ANTONELLA'S POVI was not out for a long time.I woke up less than five minutes later to the familiar smell of burning wood and when I looked up, I saw that half the building had been engulfed by the flames already.I gasped in shock as I rose up to my feet. Alpha Xavier was still in there and I had to do something.As I considered my next move, another part of the building exploded, a mini explosion this time that I guessed had been triggered by the first. That part started burning as well and the fire grew rapidly.I considered my options quickly. Was it wise to run into a building that was possibly laced with more bombs that could kill me just because I wanted to save him? And the Alpha I wanted to save too. He didn't even care about me. He hated me, because of my Father. Why should I help him now that he needed me?Surely, it would be better to take my chances and try escaping. I thought about it for a while and then Nala growled in my head again."Save the Alpha," she muttered.
SALVADOR'S POVI woke up with a start and I felt someone's fingers running through my hair. I tried to get up to my feet but I was too weak.Turning around, I saw that it was Antonella, Alpha Demontes' evil daughter.What was she doing so close to me? Why was she running her hands through my hair? Had I forgiven her already? And did she know that I was Salvador?Many thoughts ran through my head as I struggled to recollect the memory of the events that had occurred.Slowly, I started remembering every single thing. We had come to Dennis' shop and after I had selected my clothes for the ball, I had instructed her to take it to the car. She had carried them to the car and I was still conversing with my friend when we heard the loud sound of the explosion.That was the last thing I could remember clearly. The rest of my memory was hazy and scattered, in bits and pieces. I could remember her staring into my eyes, breaking a door with an axe and dragging me out of the building.Yes! That w
ANTONELLA'S POVI had watched as the Alpha ranted on and on about how I poisoned him. To say the least, I was disappointed. I didn't think that after saving his life and staying beside him for a whole day, he would have the mind to accuse me of trying to kill him. If I wanted to kill him, I could have just left him in the building to burn. As his eyes closed slowly, I knew he was falling out of consciousness again. I waited until he was down on the floor before I went up to him.I nursed him back to life with the help of the herbs I had gotten from the forest and waited for him to recover again.All the while as I waited for him to come back to life, I considered my options again. I still had the chance to run away and leave him there but I was running out of time. I knew that as an Alpha, he was going to be well again with the right treatment before the end of the next day. If I wanted to do anything, I had to do it now.Running away was a good option but when I thought more about
SALVADOR'S POVDan helped me up to my feet and to the car they had come in. He put me in the back seat while he sat at the front with Martinez at the wheel."And Antonella?" I turned to him. "You want to leave her there all by herself?""I was waiting for your orders, Alpha," Dan grunted in response and turning to Antonella, he added. "Come on in."The brave and determined Antonella that I had seen over the past two days suddenly disappeared and was now replaced with the former version that I was already familiar with - the shy and scared girl that flinched at every touch and harsh word from me, my Beta and my chief guard. I felt a pange of guilt as she started towards the car. She didn't deserve to be treated that way. After all, she had saved my life."We don't have all day!" Martinez growled and blared the car horn at her.The sound of the car horn jolted her and she increased her pace at once. She entered the car and sat down beside me without a word and I nodded at Martinez. He
ANTONELLA'S POVAfter my little episode with Alpha Xavier, Dan and Martinez had driven us back to the pack.All the way, I couldn't say a word. I feared that they would be out for me, especially Martinez. I knew that they would be waiting for me to say the wrong thing, and then they would capitalize on it to kill me. I had tried my best to stay close to Alpha Xavier as possible out of fear of what they could do to me and when we had finally gotten to the pack, they dismissed me like a dog.I had left the car in tears after Martinez growled at me to leave their Alpha alone and get back to my slave duties. I thought that saving Xavier would make them trust me a little bit more but as I found out that day, I was wrong.It had been just a day after the incident occured and the two annoying maids I worked with in the kitchen would not stop talking about it."She really thought she could have the Alpha in her arms just because she fed him some meat and berries for two days," one of them who
ANTONELLA'S POVAs Griselda inched closer to me, my heart started pounding in my chest again. What if she had bad intentions? Griselda held me by the hand and led me away from the watchful eyes of the two kitchen maids. She stopped at the end of the hallway and pushed the door to a room open."Come on in," She said.I peeped inside the room first. It was dark and dusty, like an abandoned attic. Cobwebs hung from every corner of the ceiling, and the walls were dilapidated, with mould growing over them."Griselda," I muttered, as I stared at her. "Where is this place?""Come on, don't tell me you're scared," Griselda chuckled. "Come on in. I don't bite."I watched as she walked into the dark room and I waited for her to go a long distance before I took my first step in. Immediately I walked in, the door shut close and Griselda turned to glare at me."What did you do with the Alpha, the other day?" She asked.Her eyes turned a dangerous shade of yellow and it was then that I realized w
