POV: HeatherHe’s pissed!I can feel it in my heart. His aura is so sinister, making me shiver in fear whenever our eyes meet. He is ignoring me on purpose, giving me the silent treatment. I don’t know why he doesn’t want me to explain how I got in that situation. I wanted to talk to him and cry my eyes out in his arms, but he wasn’t talking to me. He’s giving me the silent treatment, making me feel even worse than I did before. I want to get angry and yell at him to listen to me for a change, but I’m still dumbstruck by his performance earlier. And even if he is so fucking pissed, I couldn’t stop staring at his gorgeous face, smiling to myself.He had come in like lightning, taking them down as if they were nothing. I’ve heard of the speed of Lycans and their strength, but seeing him in action was like a turn-on to me. He moved like the wind, all I could see was a blur as he flung them in the air, hurting them. Watching him hurt Brian was supposed to make me sad, I mean, I did love h
POV: Heather“I need a sexy outfit that Xander would love,” I blurted out without thinking, causing the girls to laugh out loudly.“See who is falling in love with the prince,” Marietta lets out teasingly, making them laugh out loudly as they both teased me continuously.“Come on, Marie, I’m not playing around. He’s obviously so pissed off at me. I’ve tried apologizing, but he just wouldn’t listen to anything I say. Maybe if I offer myself on a platter of gold, then he will take me seriously again.” I responded sadly, thinking of the silent treatment he has been giving me since he saved me.“Offering yourself on a platter will not be the best idea, Heath. I think he needs some time to get over it. You gave him quite a scare, you know. He was so scared and worried about you, did you know he killed two guards at the gate just to get to you?He broke his promise to his father and offended the Alphas that are supposed to help him crack this case. I know he doesn’t blame you for his mistak
POV: Heather“Do you like that, Butterfly?” He muttered hoarsely. As we kissed, I focused on the present, lost in the moment. Nothing else matters but Xander and I. He aroused feelings in me that felt so alien. I became more aware of my emotions and physical sensations, and all my worries and anxieties just disappeared into thin air.He lifted me up, forcing me to wrap my legs around his hips, kissing me so passionately. I could feel his dick poking my ass, and I bucked my hips to meet his, moaning out loudly at the immense pleasure I got from that little act. Gosh, it felt so fucking good. I feel at ease in his arms, and I cherish this moment because I will never forget about. It will forever be embedded in my memory.Do you know those fluttering butterflies in your stomach that are a sign that you care deeply for a person?Yeah, I felt it. It seems like a thousand butterflies were doing summersaults in my stomach. I felt goosebumps all over my body. My skin burned wherever his hands
POV: Heather“I’m sorry Xan, I didn’t know you had other plans for the night,” I let out sarcastically, moving to leave his arms. But he held me back, holding me firmly in place to stop me from moving. He still had his eyes on me, and by this time he couldn’t glare anymore. The anger seems to have disappeared from his face and he’s staring at me in a way that made me feel special.It’s as I’m still staring into Pegasus eyes, but no, it’s Xander's eyeballs I’m looking into. And I find warmth in them as he gazes at me with feelings I can’t really explain at this moment. You would think that Vinnie suddenly disappeared from the room, leaving us alone again. But that is far from the truth, she is standing right there, staring at us with venom in her eyes. And Xander doesn’t seem to care about her presence, although it’s making me a little uncomfortable. If I try to move or make an attempt to leave, he glares at me, forcing me to stay still under him and just look into his eyes. Next unhea
POV: Heather“Come here,” he ordered, sounding firm but calm. I acted as if I didn’t hear him, I just kept lying still, pretending to be asleep.“Please, Butterfly, I need you.” He let out calmly, making my heart flutter with desire. I know how difficult it is for him to admit this, but I can’t shake off the feeling of rejection in my heart. He had rejected me earlier, not even caring if his reaction to my seduction could hurt my feelings. But when he said harsh words to Vinnie, he went after her immediately. He’s such a liar. I bet he’s just trying to be nice to me to cover up for the fact that he has something going on with Vinnie that he doesn’t want to talk about.“No, you don’t. You need Vinnie and not me.” I retorted angrily, retaining my position on the bed.“Come on, cupcake. Don’t be like that. I need you right now, I really do.” He pleaded once more. He sounds so genuine, I don’t know why I don’t believe him.“You didn’t need me a while ago, Xan. You were so pissed when I tr
POV: XanderI’ve never been touched like this before, not even by Celia, my ex-wife. She kissed me softly, smiling widely as she did. Then she moved down to my neck, dropping light feathery kisses on my neck until she hit that sensitive spot that forced me to moan out softly. I dipped my head to the side, giving her more access to my sensitive spot. She continued her assault on my neck, making me buck my hips towards her.“Fuck,” I let out in pleasure as she nipped on that sensitive spot, grounding her hips to meet my erection, moaning out loudly with each movement. She pulled off my shirt, sitting on my hips as she undid my buttons. She took her time to caress my chest, smiling down at me as she did. When she was done ogling my bare chest, she leaned down and kissed my lips, softy, then she went down on me, placing soft kisses on my neck and chest.I growled in pleasure when she flicked her tongue over my nipple, biting down on my nipple softly before sucking on it to bring me more p
