SAMANTHA'S POVThat night as we laid in bed his hand had found my entrance and I had let out a soft moan as he ran a finger into ny lace panties. My response was to pull me closer into him and I wrapped my arms around his neck holding him passionately. That gave him the strength to pull me even deeper into him letting me feel how much he craved for me.I threw my head back in ecstasy as he slipped one finger roughly into me.He groaned as his blood ran even hotter.The temperature of the room increased greatly.The sweat dewed to our skin as the whole room smelt like swet mingled with sex.He trailed kisses down to my chest. Annoyed that the blouse I wore had hindered himfrom enjoying the view of my aroused peaks and bosom.He untucked my shirt from the waistband of my jeans.Now free,he had slipped his hand into my shirt, placing his hand on the sheer material that held my cups.Without so much as a word he ripped the sheer material which gave way after one short pull.

I looked up to santrir staing back at me triumphantly with smug set on his lips.Angry,I rose up still lightheaded and dizzy to land s punch at a splitting image of him which sent me stumbling to the floor."Look at you.Give it up.You cannot beat me.Not while you're still bleeding and definitely weak from the poison that I had immersed the dagger with.Did you think you were going to win?that I would get blamed for every single thing that went wrong when I didn't commit any of them”."Are you alright?"he asked with concern lace in his voice as he watched me grip my belly hard groaning in pain.I nodded losing my guard.He bursted out laughing.

SAMANTHA'S POV"Manuel what are you doing the kids could walk in at any moment!"I hissed trying to get his groping hands away from my body.I didn’t know what had come over him but as soon as I walked in through the door I was greeted with a beer hug and kisses before his hands began riding up my thighs to my belt buckle.I halted his actions which elicited a protest from him but it seems he wasn't about to talk."What's going on?"I asked skeptically."can't I just egenuinely crave to be with you and want you to be enjoy the experience?"he joked."No,seriously tell me.What is the problem?"I asked."I'll tell you but first things first.."said as he lifted my legs to wrap around his and padded barefeet to the bedroom.Once we were safely in the room.He locked the door after me placing the key in the dresser but first he dangled the keys at me with a boyish grin playing on his lips."Manuel let's talk first" I said ad he proceeded to undo the buttons of my blouse."No talking more actio
MANUEL'S POVI watched her eyes widen in shock,her mouth agape as she stares at me."Why did you do that Manuel?" she cried getting off the bed.Because I had to.It was either I was going to kill him or he was going to kill me,Itwas a choice I had to make when it came down to it and besides he deserved it after what he's done to you"he said you're nonchalantly."Manuel you did not just waved a hand dismissively at the death of someone. Even if he was a bad person,he deserved to die like that"she argued.I let out a defeated sigh."So tell me,how was it going to go. Was I going to let him kill me?"I asked clearly annoyed now."You're a resourceful man, am sure you would have thought of something eventually if it's what you wanted. "She said narrowing her eyes suspiciously at me.I ran a hand through my hair in fustration.“I still don’t understand what the problem is. I stopped him, didnt I?I thought that was what you wanted.

And the longer we stayed indoors the more time I spent thinking about spending the rest of my life with her.There was never any day that was dull with her around.I feel like a better man whenever I was with her.Everything that I felt was as a result of the conviction that I had with her beenwho I wanted to be.I loved her. I loved so much my heart hurt whenever she was in pain.And I felt happy whenever she was happy so marriage was the best step."Will you marry me...again"? I blurted out.She slanted her head to stare up at me."Where did that come from?" She asked."It came from my heart. I want to make you mine officially. You are already mine and as everyone knows you are my mate.But to make it official we have to stand in front of people to show our love and say our vows as they all stand witness"I told her.He

MANUEL'S POVHere I was standing in the midst of other Alphas. Who were congratulating me and giving me tips and advice on hoe to be married which was to not get married.They discussed problems that they were facing and not onmy did it strengthen my resolve to marry her but ug excited me.I wanted to get to that stage where she would nag me or where she would try to deny me sex because I made her mad.Those were the moments I wanted to see.And judging from the look on her face as she approached her parents at the far corner of the garden I realized what I had done.At first I had thought that's having her adopted parents here would somehow ease up the tension and around her getting married especially since Maeve had been nowhere to be found at thatmoment.According to her parents, they had told me that she had just left the house one day and didnt return and she hasn't for months now.It was baffling because after I had sent her away from the pack house, she had moved in w iui th he

"Rick poured out on my parents whinlooked uncomfortable aqueining from side to side as people passed by staring at us."Rick let's just go"i said dragging him away before it could get any worse.He dragged his hand away from mine as he glared straight at my parents while they cowered backwards in fear."Samantha, did you bring this man here to insult us?"My mother asked.She scoffed in disbelief."No mother but it’s what you deserve"I spoke up.She

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.

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
