I did not want to make things worse so I didn’t see anything yet. But the fact that she’s seeing The truth now it’s making me feel at ease. I always knew that’s good for nothing idiot was up to no good. Yes I do come from the worst pack around and everyone else ask it to associate with us. Who cares about all that? My pack isn’t all that bad though. She is very beautiful and I can’t take my eyes of her it is quite strange that we only get to meet now. I’ve been with her almost all her life but she didn’t know that. Not exactly all her life, but for a few years now. Of course I have not been stalking her, I’ve just been do you know what I am supposed to do as her mate. Looking out for her even though she’s annoying and I am not in love with her. I’m just doing what my father asked me to do before he died. I found out she was my mate when I shifted a few years later. Then I have been seeing what is
EMILLE’S POV I opened the bathroom door and walked in. I don’t know why I came here in the first place. He has a jacuzzi tub? I’m getting in here. I’m so embarrassed and I pretended to forget everything but he caught my lie. I don’t know what I am doing with the one who practically ruined everything for me. I walked into the tub naked and laid there, reflecting on what happened to me in the past few days. I should have believed Alpha Bryan when he was telling me the truth. Aiden did betray me. He was cheating on me all along right behind my back. I didn’t expect him to be doing it with someone so stupid. ~~~~~ FLASHBACK ~~~~~I didn’t see him after leaving the Diamond pack. I went home and stayed in my room till the next day. I went to check on him again but he refused to see me, saying he’s still mad. I noticed that my cousin kept laughing at me this time around. Until I finally broke the rules and barged into his bedroom when I went there. I had prepared beforeha
AIDEN’S POV “Where do you think she is? I have no idea where to think of anymore. Her only female friend is not even around. She’s studying abroad.” Alpha Logan asked worriedly. I didn’t know what else to say as I kept quiet. I shouldn’t have done everything from the start. I should have been more patient with her and waited till she was ready. I’ve caused her family to worry now because I came to ask for her whereabouts. In the past, she would tell me where she is currently even if she doesn’t tell anyone else. We’re much closer than anyone thinks but now, I don’t like what is happening. I messed up, she found me out. I didn’t send my Beta to stab her. He did it out of defense but I was worried something else would happen. What if she goes home wounded? I have to pretend I don’t know what happened to her. They looked for her where she was kept but she’s not there anymore. I should have been more careful till I got what I wanted from her. She must have been helped by some
EMILLE’S POV I can’t believe my father is in support of that liar. I’ve been with Aiden all my life yet he didn’t even hesitate to kill me the second he felt like he needed to. Now he’s angry and is claiming me as his? I wonder if he thinks I’m a toy to joke around with. My brother came back in after he left. Winner is the only one who understands me, I used to think Aiden did too. He never judges me without hearing my own side of the story first. He scolds me when it’s necessary but not to the extent of saying things that would hurt my feelings like my father and Kane do. He’s the next Alpha king after my father steps down and I know he’ll do great. He’s very strong and kind, this is the kind of leader our pack needs. Not someone as selfish as Kane. “You know you can talk to me right? Tell me what exactly is going on between the both of you.” He sat down beside me. I sighed, “You know I can’t lie to you either. You’re the only one who understands me most of the time.
EMILLE’S POV Everyone rushed to help my father while I just stood there unable to move. I never thought this would happen to my father in front of me. After regaining myself, I ran out of the house into the woods. I didn’t stop running as I used all my strength to run. I finally stopped when I was almost out of breath. I stopped in front of the mansion, I ran inside after resting a bit. Luckily I met Bryan coming downstairs, I jumped on him without thinking and started crying. The thought of losing my father brought out my soft side and I can’t control my emotions. He didn’t push me off either, I just stayed there and cried on his shoulders. I should be embarrassed but now is not the time to be. He just comforted me for a little while and tried to help me calm down before asking me anything. I thought they said this guy was a jerk and he didn’t care about anyone’s feelings? That’s totally wrong this time, or is he really doing this because he wants something from me? “
BRYAN’S POV This is a huge mess. What the hell happened? I watched as she was taken away. I thought I didn’t like this girl? Why do I feel this way watching her being treated like that? I’m not attracted to her. I am only with her for the benefits but I doubt that now. I faced her brothers after she was gone. “She was with me the whole time. She only came home because she was having a bad feeling. Do you think she would make it that obvious if she really did it?” I asked Alpha Kane. I know their names because I know everyone in their family. Something doesn’t feel right about this incident. Why is her brother bent on blaming her even though she kept pleading innocent? Knowing the kind of girl she is, I don’t think she’s that stupid to implicate herself. He scoffed, “This is a matter within the pack and has nothing to do with you. Why don’t you go back to your own pack and watch over your own people?” “She asked for my help. I have to get involved because yo
