Alpha Starr PovIn anger, I wanted to strangle her and at same time I wanted to believe her. I glanced at those glassy but defiant eyes. Somehow, I felt like they were accusing me of something. I still didn't want to believe otherwise. I wanted to cling to any tiny hope that they were all lying. She was my Arianna and those people were lying. That's what I wanted to believe. Not until I threatened her and watched how she was shivering in fear when she thought I wanted to rape her. That was how the first Arianna believed until we fell in love. Was she thinking I had turn into the beast I was before I fell for her? Why would I do that to the woman I loved?I know I had been very cruel to Arianna but I had never forced her to have sex with me. Perhaps, it was her innocence that made me not to but if she truly was Arianna, her expression wouldn't have been that of confusion.Rather, she would have bravely confronted me. She would have had those eyes I could never resist. Not these that
"My Lord, Lady Arianna had escaped! Something happened at the dungeon!" That was one of my warriors reporting to me.At first, my heart skipped a beat. I felt elated, more than happy to hear or rather believe that my Arianna might probably have escaped the clutches of that bastard.Then again, my mind nudged me toward the fact that no one knows about the different identities of the women who looked alike. Not even the warriors who took her to the dungeon. So, my elation melted and dissolved at that instant of realization.It wasn't my Arianna that escaped, it was that two-faced slut who I had assumed was mine till a few minutes ago. But how did she escape from a heavily guarded dungeon within less than twenty minutes of the arrest?"How did that happen?" I asked, icily. I raised my head to watch the warrior shiver under my cold glance."Your- your highness, she- she just vanished! After we kept her in the dungeon, she was screaming and all of a sudden, she was quiet. I went to check o
ABBY POVHow could I be so foolish as to play along with his answer? I could have just feigned memory loss. He would have bought it, after all, the doctor still hadn't certified me as properly healed. Instead, I danced along and got caught up in his plot. Seeing there was no way out, I embraced my fate and came out clean. I was too angered to think of the implications.It was already too late when I heard his voice calling out the guards to take me to the dungeon. I felt chills all over my body. If there was one place that was infamous in this pack, that was the dungeon.It was known to have catered bloody sentences to traitors and anyone suited for Alpha Starr's wrath. I wasn't going to be part of the bloodied people.I tried to reach out to my sister again but I was dragged out of the chamber even as I screamed aloud. Starr was heartless. That was obvious. I knew he was heartless and finding out I was fooling him all these days would not go down well with him.For a fact, I knew
ARIANNA POVIt's been three days staying with Giovanni. At first, I was adamant and wanted to prove to him that he can never replace Starr. I still do want to prove it to him but I needed new tactics.Giovanni wasn't a person to toy with even if his heart was inclined toward me. He was still sensible and would get to me as soon as I make a wrong move. This wasn't what I planned when I became friends with him.Uncertainties weren't something new to me yet I wanted it to be different when it came to my friend and the man who mated with me. The man who bought me yet had built his world around me. Although it wasn't farfetched that there were going to be issues from making friends with him, I never expected it would escalate to the point of betrayal between two friends. A discrepancy between an Alpha and his beta over a woman wasn't all that worth mentioning.I hated I was the reason for that discrepancy.I was feeling hungry again. I had eaten a few hours back yet I wasn't still full. I
Giovanni POVAfter our argument some days back, I noticed Arianna had become a little bit calm. That's what I feared most. I wanted to know what was going on in that mind of hers and I hated that she wasn't my mate. Starr doesn't deserve her and I was going to prove that fact to her. I wanted to show her that I was the right man for her and not someone who didn't respect or love her from the start.Right from the time I set my eyes on her, the time sgw was accused of stealing a lap of chicken, my heart was already inclined towards her. I lost my senses in those eyes that bore at me even when she was caught with the chicken.I fell in love with the fearful defiance in her eyes and at that moment I wanted her more than anything in the whole world. Even when I knew my obsession would be the end of my pretentious love for Starr.Yes, you heard me right.He might have forgotten the grudges held years ago but I haven't. The pains of losing my parents the same day and the fact that the pers
Giovanni's PovI wielded my eyes like a two edged sword against the doctor like he was the cause of the predicament am currently in.This has got to be the most heartbreaking news ever.How do I cope with this?.What do I do?. I know so well that there's no way am gonna let her keep it. No, I can't let her have this child.Never.It's gonna bring ruins to all my plans if not an end.I have to do something and I have to do it fast." I would advice you take all I've said so far into consideration and take very good care of her. The child should be healthy and for the child to be, the mother has to be also. She needs alot of rest and fresh air. Feed her well also" I listened on and on as the doctor blabbed.The only thing on my mind was to tell him to shut it but I couldn't even utter the words.I snapped my eyes as him, staring blankly and all he could do was gulp and keep shut right away, like he understood my silence and burning anger.I know he does and the least thing I wanted righ
Giovanni's PovI felt angered yet I stood staring at him with my fist clenched. He had the effontery to talk to me that way because I was the one that came to him. I made myself vulnerable to his insults because I had to betray my own Alpha just to have what I wanted.Definitely he has every right to insult me. " Yeah, you don't need to" I reassured him, not trying to keep the conversation going any further. It wouldn't do me good to try and show him he can't trust me.I still needed him to keep us safe until my plan to take over will be successful. " Well, if you say so..I just have to take your word for it" he said, his smirk displaying secretly. Somehow, I felt he was acting weird.I don't give a fuck about his hidden agendas, all I want was the time to get myself prepared. Not wanting to spoil anything, I nodded also with a broad smile." And about Arianna, you really have to think fast and make a decision. There's no time. You should have had a contingency plan when taking some
I watched her expression changed and her hands shook a little too obvious. She must be trying to hold back her anger or shock. I knew that I had hit her on the right spot.It thrilled my heart and seeing her this way gave me hope unimaginable. Right there and then, staring into those glassy eyes that were filled with tears struggling to be let out, I felt a little guilty. Yet, I knew that I could take the stars and hand it to her if she takes that bastard out.What more ways can be perfect than faking the evil side of the man she loves. I truly believe no woman would like to be entangled with a liar. So, my guilt was placed aside by my heart. I wanted her and she was my perfect woman for me.A little snatching does no harm. " What??" Her voice croaked and her eyes blinked, dropping a sea drop of tears from both eyes. She finally let out the question and shock that has been stuck in her throat. Being vulnerable had always been the best time to execute one's plan. " Sadly, yeah," I s
