INGRID'S P.O.V.

Placing Theo gently in his crib, I walked towards the balcony to get a rest. It was eight in the morning and I felt so exhausted, Theo kept me up all night while Aegon was nowhere to be found, yet they expect us to live like this forever.

It was almost time for breakfast, but, like always, I'll have it upstairs. I didn't enjoy sitting at the table or talking to anyone anymore. I heard the door open, but I didn't bother to turn, knowing it was the maid who usually bought my food for me.

“Ingrid.” I froze in my spot as I heard Vimon's voice.

I turned around to look at her still standing by the door, and she walked inside before closing the door and I knew damn well that I wasn't going to hear the end of this.

“Theo is asleep.”

“I'm not here for Theo, come and have breakfast with us.”

“Look, I appreciate your concern about me, but honestly, I just want to be here all alone.”

“It's not a request Ingrid, get dressed and come downstairs to join us.”

“I'm not…"

    DAGNA'S P.O.V.“Oh my God!” I breathed out as he rolled out of bed and began to wear his clothes, “... Come on, wouldn't you stay a little bit?” I whined, but he chuckled in response as he sat next to me with his pants in. “I don't have the Intention of leaving. I've finally gotten you back even if it's been two weeks. I missed you so much.” He kissed my forehead.“Aegon, we need to do something about Ingrid. Look, I know your parents gave a rule, but if we want to be together always we need to get rid of her.”“We can't do anything about her. My parents are a real pain in the ass and I know exactly how you feel, hell seeing her everyday makes me so annoyed that I can barely control it, sometimes I have to lash out for her to get away from me.”“But you're the Alpha of the pack, you can't let your parents boss you around.”“It's because of Theo, I want my son here but not her as my Luna, I want you to be my Luna.”“Poisoning her is the best solution I can think of.”“We are not doing

    INGRID'S P.O.V.I picked up Theo from his crib to check for injuries for any such, and felt a sense of relief when I saw nothing. She had the nerve to threaten me, every bit of my body wanted to kill her, but I knew too well that if I did Aegon would be after my head and I won't be able to take care of the baby.“Ingrid, come downstairs.” I heard Aegon say the moment he opened the door, but I didn't look back at him.“No.”“This isn't a request, I'm ordering you to come downstairs.”“You have no right to ask me to do whatever you want, I'm not coming downstairs and that's final!” I snapped at him, which made Theo cry out. “Ingrid, Theo needs some breathing space! He has been here twenty-four hours of the day ever since he was born and keeping him locked in here all the time might do him harm, I don't give a damn about you but let the child live while we can fight all our lives for all I care. I'm going down and if I don't see you downstairs within fifteen minutes, I assure you, you w

    AEGON'S P.O.V.I would be lying if I said I didn't hate the sight of Ingrid right now, why doesn't she get the fact that she's wrong about everything and how her stupid decision was the reason we are all in this mess in the first place. “Where are you going?” I heard mum's voice from the garden as I passed.“I have some work in the pack. Dad Theo's pants are the other way round.” He smiled at me.which just made me chuckle as I turned away.My parents were happy being with Theo, but they were slowly seeing the kind of person Ingrid really is. They might have taken her as their daughter but once an Omega, always an Omega. Walking into the pack, I saw children laughing around and Elders to before walking towards the woods that lead towards the north side of the pack and I saw the house I was looking for.“Aegon?” I heard Dagna's voice. “Ah! Just the person I was looking for.”“You aren't meant to be here. My father is in the house, what are you even doing here to begin with?” She frow

    AEGON'S POVSighing heavily, my mother let her hands drop from my face.What's with all the sighing today? I wondered to myself. " I know you feel caged up in here." She started." Then ask Arul to let me leave." I declared, why were they all making this harder than it was supposed to be for cripes sake." But your head hasn't completely healed, and your legs need to be set twice a day and you still need to take potions for your internal injuries." She enumerated my injuries, ticking them off her fingers as she spoke." I know Mom," I told her once I was sure she was done talking." I know I'm nothing but a bushel of ailments, but there's no way I can heal cooped up in here, I need air that's not tainted with drugs and potions, I need to be able to move around- even if its in a wheelchair around my chambers, and look at the sky- even if its through the window. I need to get out of here."" Arul can always come to my chambers to administer my potion." I quickly added when my mother ope

