XANDER'S POV

I could not believe that Laurel would come and ruin this blissful moment I was having with Nicolette. It felt really good to have come home and meet with the woman you love. This was planned so well until she had to come show herself.

Had she not done enough already to tear us apart? Why on earth was she hell bent on making my life more miserable than she already had made it. I glared at her angrily now as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Hey, don't give me that look. It's not my fault your new mate ain't as mature as the old one." She said pointing to herself.

I nearly laughed out my frustrations and the fact that she thought of herself as matured. What was giving these hopes to Laurel and why would I care about how Nicolette behaved? I could simply not fault her as all my anger was channeled at Laurel for daring to show up at such a blissful moment. I had actually been thinking she would have left by now but here she actually was before me and causing more harm to my relati

    LAUREL'S POV I could not believe my ears and eyes. Xander had just walked out on me over Nicolette and it had been without care. It hurt me really bad as I looked around to find the amusement in the faces of the servants. I nearly sneered at them loudly but simply glared hard at them."What's so funny?" I demanded with what I would call a low growl as they quickly walked away but their chattering was not something I could have missed.They referred to me as a home wrecker and a person of really low standards. How could they refer to me as thus? I was always perfect in the things that I do and I was not a homewrecker since I was merely striving to regain what had initially been rightfully mine. Was that so hard to understand? How could they have forgotten so soon and transferred all their loyalty to Nicolette?Suddenly, I heard the giggles upstairs from the two lovebirds that were clearly celebrating their festival of deceit. Yes, deceit. They were clearly deceiving each other with

    MAXWELL'S POV I had returned back to the pack after going to check on my plans that were at the verge of being ruined and was told afterwards that a woman had come looking for me and when I asked, I was told she was Xander's mate. Not Nicolette but the original mate who by now I knew would be his ex mate. I wondered why they had not stalled her for me but got over it when they had given me her message on where to wait for her and the time.As a man on a mission, the minute it was almost time, I was already there and waiting for her to show up but she did not. I had been hoping to see her so we could brood together over the loss of our mates as right now, I wanted nothing more than to ruin the new found relationship between Xander and Nicolette. The moon goddess had no right to reallocate mates when she had not given us a chance to prove ourselves worthy. I mean, who else as an Alpha would want to bring in an Omega as a wife? Much less, one we had nothing to look into regarding her

    LAUREL'S POV This guy and his guts were getting to me and I was beginning to feel anger running through my spine. I wanted to take on these men myself but he would not go. I could tell he was a werewolf but definitely a meddling one as I stood there watching him take the three men on. They tried to put up a fight but in less than five minutes, he had them lying around in pain as he yelled at them to make a run for it or he would put them down for good. Now, he looked at me."They're gone. Let's get you out of here." He said to me,I looked up at him angrily now."I had them all covered. I could have handled them myself and you didn't have to intervene." I said angrily to him."And you're welcome. Seriously, you were going to kill them." He said to me,"And you know how?" I asked him."In case you have not noticed, I'm a werewolf, just as you are." He said to me,"Oh, you're a werewolf and I'm probably not smart enough to know what you are. You're a meddler and you should mind your

    ALLEN'S POV I did not answer her question if that is what you all are wondering because I had nothing to say to her. I could not say I did not love Nicolette either but simply struggled as I got off the table and staggered out of the place. She came after me and I did not stop here."Wait, where are you going?" She asked me."Home." I said to her."And where is home?" She asked me."Away from you and all of this." I said as I fidgeted with my keys.Seriously, this drink was rather too harmful to us werewolves as its drunkenness lasted for longer than I had expected it to last. It was rather too strong and I could have sworn there might be a 0.3 percent chance of it being laced with wolfsbane. I needed to get relaxed right now while Adriana stood there observing me steadily. I wanted to ask her what her issue was right now and what it mattered to her whether or not I loved Nicolette but that would be me rubbing it in. She approached me with a smile on her face but I was not settled r

    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

    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
