Barbara's POV As I walked away from Lily, I felt an immense sense of relief wash over me. Everything was going according to plan, and I knew that Melina's days were numbered. A smile crept across my lips as I imagined her demise, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at the thought of finally getting rid of her. My steps were light as I walked back to my house and my heart was beating with excitement at the prospect of what was to come. I felt like I was walking on air as my mind buzzed with the possibilities of what could happen next. I was so thrilled by the thought of it.As I approached my house, I couldn't help but let out a little laugh of joy. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and I felt like I was on top of the world. I couldn't help but break out into song, my voice echoing off the walls of the empty street as I danced my way home. Lily had done exactly what I had asked of her, and I was confident that no one had seen her. I had planned this perfect
Alpha Dwane's POVI trudged up the steps to my front door, the weight of the day settling heavily on my shoulders. It had been a long and frustrating night, and I was more than ready to collapse into bed and forget about everything that had happened. My body ached from the exertion of the day, and my mind was buzzing with a thousand different thoughts and worries.As I unlocked the door and stepped inside, I couldn't help but let out a long, weary sigh. My eyes were heavy and my limbs felt leaden as I made my way to the living room, where I collapsed onto the sofa with a groan. I rubbed my eyes tiredly, trying to shake off the exhaustion that seemed to have taken hold of me.I couldn't believe how things had turned out. What had started as a promising lead had turned into a dead end, and I was no closer to finding out who was trying to hurt Melina. I had wasted hours of my time, and I was no closer to getting any answers.You are wondering about what happened right? Well, earlier in t
Melina's POVI woke up early the next morning feeling very happy. As I opened my eyes, I realized that I was still in Alpha Dwane's arms. I smiled to myself as I looked at him sleeping soundly beside me. I couldn't help but feel grateful for having such a handsome and caring mate. I gently ran my fingers across his chest, admiring his toned body and the fine features of his face.The morning was beautiful, with the sun rising over the horizon, painting the sky with a warm orange glow. The birds were singing sweetly, filling the air with their melodious tunes. I felt at peace as if the world was a perfect place.Dwane stirred slightly, and I watched as his eyes opened, revealing his striking blue gaze. He looked at me, and a smile spread across his lips. I couldn't help but feel my heart flutter with excitement as he leaned in to give me a gentle kiss on my lips.

Alpha Rick's POVI stood alone in the middle of my study room with my mind consumed by anger and betrayal. My hands were clenched into fists and my nails dug deep into my palms as I tried to control the rage boiling within me. It had been days since Eric had betrayed my trust in him, days since he had failed to tell me that Alpha Dwane had chosen Melina as his mate. And yet, the anger burned just as hot now as it had then.I had confronted Eric, demanded an apology, and yet the words he had offered had fallen far short of what I required. His apology was unacceptable, and I had warned him to stay out of my sight until he found a way to bring Melina back to me. It was the only way to make things right, to set my world back to its rightful order.I closed my eyes, breathing in deeply as I struggled to maintain control. My expression was one of pure frustration and my jaw was tightly set as I clenched my teeth. I needed to find a way to move past this, but the thought of Melina with Alph

I had waited for this moment for so long, and now it was finally here. I was finally going to be with someone who loves me. The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow through the window, and the birds outside were chirping happily. It was a beautiful morning, one that was perfect for the occasion. My mating ceremony!!!Despite my joy, a nagging feeling gnawed at the back of my mind. It whispered to me that something bad was going to happen. I tried to push the thought away, to focus on the positive, and not let the negativity consume me. After all, this was the day I had been dreaming of, the day when I would be mated to the man of my dreams.Alpha Dwane was everything I had ever wanted in a mate. He accepted me for who I was, flaws and all. He treated me like a princess, not a slave, and he loved me f
Alpha Dwane's POV"Damn she is beautiful," I whispered to myself as I watched Melina walk down the aisle toward me.I woke up before the first rays of sunlight even touched the horizon. It was the day I had been waiting for, the day of my mating ceremony with Melina. I didn't want to disturb her peaceful slumber, so I quietly slipped out of our room and made my way toward the ceremony hall. I walked down the hallway and I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement coursing through my veins. I had spent days planning every detail of this event, and now, finally, the day had arrived. The decorations had to be perfect, the food and wine had to be abundant, and the servants and workers had to be on their best behavior today.I arrived at the hall and immediately started barking orders at the workers, making sure that they understood what needed to be done. "The flowers need to be arranged properly, the chairs need to be straightened, and the tables need to be set up!" I yelled, my expre

Alpha Dwane's POVI sat at the head of the ceremony hall, surrounded by my esteemed guests, discussing politics and other serious matters. My attention was divided, however, my eyes kept wandering to Melina.She had a natural grace that could not be ignored, and her dress clung to her curves in a way that made my heart skip a beat each time I stared at her.As I spoke with my guests, I couldn't help but steal a glance in Melina's direction every now and then. Her beauty was like a magnet, pulling my gaze toward her again and again.But just as I was about to lose myself in her charm once more, she walked towards me, leaned in, and whispered in my ear."Excuse me, Dwane, I'm going to slip away for a moment and change into something more comfortable. These heels are killing me." She said, her voice barely audible over the din of the crowd.I nodded, trying to hide my disappointment at the thought of her leaving my sight even for a moment.

Emma's bitterness spilled forth as she recounted the path that had led her to that vengeful moment."I was meant to be the Luna, destined to stand by Dwayne's side. I devised a plan to frame you for betraying him, but even then, he forgave you. It was infuriating. My rightful place was snatched away by your mere presence.""All this time, you've been plotting against me for something as trivial as being with Dwayne?"Emma's eyes glinted with resentment. "Trivial? It was everything to me! I couldn't let a blind girl be preferred over me, the rightful Luna. I thought blinding you would make you insignificant, but you still found a way to worm your way into his heart."Melina's mind raced, "And now you're using my son to get back at me? What do you gain from all this cruelty?"Emma leaned forward, a venomous smile on her lips. "I gain satisfaction, revenge, and the position I rightfully deserve""Dwayne married me, and nothing you do will change that. You can't erase the bond we share, n

It was almost time for the banquet so Melina took a dip in the tub which was full of herbs that helped rejuvenate the skin , after taking her bath she could feel her skin was smoother and a lot softer , she went to her dressing table and applied some essential oils and scented oils all over her body, by the time she was done the sweet scents filled the room.She proceeded to wear the dress she had picked , thinking the event was going to be a simple one like the wedding ceremony Melina picked out a knee length blue halter neck dress .
