Carlos POVSo this was her game all along? As I watched Nora and Karen together, a growing sense of unease crept over me. I couldn't believe the transformation in Nora was not planned. It was more like a premeditated move from the beginning.If not, how could a weak, pathetic human with no wolf or power be involved with the most revered Lycan Kingdom? How could I not have seen through her devious act right from the moment she gave me that pendant?How could a weak pathetic human I rejected as my mate turn into ...this cunning woman? But as I gazed into her eyes, I saw something that made my blood run cold. A glint of deceit mixed with a hint of betrayal. I felt a sudden jolt of realization as it dawned on me that Nora was not what she seemed. “ Traitor!" I spat out again, letting my wolf partly take over.She was a traitor, a human who was determined to bring down my pack right from the beginning. She must have known she was human and struck a deal with the Lycans in exchange for
Carlos POVI watched Nora leaving with Karen while the hall came to a standstill. I could hear whispers all around but I was least concerned. I didn't even give a damn about Jasper's hateful glares.There was something else I needed to clarify and that's with Aria.“ Carl-" Aria's shaky voice got drown in my anger.I walked towards her and without saying anything, I dragged her out of the hall, her hands trembling in mine. I still can't believe these women took me for a fool.First, it was Nora and now, Aria. I was still fuming from what I found out about Nora. My annoyance was steaming from the fact that she was still denying it.However, my suspicions were focused on Aria now. What exactly happened after she took my pendant? Why would she lie to me that it was my pendant? Aria was definitely hiding something from me, something about the pendant.“ Carl, please-"“ Shut up or I can help you shut it!" I growled, pushing her into the car roughly. She whimpered but I wasn't interested
NORA POVI needed fresh air, away from that scum. I still can't believe he was still so dumb to the point that he thinks I was hung up on the fact that he rejected me.It was so laughable yet annoying to see his arrogance displayed with such immense energy. Was he trying to dodge his guilt last night or was he trying to act smart? I bit my lip, holding back the tears and anger that threatened to overflow as I walked away from the hall with Karen. “ It's strange how that arrogant Carlos was even the least worried about his past deeds," Karen pointed out, opening the car door." He still thinks I am doing all of these because he rejected me! How stupid!” I scoffed, resting my head as soon as I entered the car.I was damn tired.That arrogant, self-righteous Carlos! How dare he accuse me of being a traitor? And to think he had the nerve to create a duplicate pendant, as if I would ever stoop to such deception.I couldn't help but find it amusing, really. Carlos was so blinded by his ow
NORA POVI watched as l' faces became pale, their eyes wide with shock. My mother's hand flew to her mouth, as if stifling a gasp. My father's eyes darted to Justin then back to me, his expression a mix of disbelief and concern."Nora- don't scare me, please. Tell me it's just a joke" my mother managed to say, her voice shaking.I felt a lump form in my throat as I saw the fear and uncertainty in their eyes. This was exactly what I was afraid of. This was what I hated to see, their tears and hurt.Maybe I should have come out clean on the first day. I tried to stop the piercing pain in my heart as the tears no longer needed to struggle to get to my cheek. It was already an open stream on my face. "It's true," I barely responded, my voice cracking. " After I woke up, I found myself in the Lycan Kingdom."As I sniffed, I got ready to open up everything to them about my life at the Lycan Kingdom. I took a glance at Karen who was standing as a guard to the entrance. He smiled faintly at
NORA POVMy heart shattered as my father stared at me, looking shocked. His hands clenched tightly as he bit hard on his lips. Those brown eyes of his stuck to mine. WeThe letter must be talking about what transpired at the ball. I felt heartbroken that he looked at me with such anger in his eyes. It hurts to see that he might have believed what Carlos said, not until I heard his outburst. “ That bastard! How dare he accuse my daughter!" My father thundered, making everyone shudder except Karen. He just used his beta’s voice. That was odd because my father rarely uses it. My heart felt lighter, my face beamed with undeniable joy. It was a relief that his anger wasn't towards me but to those who accused me.The moon goddess surely blessed me with the most wonderful family. As I watched my father shake with his lips clenched tightly, I couldn't help but let a tear fall.He believed me, even without me defending myself. “ He is so brazen to accuse my daughter of such an act. Who doe
Nora POVVisitors?I squinted as I perceived the pack members' familiar scent hovering around our house. From their growls, I could tell it was more of an orchestrated ploy to get me out of the pack, as a traitor.The air in the house dampened even more as I heard the grunts from my parents and brother. It was as thick as the anger building inside of me.“ I will go and sort this out," Justin said, making his way to the door but I stopped him.“ No, Justin. You don't need to get involved until I sort this out. This is about my innocence, I don't want to drag you all into it."“ Nora-" Justin couldn't finish his words as the growls and stampede was getting louder. It seemed like they were close to our house. “ How could he even think that- what the hell is wrong with Carlos?" Justin's face was filled with rage as he stared at the door.“ He is only acting as an Alpha," I replied, sarcastically.“ Alpha? What about friendship?" He asked, quizzically. It was evident that Carlos had ta
Nora POVThe voice boomed, sending shivers down everyone's spine. Well, all of the guards and Aria except me. I was still a Lycan and these people were just werewolves. I was only intimidated when I hadn't gotten my training.Not anymore.I looked up to see Carlos father, Viker Alberto, walking furiously toward Aria. Before Aria could say anything, a crispy slap resonated in the air. It was followed by a successions of slaps to all the guards around her.Aria whimpered, away from Viker Alberto with reddened eyes and clenched fist. I would have laughed if I wasn't the one on the receiving end. She looked like an overripe tomatoes at its sour state.“ You dare imprison my beta and his family without the royal consent? How dare you!" Viker Alberto growled, his eyes turning darker.Aria's pupils dilated as she made backwards move, unable to utter a word. It was as though Viker Alberto's aura suppressed her arrogance. I watched as she tried to speak, finally she spoke.Barely audible, stut
CARLOS POVAfter I left my father, I decided to find out more about this issue. I wouldn't let it slide. I wasn't ready to wait even till dawn. I believed the only way to find my answers was to get what actually happened that night.Deep down, I knew Nora was likely not a traitor but then I couldn't shake the fact that she was mingling with a Lycan. She even had the pendant inscribed with a Lycan language.There was something I wasn't getting about this whole issue. I went to the office, to get a clearer head. I was sure by now Justin must have heard about what happened at the ball party. Knowing how much he trusts and adores Nora, I know it was going to be difficult to convince him otherwise.So, until I found out what was actually happening, I blocked every interaction with him in my mindlink. I needed strong evidence in the presence of everyone to convince them of whatever was happening.It's been almost an hour and I have been trying to rack my head on what I was going to do when
