Asmund’s POV The blame lay solely on the doctor's shoulders. Had he not uttered those words, I would not be in the state of utter confusion that I find myself in now! My intention was to confront him, for it was obvious that he harbored a certain interest in our prisoner, which was why he was so attentive to her needs. However, the tables were turned on me when he leveled the same accusation against me. [“I apologize if my actions have given you the wrong impression. Right now, you seemed jealous. To me and that prisoner.”] His words lingered in my mind, refusing to dissipate. The accusation that I harbored feelings for a murderer was preposterous, yet it clung to me like a stubborn stain. Determined to prove the doctor wrong, I made my way to 0315's room after he had left. But as fate would have it, my clumsiness got the better of me. In a moment of carelessness, I tore her dress, revealing a glimpse of her bare skin. The sight of her curves ignited a fire within me, a heat th
Olive’s POV My memories of my parents were non-existent as if they had never existed at all. All I knew was that they had been involved in a tragic car accident, a fact that my grandmother had shared with me. The news had left a deep impression on me, and I had made a solemn vow to never get behind the wheel of a car. However, it seemed that fate had other plans for me. My luck with the car was abysmal, as evidenced by the first time I had gone for a drive with Vincent. The outing ended in disaster, with Vincent accidentally killing Vera in a terrible accident. Given my track record, it was no surprise that I felt incredibly nervous when my Abuela asked me to operate the lawn tractor. I had no experience driving anything, let alone a machine as complex as this. The thought of being in control of such a powerful piece of equipment was daunting, to say the least. “You’re wasting too much time, 0315! Start your work now!” Abuela's voice pierced through the peaceful morning air, jolt
Griffin’s POV At long last, the report I had been waiting for arrived. [“The Alpha Heir, Vincent, had found love in the arms of his mate, Helen of the Silver Cloud Pack. Whispers of their romance had spread like wildfire throughout the pack, and it was said that Vincent was planning to make a grand announcement at the upcoming coronation ceremony. Helen was to be introduced to everyone as his Luna, the queen of the pack.”] My emotions boiled over, and my hands clenched around the small device I held, threatening to crush it in my fury. ‘That damn bastard. He used Olive to cover his crime, and there he was, celebrating his upcoming coronation while having a good time with his new lover.’ Well, the more trash he is, the more Olive will get disappointed. "Tell me, have you discovered anything about Olive's grandmother?" I inquired. [“Regrettably, my source had no means of obtaining any information regarding the elderly woman. The Star Moon's pack was heavily fortified, and the Alp
Aaron’s POVHow the bloody hell am I supposed to keep my cool when Doctor Griffin is about to lay eyes on my mate's naked body?Yeah, I get it. It's his job, but the thought of him ogling her body makes me want to smash his face in! It's obvious he's got an interest in her!As much as I'd love to rip him limb from limb, I know I can't. I need him to patch her up, and for that, I need to keep my temper in check while I pace outside the door, waiting for any news.I try to distract myself, to push the anger aside, but my brother's words keep echoing in my head, driving me mad. ‘My captive can’t drive a lawn tractor. If she can’t drive it, she might be innocent of killing Vera.’ I let out a deep sigh and ran my fingers through my hair, pushing it upwards in frustration.“Aaron.”The sound of my name being called interrupted my thoughts, and I turned to see the familiar face of Vera's grandmother, Abuela. Despite not being related by blood, I held her in high regard, as she had been the
Olive’s POV From Griffin’s clinic, I retreated to my room. Some parts of my body were still aching, but overall, I could move normally. Just when I entered my room, I heard a knock from the door. I caught myself anticipating while looking at the entrance. But then, I reminded myself there was no need to hope that Lycan Aaron would come here to check on me. After all, he vowed something like this: ["I assure you, without a shadow of a doubt, that Vera will forever remain the sole woman in my life. I will never fall in love with the murderer who robbed Vera’s precious life. Never.”] Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that Aaron and I would find ourselves in such a complicated relationship. Yet, I felt a pang of hurt when I heard those words. It was irrational, I knew, but emotions seldom follow logic. With a heavy sigh, I made my way towards the door. And when I opened it, I was met with a sight that left me dumbfounded. Asmund was standing in the doorway of my room once agai
Aaron’s POVMy heart was heavy.I was in distress since I vowed to Abuela that I would never fall in love with my mate. That’s why even if I heard that Dr. Griffin healed my mate, I couldn’t bring myself to check her.‘Because if I see her face, I feel like I might betray Abuela.’ Knock. Knock.A soft knock echoed through the walls of my office, drawing my attention to the door. I shifted my gaze towards it.“It’s me, Beta Jasfer.”“Come in.”Beta Jasfer came in and gave me his report, “Greeting. I came here to inform you about the upcoming coronation ceremony in the Star Moon Pack.”When I heard the name of the Pack, my face contorted."Although I know you don't want to witness their Alpha heir ascend to the Alpha position, you must come, Lycan Aaron," Beta Jasfer reminded me.I let out a frustrated sigh, my grip on the pen tightening until it snapped in my hand. "I can't believe I have to attend the coronation of my prisoner's boyfriend," I grumbled.Jasfer noticed the broken pen a
Olive’s POV It’s final. I won’t be able to attend Vincent’s coronation ceremony.In fact, asking Aaron to take me to the ceremony was like punching an air. I was well aware that it was an impossible request. Yet, in recent days, he had exhibited a lesser degree of anger and violence. This gave rise to a false hope within me that perhaps, just perhaps, he would approve to my desire to witness my beloved Alpha's coronation. Alas, my efforts were in vain.Crying for a long time, and my eyes went soggy. I didn’t know how much time passed, and only when I got out of the castle, I realized that I was late for work."Abuela will undoubtedly be furious," I murmured, quickening my steps in a desperate attempt to make up for lost time. Abandoning my emotional turmoil and jumbled thoughts, I pressed on until I reached the solace of the garden.Even if Abuela torments me, working in the garden lessens my stress. And I really hope that will be the case today. Not until…“Audacious!” Abuela shoute
Aaron’s POVThe day of Vincent's Alpha coronation ceremony had finally arrived.I sat in the back seat of my car, unable to shake the memory of my mate's crestfallen expression when I forbade her from accompanying me to the event. Despite her disappointment, I knew it was for the best."She would only suffer more once she learned of her boyfriend’s betrayal," I muttered to myself, though the words held little conviction. If I truly despised my captive, I would have taken more drastic measures to ruin her life.“Haa.”With a heavy sigh, I ran my fingers through my perfectly groomed hair. “My captive should be grateful for my mercy.”Soon enough, I arrived at the Star Moon Pack, where the ceremony would be held in a grand hall. It was impressive but paled in comparison to the grandeur of my own castle.“Not bad,” I dropped a mockery compliment as I walked inside the hall.As I strode into the hall, every gaze fixated upon me.The countenances of the werewolves betrayed their fear, a cle
