Joanna's Point Of View StillGoodness gracious!I had hoped that Mr. Handsome was blessed with some brains as well. Nothing was more frustrating than to engage with a strikingly attractive man, only to discover he lacked wit or intellect. The imposing and irritated Alpha before me now had surely overlooked the finer details. "The doctor referred to you as Alpha when he entered, genius," I responded in a tone reminiscent of a kindergarten teacher. I rolled my eyes, which clearly infuriated him. It seemed the Alpha couldn't tolerate having his weaknesses highlighted. "Take it easy, little fish. I dragged you out of the creek yesterday, and today you're talking down to me?" he growled as he took a menacing step towards me. But his intimidating demeanor didn't scare me, I defiantly met his gaze head-on. He looked back at me in bewilderment, probably not used to such insolence. "How did you learn about werewolves? As a human, you weren't supp
Still Joanna's Point Of View It was a long drive to the pack, even though Blonde was driving at high speed.After everything that had transpired that day, I felt mentally exhausted and fell asleep shortly after we left. When Mr. Handsome gently shook me awake, he announced that we would arrive at his pack in five minutes. He handed me a warm refreshment wipe, which I quickly used to clean my face and neck.We entered a dirt road and soon came to a set of high gates. A man in a riot gear approached us, and as Blonde lowered the dark window, he slightly bowed."Alpha, Beta, I hope your mission was successful," the man said kindly. "Several hours ago, emissaries from the King arrived here. When I informed them of your absence, they indicated that they would return after some time, Alpha.""Messengers from the King? That's strange, they usually announce their arrival well in advance," Mr. Handsome replied in wonder. "Did they mention the purpose of their visit?""No, Alp
Joanna's Point Of View Still The days in the Moonlight Seekers pack flew by. I felt like I was getting stronger. After three days in the pack, I offered Emma my help in the kitchen. Sleeping and watching television was becoming dull, I saw no one but the maid who brought a tray of food three times a day.Emma understood my situation and seized my offer with both hands.We quickly became good friends, and she introduced me to some of her Italian recipes, which she insisted were Zane's favorites. Yesterday, I made lasagna for the Alpha table for the first time; according to Emma, both Zane and the Beta devoured it all. They even argued over who would get the last piece.Zane inquired about who made it as the taste was entirely different from Emma's. Upon learning that I had cooked yesterday, he praised me, which felt wonderful. Today, I prepared my specialty, Jamaican Jerk Barbecue Chicken and Pork with its signature sauce. To balance out the spice, I inc
Joanna's Point Of View again "Joanna, what do you think of Cleo? He is the hottest Beta I have ever seen."Janice sat next to me in the luxurious Maserati and swooned at the thought of Beta Cleo. Yes, I noticed at dinner last night that she was always looking for his attention, but the man was only polite to her. He clearly wasn't interested in her as anything more than a friend.Actually, I had more of an idea that she was afraid that he would be more interested in me than normal and wanted to secure her place in the man's life. Fortunately, the Beta was simply being friendly, teasing me a few times about a mate who was probably looking for me all over the world.Zane was noticeably quiet, listening in on most of our conversations.His eyes seemed to bore into me even more intensely when Cleo brought up the topic of a possible mate. I intentionally avoided making eye contact with him because I didn't want to decipher what he was feeling. I think Janice
Again Joanna's Point Of ViewJanice was not seen throughout the week.I wasn't sure what excuse she gave Zane and Beta Cleo, but they didn't bring her up while we were sitting at the table. However, I couldn't shake off what happened at the mall, especially remembering that woman who looked at me oddly and then said she'd made a mistake.I was certain she was involved with Janice's mate. She was the girlfriend of the man who had caused my friend so much distress. It's likely that Janice, heartbroken by his infidelity, and didn't want to know anything about him.After convincing Emma to tell me how to get to Janice's apartment, I went to see her. I knocked quietly on the door. At first, it was quiet on the other side."Janice, please let me in. I need to know what's going on. Come on, girlfriend," I pleaded with her. There was a rumble and then the door creaked open slowly. I quickly slipped inside before she could change her mind.She lay back down on the bed, and I to
Crown Prince Clyde's Point Of View“Clyde, it was indeed Woodland. The helicopters were, as Alira said, her brother's. And according to our informants, Joanna is the Alpha’s fated mate.”The suspicions were hard enough to digest, but having it confirmed sounded like a sledgehammer being hit on my head. Getting Joanna back was now becoming more difficult, as his fated mate, Alpha Abel, had every right to her. But she is my wife and also had the right to decide how to handle the mate bond.“However, I hate to break it to you, but the only way to speak to her is through the Council. I'm going to ask your father to get the Council to call a special meeting. Alpha Abel must then be forced to take Joanna there so that we can all hear her decision. They cannot ignore the fact that she made marriage vows to you as per human tradition.”Jace was right, but I really wanted to talk to Joanna alone.This was a private affair. She vowed her eternal love to me not long ago and promi
