EMILLE'S POV I did not go out of my room for a while because I did not want to see Layla's face. I am confused by all this illegal process of finding out the truth. What if this is another stunt by them to fool me? Am I a joke to everyone? The door to my room was opening, I sprang up ready to hit whoever comes in without knocking. Then I remember I also do that to Bryan and my brothers a lot. I waited for the person to enter and it is none other than Bryan. I walked towards him and did the usual. I slapped his face. "Wow. I can't believe you! You want her to stay with us? When I agreed to marry you, did I tell you I was gonna bring my evil cousin to live with me? You all are the reason why I am being called trouble. She did something wrong and the punishment she deserves is your luxury?" I snapped at him. He sighed, "Will you listen to me first before anything? She is the only one who can bring us to the real culprit…""And you think she is not the real one? Wow! I'm impressed.
BRYAN'S POV"She's on her way?... I should prepare myself then. Keep watching her." I said, ending the call. I shook my head, exhausted from all I am receiving just because of this girl. Shouldn't I just reject her as my mate? I can't do that because she has something that no one else does and she must not enter the wrong hands. 'You sound jealous ' my subconscious mind told me. I scoffed, I am not jealous. I am just being cautious and claiming what is mine. She is mine, and I have every right to claim her. I am very sure I am her true mate. I counted the minutes till I heard the door barge open. She stomped into the room and sent me a flying kick. I spun off my chair, and started laughing. She gave me a look that indicates she's checking if I am crazy or not. "What the heck? Are you laughing at me or what? So I'm a joke to you now?" She asked, obviously pissed and ready to attack me again. I stood up and dusted my clothes, "Tell me, are you going to keep doing this to me even w
EMILLE'S POV "... Your blood has a special healing ability, not just that. You can also heal by touching someone and focusing with your mind that you want them to heal…" He continued, I interrupted him again. "Can I also tell them to be in severe pain? Can I inflict pain on others with this?" I asked curiously. He looks so done with me. I did not budge, waiting for his answer. "Really? You want to inflict pain on others without learning about your extra special healing ability?" I shrugged, I have a lot of people who deserve this. I should ask so I know what I am capable of doing. But should I use my power for evil though. This would make me like Layla, sure she'll hate me more if she knows this. I can't help but wonder if my father knows this. How does Alpha Bryan know I am a healer or some sort? "How do you even know that?" "I know everything about you Emille. I am your mate after all. You should be careful, your powers can be transferred by any greedy person through the
AIDEN'S POVI keep waking up to seeing Katana beside me everyday. I have not had enough time to talk to her or stop this nonsense. I am more interested in doing whatever I can to separate Emille from that guy. I sluggishly got out of bed to attend to the matters of the day. It is now I know that I can never find a girl like Emille. I thought this was all about what I wanted, now I know it's different. "Good morning hubby. It's so good to...""Shut up! I did not ask you to talk to me. I have taken enough of this shit! Get out of my room before I totally lose it!" I yelled at her. She scoffed, "You should not lose it. Do you want to harm your baby and I?" My baby? What is she talking about? Tell me this bitch did not... Is she for real?She smiled, "Yes, I am pregnant. Shouldn't you be happy? You will have an heir soon. I am doing the things Emille could never do for you." "I don't know where you got the idea that I am going to accept you. You just have to keep dreaming. I am not go
EMILLE'S POVI woke up in his room this morning and my plan to surprise him is ruined. I thought I was in my room, but I ended up going to his own room. I was awaken when I felt his lips on mine. This pervert dared to kiss me while I was sleeping. It made me blush though, I did not want him to find out so I pretended to be mad. In reality, I was blushing hard when I got to the room. My body feels a bit strange and weak. I went into the bathroom with thoughts of him all over my head. Why did I try so hard to please him? I even risked my life to help him. I would not care in a normal situation but then, he seems to hit different every time. What is this feeling of wanting him called? Because I suddenly started craving hard for him. This is embarrassing, I don't want to do that with a man. Not yet. Nothing can stop me, not even the biggest form of heat. I dressed up and got ready for breakfast after taking my bath. I know I was going to see him there. He is unavoidable. "Thank yo
