SAMANTHA’S POV
I woke up feeling lifeless or should I say I should have just given up the ghost already, I’m not ready to feel the stinging pain.It’s too much for me.I managed to roll out of bed with the little hope that Jonathan would listen to me since my family threw me out already.He’s practically the only one I have now.I don’t know how I got dressed cause I’m absolutely absent minded, I feel lifeless to the depth of my soul.I managed to get some cash as my phone was now charged, I contemplated on calling Jonathan but I felt him seeing me would be better.The phone call might worsen things and I wasn’t ready for that.*************My way to Jonathan residence must be one of the longest journey of my life, it actually feels like it’s taking eternity with the little road block. I felt like screaming my lungs out but I finally got to his place after what I might call years.Gaining access to is residence was easy, most of the men knew me as his fiancé and I was welcomed and I also didn’t act like anything was wrong as I tried to gather every ounce of confidence in me.I made my way to his floor as the house was quite big and lengthy.I heard laughter from the hallway making me wonder who could have made Jonathan this happy but as I got closer I heard another thin voice.“Did you see the look on her face?”. I heard a thin voice say making me stop in my tracks.“It was hilarious”. The voice replied and at this point this voice only belongs to one person.Maeve!!!It felt like my spirit just left my body,the pain I felt yesterday was just the tip of the ice berg.“Now your father will try to make it up to me thereby trusting me more”. Jonathan replied“Making us more rich from the business”. Maeve replied screaming happily.At this point all I wanted was just to go into his private office and give Maeve a very dirty slap. How could she!!!.After everything and Jonathan?.What’s up with him?.Of all people!!!.They were the ones who planned everything, Maeve was never kidnapped. She used it as a bait to get to me knowing fully well that I’ll rush over.That was the only way she got the video.This was planned !!!I can’t explain the range that was inside of me in fact I didn’t know when I started marching towards the door.Little did I know I was about to see the shock of my life.Again!!I got towards the door and what I saw through the little space as the door wasn’t closed was enough to make me puck.I froze, I wanted to move but I couldn’t.It was like time froze or something.It didn’t even occur to me why everything was silent as I walked towards the door.I saw Jonathan and Maeve making out.A heated one.Certainly not the first time, Saying my eye popped out is an understatement.I didn’t know if I was to cry or just look, i struggled to even move an inch.I watch as Jonathan undressed Maeve and then my brain couldn’t take it anymore as I bashed in making Maeve jump out of her skin.“Sam”. She said in shock.The first thing I did was give Maeve a satisfying slap.Shocked as she held her face with her hand, I was about to give her another one when Jonathan held my hand in the air.I looked at him as tears flowed down my cheeks, I felt them burning my skin.Jonathan threw me to the ground as I ached from the impact.“And who gave you the right to walk in here”. He said staring right into my face“How could you?”.“Why would you?”.I asked him.I asked repeatedly as I cried.“Are you really asking that Sam”. Maeve replied with a smirk.“Oh, you thought life was going good. Big sis betrothed to Gamma Jonathan, oh please wake up.” She said.“I didn’t know you’ll fall for the trap thou, you’re a born whore”. Jonathan said.“How dare you”. I said“Oh shut up Sam, it’s over”.“Can’t you see it already?”. Maeve said.“I’ll make sure I expose everything, every little thing”. I said with every ounce of anger in my body.But then they just laughed it off, they seem not to even take me serious.“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself Maeve,I get that we are not related but why would you do such to father”. I said even thou I knew there was no point again.She wasn’t who I thought she was and I have been fooled, all my life.“And who are you, father’s daughter?.” She asked walking towards me.“Don’t you ever give me petty lectures again Sam”. She said pulling my hair with their slender hands.I managed to loose her grip from my hair, struggling as she was determined not to let go. I ended up taking her to the ground with me and that’s when almighty Jonathan gripped me by the neck making me chock.“How dare you touch her witch”. He said tightening his grip on my neck as I struggled and tears rolled from the pain I was feeling.“Please, please “. I said faintly even thou that was the highest I could goSuddenly he let go of me, I struggled to get air even though his grip was gone. Suddenly felt like air neglected my lungs.“If I ever lay my eye on you again,I promise that will be your last moment”. He said to me as I struggled moving back as he came towards cause all I saw was a beast.Not the man I knew or should I say I never knew.“Just kill her babe, she’s a troublemaker”. Maeve said“I’ll disappear”. I said not even knowing how I said that.My inner wolf must have played a trick on me cause I have nothing to look for toward to and I might as well just die but before I knew what was happening everything went blank.MANUEL’S POVAfter I left Micheal’s house, I knew I had to get to the bottom of this and fast also.I need to track down the girl, the owner of the bar and the fucking blackmailer.This is really messing my head up, I need to be careful with this thou as I can’t entrust just anyone with this. Even after running a background check on all my men, I still have a hard time trusting them. Micheal would always tell me I’m stuck in the trust vs mistrust stage of life but I don’t care anyways.Micheal has promised to help with the search not after I gave him everything single detail except the sex aspect thou. I wasn’t ready to talk about that as it was still a mystery in my head.I told the driver to take me home, I wasn’t really in the mood and right sense to go back to that office. But then I remembered I had to tend to some contracts and I found myself on the way to the office again. Here I was seated at my desk looking through the compiled contract in my front trying to embed myself i
