Alpha Ricardo's POV

''Is everything set?'' I asked and got a quick nod from him. ''So you are taking the body of your father home?'' The doctor asked, curious. ''Yes, he will be buried in the next twenty-four hours.'' I explained with a deep sigh. I was doing my best to hide my feelings.

''You know you can keep him here at the hospital mortuary.'' He suggested, but I bluntly shook my head, ''He was an alpha and the bodies of alphas are not allowed to be preserved.'' I explained and got a quick nod from him, but he did not say a word.

''Very well then, I'll drive in front of the ambulance.'' I explained while the doctor nodded his head and said, ''I'm so sorry for your loss.'' He said, while I just flashed him a weak smile and walked away.

With a heavy heart, I left the hospital and met Jayson beside my car, while the ambulance was parked behind my car. ''Are you okay, can you drive?'' Jayson asked worried, while I just nodded my head as a response and got into the car.

''What's going on mother?'' I asked while meeting her gaze, but didn't get a response from her. ''Mother, father, come help me, I'm stuck in here.'' I pleaded, but they both shook their head in disapproval. ''No, my dear Mia, we can't help you.'' Father spoke up. ''Why…'' I asked confused, ''Do you guys wanna leave me in this thick dark Forest?'' I asked in fear while staring around with panic. ''Unfortunately, yes, we have to leave you.'' Mother responded with a weak smile, ''No please Mother, don't leave me, I want to go with you guys, this place is scary.'' I pleaded in tears and struggled to make a move, but it was useless.''You can't come with us Mia, your destiny is waiting for you and you can't leave him behind, he needs you, and you will need him.'' mom said with a smile and they both turned their

    Alpha Ricardo's POVI was glad that my wolf was suppressed, so he wouldn't keep chanting the word ''mate'' in my head. Grunting angrily, I let go of her wrist, took a step away from her and watched her turn to me with stunned and terrified eyes. She carries so much innocence in her eyes which made me have a tiny bit of pity for her, but I quickly shook it off and said, ''Father will be buried tomorrow night, you can decide on when and where you want to bury your mother, but she won't be buried as a Luna or as father's wife.'' I announced and saw her shook her head in a pleading manner.''Please don't do this, this is the highest insult you can give to mother.'' She pleaded and tried taking a step closer to me, but she ceased her steps and sobbed loudly while holding my gaze, but I refused to be moved by it. If I need to get my revenge, then I have to possess the heart of a monster, and it has to begin from now.''That's my decision, and it's final.'' I declared and saw her drop to the

    Alpha Ricardo's POVI woke up the next morning with a strong ache buzzing in my head. Grunting tiredly, I stood to my feet and realized it was almost sunset, which made me marvel at how I was able to sleep this long.''Eric?'' I called out to my wolf as I got up from the bed, but he ignored me with a groan. ''Suit yourself.'' I groaned and walked straight to the bathroom. I went to the dressing mirror, took a look at myself in the mirror, and shook my head at the tiredness of my eyes. '' You have to be strong.'' I said and began taking off my clothes. I took a quick bath, went back to the room and took out fitted black jeans and a long black sleeve shirt. Just when I was about to dress up, Jayson spoke to me through telepathy. ''Hey Rick, are you ready?'' He asked, while I replied with a sigh. ''I will take that as a yes. Meanwhile, I'm already in the hall. Everyone is waiting for you, and father asked me to inform you.''''I'm on my way.'' I responded and ended the mind Link. ''Are

    Mia's POV''Shit! What have I done?'' I murmured in fear, and took another step backward. I heard his angry groan as he shut his eyes to calm the anger burning in him. ''I'm so sorry…'' I tried apologizing, but he did not let me finish talking before yanking me to himself by my arms. ''How dare you slap me?'' He asked with gritted teeth as the color of his became gray, which showed he was out of control. ''I'm… Sorry…'' I shuddered in fear, not able to look at him in the eyes. With an angry grunt, he threw me to the floor and I landed on a tomb which I believe belongs to his late mother. ''Argh!'' I exclaimed in discomfort while holding on to my lower abdomen, which hit the tomb.''You are right…'' He spoke with gritted teeth. '' It's not right that your mother be buried in a graveyard with the others.'' He said with a groan. His words got me confused and at the same time scared.''She will be thrown away in the deserted forest where birds will eat her flesh…'' ''No!.'' I pleaded an