SALVADOR'S POV"Dan!"The sound of my voice made him stop dead in his tracks. He turned around and met my gaze."Don't you dare walk out on your Alpha!"Dan sighed and threw his arms in the air."Fine!" He growled. He walked back to the room and closed the door behind him."You really want to hear it from my mouth don't you? You want me to tell you that what you did was crazy, insane, not befitting an Alpha of this great pack - ""Mind your words, Dan," I warned. "Remember that you are still speaking with the Alpha of this pack."Dan calmed down a bit and he sighed."I'm sorry, Salvador," He said in a voice a little above a whisper. "But all I've said is the truth. Nothing but the truth. Why would you even think of doing something as rash as that?""I did it to test the girl!" I growled. "And you keep focusing on how I shouldn't have done it! Have you even bothered asking me the result of my test?"Dan calmed down a notch at the realization of what I had just said."Did it work?" He
ANTONELLA'S POVI didn't see the Alpha when he walked in. I couldn't tell if Hermes had seen him or not, but the next minute, his kiss landed on my lips. It was short and I made no move to disconnect from him - until our eyes met.I jolted, shocked by his presence and I drew away from Hermes at once. Hermes was all smiles by then. He had used me to get the Alpha jealous and I knew it quite well.Alpha Xavier marched up up us, fire burning in his eyes and Hermes' grin only widened."How dare you!" He roared as he approached us.He slapped Hermes hard across his cheek and Hermes staggered back a little. "Alpha Xavier!" I cried and pushed him away. "You'll hurt him."Hermes fell to the floor and I rushed to get him up."Are you okay?" I asked.Hermes was not responding. He lay still on the floor and I wondered if he was okay."Hermes?"Alpha Xavier was mad with anger as I ignored him and attended to Hermes. He had been expecting me to apologize for what I did, but that was definitely no
ANTONELLA’S POVI thought it was all over when he appeared. Suddenly my life didn’t seem like a mess anymore. The mere glimpse of him had my heart filled with hope again and I felt home in his arms. He was it for me.We were hand in hand when he suddenly stopped and I was made to turn my head around. A supposed dead witch was behind him with a sword she had driven into him.When I rushed to him, I felt like my world was crumbling down. The walls of hope that sprouted in my heart suddenly crashed grinding itself into a fine grain. With the snap of a finger she took it away again.My mind was ringing with pain, I could feel his pain. My heart raced and I could feel an anger I was sure was not mine but his that he was projecting.I waited a while for his wounds to start to heal but nothing happened. I was so focused on him that I had zoned out from everything else going on around me. Like I didn’t have a witch who was hell bent on making a sacrifice out of me.“Don’t bother. He’s not goi
SALVADOR’S POVI spent the whole day searching for the items I needed. It became frustrating by the minute when I couldn’t find the herbs but when I was eventually able too, I pulled it out from its root without thinking too much about it.Danny was dead so I was left to do everything without him. There was no doubt that from the way I was feeling, a hole had been left deep in my heart. I should have been able to take his body with me, to give him a proper burial. I also wanted more than anything to grieve him but time was running out.I was lucky enough to have found the herbs the time that I did. Then I found my way to a safe house the guys and I used to hide in whenever we needed to take a break from a mission. The house didn’t feel like it used to. This time it was unusually colder than normal like the house too knew that Danny was gone.I set the herb and mountain ash aside and searched for my gun. This time I didn’t want to give her any room to escape or even survive. I didn’t a
ANTONELLA’S POVMy hands and feet were bound and so was my father’s. We have had to take a long walk and were brought to the Eastern Province. The land looked dead, like it had been cursed or something.The moment we crossed over into the border, I felt disconnected to my wolf which made me look at my father with questionable eyes.Freya didn’t seem to need her guards anymore since she had us both right where she wanted up – to be weak and have no means of escape whatsoever.The grass that should have been green like the ones close to it were dried to their roots and they were covered in ash. Thankfully my feet weren’t bare.Freya had my father tied a wooden pole where he would have no means to run off or even try to help me.She then walked towards with and pulled on my arm. She walked up to a place on the field that had this massive hole in it.I didn’t know why there was a hole there but I didn’t really care, I just wanted her to let us go. When we got to the edge, I stared at her
