POV: Heather“What is happening here, what did you say to him?Does he know I told you everything, am I in trouble?” I asked Xander through our mind-link. Too bad I can’t refuse the Alpha's request when he is making an effort to be nice to me. I sat next to him, and I felt so dirty to be sitting next to the devil himself. I could just reach for a fork or knife and stab the bastard in the heart or pluck out his fucking eyes. I can’t stand his presence, I don’t know how long I can pretend to be nice to him.“You know your eyes roll to the back of your head when you mind link me, don’t you?Except you want everyone to know that you have been hiding your wolf all this time, I suggest you stop mind-linking me in front of them. Alpha Robert is simply trying to make me forget about the earlier attack on us. He is talking about you, trying to make you the topic of discussion so I won’t have a chance to ask him about the weapons his spies were holding. Just play along, I want to see how long h
POV: XanderI’ve always known that a day like this would come. This is exactly the same way Celia was killed. They could never take out a lycan warrior so easily, so they tricked us and jabbed this deadly serum into her heart, making her go limp immediately. I watched as they attacked her mercilessly, kicking and stomping on my wife, beating the crap out of her. Luckily, the serum missed my heart when they stabbed me with the syringe, and that is why I was able to break free and run away. I could have stayed back and fought them, but I was weakened by the serum and they are too many for me to take out on my own. That is why I ran as fast as I could to search for help.After that day, I swore to get my revenge, and I promised myself that I would find a solution to that serum. It has taken the life of so many good people, it’s making the rogues feel invisible and indestructible. They make you too weak to fight, and then they kill you or drag you over to God knows where. We still don’t k
POV: Heather“What the fuck is she doing here?What are you doing here?” Tiana yelled at Heather the moment we walked down to the basement. She couldn’t stop thinking about the poison, and how close she was to being killed tonight. Besides, I want to know why she did it, I just want to know why she would want to kill her, I mean, What did I ever do to her?They may fight and argue over some things, but that is not enough reason to kill her, is it?I know she did not do it herself, she was made to do it. And I want to know who sent her and how she communicates with them. I took Heather upstairs, trying to cuddle her to sleep, but she couldn’t fall asleep knowing that the person that tried to kill me was right in this house with us. I wanted her to fall asleep before I went downstairs to interrogate Tiana. But she wouldn’t fall asleep no matter how I tried.“I just had to see her, I want to hear her confess to the crime. I’m not sure it would make me feel any better, but at least my min
POV: XanderIt was a few hours after Heath and I went to the room. She was still brooding, so I cuddled her to sleep, hoping to go down to the basement she fell asleep. I didn’t plan to fall asleep in her soft embrace. Holding her so close to my heart does so much to me, I felt so calm and peaceful within me. I didn’t know when I fell asleep with her in my arms. But the moment I realized myself, I got up immediately, placing her on the bed slowly before getting up to leave the room. I tiptoed out of the room so I don’t wake her up, and I shut the door quietly.I felt a cold chill on my skin the moment I stepped out of our bedroom. It felt like I was being watched right now, but when I looked around me, I couldn’t find anything or anyone. I looked up at the security cameras and I discovered that it was focused on me, as if someone was in the security room, watching me through the security cameras. It seems weird, and I don’t really believe that someone could break in here and pass thro
POV: Unknown“You stupid whore!You couldn’t just mind your business and keep your fucking mouth shut, could you?” I asked Tiana as she sat in her cell, staring at the ceiling and smiling to herself. She tipped her head to look at me strangely, but she didn’t linger on my side as her eyes flew to Alpha Robert who stood right next to me, glaring at her.“I was informed of your discussion with Heather Snow before she was poisoned, and I have only one question for you, how did you know about it, how did you find out about my plans to kill her?Were you sent by the prince to spy on me, did you place a bug in my office to listen to all my conversations with my business partners?How did you get into my secret safe to steal the bracelet, did you give it to the Prince, does he know about my deal with the rogues?Speak to me at once, answer my damn questions!” Alpha Robert yelled at her, making her eyes go wide in surprise as she stared at him strangely, looking from him to me and then back t
POV: UnknownCome on, don’t think too much about it because even the Almighty Xander has no idea that I was screwing his wife. It was so annoying to see him having fun with her, treating her like a fucking queen. I’m not saying she doesn’t deserve to be treated right, all I’m saying is that it’s supposed to be me, and not him. He has no idea what has been going on in this kingdom for several centuries. All he cares about is finding true love and living happily ever after with his chosen mate.The only reason why Celia had been with him was because she wanted to get back what was stolen from her family centuries before we were born. You see, there are four families that were in line to become the next king of all wolves after the last king died without an heir. They were the Darius’s, Bane’s, Edward’s, and Conan's. The Banes were Xander's family, while the Darius’s were Celia’s family. Don’t ask me about my family, I’m not a royal, I’m just an innocent bystander that saw a very good op
POV: HeatherI’ve not felt this scared in a very long time. I know he said I should stay in the bedroom and shut the doors, but I just couldn’t stay locked up in the room when everyone else was fighting to save our lives. If this is another rogue attack, then I want to be here, I want to fight them this time. The last time they showed their ugly faces, they had succeeded in killing my family, while I ran off like a scared little child, running to safety. Now Xander wants me to hide in the room like a fucking weakling.That’s just not right!I want to be there this time, I want to defend myself if truly the rogues are here. He can’t deny me this opportunity to avenge the death of my family, I won’t let him. I got out of bed the moment he told me the rogues had invaded this house and I put on some casual clothing that would not restrict me if I wanted to fight or defend myself. I decided to put on my sneakers too. I don’t know if I would have to go outside the house, for all I know the
POV: Heather“This is crazy!This is insane!Alexis is lying, I’m fucking sure of that. I’ve fought alongside him, I know what he is capable of. There is no way he would be overpowered by a fucking rogue. He is lying, I kid you not. He wants me to believe that he had been hiding behind a couch while our enemies jumped out of the fucking windows?Who lies like that?He didn’t even think about his cover story properly, he just opened his fucking mouth to say this rubbish to me, trying to make me look stupid. Now I can never trust him, or his sister…Hell, I can't even trust Leon and Marvy too. There is a fucking mole amongst us, Butterfly. And if I don’t find out who he is, it means I can’t trust anyone of them with information about you and I. They can’t know about my plans or even join me in making any plans whatsoever. I’m so fucking confused, Heath. It seems it’s us against the whole world, Cupcake. We can’t trust anyone else, we can only trust each other.” Xander let out in frustra