MAEVE’S POV Ever since I was a little girl t had always felt that i was never good enough.Especially being the youngest , all my parent's attention had been on me but I always found a way to disappoint them while my Elder sister strived to be better at everything she did. She was a high achiever in academies, life, and love. Almost every guy That I liked or dated had ended up trying to get closer to her instead.So when Jonathan approached me I had been overjoyed but quickly it had been snatched away when an alliance was made between him and my sister. That tipped over the iceberg that had frozen my heart. Angered now, I knew I had to make a decision.Jonathan had still been meeting up with me secretly. We would rendezvous at a hotel or his house to satisfy each other's needs. I craved his love and attention and he craved my body. I knew that with time, all thoughts of my sister would eventually fade from his mind.Our numerous escapades brought wetness between my thighs as my memo
MANUEL’S POVI watch as her facial expressions changed as she narrated what happened between her and my Gamma.Of course, I had no way of confirming if it was true or not.“He threatened me, he told me that if I didn’t go as he said that he was going to kill me and my family and I had no other choice than to bend to his will”“Please don’t let him hurt me and my family”. She pleaded I paused for a minute, struck between believing her or what.There was no way I could find out.“It’s all right. Nothing is going to happen to you or your family, I’ll personally see to it”. I assured her.Deep down me I felt there was more to this, I dig down this matter in other to clear the confusion but it seems I’m more confused even after finding out the truth.Well, the supposed truth.But then I was probably feeling this way because I was drugged that night, my mind wasn’t clear. Jonathan had plotted his revenge against because of his lost for power. He must have wanted to become the Alpha but wa
MANUEL’S POV Things didn’t seems to add up even still, I can say at least 90 percent of my confusion was solved but I still didn’t know who I slept with. I still kept thinking about what the woman said and I felt like we still needed to talk but I guess till fate makes us cross paths. I need to figure the remaining pieces myself. I called in Cris while I try to focus on the deal of the day, well it wasn’t easy but I have a business to run “Yes Alpha”, Cris said coming in. I narrated everything that the woman told me chipping in my own opinion and concerns. How Jonathan had kidnapped her husband and also involved Maeve in it.But now the issue is that who was the lady in the room that night?.I needed an answer. “Did you confirm that everything she was saying was nothing but the truth?”, Cris asked. “Yes, yes”“Everything about her spilled the truth”, I said to him . I think I need to get the CCTV footage at the lounge of that night. “Tell the driver to prepare the car,” I s
SAMANTHA'S POV5 years went by and I never saw the man I had slept with that night again. Even when I tried calling him to tell him the news, I was disconnected soon after. I found out in the news that he had begundating Maeve and that he was planning to make her his Luna. That had hurt me a lot more than I thought it did. I hadn't tried contacting my family since that day either. They had cut off all means ofcommunication to me."Mama!"I turned as Finn ran toward me holding a Lego toy in his hands."What is it, baby?"I cooed as I lifted him in my arms."Mummy, Rey broke my toy" he cried“I’m o sorry about that honey, I'll make sure that I get you a new one okay?"I promised him which comforted him.That was when Nora towards me frantically. “Mama what about me?”, she cried out. Unable to resist, I carried her up as well, placing her on my other lap. “Don’t worry baby. I'll get you yours as well."I promised."Uncle Rick!" we turned in the direction of the door where Rey was wrappe
MANUEL'S POVI watched as the beautiful brunette walked in looking around wistfully and in awe, I couldn't hide the smile that had appeared on my face. However, I had to be poised and collected throughout this interview. Somehow, I felt this sense that I had seen her before. But I wasn't able to recollect where I had seen her orwhen."Is something wrong?" I had asked when she gasped in surprise.She paused for a while, before recomposing herself."No sir.I’m sorry about my...outburst.I'm still excited about the interview" she said. "So why do you think you're a good fit for my company?"I asked the most basic question I had asked all day."I think I would be a good fit for your company because I am hardworking, I can endure copious amounts of pressure and not crack and for a company like yours, I believe it is an asset. I am diligent and hardworking and am good with organization and detailing, life taught me that...." she said with a sad smile "...I am also relatable, if you're wo