BRYAN'S POV My mate is finally giving herself to me. I stopped and looked at her. She was closing her eyes before but soon opened it when she saw I stopped. I couldn't help but smile at how beautiful and funny she looked. This was the most stubborn woman I've ever met. Who would have thought she would be this nervous for something like this? Her body is curved and they looked completely fresh. I should have been the one asking for this if I wasn't patient enough. "Why did you stop? I need you right now." She said desperately. I was just teasing her but I've never expected to see this desperate look in her eyes. It's her first time, and she's giving it to me now. She was with Alpha Aiden for years and didn't give him an opportunity to touch her?No one would believe a girl like her would actually be pure on the inside. I gently kissed her, my hands roaming around her bare skin that drove me crazy. I needed her, my wolf needed her. She bit her lips as my lips came in contact
KANE'S POV I keep getting an invitation from this person I know nothing about. I have no idea what he or she has to do with my family. All I see is that the letter keeps saying I need help, what help exactly? I don't need anyone's help. I decided to accept the invitation and go check what is so important today. I left home to meet at the menu where the letter says. I stopped in front of an old café with less customers. It's not like I am afraid of anyone but why would they chose such a secluded place? I sat down waiting for the person, then I began to feel like an idiot. What exactly am I doing? I have enough to think about considering what I am going through at home all because of that my useless sister. I don't know why my father won't just send her away. I always feel like she is not part of the family. No disrespect to my dead mom but what if she cheated on dad and got pregnant from that? That should be the only way she would give birth to such a disgrace as a child. Emill
BRYAN'S POV It's morning already but none of us has left the bed. No one dares to disturb us either. I woke up first, I didn't leave but stare at her while she still sleeps. I can't believe she did what she has been avoiding for a long time with me. Yet she agreed to do it because of a pain she has been holding for a long time. If Aiden is her mate, she is supposed to mate with him long ago. Because they usually can't hold the pain when the meet their mates, it becomes worse than before and it's unavoidable. She could not hold it with me but she said she has been okay even with Aiden. Some people don't even like the pain at all, they just go out and attract other male werewolves to mate with even if they haven't found their mate. She could have done it with Aiden, she kept avoiding it instead. This leads me to thinking there is more to this that meets the eye. It is not adding up so I have to find out what it is. I began hearing noise outside. I looked for something to wear and de
RAFAEL'S POV I wasn’t going to let her go.Not yet.She was still looking at me like I was some joke, like she wasn’t in any real danger. That stubborn fire in her eyes refused to dim, and it irritated me more than I wanted to admit.I had given her a choice—keep my secret, and I’d keep hers. Simple. But simple wasn’t enough for her, was it?She shifted slightly, her gaze flickering toward the door like she was already planning an escape.I sighed. “You’re still thinking about running, aren’t you?”Nora snorted. “Wouldn’t you?”I smirked. “Oh, I would. If I thought I had a chance.”Her jaw tightened at that, but she said nothing.I took a step closer, lowering my voice just enough to make her listen. “See, that’s the problem, little wolf. I don’t trust you.”Her brows furrowed. “Good. I don’t trust you either.”I chuckled. “Of course you don’t. But unlike you, I have something to lose.”Her eyes narrowed. “And I don’t?”I tilted my head, watching her carefully. “Do you?”For a brief
Rafael’s POVI hadn’t planned to say it.The words just slipped out.“I want you.”It wasn’t supposed to leave my mouth, but the moment I saw her face—those sharp eyes, that stubborn chin, those damn lips that had the audacity to smirk at me—I lost control for a second. A single second, but it was enough.Her expression shifted, her brows shooting up in surprise before she let out a small, incredulous laugh. “What?”I clenched my jaw, irritation bubbling inside me. I wasn’t supposed to react like this. I wasn’t supposed to be stunned by her. I was the Lycan Prince. People feared me. Respected me. And yet, she was looking at me like I was some confused boy tripping over his own words.Annoying.I took a step closer, watching as her smirk grew wider instead of shrinking in fear. Most people would have cowered by now. Most people would have dropped their heads and trembled under my presence. But her?She tilted her chin up, daring me.I should have ignored it. I should have let it go. Bu
NORA'S POVI should have listened.That was the thought running through my head as I sat on the cold floor of Rafael’s closet, staring up at him. His smirk made my skin crawl, his eyes dark with amusement—and something else.Anger.But before I could fully grasp how much trouble I was in, my mind took me back to earlier today.FLASHBACK "Anora, get back here!"Whenever my mom used my full name, I knew I was doomed.I stood in the middle of the living room, my arms crossed, trying not to look like I cared. My mother, Luna Emille, paced back and forth, her heels clicking against the marble floor.My father, Alpha Bryan, sat on the couch with his arms folded, watching me with that silent, disapproving stare that somehow made me feel worse than my mother’s yelling."I told you," my mother seethed. "I warned you to stay away from Rafael!""Mom, I didn’t—""Don’t lie to me!" She snapped, turning sharply to face me. Her dark eyes burned with frustration. "Not only did you disobey us, but yo