    DAGNA'S POVI stared at the sleeping Aegon with a smirk on my face.So the little bastard thought he could turn me into a nursemaid huh?Cheat on me with that little bitch, get her pregnant, be too much of a sissy to do the needful and get rid of the bitch and her little bastard. Literally shatter my heart and stomp on the pieces, and now he had the guts, the audacity, the temerity to ask me to be his nursemaid, now that he was for all intents and purposes a cripple.A cripple for cripes sake, he was a cripple!!!!Did he really think that I? Dagna? The most beautiful woman in the entire ironwood pack would actually want a cripple when I could have whoever I wanted? Ohhh puh...lezzzze!!!!The only reason I was here was because I had a personal vendetta against him. Being in the palace, even as Aegon's nursemaid brought me a step closer to getting my Vengeance. That was the only reason I had even listened to his snotty bitch of a mother when she showed up our door earlier.Dad had been

    DAGNA'S POVFor a few seconds, just a few seconds I considered marching past her and carrying on with my search. However, since I wasn't in the mood to get beaten up just yet, I gave myself some sensible advice, threw my hands up in a huff and went back into Aegon's room.By this time I was angry as an offended cobra and so full of venom that it was a good thing n one was around me or they would have gotten enough cobra venom to override the blood in their system ( and no I don't care if that's not scientifically possible, it's how I feel and that's how I chose to express myself)Glaring at the sleeping Aegon, I screamed silently when all I really wanted to do was scream at the top of my lungs and kick his stupid ass to the edge of the pack and back.Violently punching my thighs in fury, I sat on the floor and kicked my legs as violently as I could until I had managed to get my anger under control.That bitch Ingrid had dared to lay a hand on me? She had dared to threaten me? Me ? Da

    DAGNA'S POV" I live here." I replied tersely, striding past him into the kitchen to pour myself a glass of water from the sink. All the running had left me quite dehydrated." What do you mean you live here?" He demanded, hurrying after me." You're supposed to be in the palace searching for the jewel, not in my kitchen guzzling down water like you just ran a marathon."" There's been a slight change of plans." I said, draining the glass and pouring myself another."WHAT!!!!!!". He roared so loudly, the glass slipped from my hands and shattered into pieces on the hard stone floor." Now look what you've done." I grumbled with a groan of frustration as I turned to go in search of a dust pan and a broom." Don't you dare move another inch." He growled, effectively stopping me in my tracks. Grabbing my arm, he whirled me around to face him." What do you mean there's been a slight change of plans?" He demanded. " Have you messed things up so soon?"" Of course not." I snapped at him, wr

    INGRID'S POVWhen Theo didn't go down for his nap until almost 4:00pm the previous night, I knew there was trouble brewing......and he had proved it.Getting up from his nap just a few minutes after seven, it had been a hell of a battle to get him to sleep later in the night. He kept me up until close to midnight, which automatically meant we overslept this morning.I was in that dreamlike state between sleep and wakefulness and lounging around on the bed when a sudden loud voice jolted me into full wakefulness." Dagna!"" Dagna!"" Dagna!" Vimon was yelling as she hurried down the hallway coming to a stop right in front of my door." Can you please stop screaming my name." Dagna yelled back." We have a sick patient or shall I say invalid on this floor after all." Her voice sounded like it was coming from just beyond my door. Jumping to my feet, I plucked a pair of small blue fuzzy earmuffs from off my bedside table and hurried to Theo's crib to place them over his ears. He was a h

Nothing I did could get her to stop crying, until she had her fill of tears.When she was done crying, she wiped her tears, took her seat and took me back in time.A POSTHUMOUS TELLING OF BAILEY'S STORYBailey was loved by everyone, she was only nineteen but she already had an influence on her neighborhood.

    NICO'S POV" I have nothing to fear from you." She declared." Good, there's no reason I shouldn't tell my story then." I said. She glared at me for a few seconds before turning back to her son. "I've had enough of this." She said. " Do what you want with him." She declared. I should have let it go at that and just proceeded to barter my life in exchange for Levin and Krystal's as planned. But no one ever accused me of always sticking to the plan, so I addressed my words to Kane, rather than Aegon as I had planned. " She killed Bailey." I blurted out to the older man, stunning everyone into stillness and silence for a few seconds. Vimon- the witch however was quick to recover. " Ha ha." She cackled. " I see being alone in the dungeon is slowly driving you insane, maybe we should just leave here, would be a pleasure to see you go insane after you took my sister from me." She Said. Ignoring her, I continued to address Kane. " To get her out of the way so she could have

    DAGNA'S POV"Ignore it." I begged." Whoever it is will get the hint and go away soon enough." I said.I couldn't have been farther from the truth however, for no about sooner were the words out of my mouth than the knock was repeated, this time in quicker succession." Alpha!!!!" Theo's voice called through the locked door. " Your mother wants you, she says it's urgent."I groaned in frustration as Aegon slid me off his thighs and got to his feet." You're not leaving now are you?" I asked incredulously as he tossed the paddle on the bed and rummaged around for clothes to wear." Of course, it's urgent." He said, pulling on a pair of slacks."I'm sure she can wait a few minutes." I protested, sidling over to him and wrapping my arms around his waist." Dagna." He said, softly pushing me away as he reached a shirt. " She wouldn't say it was urgent if it wasn't."" But I need you now." I protested as he headed for the door." I'll be back before you know it." He assured me, coming over

