Allison's POV I glared at the mountain of food right in front of me. I had never felt less like eating in my life. For one, it hurt to swallow. Secondly, eating with Dante at my side was like torture. When a maid had come to call me down to breakfast this morning, I had deliberately used up a lot of time to get ready. I had earnestly hoped that Dante would be done with breakfast by the time I came into the dining room. Contrary to my expectations, he was there already eating with Madison and Maddox.Without a word to either of them, I had taken a seat. To make it worse, Madison had somehow totally gotten over her sour mood of the day before. She was back to her normal vivacious self. Inwardly, I groaned. This day couldn't get any worse. I heartily wished Madison had picked any other day to be friendly. She kept talking to me. I pointedly ignored her and tried to tune her voice out so it could become mere background noise. Dante on the other hand seemed only focused on eating. He wa

Dante's POV I blew out a relieved breath. Finally, the meeting was over and I could think a little. It was a wonder how I had sat through several hours of the just concluded meeting with the Alpha of one of the neighboring packs. I supposed the success of the meeting was largely due to Maddox. He had sort of taken charge and had filled in all the awkward pauses. The Alpha had seemed happy enough when he left so I supposed that my preoccupation had not been noticed. Impatiently, I slammed my fist on the table. The events of last night were still playing in my head. I had really hurt Allison- physically and emotionally as well. Allison always put up that tough exterior but I was pretty sure that she was hurting inside. She had covered it up by acting antagonistic towards me at breakfast this morning. The turtleneck sweater she had worn was a testament to the fact that the prints of my fingers were visible on her throat. Damn! I was such a jerk. It had been an uphill task to get Allis

Allison's POV I sat back with a relaxed sigh. The food here was really good. The waiter brought dessert and it tasted even better. I was literally sloshing with food. I had almost nothing to eat during breakfast today so I supposed Madison had come up with a good idea this time."Had enough or do you want more?" Madison teased. I smiled wryly. "I am literally sloshing with food.""Yeah. Me too. Do you want to go anywhere else?"I appeared to consider her request but I honestly did not want to go somewhere else. Though I had enjoyed this particular outing, hangouts were not my thing and I was already beginning to feel uneasy here. Dante would not approve of us going into the woods considering all that had happened lately but pushing the idea to Madison was worth a try."No. I think we should head back home," I checked my wristwatch. "We have been here for a few hours already."Madison stuck her lip out. "I never thought you were a stickler for time. Here I was thinking that you would

Allison's POVEven though I could not communicate with him through mindlink yet, I could feel the anger coming off Dante in waves. His teeth were bared and snarl after snarl erupted from him- his wolf's version of a scolding. I sighed, waiting for the tongue-lashing I knew was coming. I supposed that Madison had told him about us coming home in our wolf forms. It would have been much easier on both of us if she had wisely left that part out. But Madison was a prattler and did not seem to be able to keep any secrets. Stoically, I faced him. It actually turned out that I had done the right thing by being in the woods at that particular time, so I guessed that counted for something. Dante's shape seemed to warp before my eyes and before I blinked again, he was in his human form. He was not wearing any clothes apart from a tiny scrap of what must have been his boxers which currently hid his privates to a certain extent. That showed that he had come here at once. Perhaps he had phased

Dante's POV"Let go of me!" The man managed to cry out and tried to shake off my iron grip.When he did not succeed, he pounded feebly on my arm. His attempts to get free only served to fuel the intense rage I felt. My grip around his neck tightened. Through the red haze of rage that seemed to obscure my vision, I saw his face suddenly congested with blood as his air supply was cut off. He made a choking, gurgling sound which was like music to my ears. I wanted him to hurt, to bleed just as she had hurt the girl, just as he had tried to hurt Madison. He placed his hand around mine in a futile attempt to stop me from choking him. I withdrew one hand, grabbed his hands which were wrapped around mine, and squeezed. There was a satisfying crunch as several of his fingers broke. He opened his mouth and voiced out a soundless scream. The traitors' stubbornness was something I secretly enjoyed. I had no patience for a sniveling, groveling prisoner. Since I had gotten into the cell and dema

Dante's POV Even before I ordered her to leave, I knew that Madison would not go until she had her say. I just had to try anyway. "You are throwing me out because I spoke the truth?" she said indignantly. "I can't believe you right now, Dante." "Allison?" Maddox called warningly.She glared at him. "Stay out of this. This issue does not concern you in any way."Maddox threw up his hands in surrender. "Fine." She stalked to the door, then turned and glared at me. I stared her down. Maddox went to stand beside the door, ready to usher her out. There Madison was, talking about how unfair I was, forgetting that she had somehow been culpable. It was on her watch that this incident had happened. I had expected her to closely monitor Allison. That was why I had not hesitated to let them go shopping. I pressed the heel of the hand to my eyes, somehow wishing Madison would magically disappear. Madison said something else but I wasn't listening. With long practice, I had almost perfected th

