ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV. Falcon was threatening Luna Rudina with Daciana, and it seemed to be working. She withdrew her forces and was bantering with him. "Don’t listen to him; Daciana is all right; she’s not with him," I yelled. I lied. Without Luna Rudina’s help, Falcon and Derrick will successfully open up the portal, and the invasion will commence. "Let go of my daughter, Falcon!" Luna Rudina shouted wildly."Where is she? Where did you hide her?" Luna Rudina yelled."Ha ha ha!" Falcon laughed wildly. So scary that I actually accommodated this wild beast in my house as Auriel’s uncle, times without number. He successfully deceived me by using my selfishness. I can’t believe I also went to him for help in the past. I played right into his hands. "She will be where you want her to be; just make sure you obey me, beloved sister," Falcon responded mockingly. "So, who will you choose this time? Some random young man whose family has caused you so much pain in the past, even u
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.Luna Rudina’s eyes were bloodshot. The dazzling appearance had disappeared. She was at the brink of losing her daughter."Daciana, stop; you don’t have to leave; we will find a way to treat you no matter how worse you’ve become, “I pleaded. “Will you take me back and make me your Luna like this? Sounds pitiful, isn’t it?” Daciana asked pettily. “Let her go; she has made up her mind,” her mother uttered boldly. “No, I can’t allow that; I promised you she would be fine and she would return to the Sun Valley Pack,” I replied sadly. Daciana raced to the top of the mansion, close to the rumbling cloud. The portal suddenly reopened, and the bright light caught everyone's attention. Brenda took a sword and slit her throat. “No, not you, Brenda,” I mumbled incoherently. The portal closed with her in it. Falcon was disrupted. He suddenly halted and let out a cry of agony. Just like he did at the start. Everyone came to a standstill while watching Falcon. He vanishe
SAMANTHA’S POV. "Samantha Eduardo, your attention is needed at the doctor’s office." "Someone wants’ to see you; his name is Doctor Freeman." A nurse called out to me. I realized I had been asleep for a while."I will join you soon," I replied. My father was still in a coma. I went into the restroom to wash my face. Since I returned to the human world, I have been in and out of the hospital. No one’s come to check on me aside from Alpha Derrick, and he’s not even human."You will be fine, Samantha; you can heal your father," Valerie consoled gently. "Why didn’t I think about that?" I asked brightly. I looked at myself in the mirror. My blonde hair and pink lips were glaring."I can’t heal him; I am no longer Auriel; I am now Samantha, a human," I replied coldly. I turned on the water, washed my face, and got out of the restroom. I headed to the doctor’s office. He has been our family doctor for years, and my father has been partners with him for a long time."Samantha, I am so h
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.The evening was here, the moon was setting, and everyone had started returning to their respective packs.The wailing and burials had ended. The Great Alune was laid to rest. It hurt really bad. She was always on my side. Not one of the elders showed up. She was laid to rest like an outcast. I was left alone to face reality. I have always loved being alone, and enjoying my own company. I guess I now understand the big difference between being lonely and just staying alone. "I feel so empty, Tristan." I conferred pitifully. "Give it time; it will get better," he responded. "What do we do? What’s the way out? I don’t think I might be able to stay sane if I remain here," I conferred."What do you think Auriel is doing right now?" Tristan asked coldly, ignoring my worries. "I know you still love her, but I am mad at her; she fooled us, and I know I wronged her, you don’t have to rain on me," I laughed. "Ashina, that’s the only woman to whom I owe an apo
SAMANTHA’S POV.I forced the bartender to talk; I wish I didn’t, push him further. All he said ended up making my heart so heavy. They plotted it all so perfectly, leaving no traces to make me suspect a thing. Their plan has been going on weeks before my birthday, and it was just Ashina, Derrick, whom I supposed was the strange man he was talking about, he also matched the description he gave, and that greedy Lorenzo who called myself his husband.."How on earth did I get involved?" I asked him angrily. I was pissed at myself and the whole world."It was just to cause a diversion; your husband didn’t keep his own side of the deal to kill Ashina, so they took you instead," he replied stuttering. "Thinking he would be punished by you, he never liked you, and he didn’t look back either," he added. "So I was just a victim, and that’s all; my life is in shambles; my father is dying; and I lost everything just because of Lorenzo’s greed?" I arced. "Yes, please let me go; I had noth
ALPHA HERVEAUX POV. I took a tour around my own mansion for the final time before I left, after talking to Miranda. It was scanty, a shadow of its former self. Not even the birds remained. "I accept it was all my fault, and I give you my word: I will return!" I exclaimed. It echoed so loudly that the remaining maids ran out to see what was happening. I only smiled at them and continued walking. "Money," I arced. That is the most important factor in the human world. How shameless.I took a lot of them in a briefcase. I handed over the care of the mansion to Brenda’s father. I would have made him a beta, but I don’t have the power to do so anymore. I myself was now a beta, but only by name. I opened up the portal. "This place would hold memories I would forever live to regret," I said with a great sigh. I made my way into the human world. The street was filled with colorful lights, and it was enticing. "So, where do we go from here, Tristan? This was all your idea." I