SAMANTHA'S POV"What the hell is your problem?! you're such a shitty driver!' Rick screamed at the passing car that had almost run us over."It's okay. Rick" I tried to calm him down."It is not okay. That reckless driver would have almost killed us had it not been for my lightning reflexes "he said annoyed.I couldn't hide the laughter that had slipped out of my mouth."What?" he turned to face me, staring back at me like I had a mental issue."It's all right. You just have to chill.We're okay" I told him.Letting out a deep breath, he calmed down.Turning to me now, he gripped my hand excitedly."So you were telling me about the interview before that driver rudely interrupted "I shook my head."I'll tell you everything. At home. Let's go home."I said softly. Pulling his arm in the direction of the car.The drive back was quiet. Rick was supportive without goading me for answers. He knew that I would eventually tell him when I was ready so he didn't force the conversation.Back hom
MANUEL'S POVI was looking forward to having a good day today only to be greeted by bickering as I walked past the hallway to my office.The door to my new personal assistant named Miss Samantha's office had been slightly ajar.I couldn't help but walk through to avoid any sort of danger only to find Samantha and Maeve in a very heated conversation.I frowned."Who had let Mave in?"I thought. I made a mental note to inform all my staff about her unannounced visits."What are you doing here?"I turned to Maeve."Baby, Your new employee here and I were just having a simple chat. "she chuckled stretching out a hand to pat Samantha's shoulder.I haven't known Samantha for that long but it was very evident that she was very uncomfortable. From the way she clasped and unclasped her fists at her sides, to the way her eyes pooled with tears threatening to fall. I knew that Maeve must have said something like she always does."Maeve, I need to talk to you, "I told her before walking out signali
EPILOGUEOn the 24th of August,my beautiful daughter Ava was born.At the right time too."she's so lovely"Martha,my new mother said as tears welled up in her eyes."Isn't she?"Manuel said softly as he stretched out his hands to envelope the beautiful tiny creature in his hands."Daddy let me see,let me see!" Nora chirped jumping up and down just to get a good look of her baby sister."Yes!I finally have a sister. Thank you mummy!"she said excitedly.I laughed.Manuel planted a soft kiss on my forehead."You did great Samantha thank you for eveything. Thank you for coming into my life. "He said softly settling in the chair beside my bed with the baby in his arms."She's so tiny dad"Rey said in disbelief.I laughed."Yes she is darling. "He responded."Its amazing. Were we really this tiny too when we were little?" Finn added.My heart filled with joy looking at my family.Martha stood at Manuel's side with the baby in her arms and a warm smile on her face. While my kids surrounded Manu
SAMANTHA POVMy mind trailed back to all the seasons in our lives that seemed difficult that we never imagined we would scale through but we did. And I was eternally grateful to having the fate to meet Manuel in my life.He was indeed a blessing in my life.We had fought multiple times.***FLASHBACK***"There is no way that I will have a relationship in secret and I will never stand here and watch as other men sniff after what's mine" He told me grimly."I'm not an object!"I shouted.He arched a brow at me."No matter what you do now,you can't take it back. You're mine"he stated matter of factly."You're not saying that you love me but that I need to stay with you forever "I said."You're mated to me now.No man would be foolish enough to come close to you not when you belong to me now. "he said, pulling on his pants.I opened my mouth to speak but we were interrupted by the soft knock on the door."Mommy!"Nova's voice called out.I wrapped my robe tighter around my body. Walking over
MANUEL'S POVWe had come a long way. There was a lot of past behind us.I recalled all the moments I feared we wouldn't make it last.***FLASHBACK***How long will you keep up this act?"I asked."Am sorry, what act?" She asked feigning innocence.I groaned in frustration."You do not know what I went through there.They helped me and I couldn't just let your jealously get the best of you and have you laying baseless accusations against someone that had done absolutely nothing to you"I spoke.I watched as her expression changed with each word I spoke."Jealousy? Baseless accusations?" she repeated.I groaned out."You know that's not what I meant by that.I just...She turned to walk away. My hand snaked out to grip her arm."Manuel,let me go."She told me trying to struggle out of my grasp."Don't walk away from me when am talking to you."I warned holding her tighter."Manuel,let me go!" She cried.I saw tears pooled around her eyes as she struggled to break free.I dragged her into my of