NORA'S POVI messed up.I really, really messed up.The moment the words slipped out of my mouth, I knew I had just dug my own grave."No, I don't! How am I supposed to know someone kissed you and ran away?"I wanted to slap myself right there and then. What kind of idiot blurts that out? Rafael had just been questioning me, and I should have acted confused, uninterested, maybe even disgusted. Instead, I basically confirmed his suspicions.I could see it in his eyes—sharp, calculating. The moment I spoke, he knew. He didn't have proof yet, but I had just given him something to hold on to."I don't think I've ever told anyone that the girl I'm looking for kissed me and ran away. How do you know that?" He questioned me. I shook my head, "I think you heard wrong your highness. How am I supposed to know if someone kissed you? I just suggested it!""You seem awfully defensive, princess," he said, stepping closer. "Why do I get the feeling that you know exactly what I'm talking about?"I s
RAFAEL’S POVShe didn’t answer immediately. For a moment, she just stared at me as if she had seen a ghost. But then, just as quickly, she scowled. "Move," she muttered, trying to step past me.I blocked her path."You bumped into me and didn’t even bother to apologize," I said lazily, tilting my head as I observed her.She rolled her eyes. "I don’t apologize to people who stand in my way."Feisty.I liked that."Do you know who I am?" I questioned her. She scoffed, "Am I supposed to know?"I don't need anyone to tell me from her reaction that she knows who I am but she's just pretending not to. Is she doing this to get me mad or what? Most of the girls have seen are always mesmerized by my beauty and everything else, but this one is just different from everyone. She won't even give me an opportunity to talk to her, she's exactly like her mother. Even though I don't have to ability to use my werewolf senses, I know she smells really nice. I was about to say something else when I no
RAFAEL'S POVWhere the hell is she?My fists clenched as I stormed through the streets, my mind burning with anger. That damn girl. That infuriating, rebellious girl. I had never met anyone like her in my entire life.She didn’t just humiliate me—she had the audacity to kiss me. Multiple times. Without my consent.I still felt the ghost of her lips on mine, not in a way that made me feel anything good, but in a way that made me want to strangle something.Me. The Lycan Prince. The one everyone feared. And she? A nobody.Yet she had dared to toy with me, slipping through my fingers like smoke every time I tried to catch her. When I finally got close enough, my claws ripped through her clothes by accident, and that’s when I saw it—her white wolf tattoo on her thigh.A symbol of purity and power.But before I could even process it, she had hit me so hard that I nearly lost balance. And then, just like that, she was gone.No one had ever dared to strike me before. No one had ever looked m
Nora's POV"Get her! Don't let her get away!"I kept laughing as I ran around with them trying to catch me, but I knew it was going to be impossible because I brought them to a place where I knew all the exits and shortcuts. It was going to be hard for them to catch me. I'm not someone that can easily be caught just because they want to.I kept turning them around and making them move in circles for more than an hour before I finally decided to leave the place. I was tired of running around. It was like an exercise for me, and I was used to being chased after doing something that I'm not supposed to do. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop anyway.Those bastards were the ones who tried to bully me in the first place, and I only did what I had to do to defend myself. Everyone thinks what I do is extreme, but they are the ones who start everything. I don't just go around looking for trouble—unless they start it. And when they do, I don't take it easy at all. I go all in and do whatev
BRYAN'S POV"Did you just say the notorious Lycan prince is in our territory?" I asked again to be sure I heard correctly."And he's looking for my daughter?" Emille added.Winner nodded. "It's true. Though people don't know he's looking for your daughter, from the description, I already know it was Nora who offended him in the first place."The Lycan family is the only one around, and they are very powerful rulers who have a lot of packs under them and a large territory. They are slightly bigger than ours. They have a lot of warriors and also very powerful weapons that could make them win any war.If I were to say the truth, they have grown over the last few years, and they are well-respected by everyone, including us. No one tries to look for their trouble in order not to provoke them. I've also had a good relationship and cooperation with them, as we are the second-biggest pack.We give them the leadership of the entire werewolf community as the largest pack. Important decisions co
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
