LAUREL'S POV

I said what I said because I actually meant it. The wench should have remained dead and not have the whole world after her. Yes, Xander was the world. She clearly wanted him to follow her or else she would have waited for a really opportune time to leave the house on her suicide mission. I also was blaming myself because I had been the one who had actually told him that she was leaving and causing him to have to go after her. I should have remained mute and let the hands of fate decide for me. They clearly were in my favor until I ruined my chances. I was vexed right now but she was glaring.

"How dare you?" She asked in a near whisper.

"You know I could pull your pillow right over your face now and that would mark the end for you." I said to her

"You want to kill me?" She whispered.

"Do you want me to?" I asked her.

"You wouldn't dare." She shot at me.

I leant in closer to her and then glared directly into her eyes.

"And you think you can stop me?" I demand.

She stared d

    ALLEN'S POV I had never seen this side of Adriana. So calm, relaxed and even approachable. She stared at a particular seat in a manner that I grew worried that she probably wanted to sit there. She was just a Gamma and had been yet to advance with her compelling skills."Adriana, you do realize if you want to sit there, I will make arrangements for that." I said bringing her back to us.She scoffed, "wait, what would you do? Ask them to give up their seat?" She asked me.Clearly, she did not know about the hidden talent or something."Wait, you do know that I could compel them, right?" I asked her."I thought that skills are reserved for the vamps which by all means I would say are nonexistent." She said looking directly at me now."Well, that's what they say and we tend to keep it between us. Alpha's and their Beta's are usually granted the gift." I said to her,"What about Gamma's?" She asked me."Well, on rare occasions when they learn carefully, yes. If not, they are just Gamma

    NICOLETTE'S POV I watched as he locked the door behind her and made his way back to me as he stood there glaring at me."You hate me, I get it." I said to him."And why would I hate you?" He asked me.Yes, Nicolette, answer the damn question you have put on his mind. Perhaps, I had been hoping to get a little bit of empathy from him towards what his mate had done to me but I should never have played the hate card on him. I should have known better than to do that at this point."You know I did not conveniently spit on her, she had it coming." I said instead.Going defensive, soon I would have nowhere to run and I would face the music."Seriously? About Laurel when I just asked you a question? Is that the best you can do?" He asked, glaring at me.Clearly, he was pissed at me and was probably trying to keep himself from showing it all out to me. I had been the one that started with the paranoid thinking pattern and seeing that was me drifting, he did not want that. What I could see

    XANDER'S POV Now listen, I would not blame myself for losing it when everyone seemed to be getting on my nerves recently. To think that Nicolette of all persons would say those words to me really hurt and hit me in a different direction. I could not stand her ranting and knowing she had concussion was the basic reason why I had to leave so as not to drag her into hurting herself further. I had informed Martha of the situation and demanded that she go and look after her while I go get some fresh air outside. I sincerely wished right then that it was nighttime already so I could take a good wolfie sprint and make use of it. I got into my car and started driving like a heretic. Anyone could have sworn that I had suddenly lost my mind and was beginning to go crazy in a heartbeat. My mind was clearly placed on the one person that I could turn all my anger into and still make a good use of it. I got to my destination and hurriedly made my way down to the dungeons after handing my keys t

    LAUREL'S POV I had been inside and heard when Xander returned home. I had been preoccupied with thinking about what I was going to do or perhaps, what plans Ethan would come up with this time as it was clear to me he had something up his sleeves. I just could not fit in what exactly.Dinner time had come and gone without Xander's presence and that was how I knew he was not even in. This probably was the reason I had been awake to this opportune moment. His door slammed really hard and I heard him walking past the narrow corridor and from his pace, it was clear that he was angry. I smiled.What was Nicolette actually thinking? That she could get the man I craved for myself or something. It was really funny how she could think that of all persons, she could control Xander. Intuitively, I got out of bed and started rummaging through my suitcase for that one naughty nightie. It was one Ethan had gotten me as a gift and I recalled how he used to drool each time I wore it. He had said on

    XANDER'S POV I felt really dreamy as I woke up that morning and then felt someone lying on my chest. I smiled inwardly."Nicolette." I muttered.Just then, she held me a little tighter and I knew she was awake. How we had ended up in bed together, I had no idea because all I could remember right now was walking out on her and then going to drink myself to stupor and then Laurel came...Wait, what? Laurel? Intuitively, I opened my eyes and from the ceiling above me to the scent I had not taken notice of, I could tell where I was and it had nothing to do with my room. I looked down at the person lying on my chest and holding onto me tightly as her naked breasts pressed to me and from her hair, I knew who it was. I pushed her away as I looked right under the duvet."Good morning." She said to me as she rolled over exposing all her details.This was certainly not a good morning and I might be needing an explanation as I peered underneath and realized that I was naked. I did not even h

    NICOLETTE'S POVThe fact that I had driven him away had not left me. I had been questioning myself as to the reason why I had chosen to nag my husband when I could have played it better. I really struggled that night and through my sleep. At some point, I had a serious fever running through me that I had to reach for my phone and called Martha. I could not call Xander. Heaven knows where he must have gone in his fit of rage.But I had been hoping it was certainly not going to be Laurel. That would hurt badly. I was bleeding through my nose when Martha arrived as I could not bring myself to go back to the position I had been earlier thanks to my insistent haziness. I remained huddled over that caused her to panic the moment she caught sight of me."Oh my goodness!!! My lady!!!" She had called out as she rushed over to help me up.She brought me into an upright position and tilted my head to stop the bleeding but that was not helping. Eventually, Martha had to start cleaning me up and

    XANDER'S POV She had managed until she got to her room while I followed her steadily. I could really feel her pain. The pain I had caused her as she moved on and one with tear filled eyes. Each time I drew nearer to her or tried to touch her, she would glare at me and I had no other option than to back away and give her space. I had been worried that she was going to confront Laurel over the previous night and could not let her get through totally with it knowing how stuck on crazy the latter was. I was still yet to figure out what exactly had happened the previous night and certainly could not entertain further drama.Nicolette made it to her bedroom and opened the door. Just before I could enter, she whirled around and slammed it into my face and I heard her lock it. I felt her pain but if only she could feel how I was burning inside with intensity. I could not even think straight right now because she would not pay me attention. My insides were in turmoil and my mind in rampage

    ALLEN'S POV"Wake up sleepyhead. We need to return to base real quick." She said as she threw water over my face that morning.Seriously? Was she always this tough? Because I could certainly not understand this woman. We had such a lovely time last night after the restaurant as we decided to walk around. This was because she would rather not celebrate her birthday lavishly and so to make it special, I thought that it would be best if we take a memorable walk in respect to her mother and all our loved ones that passed on in that restaurant. I made her understand it was a tribute and to that she seemed quite okay with it.We had taken a really long walk side by side until we climbed up the viewers hill. It was a hill where people usually climb to overlook the city and some did say it brought one closer to the skies and invariably, closer to our loved ones above. There was a metal bench there but of course not made of argentum or I would never lead her there. We got up and then sat down

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
