Chapter 36Alexa's POV“Ace?” I called out to him. But he doesn't respond. It's like he's no longer here. He just stares at my face in a daze. I am laying on his chest and his hands are on my waist.“Ace!” I exclaim loudly, which snaps him out of his reverie. He quickly let go of me, and I rolled over to the soft grass beside him.“What were you thinking so intently about?” I ask curiously, laying on my side and using my elbow to prop my head up. He looks shocked like he just got caught doing what he's not supposed to be doing.“Nothing,” he mutters, looking straight ahead.“It didn't look like anything,” I mutter, not believing him.“You are right, I was thinking of something,” he replies with his eyes closed.“What?” I ask curiously.“When you will get up and get back to training,” he simply replies. I stare at him dumbfounded.“What are you still waiting for? Go on,” he urges. I huffed and got back to training, disgruntled. I train unfocused, so I trip and fall on the floor.“Ahhhh
Chapter 37Alpha Kai's POV“What the hell,” I mutter, staring at the door Alexa just walked out from. What the hell happened to me? I behaved completely abnormally today. “Did I catch a fever?” I mumble, touching my head to feel my temperature and justify what just happened.Why did I care whether she bled to death or not? I don't know. All I know is that immediately I saw blood dripping from her hands, and I felt the urge to stop the bleeding before it got out of control.I didn't scream or yell at her like I normally did. It might be because she is still one of my pack members, and I'm responsible for her safety like all other pack members. Yes! That's it. That has to be the reason.It isn't because I have grown to like her. Did my heart change towards her? No way! I will never like a weak woman. I have a strong, beautiful wife that I care for dearly now. Amelie. Nobody else.I still have the desire to make Alexa's life a living hell, and I will definitely fulfill it.****Ace's PO
Chapter 38Ace's POV“Yes?” I ask impatiently, wondering why she's just smiling and not saying anything.“I can call you Ace, right? Since you are my husband's brother, I wouldn't want to call you brother-in-law" Amelie asks, smiling widely.“What do you want?” I asked slightly annoyed, ignoring what she asked.“I figured we haven't really spoken since I arrived, so I came to say hi,” she replies.“Hi,” I reply. “we are done here, right?” I ask trying to leave.“Wait!” she makes me halt in my steps, walking to stand in front of me. “I want to talk to you about something,” she says nervously.“What is it?” I ask upset. The only woman I want to speak to right now is Alexa.“I feel like nobody wants me here,” she mutters sadly.“What?” I ask with a frown.She nods her head sadly, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.“The pack members all treat me like an outsider, they all look at me like I'm a home wrecker, but I'm really not. Even Alexa…,” she pauses and breathes in to calm herself.“A
Chapter 39Alpha Kai's POV“You should calm down,” Amelie says, her head resting on my chest and her fingers gently caressing my arm. We are laying on our tangled sheets after two hours of intense lovemaking. I am still furious over the kind of behavior Ace displayed this afternoon in my office. Amelie came in shortly after, and she does know just how to make me feel better. At this rate, the crescent pack is going to have an heir soon and secure my pack member's future.“How can Ace do that? He has never shown me that level of disrespect before or lost his temper in front of me,” I reply, surprised by his actions but still angry.“It must be Alexa. She must have told Ace everything that happened,” Amelie says after thinking for a while.“Of course, I know it's her, there was nobody else there at that time that could have told him. She even lied that the maids and guards were present,” I answer, repulsed by the kind of lies that came out of her mouth.“She knows Ace has a soft spot fo
Chapter 40Alexa's POVI walk back to my room and sit on my bed, dejected. I was glad that I would finally have a chance to prove myself to the Alpha by handling the internal affairs of the pack, but Amelie just had to swish in and ruin my plans. “Luna, lady Amelie has called an emergency meeting,” Kira said as she hurriedly ran into the room.I frown. “Meeting? What meeting? And why are you telling me this?” “I don't know, she just told me to get you right away,” Kira replies, panting slightly.“Alright, let's go,” I sighed and stood up from my bed. Kira leads the way, and we walk until she stops at a spaced corridor where Amelie is sitting elegantly on a chair with her legs crossed. Different women, including the maids, stood in front of her, whispering quietly.“Look who finally decided to grace us with her presence,” she says sarcastically, immediately she saw me enter. The whispers died down. I ignored her remark and stood in front of her.“Why did you call me here?” I ask, sta
Chapter 41Alpha Kai's POVI sit at my desk reminiscing about what Amelie had said about Alexa and she was completely right. Ace is beginning to get too attached to her, and she's using that privilege to sow discord between us, but I won't let that happen.I signed the files for the internal pack affairs position in Amelie's name. This would mean that she will be in charge of all the expenses the pack incurs, and she will also have unlimited access to the pack's wealth. The Luna of a pack is supposed to take care of such things, but I don't think Alexa has half the brains or the capability to take care of such matters. She was a slave anyway, she would not even understand what these documents mean or how much it means to the entire pack.Amelie, on the other hand, is the daughter of a beta of a prominent pack. That's why I married her because I trust her capabilities fully. I let the ink dry and rolled up the scroll. I kept it neatly beside me.“Kai,” I hear Amelie's voice call out.S
Chapter 42Alexa's POVI pull the bathrobe closer to my drenched and cold body. The guards let me walk between them and directed me toward the dungeon. I walk silently in my heavy and drenched clothes. My clothes are not the only things that feel heavy, even my heart is heavy, filled with grief.“Luna,” the guards called out to me. I look up at them, and they gesture for me to enter the dungeon, where they just opened the doors. I quietly entered without making a fuss, they locked the door securely and took the key along with them. I took a look around the dungeon since I will be staying there for a while. It had a foul odor and blood stained the walls, I didn't want to think about what must have happened to the people who had been there. I am all alone in my cell, but I could hear some moans, and groans of pain, and discomfort coming from other cells. This cell is a lot cleaner than I expected. They might have given me the least polluted one because of my status.The cell I shared w
Chapter 43Alpha Kai's POV'Alpha, he's out of danger now, but he's still a child, and he spent a long time underwater which entered his lungs and caused some damage. All we can do now is hope and pray he wakes up soon,'I run my hands through my hair severally thinking of the doctor's words. Is Alexa really that heartless enough to do such a thing to a little child?“That woman is so vicious. I can't believe she did this to a child. Unbelievable,” Amelie says, sitting on the chair next to me. “Alpha, Leon is awake,” a maid comes to inform us. I dash out quickly towards the doctor's office with Amelie right behind me.I walk in to meet the chief and the chief's wife right beside a pale-looking Leon. They immediately stood up to greet me, but I gestured for them to sit, they must be going through a lot right now.“Leon, are you okay?” I ask in a concerned tone, and he nods his head weakly. He looked around and said in a weak voice.“Where is goddess Lexa? Is she not here?”“goddess Le