EMMILE’S POVI’m still staying in the cell waiting for my brother like the guard said. I didn’t see him for a long time and it’s already getting late I guess. They didn’t even check on me, does this mean that I’ll pay for what I didn’t do? Just when I thought that my brother would not be coming anymore, I saw the door open and he came in with a sly smile on his face. If he's smiling now, then it means that my father is alright. "If you're here now, does this mean father is okay now? How is he? Can he talk now?" I asked him. He scoffed and walked around the cell with his hands behind his back, then he stopped to face me. "Even if he is okay, he is still unconscious and unable to speak. We have done much investigation and someone has to pay for this." He replied showing his anger. "And that person has to be me? Even though you know I didn't do it, you still want to blame me your only sister for this?" I questioned unable to believe what he's saying. "What exac
- FLASHBACK HIGHLIGHT -"Are you sure this plan is going to work?" Alpha Logan asked his youngest son, Kane. Kane nodded, "Of course dad. Trust me, she will have no idea what is going on. This is our only chance to bring her back in place. All the odds will be against her, there will be no chance for her to do anything at all. Then she will fulfill all our wishes." Alpha Logan, Alpha Aiden, Alpha Winner and Alpha Kane are all seated, having a meeting on how to stop the troublesome princess from causing trouble in the pack by going to marry Alpha Bryan. Aiden is more interested in all of this, he still doesn't want Emille to spit anything out. Her father may not even believe her at this point. "Are you serious? You want to go that extent to prove your disgust for your daughter? Can't you just be happy for her once?" Winner protested, hating the stupid plan his brother made. He didn't want to be there especially knowing they are not talking about pack matters, but Emille. His
EMILLE'S POV ~ YEARS LATER ~"Where the hell is Nora hiding? That disobedient and rebellious child! I'm going to deal with her today!" I shouted around, looking for my last child, who is also my only daughter.I'm holding a large whip that I'm going to use to teach her a lesson today. This is my first time doing this. The house has always been pampering her, and now she doesn't know her place. I'm going to make sure she doesn't cause trouble for anyone anymore!I don't know why she's so rebellious and troublesome. She doesn't listen to me. She already has more than enough situations to put her in a gentle place, but she is always so troublesome. I know I always encourage her to stand up for herself, but this is way too much."Mom, you can't find her anywhere. She's not at home right now. She's probably out again causing trouble," my eldest son, Nathan, said, coming with his brother, Jaden, who is my second child."That's because everyone pampers her, and she has become a spoiled brat
~ FINALLY MARRIED ~EMILLE'S POV (A FEW MONTHS LATER)"Are you eating a cake right now when it's supposed to be your wedding day?" Selene asked when she caught me eating cake in my dressing room. I couldn't stop my cravings so I sneakily tried to eat them before anyone else would come in. But she has been watching me for over a day that I can't eat whatever I want. I didn't know getting prepared for a wedding would be so tiring—to the extent that I can't act recklessly or taste whatever I want because I have to be elegant on my wedding day, which is also my coronation day as the Luna of the Diamond Pack."I made sure it didn't get on my dress. I can't stop my cravings. I mean, who else am I supposed to blame for this?" I replied, trying to get myself out of it.She frowned. "You can't keep blaming the baby every time you do this. I think you like sweets more than the baby.""I didn't really like eating sweet things until I got pregnant, so I have no one else to blame but the baby a
~ BECOMING THE LUNA ~EMILLE'S POV It was such a tiring event, having to fight that guy altogether and save everyone. Though we couldn't save our father, we took it as his sacrifice for everything to get better. At least everything returned to its place, and my uncle will be getting his judgment for being involved in this.I haven't seen Bryan for exactly a month now. We've only been talking on the phone because we both have busy schedules. I've got a lot to do because I am going to be the new leader of our Pack. I needed some time to adjust, and he was too busy with his businesses, which he has been neglecting since he met me.He had been traveling around, and I missed him a lot. We had a lot of misunderstandings since the incident, but it doesn't stop us from growing together. So much has happened, yet so little has been fixed. It will take a long time to repair all the things that were damaged.We were finally able to lay my father to rest a month ago, and I will be concerned with