POV: HeatherCelia…My only rival…I wouldn’t have been this sad if he had moaned out Vinnie’s name. I’ve always known that he has something going on with her. So I wouldn’t have been too surprised if he had called out her name while we were having fun with each other.But it’s Celia, his ex-wife, the love of his life, the first woman he had ever fallen in love with, the woman that left him heartbroken and lonely for years. She was the Queen of his heart and first true love. So tell me, how do I compete with that?How do I compete with such perfection, how the hell don’t steal a man from a dead princess?First, it was Vinnie I was worried about, but as it stands, I don’t think Vinnie is the problem here. It’s Xander, he is still in love with his ex-wife. It’s obvious that he still hasn’t gotten over her death. As I listened to his explanation, I realized that it was not really his fault. I was set up by Alexia. She must be feeling hilarious today. I hope she had a good laugh, and I ho
POV: XanderDamn!She’s pissed!So fucking pissed. I’m such an idiot, I don’t deserve to be with someone as special as Heather. I guess Dad was right when he had me betrothed to Vinnie. I deserve to be punished with a mate as frivolous as Vinnie. I don’t deserve Heather, she’s too innocent to be with an idiot like myself.The more I explained myself to her, the more I realized that I was such an idiot. I can’t believe that I am trying to turn her into Celia. At first, I blamed it on her outfit and scent. I thought it was all Alexia’s fault because she had set me up with Heather by giving her the bathing gel and shampoo that Celia used. She gave her cute nighties and had her wear my favorite color to please me.I’d thought it was her fault, I would love to put the blame on her and put all this issue to rest. But the more I spoke to Heather in the room, trying to explain myself to her, the more I realized that it was nobody’s fault, but mine. It’s all my fucking fault. I wanted her to b
POV: Heather“I’ll be your sister, Alexis. I’ll love you like Alexia did and I will always look out for you, just like she did. I have no family and neither do you, so we can both look out for each other and protect each other.” I told him, smiling up at him hoping he would accept my offer. Taking care of her brother and always looking out for him is the only way I can honor her memory and prove to her that she is still my best friend, even in death. Doing this would ease my conscience and make me forgive myself a little for all the terrible things I’ve done.“That would be perfect, Heath. I’ll be a good big brother, I promise.” He responded excitedly, pulling me in for a hug. I sobbed in his arms and I felt my heart getting lighter as I unburdened the load weighing on my chest. After a few minutes in his arms, he helped me wipe off my tears like Richard used to do for me when we were kids. I smiled at the gesture, loving him like a brother already.“And lest I forget, my first duty a
POV: Heather“Please, Xan, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to defy your orders, I just wanted to help my mom, I thought she had changed. I honestly thought she would realize that I love her and accept me as her family. I wanted her to be the mom I used to know, I wanted the Marie who stood by me and protected me from bullies in the pack house. I never knew she hated me that much, I never thought she would try to kill me.” I sobbed, trying to get him to at least look at my face. But he wouldn’t spare me a glance because he is still pissed off at me.He was so scared when he heard the gunshot, and felt the pain in his heart. He thought he’d lost me and that really scared him. The truth is, if he had come in one minute later, I’m not sure I would have survived it. I had already passed out when they arrived, and Alexia was lying in a pool of blood, unable to help me because Leon shot her right after he shot me. This time he did not use the poison that was used before because I just administered
POV: XanderI started suspecting Leon after Lewis was killed by the rogues. Of all my friends, he is the only one who has not done anything suspicious since all this started. He is always quick to support me and as far as I’m concerned, he has been loyal to me from the beginning. He is my beta, and yes, I expect him to be loyal, but not this loyal. Not to the point where he never questions my decision or even challenges my wrong choices. He just lets me do whatever I please, whether good or bad, he just doesn’t care.When I first accused Alexis of being a traitor, he did everything he could to convince me that he was not working with my enemies. He was so agitated and he wouldn’t stop trying to prove his innocence to me, not even when I was branded a trait by my own father. Alexis stayed close by and he offered to help me find the trait if I would let him. He claimed he was framed by someone in this house and he wanted to find out who had tried to frame him.I didn’t really trust him