Dad's beta called out to my attention. ''Yes!'' I responded with a blank expression as he moved closer to me.''Can I talk to you?'' He asked, ''Go ahead, you don't need to ask for permission.'' I responded, ''What you are doing to her is wrong.'' He advised, while I just kept silent and let him finish. ''Remember she is going through a lot. Listen, it is unclear to me why you hate her and her mother so much, but you should remember she is still your half sister…'' '' Please stop it!'' I demanded angrily. I hate it when people keep reminding me she was my half sister.''I'd prefer we discuss this matter on other days, but not today.'' I said and walked away.I went over to the bar, took out a bottle of whiskey, poured it in a glass and gulped it all into my mouth. I closed my eyes and sucked a deep breath to control my emotions a

I moved my gaze to the left and saw her few meters away from me, hurrying away.''Is she running away?'' I asked my wolf, but he growled and shut himself away from me. ''Suit yourself.'' I responded with a murmur and followed her behind, making sure I kept a good distance from her, so she wouldn't know I was following her.I followed her and walked for almost twenty minutes before I realized she was taking the path that led to the abandoned forest. Curiously, I followed her and stood behind a tree when I saw her standing at the entrance of the abandoned fores

I grumbled while opening my eyes. ''I believe that's your thank you.'' She said with a scoff, while I sighed and moved my gaze to the wall clock. ''It's just 5am.'' I murmured while leaving the bed. ''Whatever.'' She grumbled, ''When is your transformation ceremony?'' Sarah asked, while I just sighed and stood before the mirror. ''He hasn't said anything yet?'' She asked, ''Nothing, Not to worry, we will just do it our way.'' I said with a murmur as I glared at myself in the mirror.My blonde hair was messy, my eyes looked tired and out of life, probably from the late night I have been having lately.''Are you even listening?''

"Let me!" He spoke and took the comb from me.Slowly he combed my hair while I watched him with thrilled eyes as he packed my hair in a bun."How are you able to do that?" I asked and he smiled before responding, "I do comb my mom's hair, it was the favorite thing I love doing for her." He said and stood before me. "I knew my mother wanted a female child but since she could no longer conceive, I decided to be a son and daughter for her." He said while I smiled, seeing the excitement in his eyes as he talked about her."I combed and also change her nail polish, most times I followed her to the spa. We were basically siblings more than mother and son." He spoke and I saw a hint of sadness in his eyes. He must have really missed her a lot."Hey!"

"Good morning sunshine, it seems this was the only way to wake you up." He spoke, and before I could respond, he sealed his lips with mine.The kiss was soft but filled with passion. He moved away from my lips and shifted to the left crook of my neck, inhaling deeply before locking eyes with me. "You are so perfect." He paused as I smiled and shyly looked away, realizing we were back at the cottage."I teleported us back," he said, as if reading my thoughts. "And I made us breakfast." He added, causing me to flash him a grateful smile.I noticed he held my gaze for a moment, a worried look appearing on his face before he spoke. "Are you hurt? Do you feel discomfort anywhere?" He asked, and I nodded, faking a fake frown."Where?" He asked, sounding worried."On my lips, I think you should check it out," I joked, and he smiled before sealing his lips with mine.

Slowly, he placed a kiss on her cheek and moved to the left corner of her neck where his mark was imprinted and nipped it, causing a throaty groan to leave Mia’s lips.

