"No….." I murmured nodding my head negatively telling Herveaux not to go with Lorenzo after I knew he was the one who invited him I decided not to play into his hands. Herveaux didn’t listen as expected. He followed Lorenzo and I was left alone in the club. "I’ll go after them but not now, he’d notice me," I snarled. I looked around for Dianne that bitch didn’t even wait for a while before she stabbed me in the back. Surprisingly she wasn’t in the club either. Lorenzo returned in a jiffy and tried flirting with me again. "Stop, where is Tristan, why isn’t he ere with you?" I asked calmly. "Why asking about him, you denied knowing Derrick just a moment ago," he snapped still holding me down like a pervert. "It doesn’t matter, he’s my neighbor, there’s no harm in knowing where he is," I retorted bluntly. "We came here for ourselves, forget about him and let’s enjoy the moment," Lorenzo whispered in my ears as he held my waist closely to dance. Some drunk lady bumped into us spill
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.Lorenzo took me to the back of the club, there were lots of people there. He sprayed something in the air that choked just me really bad, but I was strong enough to withstand it before he disappeared. The men suddenly attacked me, but I was still able to fight them.Not one of them attempted to kill me. "The man you saw with Dianna wasn’t me, it was Derrick," I said to Samantha. He told me Lorenzo reached out to him and he came over just to frustrate me. "I guess he’s not having much fun being the Alpha of the Lycan prowler pack, that he needed to come here," I laughed. Auriel wasn’t laughing. She had asked me a question, and I was taking so long to answer that I felt explaining would be great. "Derrick attacked me after you left with Lorenzo, and that was how I knew everything and came for you," I replied, cutting off the hikes. "That didn’t answer my question, Herveaux. I don’t care if it was you with Dianne or any other person; why did you come for me?" Sa
SAMANTHA’S POV."Can I see it?" Gwendolyn asked. She was waiting at the door outside Herveaux’s room. "See what?" I asked harshly. "Your wolf, is it scary?" she nerved. "No, they’re cute," I replied sadly."What is it? Did you two have a fight again? I don’t get it. Can I see it now?" Gwendolyn asked persistently. She was overly eager to see the things that have scared me for life. "It’s not something to be happy about, Gwendolyn; you have to understand me; I can’t show you anything; I promised myself not to shift," I replied aptly. "But why don’t you see it as a gift? You should rather appreciate your powers, please, Samantha," Gwendolyn arced, holding my hands. "You don’t understand a thing," I snapped. "Are you scared, or is something else wrong?""No Gwendolyn more than ever I am confident, I know what I want; I just don’t know how else to get it. If Herveaux hadn’t interfered with buying the company, Lorenzo wouldn’t have called Derrick," I yelled. I felt bad after, she w
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S"He will never get her! Auriel is mine and mine alone!" I hurled at Alpha Draglun. "Take it easy, Herveaux; I just told you all I know. I think that’s a bye for now; you should drop by anytime you can," Alpha Draglun responded.I threw the phone against the wall, but for some reason it wouldn’t just go where I wanted it to. "You all are frustrating me!!!" I yelled. "All we need to do, Tristan, is get rid of whatever tape Lorenzo has and take back all Samantha’s properties from him," I arced. My neck was twitching, and I needed to lay my back on the bed.I laid down and closed my eyes. Not to sleep but just to relax, and I heard another knock on my door. I smiled really hard before standing up to open the door with a stern frown.It was Auriel’s father, not Auriel. "Ohhh it’s you," I muttered lowly. "Were you expecting someone, young man?" Her father asked. "No, please come in," I replied humbly. "Do you have any family? I have never seen them," he asked calmly.
13.SAMANTHA’S POV.My eyes twitched when I played the video Lorenzo sent. I would have rather he sent a video of him assaulting me instead. I threw the phone against the wall in anger."I don’t share in your misery, Samantha. Thanks for cooperating; I have a date." She blew kisses at me and left us at her house. "Did she just leave us in her house and go out?" Gwendolyn arced. "Yeah, I think we should leave too; we’ve gotten what we want anyway," I replied sadly. "What’s on the tape?" "That bastard took a video of me shifting, alongside Alpha Herveaux and Derrick; I really don’t know how he got me," I lamented depressingly. Not when I thought everything was finally falling into place, this happened again. "What are we going to do? I think you just have to...""SHUT UP!" I yelled at her. She was going to bring up Alpha Herveaux again. "I will find a way, do something about it," I responded bluntly. "Should I drive you back home?"Gwendolyn kept driving. In circles no
"I will give you an answer when all is done and over," I said to her. She couldn’t hold back her tears. My past kept coming back to hurt me, but I wouldn’t let it put me down. I love her, but I believe I owe Avayah more. My negligence pushed Ashina away, and it eventually led to her death. "Why are you keeping me in anticipation? I want to hear it now!" Auriel yelled. I have told her a million times, but repeating mere wording is invaluable. I will just put it in my act. Who knows? Maybe she's right that there’s no future for us. She wants to be human, and I am a wolf. There should have never been an us from the start. "Hey Gwendolyn, I think I’ll be needing a new car and a little, will you?" "Yeah, I will if Samantha is okay with it," she responded lightly. Auriel stormed out of my room in tears. There’s not much I can do. I have to go back to the Lycan’s prowler pack. I took my bath again and changed into something cooler and more my style. A black shirt and match
SAMANTHA’S POV. "He couldn’t even answer me; nothing else matters," I fussed. I brooded for a while and made up my mind."Why is it so hard to sense his presence?" I asked Valerie and Avayah. Lorenzo wasn’t the only one hiding. He’s got backup from other wolves, and they were shielding him. It might be harder to get him. "We’ll find him, but you must step out and sniff!" Avayah scoffed. Bonding with my wolves was helping. I wasn’t lonely, but his void would never be filled by them alone. I had destroyed my cellphone, and it wasn’t working. I needed to talk to Lorenzo; who knows, I might get through to him before he gets to me. "I need Gwendolyn.""No, you don't," a coarse voice uttered behind me. I turned around, and it was Derrick."How did you get in here?" I asked anxiously. My heart wasn’t racing; I knew he wasn’t going to hurt me, but I was shocked."Really? Are you going to ask that question?" he responded fondly."I don’t want you here; you could call me elsewhere
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.I managed to maneuver Dianne into agreeing with my plan and perspective. Asking her to believe I needed to save Auriel as much as I wanted the revenge. She agreed to take me to Lorenzo. But the slut still wanted a piece of me."I agree to whatever comes after. Is that clear enough?" I asked angrily."We’re taking my car," she responded. We kept driving for several hours, and I had doubts about her until I could read her mind. She had mixed feelings about my plans, but she was going to take me there either way. "You don’t need to doubt me, just take me there," I arced. "What do you mean?" she reacted irrationally. "I can hear your thoughts, so you can’t fool me, Diannne," I growled. She drove faster, and eventually we were at the seaside. I have always felt it, but I didn’t know it was somewhere around me. Lorenzo’s scent was getting stronger as we moved closer, but so was Auriel’s. "Did he invite Samantha too?" I asked Dianne briskly. "How do I kn
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,"