After a fitful night's sleep, I woke up to the events of the previous day playing around my head. The unfairness of it all hit differently this time. I thought of Dante. Maybe his brain had been addled by the events of the last few days. Did he seriously expect me to voluntarily stay in his pack forever? If he did, then his expectations of me were laughable. I dressed quickly and opened the door. At first, I did not see anybody, but then I looked to my right and saw Lucius standing there. There were two other guards in the corridor but they were a few paces away. It seemed it was Lucius' turn to stand guard outside my door. As soon as he heard the door open, he shifted slightly, blocking the exit with his body. I scowled but said nothing and attempted to go out through the little space I saw. It was too small for me to pass through. I stopped trying and glared at him. "Good morning, Luna," he said, not quite meeting my eyes. "Move," I ordered. He grimaced and scratched the back

The maid had been knocking on the door for the past minute. I glared at the door, wishing she would go away. All members of Dante's pack annoyed me- especially Dante himself. It was aggravating to think that even the lowest-ranking Omegas had freedom and a free run of the pack. I, a Beta in my own pack, had been confined to my room, like a wild animal. My only glimpse of the outside world had been through my window or in the peek I got off the corridor whenever someone came in. It had been three whole days since Dante had given orders for me to be confined in my room- an order Dante's guards had obeyed wholeheartedly. It struck me that they somehow had not been able to stop the traitors even though Dante had given them the order to do so. I had helped the wimps do their job and the reward I had gotten was little more than imprisonment.The knock sounded again."Luna, may I come in?" said the maid. I fought the urge to throw something against the door. Moments later, the door opened

Allison's POV Dante's piercing eyes surveyed everyone in the room. It was as though those eyes were able to unravel every man's secrets. Though he spoke to everyone at the same time, at that moment, it felt like he was talking to each of the men in the conference room individually. The men assembled leaned forward, their bodies tense, looking as wound up as taut strings. They hung onto his every word. The boy in the room who sat beside Dante was transfixed. I could tell that he closely followed all that his father was saying. I smiled a little at the worshipful expression in those green eyes that were so like mine. After a silence of some seconds, Dante continued, "We have been through worse in the past and this poses as no challenge whatsoever. I consider this war we are about to go on... as a form of target practice. Some of you have gotten rusty over the years, so this should be an opportunity to take out your rusty daggers and relearn how to fight." There was a ripple of laug

Allison's POV I spent most of the morning in my room. I kept replaying the scene with Dante this morning over and over in my head. Each time, I gave his words a totally different interpretation and that made me sadder. I knew that I was torturing myself by doing this, but I could not seem to stop. I had ordered for breakfast in my room. Whenever Malkiel had felt hungry, I had fed and soothed him. A short while after breakfast, Aria had come to talk to me. Sensing that something was wrong, she had asked why I did not bother to come down for breakfast and why I was cooped up in my room. Then she had prattled on about a lot of other things which I did not bother to pay attention to. My replies had been so curt that she had eventually left, but not without informing me- without me asking- that Dante had left the pack to attend to some things. It came as a surprise to me when less than an hour later, a knock sounded on the door. I immediately perceived Dante's scent outside the door.

Allison's POV For the next few hours, Malkiel's temperature kept fluctuating. Sometimes he was as hot as a live coal. Sometimes his temperature returned to normal. At other times, he felt cool to the touch, so cool that I felt goosebumps form on my skin when I touched him. It was still scary to see my baby going through these kinds of changes within the space of a few minutes. Even though I knew what had caused Malkiel's illness, it still did not make it easy to deal with. I did not know what to think- how to feel about all of this. It was too much to take in all at once. After Dante had told me about what the red mark was, I had sat watching my son for hours, thinking about all he had said. As I stared out of the window, my fingers trailed along Malkiel's chest. It was easier for me to believe what Dante had said because apart from the high temperature and the fact that he was sleeping too much, Malkiel did not show any other signs of illness. A part of me- the part which alway