SALVADOR’S POVI was sure I looked lifeless. Two days had passed and I held on to my decision about not making Red my Luna. She could take it however she wanted but I didn’t want her in the least of ways. My love for Antonella has hit a point where it was impossible for me to want someone else even if it was just for business which I was sure this was going to be.Red didn’t bother showing up but her men did. For two days she had sent them over to ask of my decision and for two days I sent them back with the same answer refusing. I didn’t know how she planned on keeping us but I was sure I wanted to get out of the holding cell.Danny was in chains to which I was guilty for. It was her way of punishing me for refusing her by letting me watch my best friend in pain.On the third supposed day that Antonella was going to be killed, Red showed up with an angry expression. “I’m surprised that your defiance to make me your Luna doesn’t match one bit with your proclaimed love for Antonella. I
SALVADOR’S POVI hadn’t realised that I had passed out. My eyes fluttered open and I looked around where I was. Beside me was a chained Danny who seemed to be in pain. I looked at my own hands to find that I too was chained to the wall.In front of me with the most annoying smile was Red. She looked as calm as a child about to get a candy from his parent. I hated it.“Oh you’re awake” she chirped with that sickly smile of hers.I yanked at the chain and barred my teeth at her, a growl rumbling in my chest. She was startled for a second even placing a hand on her chest.“Ooh feisty, just the way I like it.” She purred almost making me gag. She pointed at me, and spoke to one of the guards standing with her. “Cut him loose.”He obeyed and did was he was told. I stayed calm as he did even though I was tempted to snap his neck and hers. I wanted to make sure that both Danny and I were lose first before doing anything but she didn’t ask for him to be cut loose.“I’m not going anywhere wit
ANTONELLA’S POVFreya was no longer in the room. She left right after my father agreed and gave her permission for the province. I didn’t know nor understand why she was hell bent on getting on that land but judging from the lengths she was going for it, her plans were no good.I had questions for my father, but my body felt too weak to move much less my mouth forming words. There were also a lot I wanted to say to him. I wanted to read him the, I told you so line just so he could remember that I had warned him about her.There were only three of us left. Myself, bleeding badly and my wounds pulsing, then my father and a guard. The other left with her to goddess knows where. Not that I cared or anything.I could feel my body healing but slower than they should. Maybe it was because I was too weak and so was my wolf.I raised my head with much difficulty and saw my father sharing a look with the guard that was in the same room as we were. It was as though they were communicating and my
SALVADOR’S POV“I’m sorry you want me to what now?” I asked unbelief etching my face. What the fuck kind of crazy was she blabbing about?“I want you to make me your Luna, Alpha King. Agree to that and I won’t just tell you about everything you want to know, I will also help you defeat the witch.” Red answered seductively.If I was any other man, I would have agreed to it since she was a very pretty woman. But the whole reason why I came to her was to save the woman I wanted to make my Luna.“Yeah, that’s not going to happen. I already have someone I want as my Luna, in fact, she’s the reason I need the information from you. You’ll have to think of something else because this isn’t going to work.”To say I was shocked was an understatement. What would make her say such a thing knowing I came here for the woman I loved?“That’s the only way I can help you though. Or don’t you want to kill the wicked witch anymore?”She had a sickly smile that I wanted to smack off her face. I glanced o
ANTONELLA’S POVI was curled on the ground with my head on my knees. My hands were still pressed against my ears trying so hard to shut the voices out. Freya was still humming, a song that she knew I hated.The room had gone back to being dark and I had nowhere to run to.“Poor little Antonella. Look at you, all pathetic now without the help of your father and friends.” Freya sang between hums. This time her voice went back to bouncing on the walls and not in my head.I felt like I could breathe a little bit even though for the most of it, I still needed more air in my lungs. I was still on the floor when I felt things, with tiny legs start to crawl on my skin. I jerked up from that position to a standing one and started to swat around my body. I didn’t know what it was, I couldn’t touch anything, couldn’t feel anything either.“Please make it stop. Please.” I begged with fresh tears streaming down my face. I was certain my face looked swollen from how much I had been crying because m
SALVADOR’S POVBefore Danny and I stood a woman dressed and accessorised in the brightest red I had ever seen. It was everywhere that it was hurtful to the eyes to see. But I couldn’t deny that she had a pretty face and a sexy body. Except for the red she had everywhere, in normal clothes she would be regarded as gorgeous. Red lips, Red Hair, Red everything.“Your King is a woman?” I asked and the man didn’t answer. The whole area became pin drop silent and every one of them bowed.“You said there were two men here to see me.” I heard her say like she didn’t notice the men on her floor.The rogue pointed at us, “These are the Alpha King and his Beta. They requested an audience with you.”He sounded nonchalant and her eyes snapped at him. “You made the fucking Alpha King knee on the ground? Are you dense?” she shrieked. He grabbed onto his neck, her claws prodding out and she looked ready to kill.I winced at how loud she was. How did she even go from being calm to crazy in a second?S
