ANTONELLA'S POVAs soon as Hermes left, I turned around and headed back to the palace again. I had scores to settle with the Alpha and the earlier I settled them, the better for me. He had seen Hermes kiss me, and I didn't want him having the wrong impression about the relationship I had with Hermes.Hermes was nothing more than a friend to me, and our relationship was not platonic at all. I walked through the open doors of the hallway and I caught Griselda at a far corner. She was standing beside the door to a room and she growled in anger when she saw me.In less than a month of my stay there, I had successfully gathered more enemies than I had gathered friends all my life. I turned away from her and increased my pace until I got to the door of the Alpha's room. I pushed it open and walked in. I was not expecting to meet him there and when I saw him sitting on the bed, all the confidence I had managed to gather left me.What was I even doing? Why was I trying to offer him an expla
SALVADOR'S POVI was still boiling in anger as Antonella left my presence.Just a few minutes ago, I had watched Hermes kiss her. She had not resisted it then, but I knew it was just Hermes trying to get at me. He was trying to make me jealous then.I had vented out my anger on the bastard with a slap and after they left, I had followed them secretly.It was heartbreaking for me, watching them kiss a second time. This one was not a mistake. Hermes had not forced it. Antonella knew what she was doing and she probably enjoyed every single moment of it.My Antonella! If there was anyone that deserved to have a taste of her cherry red lips, it was me and not Hermes. We had been friends since childhood, and we had shared so much together, until her father killed my parents, and even now that I was considering the fact that she might actually be good unlike her father, she was off kissing my enemy.Dan watched me as I fumed. I knew that he would not understand my anger and I didn't expect h
SALVADOR'S POVAs soon as Griselda left, my brain started working quickly. How was I going to punish Antonella? Apart from making her jealous of Griselda, there had to be something else I could do, something to cause her so mucho physical pain for making me watch that scene with Hermes."Antonella!" Griselda's voice was still sharp even from a distance.An idea hit me just then and I considered the possibility. I smiled at the thought of what I planned to do and paced around my room in excitement. I was going to make her pay dearly for what she had done.I moved to my chair and sat down. The bracelet I had given to Antonella was still working perfectly and it was time for me to use it again.I heard a gentle knock on my door and I figured that Griselda had found her already. "Come on in," I ordered.The door slid open slowly and Griselda pushed Antonella in so hard that I barely resisted the urge to reach out to Antonella and grab her hands to prevent her from falling. Griselda notic
ANTONELLA'S POVI could not believe it was really happening to me. As I walked away from him, tears filled my eyes. I willed the ground to open up and swallow me but it didn't. I had just watched the Alpha make out with Griselda. It was a horrific scene, one I wished I could quickly erase from my memory.I knew that was not going to be possible however. I was going to be seeing them together for a very long time, in the pack, and also, in my head.What worsened matters was the fact that the Alpha had given me a nearly impossible task to accomplish. He had sent me to the borders of the pack, the same borders that we both knew was very dangerous, just to get him a rare spice. I had the feeling that he was doing all these just to get back at me, for spending time with the man he hated, Hermes. I stopped at the grand doors that led to the palace and I looked around. It was probably going to be the last time I saw all the faces I was already used to around here. The chances of me survi
ANTONELLA'S POVThe shirtless Alpha walked up to where we stood and pushed Griselda away from me. "She's not your maid!" He growled. "Don't you ever touch her again."Griselda swallowed hard and nodded before running out of the room. I could see the tears that welled up in her eyes before she left and I knew that I was going to be in more trouble whenever Alpha Xavier decided to release me."And you," He snickered as he stared me down. "Where are the spices I asked for?"I brought out the ginger I had gotten and handed it over to him. He stared at it in my hands for the better part of a minute before finally collecting it.I was shocked when Alpha Xavier carelessly let go of the ginger, allowing it fall to the marble floor below. Our eyes met and his were burning with rage."What is this?" He growled.Before I could even think of a response, he brought his boot down on the ginger. He stomped it continuously and in a matter of seconds, I was staring at the powdered form of all my effo
SALVADOR'S POVI could not believe my ears. All my life, I had never heard Antonella raise her voice. I had never seen her get genuinely angry at someone, and it was very ironic that her first was me.I could understand her anger though. I had not treated her well, but it was only because I had not grown to fully trust her then, and now that I had started to develop the trust in her, she had made our relationship complicated by kissing Hermes, not even once, but twice! Moreover, Dan was watching me. I could not apologize to her in his presence. As the Alpha of the pack, I was never wrong. I had to find a way to turn the situation on her head."How dare you even raise your voice on your Alpha?" I growled."You are not my Alpha," Antonella retorted. "I'm not a wolf of your pack."My blood was boiling within me already. Antonella had the guts to talk back at me! "You didn't get me what I wanted," I growled. "And you still have the guts to challenge me?""I got you all you wanted, Xavie
DEMONTES' POVIt had been a week since Freya's attempt to help me recover fully turned out badly. Since that day, I had refused to eat. The blood of my guard I had seen on the wall that day haunted me and I could not bring myself to do anything. I was downcast for the whole week. All Freya's further attempts to get me to eat or even stand up from my bed were futile. She had even gone as far as inviting a few Alpha's that I was in league with to talk to me and raise my hopes but it still didn't work.I didn't want to hear anything. I knew that someone was watching me. Someone wanted me dead, and I didn't know who it was. I woke up with a start that morning, a week after the first incident and from the way my stomach rumbled, I realized I could not continue to live like that. I had to try and eat something.Freya was in bed with me and when she noticed that I was up, she turned to face me."My King," she smiled at me. "You look better this morning."I didn't say a word in reply. I sta
DEMONTES' POVFreya had never been the loud type. Until today.She screamed so loud when I was inside her fully and I knew that all my guards would have heard her.In a matter of minutes, I had climaxed inside her and we lay exhausted on the floor, with our faces to the ceiling."What do you say we have that bath now?" Freya smiled at me."Good idea," I nodded, rising up.I took her hand and together, we rose up from the floor and headed for the bathroom. There, we took turns bathing each other and I struggled to keep my eyes away from her body all through. Freya chuckled, noticing the look on my face and when we were done, we dressed up quickly and headed for the dining.The table was set already when we got there and the scent of the food was entering my nostrils and making me hungrier. I wanted to start eating immediately but Freya was on a call, and we always ate together."Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed all of a sudden.She dropped the phone and when our eyes met again, I noticed