SAMANTHA’S POV“Samantha,” my father called carefully. He was crying when he opened his eyes and saw me. “Why did you do this to me?” “I'm sorry, father,” I replied tearfully. “What took you so long? Are you even real?” he asked sadly as he ran his hands over my face. “It’s really my daughter," he proclaimed happily.“Discharge me; I am ready to go home,” he mustered happily. My father hugged me, and I could feel his heart. It was warm and welcoming. “What happened? Where did you go?” he asked curiously. “It’s a long story, father; just like I told you, I was kidnapped, and the rest is unbelievable,” I replied lightly. “All I want you to do now is regain your strength, and then we can go home together,” I replied. “Good morning, Sir Eduardo,” Nurse Larissa said as she walked in. She looked distressed and disappointed. “Is anything the problem?” "No, ma’am, I am almost done with my shift. After checking on your father, I will have to go back home,” Nurse Larissa
ALPHAHERVEAUX’S POV I had to leave the bar after seeing the woman in the picture Harry showed me. She looked just like Auriel. The only difference was that her hair was blonde and her eyes were different. "Could she be the one?" I asked Tristan. I didn’t want a reply. A yes or no would just distract me. I didn’t tell Harry I was leaving, but he correctly read the expression I gave when I saw that picture. I made it clear to him that I knew a girl who looked familiar, but her name was Auriel. "Sir, you’re back; how did you find your way so easily? I thought you wouldn’t show up," the old man said concernedly. I met him at the saloon. He was working He took me to the apartment I paid for. I was going to pass the time. "What if the woman turns out to be Auriel? What will you do?" Tristan asked."I need to bathe," I said to the old man. "The bathroom is just by the corner, sir; if you don’t mind, I would show you around the house; mind my manners; it’s really small, so I thought i
SAMANTHA’S POV. ONE YEAR LATER. His broad hand drew me into his arms with a tight hug that i felt in my soul. "Happy birthday, my beloved Luna," his coarse, seductive voice whispered in my ears."Hmmm," I heaved, still pretending to be asleep. He placed a small box beside me. "I want to go to the bath; will you join me? I know you’re awake," he uttered. He took off his clothes, and I fell in love with him all over again. It was my birthday again, a day I have regretted and wished never came just because of that unforgettable night. Alpha Herveaux changed that. It became a day I now look forward to."So what’s my first gift?" I asked him jokingly. "Me!" he coerced seductively. "What else can I ask for? Can I have you now?" I can’t wait to see his expression when he finds out I am pregnant with his child. "That night a few months ago, I thought you left; I would have been miserable without you. Thank you, Samantha," he uttered as he made out with me.He carried me down to
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.I rolled to the other side of the bed, expecting a push or a sound, but none was forthcoming; Auriel had left. It sent me a bewildering, intense feeling of sadness that swept all my happiness away."Don’t be sad; she probably went for the kill; only she can defeat Falcon," I consoled Tristan. If it turns out otherwise, then I’ll just go with the flow. I am back to full strength. Before Sunrise reveals its glory, I will go and defend the city. It won’t go down with me alive.She left the clothes she had picked out for me to wear at the extreme edge of the bed. She still cares, but maybe as a friend and not as my Luna.The clothes seemed like camouflage. There was no way I could hide without getting spotted or noticed; it was pointless hiding or wearing camouflage. I got dressed and was ready for the kill. I stepped out, and a smile returned to my face when I saw the moon. I growled. It meant she was still around. "I hope she sees me before leaving," I wished o
SAMANTHA’S POV. My heart fluttered watching him sleep soundly like a baby. His heart was beating slowly, and his face had a mild smile. "I am his peace," I muttered, blushing uncontrollably. "I’m sorry, my love, I’ll have to leave before you wake up. Just let’s stay alive all through. I really can’t decide now." I whispered and kissed him goodbye.I didn’t care if I would make it or not, but my love for him and his children was driving me to my peak."Avayah, Valerie, we are going to find Falcon and kill him. Easy, right?" I asked them jokingly. I tiptoed out of Ashina’s house so Herveaux would continue his sound sleep. The only place on my mind where I felt I could find Falcon was at Derrick’s mansion, the same place where Alpha Herveaux was held hostage. The mansion was miles away from the house. I wondered what made Ashina come this far and live there alone; not even Herveaux knew of the place. "Thank you, Avayah; you led me there, right?" I shifted like a pro as I ra
