POV: Heather“What secret?” I asked him, acting as if I have no idea of what he is talking about. He smiled crookedly, tipping his head to the side and giving me a strange look. I turned away from his eyes, looking anywhere but at him. There is something about those eyes that makes me so uncomfortable. It seems like he can read my mind through my eyes and it’s so annoying and sweet at the same time.We were inside his room, sitting on the couch. But he still had me in his arms, holding me close to his chest as if I were some kind of a trophy or something. I’ve tried severally to change this position, but he was having it. He feels comfortable having me in his arms this way, rubbing my ass and caressing my back as often as he desires. It’s not as if I wasn’t enjoying it as well, but I just don’t feel comfortable with us being this intimate. If he can get into my head from a distance, what would he do when I’m this close to him?I can his breath fanning my neck as he holds me close and
POV: Heather“Stop it, Xander!Get out of my head, it's not nice to invade on my privacy, it’s disrespectful!” I let out sternly, pinning him a hard glare. At this rate, he doesn’t even need to get his guys to conduct a background check on me. He can do that all on his own, he just needs to catch me off-guard a couple more times and I’ll be an open book to him.“I won’t need to sneak around your thoughts if you just tell me everything I need to know about you. Can’t you see that I’m trying to establish a perfect beginning for us, why do you keep things from me?” he retorted angrily as I shut him out of my head, keeping my thoughts to myself.“Why don’t you start by telling me everything about you, maybe that would make me trust you more.” I responded angrily, sounding a bit sarcastic.“Fine!I’ll tell you anything. Ask me anything you want to know about me.” He replied, shrugging his shoulder as if he is an open book with no secrets. I was just messing around, I didn’t think he would
POV: HeatherMy loud moans were like an open invitation to him, telling him I was having as much fun as he is. He flicks his tongue on my marking spot, laving at that spot before taking it between his teeth, teasing and pleasuring me beyond imagination. My hip suddenly developed a mind of its own as it bucked toward him, making me moan even louder as that little action brought me so much more pleasure than I ever imagined. He rips off my thong in one swift move, leaving me as bare as he was. Then he took a step back to stare at my bare body, taking in a deep breath as he does.“Don’t do that, don’t hide this beauty from me,” he warns sternly as I tried to hide my pussy and boobs with my hands. He closes the gap between us once more, and this time when he kissed me, he was so passionate, so tender, and loving. I melted in his arms, and I got lost in the moment as I kissed him back with equal desire, responding as eagerly as he kissed me. He put his hand around my waist, holding me so c
POV: Xander“Something is wrong, Xan. I don’t think we can trust any of these guys.” Leon mind linked me, as he fixes a stern look at the six Alphas seated at the opposite side of the conference table in the Alpha’s boardroom.“I know, Leon. And I sense their nervousness too. Try and act normal, we need to make them believe that we believe their bullshit and that we are just here to help them solve this problem. They must not find out that we suspect any of them.” I told him sternly, involving Alexis in our conversation as well because he was getting fed up with this bullshit the Alphas are feeding us since we arrived.First, we came here for a purpose. I’ve made it perfectly clear from the onset that I was here to investigate the series of rogue attacks. But when I arrived here, he wasn’t the least bit interested in the rogue attack. He was more interested in telling me about his achievements these past years and how he has made it impossible for the rogues to operate around the nort
POV: HeatherI fell asleep at some point, feeling exhausted. I would have loved to wait for him to come back, but I couldn’t keep up with Alexia. I don’t know if it has something to do with the fact that she is a lycan. But, damn, the girl never gets tired of talking and having fun. She offered me some of her clothes for tomorrow, then she promised to spend the day with me and accompany Xander and I to the mall. She also promised to stand by me as I received my high school diploma and cheer for me like a true friend. After just a couple of hours with her, I knew the difference between an enemy and a friend.I was so exhausted by her stories and many questions, but I just didn’t want it to stop, I wanted her to keep gisting me about Xander, whom she fondly calls a knucklehead. It’s great to see that he has friends that would gladly give their lives for him. She told me about his broken heart, telling me how he has been unable to move on with his life, until now.“I’m glad he found you,
POV: HeatherHis eyes are fixed on me as I squeeze my eyes shut, willing the ground to open immediately and swallow me. He had caught me gawking at him, and now he’s going to think that I’m a freak. As if I didn’t have enough on my plate to worry about, now he’s going to keep teasing me about it. And he will think that I’m secretly in love with him.It’s so damn crazy!“Why did I have to act like a creep?” I thought within me as I felt his fingers on my cheeks, drawing lines on my jawline. I could feel tingles wherever his finger touched, and it took everything in me to keep up this pretense and act as though I was still asleep.“You look beautiful, cupcake. I would give anything to wake up by your side every morning.” He whispered in my ears, placing soft kisses on my lips, and my cheek, going down to my neck, making me shiver in desire as delicious sparks of electricity flowed through my body. I’m forced to open my eyes as I felt his lips on my boobs, kissing between them and making
POV: Heather“No…That’s not true, I’m not going to see him. I did not dress up for him, I promise. This is the only outfit I have, I just want to go to school, I want to…”He was gone before I could finish my explanation. I guess it doesn’t matter what I say to him because he has been in my head, again. He must have heard me thinking about Brian and now he thinks I’m in love with that idiot. I was going to go after him, but he walked out of the room, walked out of the front door, and shut it. Next unheard was the clinking of the lock as he locked me in.He fucking locked me in!I banged on the door repeatedly, calling out to him and trying to explain. But I could as well be talking to the damn door because he is not standing outside that door, and even if he was, he won’t respond to me. After all, he thinks I’m lying to him about my relationship with Brian. How can he think that I love that asshole, how can I love such a monster?I thought we were beginning to understand each other,
POV: HeatherIt wasn’t that bad, you know. I felt it was a bit strange that visitors as important as the lycans are not allowed into the school premises. I wonder if Xander is aware of this, I’m not even sure that this order came from the Alpha. I saw him last night, he is too scared of Xander to try something so stupid.“Get in quickly, Heather Snow. You can’t be seen loitering around the entrance, it could affect your final results. Don’t you know that you are late already?” An admin scolded me as she walked past us to resume her duties. She is so right, I’ll get in trouble if I'm seen out here when lectures are going on in my class.“Did you hear that, Heather Snow?” Vinnie asked, repeating my name with a disgusting look, acting as if my name was making her want to gag.“So are you going to go on like a good girl, or do you plan to ruin your perfect record by ditching classes and loitering around when others are learning.Come on, girl. I dare you to leave. Be a chicken and run alo
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