POV: XanderHe felt it the moment it happened, he felt his sister's pain the moment she was shot and he screamed in pain, holding his heart as if he were the victim. We were in my dad's office, going through the videos one after the other and compiling the names of the different parts that betrayed the kingdom. At first, Dad didn’t want to believe it, he nearly kicked me out of his office and he called me a bloody liar and a traitor. We argued, and fought, and then argued some more before he finally agreed to see the evidence that I claim to have against his precious lycan royals that he considers family.It took a few minutes to sort out the videos because they were all jumbled up on my system. While I sorted out the videos, Dad called a few lycans from each family to his office, and he called in the committee he had put together to judge Heather and I. He wanted them to see that he was not a part of this baseless accusation, and he wanted them to get more points to use against me in
POV: Heather“What the hell are you doing?” I asked her furiously, jerking her so hard to get her to snap out of it. Her eyes came back to normal and she glared furiously at me, turning with her lycan speed to threaten me with her look.“Are you fucking insane, Heather?Do you have a death wish?Can’t you smell the danger lurking in the dark, can’t you see that we are not supposed to be here?You should have let me speak with Xander, we need his help to get out of here?” She yelled at my face. More like crying out in frustration because she doesn’t want to be here and I’m forcing her to stay with me.“I won’t let you ruin this for me because I warned you to stay back but you wouldn’t listen to me. Now I’m here already, and there is no going back. I don’t know if our enemies are close by, but ill be damn if I let you keep me away from my mom for one more minute. You stood up for your brother when he needed you, now it’s time for me to save my mom.” I yelled in her face, glaring angrily
POV: Heather“How is she, why won’t she come along with you?” I asked him the moment he picked up my call. Alexia was busy checking around the house, searching for explosives or something. She did not see me going through my phone, but when she heard my voice she looked up immediately and she came running towards me, looking so shocked.“What the hell are you doing?” She yelled at me, trying to snatch my phone from me, but I put out my hand, stopping her from reaching for my phone. I gave her a look that said,“Calm down, I know what I’m doing.” She seemed to get the point, and she stood still, folding her hands on her chest. She did not try to take my phone again, but I could tell that she was still not comfortable with my decision. I ignored her and kept talking to Leon, telling him how grateful I was that he chose to look out for me. He was never this nice to me, I wonder what I did to make him like me this much. I guess he just wanted to take his time and get to know the real me b
POV: HeatherI marveled at her courage to pick up her phone, call Xander, and say all this trash to him. If I were her, I would be catching the next flight out of the country already. To think that she even tried to bargain with him, telling him to cl it even and let her and her family go after many years of betrayal and plotting evil against the prince. Then she threatened him with war, she threatened his life and mine, claiming she wouldn’t go down without a fight. If this is a trick to stall Xander while she escapes, then she is doing a good job. But if it’s not, then she had made a terrible mistake by threatening an already furious Lycan prince.I don’t know what he is planning, but I’m pretty sure that she would not make it out alive. The death she wished for me is coming right back to her, and just the way she plotted with my brother and the rogues and killed my entire family, that is the same way her entire family would go down. I would love to see that happening, but first, I
POV: HeatherHe read my thoughts and discovered that I’d known about his ex-wife and Vinnie, and yet I didn’t say anything about it. That made him so pissed and he walked away from me, calling me a freaking liar. I felt a sharp pain in my heart as he swore never to forgive me for lying to him. It felt as if my whole world was crumbling before my very eyes. I’ve felt his anger before, but it was never this much, and he never looked this disappointed before.Everyone in the room looked so confused as he walked out on me, leaving me to either follow him out or remain in there with the remains of my family. Only Alexia understood what was going on between us. She came to me before I could fall down and cry my eyes out. She held me so right, holding me in her arms as the tears flowed freely down my cheeks.“What did I do?” I thought to myself as Alexia led me to the car. I’m sure if we didn’t come out on time, Xander would have left us behind. He looks so angry that it scares me to even lo
POV: XanderWhen I first saw that app that is very similar to the app Celia likes using to store information she wants to keep secret, believe me, I thought it was just a huge coincidence. I mean it’s just an app that can be installed if you know the right people to go to, so I wasn’t expecting anything else. I just assumed that maybe he got the app the same way Celia got hers, that was just the thought in my head before I started viewing the damn files.Yes, I know Vinnie is a damn whore, and when she started aligning herself with the Alphas, I knew she has a mean trick up her sleeve. I assumed she was taking advantage of the Alpha's mistake to make them do her bidding, and I suspected she was dealing with the rogues as well, but I wasn’t too sure about that until I saw her meeting with Richard, making out with him even in the presence of other guys. From their interactions, you could tell that they go way back. They were more like close friends and not just acquaintances.There are