His hand moved down to her ass, pushing it deep and encouraging her to grind harder on him. “Argh…” She groaned in anticipation. He went below her back and unhooked her bra. He yanked it up, and she shyly covered her breasts with the blanket, preventing it from being displayed.“Don’t be shy, everything about you is perfect.” Alpha Ricardo whispered and slowly moved the blanket away, but she pulled him to herself that He could feel the softness of her breast and hardness of her nipples against his bicep, which made his wolf, Eric, to p

Filled with curiosity, I left the bed,washed my face in the sink and made my way to the kitchen, where Mia stood with her back turned to me. With a smile, I leaned against the wall and took a quick glance at her. She was wearing a short, sleeveless crop top, looking incredibly sexy. All I wanted was to wrap my hands around her waist, but I didn't want to make her uncomfortable."How long will you keep standing there, staring?" she asked, still not looking my way.With a chuckle , I approached her and planted a kiss on the back of her neck. "Good morning," I greeted, inhaling her captivating smell."Morning, Alpha Ricardo," she replied, and I frowned. "Ricardo, call me Ricardo," I grumbled, and she shyly smiled. "You know it will take a while for me to actually do that," she said, and I nodded, fully understanding her."What is my queen doing?" I asked, and she smiled before answering, "Making the be

Loose waves cascaded over my shoulders, and a vibrant red lipstick adorned my lips."You look beautiful," my wolf praised, and I shyly tucked a strand of hair behind my ear before picking up my bag. Taking one last glance at myself, I left the room and entered the sitting room. As soon as I walked in, I saw him standing there, dressed in a navy blue suit that perfectly complemented my dress. He turned around upon hearing me and greeted me with a warm smile."Good evening, my dear," he said, his eyes sweeping over my appearance. "You look absolutely stunning in that dress."Blushing, I felt a twinge of embarrassment and looked away. "Thank you," I murmured softly.He approached me and offered his arm. "Shall we go?"I nodded, taking his arm as he led me towards the door. We stepped outside, where a sleek black Mercedes awaited us, with a driver standing attentively beside it."Allow me," Alpha

He extended his hand and helped me onto the jet. As we got settled, I took in the luxurious interior of the plane with my heart racing. Alpha Ricardo guided me to my seat and helped me fasten my seatbelt."Comfortable?" he asked with a hint of concern in his voice. I nodded mutely, unable to form words as I felt his warm breath on my cheek. He sat down beside me and fastened his own seatbelt, giving me a reassuring smile. I couldn't help but feel nervous in his presence, wondering what would happen between us during this trip.“What is meant to happen?” my wolf teased, and I gulped, knowing what she meant.Trying to calm my nerves, I looked out the window, observing the scenery as the jet took off. Alpha Ricardo glanced at me, his gaze lingering for a moment before he looked away. The flight passed in awkward silence as I avoided

    Alpha Ricardo's POV"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..." I tried apologizing, but she stopped me. "It's okay," she said with a weak smile and sat back on the bed. I watched her wipe away some droplets of tears from her eyes and went into deep thoughts. "What are you thinking?" I asked, and she didn't respond immediately. Instead, she stood up and stared outside the window for a while before turning to hold my gaze."I want to forgive you," she paused and sucked a deep breath. "But it's going to take a lot of time..." I did not let her finish her words before speaking. "I will wait even if it takes eternity." I spoke truthfully and saw her nod before walking up to me. She flashed me a warm smile and returned to the bed. She sat and held my gaze, and none of us said a word until I decided to speak."Do you need me to do anything for you?" I asked, and she shook her head. "I have all I need," she responded with a smile that fluttered my heart."Mine!" Eric growled in my head, causing a famil

    Mia's POV“For slapping you?” Alpha Ricardo asked, making sure he heard me right. I didn't respond, choosing instead to focus on Tony, who met my gaze with a dumbfounded expression after I hit him. “Come over here, Beatrice,” I said, gesturing for her to approach. She did so with tears in her eyes, and I could sense her gratitude. “I know everything that's been happening with Tony and how he's been harassing you. But don't worry, I'll make things right.”I turned my attention to Alpha Leo, who looked confused. “Did he really slap you?” Alpha Ricardo asked, waiting for an answer.“We'll talk about that later, but right now, I want Tony punished. He's been harassing this maiden for far too long,” I pleaded. Alpha Ricardo nodded in agreement, even though he had many questions left unanswered.“Tony,” Alpha Ricardo called, and Tony nervously lifted his head. “Are these allegations true? Don't even think about lying to me,” he warned sternly.“I'm sorry, Alpha…” Tony began, but Alpha Ricar