SAMANTHA'S POVFive months later..."Why would you say that?"I heard his voice say in a hushed whisper."Is mummy sleeping?" Nora said."Look.Look.."Finn cried."Samantha?"Manuel spoke up"Doctor!she's awake!she's awake!"I heard him calling out.The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the intense glare of the overhead lightning.I raised my hand to cover my eyes until my eyes adjusted to the light.When the doctor were done with their tests and my vitals were checked, I watched the relief on all their faces.From Micheal and a beautiful female who was glued to his side.I couldn't hide the smile that crept up on my face which he returned with a boyish grin.My kids ran up to me.And with Manuel's help I was able to get them all on my bed.I was seated with my unbelievably huge belly inbetween my thighs.I had been told that I was asleep for over five months and that there had been any sort of hope of me recovering. And that it was a Miracle that I had survived evenafter loo
MANUEL'S POVOne second.Two seconds passed but still nothing.My heart pounding in my chest as I waited for the people to speak. The council looked smug on their table as they watched the tumult of emotions that passed through my face as I watched the crowd."Alpha Manuel!" Someone shouted from the crowd."Long live Alpha Manuel!" Another rose to cheer.And the rest stood chanting.Soon the room is filled with eruptions of cheers and claps as they chorused their answer."Long live Alpha Manuel!"They chanted in harmony."Order!order this minute! "The speaker rose shouting at the top of his lungs until the rook went silent again."You have all made your choice and we have all taken it into consideration. But until we have reached a final consensus, Alpha Manuel will be stripped of the Alpha Position and his Beta Rdyer will resume duties in his place until the trial is finalised."the man declared.The room erupted in an uproar of angry emotions."How dare you!"I shouted stilling the cr
MANUEL'S POV"What is this Manuel?" I cried."Where have you been?!" He said through gritted teeth."What is that supposed to mean?Are you monitoring my whereabouts now?"I asked in disbelief."Just tell me where you were Dammit!" He said.I jerked backwards at his raised voiceHe took steps backwards pacing away from me,running a hand through his hair."Why are you getting angry at me for?" She cried."You ...you've been having an affair all this while and I didnt know.How couldn't I have known. "I told her.Her mouth grew agape in feigned shock.I felt my blood boil mat the thought that she thought she could deceive me."Where is all this coming from Manuel?"She asked.I couldn't let her know that it was Maeve because it wasn't. All Maeve did was comform a suspicion that I've had for the longest time."That's not important. What's important is the fact that you've been secretive,absent and distant for a while now"'I told her.She raised her hand up in exasperation."That's because I
SAMANTHA'S POV"I don't think it would be easy to be able to find out the culprits" Steve said as he sat across from her sipping his coffee.We were seated in a coffee shop at the far end of town for a stakeout. We had found a recurring name in my mom's journal, Zain.My mom had described him as a nut-head that had wanted her mated to him.He had gone as far as going to her parents to get them arranged to be wed but she had blatantly turned him down stating that she loved my father who had appeared strategically in her life at the time.And after much difficulty they were wedded On their wedding day he had barged into her dressing room and threatened her to leave with him but she had refused. He had vowed that day that their marriage wouldn't last and that if It wasn't him that no-one would have her and that she should bid her time well and that the click had already began ticking.He had been dragged out because he had refused their offer of being escorted out.It did sound like th
MANUEL'S POV"Why the hell did you not take care of this Manuel?You didn't even tell me?!"cris scolded.I walked past him, pushing the door open to walk into my office as he trailed behind me."Everything that I did,I did for all of us. "I responded settling back in my cushioned chair."But still...Manuel what the hell were you thinking? Did you really think that you were going to keep this a secret forever?" He chastised leaning closer."I was hoping that nobody found out about it.That’s why I don’t understand how it was revealed and..."I explained...And you know that no matter what truce you may have called with the council, they were going to flick around this piece of information like vultures prey looking for their next dead meat"Cris finished. He slammed his fist on the desk with a bang. Unfazed I stared at the dent that he had made onmy furniture."Manuel it's not about you killing him. Everyone knew he deserved it but you had to know that eventually the truth would be reveal
SAMANTHA'S POV"Manuel Wait!Stop!"I said moving my lips away from his,moving my head to the side.His hand gripped my jaw stilling my movement."Samantha please let me.I love you. And I want to show you"he pleaded.I stared into his eyes watching his dark beautiful orbs glistening with desire.Desire for me.I nodded.He let out a sigh of relief,bringing his lips down towards my lips.Bringing his lips dangerously close to my lips,he nibbled on my lower lips waiting. The pain in my arm was forgotten as he pinned me closer to his body,bringing my belly closer to fill his need for me.I tried to side step him but wasn't successful, instead he lifted me up unto the desk, prying my thighs apart he slipped in between them wrapping my legs around his waist to cage me in.he growled impatiently slamming his lips unto mine.He rode my skirt higher up to reveal my red lace panties.His eyes lingered for a while before ripping them off."Manuel!"I exclaimed."I love the way you say my name"he said