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.The wavering sounds of the waters at the sea stirred my eyes to open and my soul to awaken. Still in pain, I struggled to get up on my feet. "Hey, just lie down there; you’re still hurt."The voice I had always wanted to hear spoke to me. I beamed with a smile and fell back onto the bed. She hurried up to meet me."Herveaux, are you with me?" She asked worriedly, holding my hands. She placed my hand on her face. It still felt like a dream. I never knew she’d return to me. Especially now that I needed her the most."Samantha?" I murmured tiredly. "Yes, it’s me; I am here," she responded. My hands found her blonde hair, and I flicked them away from her face. "You’re beautiful," I said to her, smirking."I know there is no time to waste; tell me what to do; how can I heal you?" she asked instantaneously. She dragged me up the wall so I could rest my back. "Where is this place?" I asked anxiously. I had never been there, and it was pleasant. "It Belonged to
SAMANTHA’S POV. Gwendolyn helped me pack my bags. She was skeptical about it at first, then I was the one eager to leave."Will you tell your father about it first? Have you made any plans?" She asked me carefully. "None for now. I have been trying to call Alpha Draglun, but he isn’t responding. Do you think he’s also caught in this?" I asked her concernedly. "Keep calling, he might answer before you get there. Your father is not home right now. I will just tell him when he returns," Gwendolyn responded impatiently. I sat down on the bed tiredly. "Why are you acting like this?""Don’t tell me you’re backing out or having second thoughts, okay let’s do this, if the thing get out of your control, just say goodbye and come back to us, how about that?" Gwendolyn asked. Gwendolyn was done packing my bags. She collected the cellphone from me and put it inside. "So how do you get there? You’re not going by car, right?" she asked confusedly, and it made me blush. "Partly by ca
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV. The dangers of the night were out; the whole place was dark and sneaky. Not a single soul was around. The whole place was dark, and the absence of the moon didn’t go unnoticed. For once, I doubted the information Brenda gave me. It came so easily; just a few minutes after she left me, she returned overhead and came to me. "I don’t mind; I have no other choice," I said loudly to myself to stop the non-stop pondering in my mind. I checked the whole area. The woods, underneath, and even the sea that was nearby, but there is no sign of anyone there. "I will wait a while and leave if no one shows up," I coerced. I checked the paper she gave me again. "It’s here; I definitely am in the right place. Where are you hiding my children, Falcon?" I whispered, still searching. "Right here!" he responded with a wild roar. He threw Miranda’s body down from the tree. "Damn you, Falcon, I knew it!" I groaned painfully. She was still alive but writhing in pain."Don’t wor
SAMANTHA’S POV. He was dressed in the prisoner’s uniform. It suits him really well. "I still can’t believe I once liked men that looked like him," I whispered into Gwendolyn’s ear."You’ve said that before, okay? Thanks to Herveaux, you got to know there were better men than he was," she snapped.Lorenzo was called up, and he was sitting right in front of me. He was sad and teary. "I will have my revenge, Lorenzo; I really can’t wait to crush you and end your life; no one will save you from me," I said to him."I will take whatever punishment you give me; please spare my wife and our innocent baby," he pleaded with me. He fell on his feet and held onto my legs.I kicked him off angrily. "The police, you can’t assault him," Gwendolyn pulled me back."Dummy, I tipped them off; I am Samantha Eduardo!" I replied, laughing loudly, and continued kicking him. "I will kick them out of that house and throw them into the streets. You did the same to my innocent father, so why can’t I do th
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.Fernando fought against me with all his might, and I realized he wouldn’t stop until he was dead. I stopped fighting him. "I did you no wrong! I need to go save my children. I will kill you this time if you attack me again," I said to him."No, you will have to go through me!" he growled wildly. "You’re not in control Fernando, you can still get yourself back; I don’t want to kill you," I pleaded, ready to give up everything. It hurt so much to see the man who raised you like a father ready to kill you. I know he wasn’t as powerful as I was, but living with the guilt of killing him would be hard on me. "I forgive you for everything you’ve done against me, even though you think I was the one who offended you!" I yelled. "You were ready to choose another Beta and shamefully disperse me; you never trusted me; you handed over the throne to your brother; you could have promoted me to Alpha!" he grunted.It sounded so odd. I never knew he wanted to become Alp
SAMANTHA’S POV. I snuggled my body meekily under the tender, silky cover on my bed. My back ached so bad, but it’d turn into a soothing pain as I starched on the bed.My normal routine before sleeping started, whereby I had to think about every disgusting thing I did that day and even years ago, blame myself, praise myself a little, and have a mixture of regrets."Did I do the right thing with Alpha Draglun?"I shunned him. I could have just said NO politely, but I said it in a rage. I just hope he understands that I don't want that life anymore. Alpha Herveaux is the strongest man I know, and I believe he can fight off whoever threatens his pack. Moreover, He places it on a high pedestal, so he’ll never watch it fall."I just hope my thoughts are right," I said, thinking out loud. Like usual, I fell asleep without knowing it; all I knew was that I felt peaceful with a great ache in my heart that I refused to acknowledge.I felt a soft, hairy hand on my face. "Alpha Herveaux,"