Crown Prince Clyde's Point Of View 'Clyde, why are we sneaking along the border and covering our scent? We're the Crown Prince and a Lycan at that, damn!' Xin growled in my mind. 'Man! Let's just enter the pack through the main entrance. I want to let those werewolves know how much a sandwich costs. Kidnap my mate and drug me! Do they dare?!’All my wolf wanted was to go for Alpha Abel's throat. He was constantly licking his sharp claws, ready for action.Ever since we'd been on the road, he'd been growling in my head about what he planned to do with the man. He demanded revenge and the return of his mate. He didn't care that Joanna was the fated of the Alpha, to him, she was ours alone. And I completely agree with the latter. I am very confident that if my wife was faced with a choice, she would choose me a thousand times over. We share a special bond, it was unbreakable.‘Xin, today we are going to try to talk to her only. I want to know what her posi
Crown Prince Clyde's Point Of View againImpatiently, I tapped my fingers on the table in front of me, waiting for Alpha Abel.The man still had about fifteen minutes to show up, of course, I was here much too early for this Council meeting. My father, the King, and the two other Alphas who were also members of the Council, entered the large conference room and took their seats. Their eyes were fixed on me, my father's held a stern warning.Damn it, how could they expect me to be calm? It was my wife who was kidnapped, and that on my wedding day! This was unacceptable! Xin agreed with me, insisting that we strike the Alpha as soon as he set foot in the room.'Please, Clyde. Hold back. Otherwise, this will not end well for you. And I won't get any information on where to look for Joanna if this man shows up here without her,' Jace pleaded into the mind link.We both doubted that the Alpha would come in here with Joanna.We could tell from the woman's conversation that s
Alpha Zane’s Point of ViewAs I disembarked alongside Beta Cleo and entered the lively airport in Latin America, my wolf, Hunter, start getting lively."What's happening?" I inquired, my curiosity heightened. "Does this have to do with seeing Joanna again?" His excitement was contagious, sending a thrill through me and making my heart race.Hunter maintained his energy as we picked up our rental car and headed to the hotel. We drove along a highway flanked by lush green countryside, which offered us a refreshing breath of heavenly fresh air.My thoughts were consumed with Joanna, I was so looking forward to seeing her again.I looked over at my Beta, whose expression remained neutral. Still, I could tell he was excited, though for a different reason. The prospect of seeing Janice again consumed him. He might have tried to deny it even to himself, but the way his eyes sparkled with anticipation whenever he thought I wasn’t watching, gave him away.Cleo handled our hotel check-in, and w
Third Party …The atmosphere in the packhouse felt utterly unsettled following Joanna's departure.Even though she didn't interact much with the pack members, to us high-ranking and close staff, she was like our cherished ward who required extra protection and care. We were more than willing to offer it, safeguarding her from the world's harshness and ensuring no harm would befall her.Now she's gone for good, Clyde is determined never to lose her again.The intensity in his eyes reveals everything, his love for her surpasses even the value of his own life. However, the void left in the packhouse is unmistakable, everyone can sense it deeply. The Luna seat where she usually sat is now vacant once more, and Emma, our cook, still inadvertently sets an extra place next to mine every day.Just like it is today."Emma, you can take the plate away," I reminded her for what felt like the hundredth time. This has become a daily occurrence, and I'm not sure if she's doing it on
Crown Prince Clyde’s Point of ViewHaving Joanna around every day was unsettling for my wolf..Xin persistently encouraged me to claim her, leading to frequent conflicts between us. He was impatient and refused to let her declare her love for us on her own terms. Joanna complicated things further with constant physical contact; her accidental touches and gentle kisses on my neck whenever she could send me into a frenzy.All I needed was a straightforward statement that she loved me — loud, clear, and unmistakable —spoken without any pressure from me. Sometimes I sensed she was on the verge of saying something important but then changed her mind at the last moment. In those instances, my heart almost leaped out of my chest with anticipation that my long-awaited moment had arrived. Yet she hesitated, likely lacking the courage to reveal her feelings fully.'You're just a coward, human!' Xin scolded me. 'You hide behind all sorts of excuses. Even if she doesn't say it out
