When he was done with his story of how he had spent the last seven years, he stopped talking and looked at each one of us, and it was obvious just by our facial expressions that we were not buying it. We still needed more proof. "You still do not believe me"? He asked, raising his hands in exaspera
That feeling I had had before of Larry being changed was now stronger than ever. He might have proven himself to be my brother, but this man here was a far cry from the Larry that they had all known. The Larry of long ago was mild-mannered and calm, easy-going, but this Larry was aggressive, violent
LARRY'S POV "So what about mom?” I had asked, wanting to see her. She was the only person in his family save for Emily, whom he had not yet had the chance to see since he had been back, "where is she? I have not yet had the chance to see her or speak to her, or is she not living with you all anymor
"Bull shit"! I shouted once Lincoln and Lynn were done narrating their story to me, as well as the fact that they had failed to avenge our mother. No, it should be my mother since they had proven themselves so wholly incapable and inept at protecting and safeguarding her life. I took another glance
My brothers had proven themselves unworthy of leading the pack, and their method of rule, which they all left together as equals, could no longer stand. It was ludicrous. If they were not all on the same level of power, why should they have to rule together? No, now that I was here, all that would c
EMILY'S POV Larry and I walked down the hall way in uncomfortable silence, I still wore my fluffy night time slippers although it was now morning and they made a slap, slap, slap-ping noise on the stone flagged floor, servants scurried round and past us, their murmurs and swiftness giving them an o
When he has just newly arrived at the mansion, he had seen the brothers first who wanted to ascertain if he truly was who he said he was, when I had received the news of his arrival, he was already with his brothers, words were hardly enough to properly express the joy I had felt at his arrival, sev
He wasted no time, "I know I should have waited till a better time but I could not restrain myself" he said as he walked closer to me, "I do not understand what you mean by I've changed, I don't know if this is coming from my brothers, did they try to poison you against me"? He asked feverishly, gri
They were right, it's been years since we heard that I won't be able to give birth again, a change might happen in another year. Then all of a sudden, I heard the sound of the breaking of the air and I quickly dodged to the side. Then, I felt a stinging pain on my waist. When I looked down, I saw
But whenever I remember the look on their faces before they turned back at me and the fact that I still had their mark on me, I would lose the courage to hurt myself. Also, there was a part in me that wanted to take revenge for my daughter but in the condition that I was in at that point, I could n
EMILY'S POV. My face was a mask of resignation, a facade that concealed the raw ache of my sadness, my true emotions hidden beneath a carefully crafted veneer. My movements became slow and deliberate as if the weight of my sadness had settled upon my bones, making even the simplest tasks laboriou
"What took you so long? Did you forget that we were waiting for you?" The mean looking woman said but I just kept quiet without saying anything. "Now, that everything is done, I hereby use this chance to banish Emily from this pack, she will not enter the vicinity of the pack no matter what, now s
B..but, I was helpless. There was nothing I could do, I did not want them to suffer for my mistakes. They've not done anything wrong and it was all my fault so I should suffer for my mistakes. "Stop dilly-dallying around, let's do the ritual." The old man said again and I finally stood up weakly.
EMILY'S POV. "She can't stay here any more and that's final, if you continue to disobey, you will be sent into the pack's inner dungeon for ten years or even more." The hunched old man said and my heart skipped a bit Inner dungeon? Why were they so cruel? In every pack, there must always be tw
Although I had wondered who could be behind it all, I was not so bothered about it because it was exactly what I wanted. My plan had started to work too. I also told Matt to start spreading rumors about Emily's inability to give birth to any other child. I wanted to start shaking the brother's foun
"The others are also the same, they believed that following you would not do any good and they won't be able to gain anything and as you know, those people are only after gains and profit, so it is rational that they stayed behind and turned their back against you." "So, My Lord, how will you do it
LARRY'S POV. After spending some years alone and in pain, I finally realised the usefulness of power and status. Without power, no one would stay with you but I realised it too late and when I was at the gate of death. I was tired of working for or with my brothers, I wanted to work for myself. I