~ FIGHTING THE COMMON ENEMY ~EMILLE'S POV I knew he could read minds and every little details so I tried not to move. Guess who can block someone from trying to read their thoughts? That's me. He's not the only one with powers extraordinary. Besides, they're not that impressive if he's using shady means anyways. What makes him feel good about that? I couldn't alert him as it's going to make my finishing look bad. While he was busy laughing at Bryan, I already healed from his poison a long time ago. I just wanted to wait for the right opportunity before doing anything. He's not even impressive to be honest.I know his secret. He has a natural talent of reading and controlling people. That's how he was able to use their inner desires to control them under the guise of trying to help them. "Do you still not know what I want?" Sean asked Bryan. "My pack? Are you even worthy?" Bryan fired at him. He scoffed, "What do you think? I want to play a game with you today. I wonder who's mo
~ TAKING THE ENEMY'S BAIT ~BRYAN'S POV "Are you going to tell her, Alpha?" Chase asked as we slowly walked through the woods.We decided to hunt after leaving the Royal Moon Park earlier. I couldn't stop thinking about her, and I didn't know how else to keep myself occupied. My uncle also wasn't in the house, but I don't have time to think about him. However, I have another reason for coming to hunt, which I didn't tell any of them before leaving."What are you talking about? What do you want him to tell her?" Billy asked, confused."That her uncle is involved in her father's death. We just found out after we left the Royal Moon Pack earlier, but he's refusing to go tell her," Chase replied."Her uncle is involved in the case? This is a big shock to me. Don’t you understand why he doesn’t want to tell her? She’s going to find it hard since her entire family keeps getting involved."I sighed. "Let's just hunt in peace and leave.""But Alpha, I don’t think this is the right way to hun
~ BAITING THE CULPRIT ~EMILLE'S POV My uncle was behind it all along. Why didn't I think of that? Why do I suddenly feel bad for blaming my brother? No! I shouldn't feel bad because he deserved it. Instead of investigating fully, he just kept blaming me for no reason. Now, the evidence of the crime is gone, and the only one who will be convicted is him.Kane got what was coming to him. Why did he have poison in the first place? He should have thrown it away if he wasn't going to use it. Why would he keep it at home and make himself the scapegoat?It's obvious my uncle told this mysterious guy to approach my brother on purpose, and he took the bait. I watched my uncle go back to the mansion. I stood there for a while, not knowing what to do next.None of us are the culprit. He managed to get us to fight each other. What could be the biggest reason to do this? The only reason I can think of is the leadership position of the pack. I should have recorded this as evidence, but I didn't e
~ BIG LIES ~EMILLE'S POV "EMILLE!" I heard Winner shout on my way outside. I turned to look at him, he looked completely pissed which was what I wanted to achieve. Um going to strain them out and make them understand what betrayal feels like. "What do you want? As you can see, I'm very busy because I need to interrogate the suspect," I told him rudely."There's no need to be rude to me. Don't you think you're going too far? This is your brother we're talking about here. Do you think he can actually do something like that?""What about me? Do you think I'd actually do something like that?" I asked him, expecting him to say something that could actually change my mind, but he kept quiet.Why am I still expecting anything from them? They didn't treat me like their sister when I got accused of something I didn't even do. Now he wants me to believe someone else couldn't do that?"See? You can't even answer the question because that's how you feel about me. I'm the only one who can do s
~ CAUGHT ~EMILLE'S POV I couldn't say a word back to Bryan as he asked me the question. The only thing I could look at was my brother, who was celebrating inside my father's room for getting obstacles out of his way. By "obstacles," was he talking about me and my father?I refused to believe this was possible. There's no way he's actually the one who did this to our father. Even if he wanted to be the pack leader so badly, there is no way he would have tried to kill our father just to get that title."It can't possibly be him. He's just probably celebrating because I am not here," I whispered back to Bryan."It doesn't look that way to me. Are we going to continue hiding here, or will you confront him and make him tell the truth?" he questioned me.I shook my head, "We can't just act rashly like that. We need to wait for the right time. Besides, he just got here; what if we could get some more information from him?"We both turned back to look at my brother. He wasn't celebrating an
~ CLOSE BETRAYAL ~EMILLE'S POV It's such a relief to know that my brothers went back after I begged them for more time. Things would have gotten worse for the two packs. I'm glad they decided to believe in me and give me time to find who did it. I'm not exactly happy that they gave me a chance since they didn't believe me at all. They probably are waiting for my humiliation in the next three days. I'll have to do whatever I can to make sure that doesn't happen. I don't know where I'm going to start from yet. I keep thinking about it, but there's no cameras in my father's room that could have captured the moment. It seemed like more and more trouble was just happening to me left and right. "Are you still thinking about it?" Bryan asked me, I quickly turned to look at him and he was sitting on my bed. I was reminded that I didn't thank him for helping me yet since I got back. Showing my appreciation might be the only thing I can do since I am practically useless now. "Why are you