    DAGNA'S POVSeveral minutes later, after a quick rummage through the bathroom cupboards to retrieve the candles and toys I had left there months earlier the stage was set. The tube was three quarters filled with hot water. I had closed the windows and lighted the fat red candles and neatly arranged the toys on the small table Aegon had had commissioned for this very purpose." You can come in now." I called Aegon who I had charged with making sure we were not disturbed for the next two hours.He took his time coming in, and when he finally did, his jaw dropped open and nearly hit the floor at the sight of me standing there, in nothing but my birthday suit.This was one of the reasons I had fallen for Aegon in the first place, it didn't matter how many times he'd seen me naked, the reaction was always the same....... and instantaneous." You......you....lol...look.... amazing." He stuttered." Thank you." I said with a coy smile, batting my eyelids at him. " You don't look too bad your

" Father!!!!!!""Father!!!!!" I screamed, too upset to call him dad." You really should learn some manners dear daughter." His calm voice from behind as I reached out to open his bedroom door.I whirled around to find him standing in the doorway to his lab." How could you????" I screamed, lunging at him and grabbing him by the scruff of his shirt." How could you do this to me?????" I demanded shaking him back and forth with all my strength." How could you ruin my plans this way?" I demanded.He let me continue until I had blown out all the steam.My voice was hoarse by the time I finally let myself sag against his chest." Now that you're done with your rants, it's time to listen to reason." He finally said,

    NICO'S POVI was too stunned to move and just stood there motionless, watching as the closest things I had to parents were led away by the alpha's men.What's going on? I mentally wondered, sure that I was hallucinating or something. I had to be. I just had to be hallucinating, maybe all those sleepless nights had finally caught up with me.IN THE PALACEDAGNA'S POVI was too outraged to sit, so I paced the length and breadth of Aegon's room where he had left me earlier, as I waited for nightfall so I could run home to my father and demand an explanation. And he had better have a reasonable explanation or I would give him a piece of my mind.AEGON'S POVI had spent the past two hours smiling so wildly, it was a wonder I hadn't splinted my jaw, and I still couldn't stop smiling. My son was back and I couldn't be happier.All I wanted to do was hold him in my arms and never let go, but since I couldn't do that as he was firmly clutched in his mother's arms, I settled for smiling at him

He explained in a low voice.I fell back in my seat with a heavy thud." Theo." I called softly in a soft and gravelly voice. " Yes Alpha."" If you want your head to continue being attached to your neck in the next five minutes, then you had better start explaining.""We.......we........" He started and sputtered to a stop. " A minute and counting.." I informed him coldly.Swallowing hard he tried again."We don't have the young one yet alpha, but we know where he is." He explained, all in one rushed sentence." What are you doing here then?" My mother demanded." When you should be on your way to retrieve my grandson.""

And today was no different." Nicky!!!!!!!!." She screeched, throwing her arms around me, baby and all." Where have you been?" She demanded, leading me into the kitchen where Levin was sitting down to his morning cup of coffee." Nico!!!" He boomed holding out his hand for a firm handshake as Krystal pushed me into the chair across from his." You really should drop in more often." He said as Krystal set a cup of coffee in front of me. " Krystal's been driving herself sick with worry."" I have." Krystal agreed, taking the little tot from my arms and cradling him to her chest. " We heard you had an altercation with the Alpha." She added." An altercation?" I asked with a grimace as I took a tentative sip of the coffee.In all the years I had lived with them, I had never mana

    A HIDE OUT ABOUT THIRTY LEAGUES FROM THE CLEARWOOD PACK. NICO'S POVFrom the doorway, I glared at the man sprawled out on the couch in derision. He really was a pain in the ass and I couldn't wait to be done with the mission so I could finally get rid of him. Sure he was good with his hands and was the best choice to build the weapon I wanted and needed, plus he was the only one with a strong enough vendetta against my darling aunt and her family to actually want to take them down which made him a valuable addition to my cause, but there were times - like right now, when he gets more trouble than he was worth." Tell me again why you had to take the child?" I demanded startling him out of the doze he had been about to fall into.Good, I thought.You have no business sleeping after giving me such a headache." Because my daughter told me to." He replied in that gravelly voice of his that made me want to grab him by the scruff of his shirt and punch him in the face.I didn't do that th