Dante's POV I glared at the woman who was on her knees before me. She was crying and mumbling incoherently and had been doing that for the last few minutes. Stiffly, I walked back to my desk and sat down behind it. At least the desk provided a sort of barricade that might prevent me from hurting her. I closed my eyes, shutting out the image of her face. Slowly, I massaged my temples as I felt the headache I associated with one of my fits of rage coming on. My wolf was getting restless, wanting to come out. If it did, it would be bad for the woman- very bad indeed. Calm, be calm, I muttered to myself over and again. When I felt I was somewhat in control of myself, I raised my head and pinned her with my stare. "So, what are you trying to say, Tessa?" I said. "Apart from the Luna and I, you are the only one who spends so much time with my son as you are his nanny. Explain to me how the hell this happened under your watch." "It didn't-" I motioned her to be silent. "The Luna

Allison's POV My eyes lighted on the most adorable baby sleepsuit I had ever seen. I caught my breath in delight. A woman was in front of the rack where the sleep suits were displayed. She was looking at the one that had caught my eye consideringly as though she was thinking of buying it. Abandoning the shopping cart for Aria, I dashed forward and took it off the hanger, startling the woman a bit. I walked back to Aria who was trying to see what I was holding. "What have you got there, Luna?" she asked. "Only the most adorable little sleep suit for Malkiel." I held it up for her inspection. She shook her head emphatically. "Nope, definitely not. This isn't... Malkiel's style at all." I grinned. "How do you or anyone know what Malkiel's style is? He's just a baby." "And he won't like that, trust me. There are some clothes I dress him up in and he then tries to take them off by all means. That way, I know that he doesn't like them." "You don't like it, you mean. What is wrong

Dante's POV With a flourish, Maddox handed me a document that had every inch filled with letters and figures. "Here, take a look at this," he said smugly. I settled down to read what he had given me. Without taking my eyes off the document, my hand wandered across the desk. Anticipating my wants, Maddox pushed the calculator towards me. I snatched it up and for the next few minutes, the only sound in the room was the faint beep of the calculator keys as I put together the figures before me. When I was done, I leaned back and whistled in surprise. "How accurate is this?" I inquired. Maddox flashed a smile. "I knew you would ask that. It is very accurate. I went through it thoroughly. I knew that you would want to see the documents sooner or later, so I prepared in advance. Surprising, isn't it?" "Not entirely," I replied after a few seconds' hesitation. "I was sort of expecting something like this. But the figures- the figures are quite astronomical. Wow." Maddox had given me

Allison's POV A pleasurable thrill went through me. Dante had that look in his eyes that told me he wanted us alone, together. My insides warmed at the intensity of his gaze. I nodded. He grinned and pressed me even closer to his body. "That's my girl. You said what I have been wanting to hear all evening," he murmured. He stepped away, looked around, and slid an arm around my waist. He walked quickly and I was almost forced to run to keep up with his stride. He weaved his way expertly among the guests we ran into. He seemed to have an instinctive knowledge of who wanted to engage us in some sort of conversation. We got inside and I was about to push the door of his room open when he kneaded my bottom. "Dante!" I exclaimed, laughing. "Let's get inside first. There are too many people tonight." As soon as we got in, he planted a burning kiss on my lips. I moaned softly, responding eagerly to the feel of his lips against mine. I had thought that with the birth of our child, the p

Allison's POV Aria stood at the entrance of my room. She walked further into the room, her flowing, black velvet dress rippling as she moved. She stopped beside my bed and regarded me closely. "Well, I don't believe it!" she exclaimed. "Luna, I can't believe that you are not dressed yet." I yawned and stretched. "I will get dressed... eventually." Aria gaped and shook her head. "The time is 6 pm. 6 pm!" she repeated when I said nothing. "The ball is due to start anytime from now. Your hair and makeup aren't even done yet. Luna, you should have been ready hours ago." I grimaced at the word make-up. "Who needs make-up anyway?" I grumbled. "It even wastes time. I have an idea, Aria. How about I go downstairs with no make-up on? I will just er- try to fix my hair up a little." Tria looked scandalized at the very idea. "Definitely not, Luna. What would people say? You are one of the reasons why this ball is holding. You have to be perfect for tonight. A lot of people from other

Allison's POV The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Dante, sitting on the bed beside me. I gaped at him. My first thought was that I had died and gone to whatever paradise the Moon goddess provided for my kind. While I had been semi-conscious after giving birth, I had thought I heard his voice in my room. But I had dismissed the evidence of my ears, tagging it to be a product of my overactive imagination. Now here he was, right before me. When I blinked, his form did not waver or turn to smoke like it had in my dream. I did not want to get my hopes up, but I gradually started to believe that it was Dante I saw. He saw me looking and gave me his familiar lopsided grin. "Dante," I croaked. "Is- it really you?" He looked at me with such love and longing that I felt my insides melt. I put out a hand and touched his warm flesh. "Yes, it is me, my love. I am here with you." I took a deep, shuddering breath. The sound of his voice drove home the fact that I was not dream
