ALLEN'S POV

"Hey, buddy." I said to Xander as I came inside and took a spare seat just right after Nicolette. Laurel was opposite us both and Xander was right there at the head of the table.

"Keys?" He demanded.

"Funny enough that you would ask for keys first. What if something had happened to me, wouldn't you at least inquire about me?" I shot at him just to do a little bit of guilt tripping.

"Well, you are here now and whole. So, my keys." He stated with a mischievous glance.

"What's the difference between death and now?" I muttered as I searched through my pocket and then threw his keys at him. It was not my intention but it landed directly in his soup causing it to splash at his face.

"Oops." I muttered.

"That certainly was intentional." Xander said to me.

"No, it was not and you know it." I said to him,

"Lair." He said wiping his face as he called the maids to take the soup away and get him another while they served mine too. I decided not to argue but simply turned to Nicol

    ALLEN'S POV Seriously, if there ever was a time to refer to as dinner on heat, it had to be this one certainly. I could simply not believe Laurel and what she was doing at the moment nor could I confront her openly. It would seem to me that a part of my male brain cell actually enjoyed what she had been doing but then there was my conscience saying an everlasting no to her gimmicks. Things with Laurel were never so ordinary or pure. There certainly had to be a catch to this game of hers which I would certainly not be willing to play at. I had Xander confused as to the fact that I was sweating all over now and swallowing more saliva than I did my meal. I glared at Laurel but the evil seductress was busy with her food without looking at me. She was too focused on her meal leaving me hanging and wondering how she managed both pretext and seduction at a time. She had to be the real version of what I would term a super woman but as a villainess. There was nothing good ever to come off

    ETHAN'S POV "So you think they'll fall for it?" I asked the person on the other end of the line."Absolutely. They already fell for it but I just need to be certain that he does not know I have any part in this." The voice from the end responded."Of course not, you my dear, happens to be my secret weapon and I would never let anyone near you." I reassured."Very well then, I must return to base now and keep things at a low profile. I cannot have them suspect anything." The voice said."Um... one little thing I must ask of you, if he shows signs of growing weak and tries to make a confession, find a way to put an end to him." I said with so much authority."Of course." Came the response and the little beep told me that our call was ended.Things had begun going my way and as planned which was something really good to think about. I made my way to the little bar in my sitting room corner and grabbed myself a bottle of scotch. It was really great how things were actually beginning to

    ALLEN'S POV Standing there and waiting on my stalker was not working as it seemed as the moment I paused to wait for whoever to make a move and reveal themselves, there was absolute silence. Had I been imagining things or what because it was seemingly confusing. I waited a little bit and then concluded it was all probably playing out in my head. I started out again with my sprint only to hear the same sound behind me. I stopped once again but whoever had been careful enough to stop and hide. Instantly, my wolf's eyes lit up as I scrutinized the entire area. I could tell from the hunches I had been getting that someone was fast on my trail but who was what I could not tell. Could it be now that I was about to get assassinated by the enemy spies out here in the woods or something. That was impossible because I had not stepped on any toes but simply had been carrying out my duties as a Beta. Either way, I cared less. If any believed it would be easy to kill me then they had just m

    LAUREL'S POV I understand that it might be looking that I was desperate but then, why hide the fact that I actually was desperate. I had been basically indoors nearly all day after I noticed that Xander was not around and Nicolette had decided to stay in the kitchen fixing all meals. It was her stressors getting overworked and not mine as I reckoned that the maids were not assisting her as they had with me. She was all alone in the kitchen but I was not planning on going to offer her help. The previous day after staying in that kitchen, I had noticed that it was probably the heat but there were dark patches on my face. I had been on an exfoliating mask for a longer part of my night and made certain that I had applied every last bit of my beauty care products to my face. I could not have myself looking anything dull. Hence, when I had woken up and found out that she was in the kitchen, I remained in my bedroom and only came out the first time during breakfast which she had ma

    LAUREL'S POV This would go down in history as the height of all embarrassments. I had initially thought that he would want to cooperate with me seeing that he had not made any move at exposing me during dinner or perhaps, he was just playing hide and seek with me. I was filled with so much rage that I could actually begin to control myself but still for the benefit of a doubt, I had decided to wait a little while just in case he was playing hard to get and return. I stood there in the middle of the woods right at the clearing but still Allen did not show up. I feared now that he just might blabber about it to Xander and that would mean the end for me and all I had been doing all this while. I needed to find a way around all this which would mean that I needed Xander on my side as soon as possible. It was something that could not wait until the morning. needed to start it at this very moment. Thanks to the bond of mates though, I knew I was only a step away from carrying out my plan

    NICOLETTE'S POV"You are the worst best friend to roam the earth's surface." I teased Zibelle. Sad enough, my best friend was out there having herself a quiet life while I sat down here in a crazy house I am now sharing with my dear husband's mate. How pathetically stupid it sounded. I had managed to push through dinner without making an actual scene especially with how Laurel kept seeking out ways to grit my nerves. I was really pissed, prompting my response to her. She deserved everything and more which I had displayed during dinner and I most certainly could go on and on. The lady clearly had no shame or conscience with how she was behaving like she had some claim to my husband. She might have had it before but certainly not now.After dinner, I bade Allen a good night and made for the safety of my bedroom as I could not bring myself to see her face anymore. All she had been doing from the point of her arrival had been set on getting me prickled and I was just not in for her dram

    XANDER'S POV It was shocking and how it all happened, too sudden. One minute, I had been in my study minding my business after Laurel terrorized my door and the next minute, I was underneath her and receiving kisses right in her room. To think I had actually gone there to see what it was that was causing her to scream so loudly and had discovered how dumb she was to have put off her light and probably bumped her leg somewhere. She was a really good actress because the moment I saw her in so much pain, my heart felt the heart wrenching pain of its entire time and then, I went to help only for her to grab me. I should have resisted her and I know it now, I could have pushed her off but I just could not and laid down there on the floor while she straddled me and kissed me. If I was being sincere, a greater part of me was actually enjoying what she was doing and wished she would continue nonstop but then, Nicolette arrived. She had walked in on us with the question of what was happenin

    XANDER'S POV How on earth had I decided to follow through with questioning Laurel that I had forgotten all about my wife. I heard the door slam hard and I ran after her but then, she had already made it to her car and locked the doors. I began frantically tapping on her window as I could not have her go out by this time and with this mood of hers. I was asking her to stop so I would explain to her but she would not listen. I could see her tear filled eyes as she turned on the ignition and then started the car. I certainly would not let her out of the house, not in this mood. The moment she turned on the ignition and her car's engine roared to life, I rushed over in front of her as her headlights flashed on me. Nicolette was certainly having none of my drama as she backed up just a little and drove away. I knew what to do and ran back inside just to grab my keys and started my motorbike which I had sent into the garage. Luckily, I had been quick enough to spot her driving recklessly

    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
