XANDER'S POV

It had been a week now since the night encounter I last had with Laurel over her leaving the house and she was not back since then. To be frank, I did not want her to come back and ruin the little time I had been enjoying with Nicolette but then, she had left her things here and would not return. She did not even call me or anything that prompted me to actually start worrying about her. What if something had happened to her and she was in trouble? What if she had been so upset and committed suicide or hurt herself?

I recalled how broken Nicolette had been the other time when she realized that I had been with Laurel and the accident. I did not want that to be the case with Laurel even if I wanted her out of my hair. Not this way definitely. It had to be done properly.

I decided that this evening, if she did not show up for her things and I called and she did not respond to my calls, I was going to carry out a search for her. I decided to go find Allen who seemed to

    NICOLETTE'S POV I could not believe who I was seeing right now, If not the almighty Zibelle. It had been a while since I last set eyes on my best friend and it was not actually nice. I had been of the thoughts that she now hated me and wanted away from me since the whole mate switching stuff which was weird. I used to think that she would be happy for me and at least show me some amount of support rather than try and make me feel less of myself. It was almost like she wanted me to start feeling like a wrecker. Like I had gone personally to the moon goddess and demanded that she fix Xander up as my mate or something.Definitely something but you could bet. I did not care.I had been in the act of getting ready for a boring day when I would probably take a lonely walk down my garden only for the maids to announce that Zibelle was here to see me. I was amazed but still needed to accept her."Send her upstairs." I said to the young girl."Yes, Luna." She said and left.I have to confess

    ZIBELLE'S POV It pricked my soul that I had to play the villain with my best friend. I had actually received a call up from Laurel after the past couple of weeks and she needed me to go warm up close to Nicolette as there was a big plan ongoing about her entire outlook. She was cooking up something that would definitely shake us all and I was in no position to argue with her over anything. I had been tactfully avoiding Nicolette and the outside world in general as I needed some time out and alone to try and think straight over the things I was battling with. I did not want any of this and certainly did not want to lose what I had worked up all these years to establish.My fashion house and my reputation was everything to me and I could not lose out on any of that. It could only mean one thing and that was that I needed to do as I have been asked. I needed time away from the public which was why I refused to opt for a shopping spree. Besides, now was no time to start going on shopp

    NICOLETTE'S POV I was confused over how Zibelle was acting and of course her sudden question was really something. What had my personal stuff got to do with me feeling sick. Wait, certainly she did not mean that I was pregnant?I started to do the math instantly as it dawned on me that I should have seen my time about a week ago. Perhaps, it was just running late and there was absolutely nothing biological related to pregnancy. Perhaps, it was my hormones. I could not be pregnant now. I clearly I'm not ready to become a mother yet."Nicolette, answer me. When was the last time you saw it?" She asked me again."I'm calculating. I don't know exactly but I am thinking hard." I said to her clearly frustrated by the question at hand."You're calculating? Seriously? Are you even paying attention to your existence as a female? You've been having sex, Nicolette." She pointed it out to me."Yes, I have but that doesn't determine my falling over or vomiting." I said to her."I bet you that it

    LAUREL'S POV"So what are you insinuating?" I demanded angrily with wild eyes."It's just that..." She started but clearly would never finish out of fear."Just what? You are having second thoughts, aren't you? Do you know the implications of having second thoughts with me?" I demanded angrily. It was clear that I would not be having any of her unnecessary outbursts.Clearly, Zibelle was trying to wriggle out of the plan safely and was trying to anchor onto the fact that Nicolette was pregnant for survival. I on the other hand have absolutely no plans to make her feel free not even after the successful completion of her task. She already crossed me when she had attempted to go behind my back and expose my plans and right now, I do have a big surprise for her on her fashion show night. We just might be having more visitors from our school days to witness this glorified plan of mine.However, until then all I needed was perfection and not her going back and forth on me and our arrangeme

  • MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: Married To The Mated Alpha    107

