Scott's POV If furious were to be defined as a person, that would be me right now. I couldn't believe that all my plans, all my revenge, all of it had fallen through all because of that Alex. Damn! But it was my fault for underestimating him. But then again, he just succeeded in adding himself and his family to the list of people I must do away with in my act of revenge.But still, how could a careful plan like that just go to waste?"It was all because of the incompetent body I took control over!" I hissed into the air as I walked aimlessly about, trying to decide what to do now that my plan had fallen through. I needed a new plan, but it was hard coming up with one. If I was going to return for my revenge, then I needed people who would fight the battle for me, not people like those useless Elders. I needed people who were already used to war. People like..."Evie!" I brightened up as I remembered that I still had one more card up my sleeve. The card was such that if I played it
Evie's POV It was time for me to finally make a move. The move that would shape where all this was going. It was fine not to make any rash decision when it was just myself and Nathaniel who had the deal, but Scott was already involved in the matter now. If I did the wrong thing or made the wrong move, I was afraid that the man might expose me to Father. And if that happened? The end of my everything involving the old man. Rather than wait around for some sort of miracle, I decided that I was going to tackle the man and have him leave the position of leadership for me for real. Even if he didn't think that I was ready or if he tried to blackmail me with the fact that he was still helping me prepare, I was going to make sure that I assure him that I was more than ready and have him step down. Otherwise, everything that I had ever worked for would be ruined. That was one thing that I was not going to ever give in to no matter what."Father," I called when I saw him coming out of his s
ALEXAKIS It had been long and tiring days for everyone at the mansion. From trying to make sure that Luna Lisa survived the poison that was slowly eating her up, to making sure that there were no other bad eggs around the pack, to making sure that Nathaniel didn't try anything funny, and finally to making sure that everyone at the pack was reassured of their safety."You've worked very hard all this time," Claire said to me, giving me a peck on the cheek."But I still feel like something is going to happen," I told her in a worried tone.She held my hand and squeezed it to reassure me. "Don't be negative, baby.""I'm not being negative. It's just—" My phone rang, cutting me off. I turned on the screen and was surprised when I saw that it was Angelo that was on the line. "Angelo," I said simply after I picked up the call."Come to the den. We need to have a word." The man said without preamble. Then, he hung up before I could get any word out.The force that something was still not ri
Luna Lisa's POVIt's been a week of lying on the bed helplessly, wondering what had happened to my two sons. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out if there was anything that I was supposed to be doing on a sick bed when it was clear that my children needed my help.I knew for certain that Alex was fine. The maids who took turns to take care of me all assured me of that one fact each time I asked each of them separately. Sometimes, I would hear the man's footsteps as he walked past my room. Also, he always made sure to visit me at least once each day. It was during one of those visits that I mustered up the courage to ask him about what had happened to his brother after the battle they had - as none of the maids told me anything no matter how hard I pushed them.My dear filial son had told me, without mincing words, exactly what had happened to Nathaniel and where the man was currently. My heart broke each time I remembered those words - the words that assured me that Nathaniel was
ALEXAKIS Finally, the meeting with Kieran was done. After he was gone, I went to visit Luna Lisa to inquire about her health. I felt guilty because I hadn't visited the woman for two days in a row now. My consolation was Claire that was taking care of her and always giving me feedback about how she was doing. However, I was free now and thought that she would appreciate the visit.I opened the door to her room and was surprised to see that she wasn't anywhere in the room. Neither was Claire for that matter. My brows furrowed into a deep frown as I wondered where the two of them could have gone to. I went out of the room and spotted a maid walking along the corridor then."Hey. Please come," I motioned to her. When she got to me, I didn't bother to give her the chance to pay her respect before I asked her the question on my mind. "Where are Luna Lisa and Claire?""Oh. They both went out. Luna Lisa said to tell you that they would both be back soon and you shouldn't worry." The maid ex
Claire's POV It was almost getting to two weeks since Nathaniel got imprisoned by Alex. No matter how much pity I felt for the man, I wouldn't say that Alex did the wrong thing. However, the fact that no one had gone to check on the man ever since he was thrown into the dungeon made me worried. For all I knew, Alex might have completely forgotten about him and the fact that he was left alone with dead bodies as his only companions."Goodness!" I muttered as I remembered the dead bodies that Alex had refused to clear away from the cells the last time we were both there to see his younger brother.If my fear was right and the bodies were not yet disposed of, I wouldn't be so surprised if I got to the cell and saw that Nathaniel was also dead. If I was the one left in that kind of position, I knew that I was going to be dead no matter how anyone tried to convince me that it was fine. Mere thinking about the scenario was enough to make me want to puke."I have to go and see him," I told

ALEXAKIS It felt so good to have myself sucking Claire's lips once again. My left hand wrapped around her waist, drawing her in closer, while my right hand disappeared into her hair, caressing each tress with care. I might have smooched her just to shut her up, but my body was now calling to hers desperately. I wanted to feel the pleasure of having her body against mine once again. She moaned into my mouth, and I caught the quick gasp, twisting my tongue in. She captured the tongue and began to suck it with so much hunger. My hand left her hair and cupped one of her breasts. I squeezed it lightly before I pinched it a bit. She stopped kissing me and let out a satisfied sound.I took that as my cue to do more. I pushed her gown up and breathed heavily when I noticed that she wasn't wearing any bra under her dress. Her breasts were exposed for my seeing. I didn't waste any time and just pushed her back until she fell on the bed with a light thud. I went in after her and lay on top of