A week had gone by since Clyde and I began working together, and it felt like we were perfectly in sync.We successfully brought the project to completion, and it turned out to be highly profitable for our company. Tomorrow marks its official launch, a moment I eagerly anticipate. Clyde greatly appreciated my contribution, complimenting me throughout the process."Joanna," Clyde remarked one evening as we finished up our tasks. "You've done an amazing job. Be sure to dress up for tomorrow because I'm taking you out on a date after the ceremony."His words sent a thrill through me, yet I couldn’t ignore the invisible wall he had recently erected between us. He rarely touched me now, though he didn't object when I leaned against him. My feelings for him were intensifying, and I'd moved beyond mere infatuation as these emotions ran much deeper within me. Clyde was the man I loved.I pushed away my fear of potentially going back to Moonlight Seekers and leaving him behind. This evening, I
Seated comfortably beside Clyde in his luxurious car, I marveled at the smoothness of the ride and enjoyed the refreshing cool air from the air conditioning.The leather seats were soft and plush, giving me the sensation of sinking into a cloud. I glanced sideways at Clyde, who remained focused as he expertly navigated through the buzzling streets of the city."We're nearly there," he said, his voice resonating with a deep, masculine tone. "I can't wait for you to see the project I'm working on. Your feedback is something I’m really looking forward to."I nodded, intrigued by the chance to contribute to his work. I was determined not to give him the impression that I intended to rely on him financially. Although we hadn't discussed specific working conditions, living in his home rent-free and sharing meals with him made a salary unnecessary. The added benefit of assisting him was being able to spend all my time by his side.As Clyde started outlining the details of the investment proj
Joanna’s Point of ViewAs I entered the magnificent villa, a wave of familiarity swept over me.It felt as though the very walls were whispering to me, eager to reveal their secrets. The further I went, the stronger my sense of déjà vu became; it was as if this house was a part of me.The detailed carvings on the wooden beams and the gentle hum of distant music felt familiar, even though I couldn’t recall ever being here. As I absorbed the surroundings, a young woman emerged in the hallway.Given her strong resemblance to Clyde, she had to be his sister. As I turned my face towards her, she observed me curiously, a question burning in her eyes that I couldn't quite identify. When she finally stood before me, it seemed like she considered embracing me but ultimately opted for a handshake."Hi, I'm Natali," she greeted with a gentle smile that didn't fully illuminate her almond-shaped eyes. "Clyde is my big brother and he's shared so much about you with me. One thing's f
Still Crown Prince Clyde’s Point of ViewOnce the jet was stable in the air, Joanna unbuckled her seatbelt and settled onto my lap.After our escapade a few hours ago, she became even more affectionate. Once she'd packed her belongings from the penthouse and set her suitcase next to mine in the hallway, she came straight over and wrapped her arms around me. She stayed close until we got back into the car, unwilling to let go of me. Even Janice and Jace couldn't resist making some lighthearted comments about it all.Janice was coming with us to Latin America.She was reluctant to leave her friend behind, and it wasn't difficult to persuade Zane to allow her to join us. He thought that after she rejected her mate and dealt with a unrequited love for the Beta, a change of scenery could be just what she needs at the moment. Meeting new people could be a welcome distraction and even allow her to refocus her life."Aren't you going to take a nap, love?" I asked Joanna as I g
I gently placed her on the hood and leaned in between her legs."You are incredibly beautiful. Seeing you walk in front of me like that drove me wild with desire," I murmured against her neck. "Joanna, I want you to be a part of my life forever."I slowly lowered the top of her dress from her shoulders and began kissing her passionately.She reacted immediately, and I could feel the desire coursing through her veins.The air around us was charged with her arousal, she was so ready for me.My lips traced a path to her breasts, and as soon as I found a nipple, she arched forward, offering it into my mouth while tossing back her rich black hair. Her nails dug into the skin of my shoulder as she released a soft moan.Goddess, this is sin, but I'm addicted to it.Her hands move up to playfully tousle my long hair while I focus on pleasuring the erect nipples."Is it true, Clyde? Are you attracted to me?" she asked, her voice tinged with longing.“Let me show you how much, my Queen.”My lip
Crown Prince Clyde's Point Of ViewThe fashion show was set to kick off in an hour, and Joyce had taken every possible step to ensure a successful start. Invitations were sent out to all notable officials within a fifty-miles radius. The night before, there was a reception where interested guests could preview the designs and meet the models. Joanna was in her element. If only she knew how she and my mother made it a habit to push promising designers by wearing their creations. The women enjoyed their charity so much, many designers found their way to international stages through my mother's referral.Every evening, I watched her from afar with admiration, the way she engaged with others, her spontaneity, and that infectious laugh.Goddess, how I loved this woman!A few nights ago, I couldn't stick around for too long since duty was calling in Latin America. And with Alpha Abel nearby, there was no room for taking risks, he might make his way here as well.But despite my persistent