    XANDER'S POV I returned home to the biggest surprise of my life and I could not expect that this day would ever come. It had been a long day with Allen trying to get things in order and I found my way home feeling tired with the need for a little rest. All my time as an Alpha and I have never felt this way before. It became clear to me now how hard it must be on the womenfolk and why they always felt grumpy when planning events. Allen and I had been able to think about a number of things we wanted for Nicolette's birthday. It became clear that I did not know my wife well enough whilst he seemed to have everything about her in the palm of his hands which was embarrassing. I tried to overlook and foresee ahead of all these things and our bickering but it was rather impossible. I decided that I would keep in on my number one watch list while I reasoned with Ethan on just how to catch him in the act. He was going to pay with his life if I ever discovered that he had been anything clo

    XANDER'S POV"You told me her name when we were talking about the birthday plan." She said quickly but I heard the quivering in her tone. She was clearly scared and definitely had something to hide. All along, I had been playing it cool but it would seem that being cool was not the path to go with liars.Suddenly, it dawned on me that I was being surrounded by liars who cared nothing about how I felt or what was happening to me. They all seemed to want to toy with me and pick out bits and bits off my flesh just to satisfy themselves which made it really scary. "I remember telling you that I would send you her details when I arrive home tonight. You didn't ask after her name. Care to explain?" I demanded.Suddenly, the sign of the phone going off came on and I knew she had hung up. Something was really fishy and I had no one to attach it to. I recalled her scent, it was vividly that of a human and there had been nothing special about her when I saw it except the fact that she was arch

    DELA'S POVI found out.To think that I had been smart and careful all along only to let down my guard upon my very first encounter with Xander was really something. It had been years since I stayed in the background, secretly watching Nicolette and seeking the best ways possible to get closer.We had separated at some point when I felt she would be able to stand on her own two feet as I went into seclusion which was a thing with us witches. It used to be the best time when we could gather up the potency of our powers and also return stronger.Mine had taken me years as my times out of practice when playing nanny to the child had been something else. I reckoned how young she had been when I fled away from her with a promise that I would always be watching her. It had been long years in the dark cave where I lost track of time.I returned to find my dear child as that was what I saw her as, married to someone dangerous. Xander was never supposed to happen and the more I dug into his fa

    ZIBELLE'S POV"Just act naturally and lead her to us. We'll take it from there." Those were her words on the phone when she called me on this day that the plan had been set up.It was only a couple of days to Nicolette's birthday party which we all could tell now that in anticipation, Xander was making bigger plans. I have been keeping up tabs with her and playing the caring friend and anticipating godmother to Nicolette.I had a thing tomorrow also. My fashion show and hopefully, should things go as planned today then I would be a free woman and minding both my business and my show.Clearly, I had been lacking good sleep as all my thoughts were filled with the fear of being found out or betrayed by Laurel who had always been known to be up to no good.I got out of bed sluggishly dressing up and eventually got prepared. I decided that I would call Nicolette just so we could do some shopping."Zibs, what's up?" An excited Nicolette said to me over the phone.The happiness and innocenc

  • MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: Married To The Mated Alpha    Chapter 117

    XANDER'S POV I could not believe I had missed all of that in my rush. To think that Zibelle had been so aloof should have told me all I needed to know about what was actually happening. We arrived at the place she was hosting her show and then found the luxury cars that were scattered around outside the premises. It was clear the attendees were no persons of ordinary caliber. I turned to my men coming down from their car behind mine. "Smoke the area to make certain there are no other wolves. If she has taken Nicolette, then she's not in this alone." I said to them, "What about me, Alpha?" The werewolf who had driven me to the place turned to ask. "You're coming with me as backup. Where's the gamma?" I asked, noticing Adriana was nowhere to be found. "None can tell, Alpha. She's been missing since the proclamation of Allen's banishment." He said. I nodded my head knowingly. That could be understood knowing how much she actually cared about Allen. She probably was out there weepin

    XANDER'S POV"Don't do this, Xander. You know I'm innocent." Allen said to me as he stood before me in the dark woods.I had already declared him a criminal and he was to be banished. The more I looked at him now, all I could think of was the fact that he had probably won Nicolette's heart."Tell me then, where is she?" I asked him."Buddy, I swear this to you. I have no idea where she is but together I know we can find her." He said to me,My face grimaced. He still had the nerve to lie to me after all this while. What was so hard about the truth."I actually thought you were my friend but apparently, you're a cheap liar. These are the borders, go and don't return." I said to him avoiding his eyes."Xander, please." He said to me,His voice was shaky and I knew he was probably crying at this point. "The next time I lay eyes on you,.it shall be your death. I'll give you the grace and time to get these fixed. Return my wife to me or I shall hunt you for the rest of your miserable life

  • MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: Married To The Mated Alpha    Chapter 115

    NICOLETTE'S POVI could not go the way out as there was no telling how many men had been left out there to tame me. The only way I could think of was the high scaled window and what I needed now was a really big leap. One mistake and I would certainly be caught again. I thought of the baby, breathing within me and all I had endured all along. Nothing would have to go wrong, right? No way was I going to lose my child for my friend that so easily had backstabbed me.I looked right at the concoction that had been given to me. Who's to say it is not actually poison?Either way, I took a deep breath right now as I made the biggest leap yet of my life. It was a lot for me to take in as I jumped really high until I hit myself against the window pane. It suddenly burnt and I nearly let go and lost control as I had not been prepared to find that it was made out of pure silver. My feet had lost their footing and it took me a while to balance up. I started to climb over the window, burns and a

  • MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: Married To The Mated Alpha    Chapter 114

    NICOLETTE'S POVI was locked in this room in the cabin. The cabin was divided into two parts and I could not help but notice how it was being built to have just a single entrance. My prison room had a window that seemed really high for me but I knew I needed to figure out a way to escape.As commanded, Maxwell's men did not attempt to lay hands on me for now because there was actually no telling what would become of me when the evil duo decided to come for me. They were working together crying out loud!Who knows right now what Zibelle has been up to acting selling me out cheaply. It was a little wonder as to what Laurel must have promised her and right now, I was beginning to question our entire friendship that seemed to be based on a lie.Was there a possibility that all these years together had meant nothing or had she been spying on me from the very beginning? I was confused at this point that I could not even begin to think about it. I sat down there, recounting and wondering if

    MAXWELL'S POVSeeing Nicolette after all this while was really something and I suddenly felt this tinge of elation towards her. She seemed not so happy to see me and I could have sworn that there was fear in her eyes when she looked at me. Was she by any chance thinking that I would hurt her or something? I would never...I guessed I spoke too soon as suddenly I heard it. The faint beating of that steady heart that he had implanted in her womb. It made me feel a surge of anger swim through me as I watched her steadily."You're indeed pregnant." I said to her,"Let me go." She said to me,"Go? You're free to go, Nicolette. That's the way." I said pointing out where she had just come from.She looked rather confused as she stared back at me. It would come to seem as though I have begun playing games on her.A couple of seconds and she turned back to find that there was no one on her path. Not even Laurel stood there as they all cleared a way for her in the middle.Nicolette was skeptica

  • MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: Married To The Mated Alpha    Chapter 112

    XANDER'S POVI suddenly felt restless after I had left the witch who apparently had been shot. She probably died on the way but something seemed to be bugging as suddenly, I felt a heart wrenching pain on my chest."Nicolette..." My wolf cried out weakly. "Trouble."I had to hastily return to my car and start the ignition immediately. Whatever this was, I would be needing to get to the root of it immediately. I tried to start the car again but the damned pain returned again, this time more searing and I knew she was in trouble.I quickly decided to dial Allen. He had probably gotten to her or something. The guy took the phone immediately on the second ring and then I asked if he had seen Nicolette today."Not really but I received a call from the pack house security. She's gone missing and is not taking her calls." He said to me,"Why didn't you call me immediately?" I yelled at him, putting the car in motion."Because they said you would react badly. We were hoping to find her before

    NICOLETTE'S POVI could not believe that this was happening as I tried to take a quick glance at Zibelle who apparently averted her eyes. She was clearly not going to look at me after her sore betrayal.Laurel walked over to me and right then I saw some persons with torches go over to the entrance and block it off with the caution sign. That way, no vehicle would pass this way again."How could you do this to me?" I asked Zibelle who kept looking away as she came off from the vehicle."Oh, so sad but you should know that Zibelle and I have always been best buddies right from our school days. We love and care about each other. Hence, it should not come as a surprise that you have been sold out." Laurel said as she opened my side of the car. "Out."I hesitated but reckoned that she would deal with me even as I noticed eyes glowing in the dark. There were other werewolves here but certainly, not from our pack. They reeked and I knew being pregnant and outnumbered was not the time to fig
