Annabel's POV Confusion gripped me once I looked to my right and I couldn't find Oriel. Where could she be?With immediate effect, I stood from my seat and started walking down the stairs.I felt drawn to the room on the left before the first staircase. Trusting my instincts, I decided to go in and confirm why I would be drawn.Just then, the event of following my instincts and seeing what I shouldn't see struck me like lightning.I shouldn't repeat my mistake, but here I am torn between writing a different script and repeating the previous one.“It's just a few minutes left to the full moon, you can't possibly allow her to be just anywhere by this time,”I know Oriel is a strong girl, but she still has a lot to learn. I see her like the little sis I never had. Plus, she's a sweet soul. I couldn't love her less.I pushed open the door and to my shock. An unidentified man was on Oriel trying to strangle her with a throw pillow.Her words were muffled which was the reason why I couldn
Annabel's POV I looked around carefully and the only thing I could see was brightness.Where on earth is this place? I thought in my head.“This is a realm different from the world that you know,” I flinched as the brightness provided an answer to the question running through my head.It just answered my question. A question that I didn't ask. How possible is that?What is this? A brightness that reads the mind? “My child, you have no cause to be alarmed,” and for some unknown reasons, I felt calm, cool and collected.For the first time in a long while I felt like I was in a haven. From the brightness, a being emerged. Her face shone and I couldn't look her straight in the eyes.But far from terror and fear, I felt peace and tranquility. Each of her steps was enshrined in grace.She exuded authority, power and dominance. A thought clipped in my head, whoever I saw in the past isn't the same person in the void.But why? Why must I have encounters with different mystical beings? I k
Leonard's POV Alpha Nicholas is a good friend of my father, saying no to his invitation to his party wouldn't sit well with my parents.If I say I wouldn't make it, no one would force me. But what's there to lose? I have a business to take care of here in Glassland. It was perfect timing, so why not?I looked at the paperwork on my table and sighed. Who goes to a party when having loads of work to do?“Don't be a boring f****! Unwind, relax and chill. It's better than sticking your stuff into that ugly thing,”Lucil drooled after his last word and I couldn't help but shake my head.Far from enjoyment, this party is business for me. I need to meet up with a few people and confirm some of my suspicions.I hibernated my laptop and got out of the suite where I'd been staying for a few days now. The party started hours ago. But yes, what's the fun of getting there early?According to plan, I only have to show up, congratulate Alpha Nicholas and his Luna, present my gift, do my business
Leonard's POV I badly wanted to stop him. The pull became stronger the more I tried.“She f******* doesn't have a wolf. Why this insatiable pull?” I winched out of confusion.I haven't seen her since I came to the party. And right now, I have to search for her.I need to be sure whatever is happening is supposed to be. I need to find Oriel. She can help me know the truth. I need her to move past this phase.“Is she with a wolf now? Is our mate bond getting stronger or is it wearing off?”This pull can mean any of the options and I need to find out. That's the only way out of this ordeal.I couldn't talk to Lucil, he wasn't having it easy too. I know how much he has always wanted to reunite with her wolf.If she's back, then I doubt if there's a way out for me. Lucil comes first to me.I started walking up the stairs. I didn't know where I was going, but I just had to.The packed house has been renovated and is now different from how I left it.I held my chest slightly and continued
Zoe's POVI can't believe Alex could do such a thing on our swearing in ceremony of all days. First, it was our wedding day and now this big event that tells the world I'm a Luna?With a fake smile plastered all over my face, I walked past those miscreants who kept congratulating me, giggling like sl**s. Then I found Rita, “Thank goodness… I was looking for you,” “Are you sure you are looking for me or for your man?” She winked at me and I couldn't help but just relax a bit.“Yeah… I couldn't see you where you were standing and then he was also gone. How would you two decide to bail on me on a day like this?”“Baby girl… I'm sure he went to take care of something important…” She looked like she was keeping some important information from me.“Spill it girl… right this moment, let it out,” she sighed and urged me to come closer, whispering into my ears “I might have seen him go towards the Park's clinic”That information rang a weird bell in my head. Clinic? Why? Who's sick? And then
Alex’s POVI have never made this mistake and I'm not going to start now. To underestimate Zoe? Don't even dare it.I know she won't back off concerning Tammy -the sick maid. Zoe has been hanging out more with Rita and I'm sure it can't be good.Just yesterday, I discovered Tammy who was gradually relapsing again and that can't be by natural course.She was really looking promising the last time I was there, it's painful she can't write well, this whole thing would have been over by now.“I heard the maid is getting better and you are almost getting to the root of what happened on your wedding day. I knew I could count on you Alex. Make sure you get to the root of this,”Those were Zoe's father's words to me when he summoned me. He must think I'm doing this because I want to know what really happened or because I'm trying to keep up to being an Alpha.But the truth? It's the fact that I'm using this to distract him. I do not trust this man a bit, but I know for sure he isn't really ov
Zoe's POV To say I'm confident in my plan to get rid of that scallywag is an understatement. I'm always proud to boast in my abilities to achieve whatever I want to.I stopped bugging Alex about the nitwit, cos honestly, she's not worth it, rather than stress myself and allow her to mess with my head, I'd mess with her instead.Behold our Alpha,” I teased immediately as Alex came into the living room. He was a bit surprised due to how I've been reacting for a while now. But he shook it off and smiled. And with a whooping smile on my face, I probed him a little, “Where have you been?” I withdrew a bit and stretched my hands to remove imaginary dirt from my shirt. Truth is, I wanted to just touch him and he seemed to like that.“Babe, who asks an Alpha where he's been?” he giggled, “I've been out running errands for your father and being in meetings that are for the betterment of this Pack… so, cut this busy man some slack,”For starters, that is a lie and I know he's been hanging out
Liza's POVIt's been a long week trying to decipher what is really going on. First, I was attacked twice, and now it's Oriel.I wonder how he could have sneaked into the party because everyone at the wedding had to come in using their invitation card. I was so deep in my state of reverie that I didn't notice when Oriel came in. There is so much to think about: the attacks, Leonard, Amma, Artemis. At this point, I'm going to blow up.“Are you still thinking about the attack?” Oriel's hand on my shoulder made me jerk out of my thoughts.” I batted my eyes, trying to compose myself. “What did you say?” I asked. She looked at me with a ‘Are you kidding me right now’ face and then I replayed what she had said.“I thought we promised not to let your Dad or Fiona find out about this, but look at you, you are going to spoil all of that,” she came close and took the empty space by my side.“I know Oriel, but look at what happened. You couldn't find your mate because of that assailant. I'm wor

Annabel's POV I stood in front of the mirror, admiring the icy blue dress that I got from the store a few weeks ago. Dad had announced the date of his wedding with Fiona, and myself and Oriel had gone to get a dress each for the occasion.The dress matched my eyes and went well with my silver-dyed hair. The fabric hugged my curves seamlessly. Oriel's dress was the same as mine, but amber in color. A match for her eyes.“Hurry guys, we are going to be late,” Chris' voice echoed through the door.“Yes sir!” We both replied in unison. Oriel looked fantastic and I wish this event would be more amazing.I've been learning to trust Fiona again. After our last confrontation, she had been trying to make amends and the truth is, her efforts cannot be unnoticed.Chris had pointed out how close we used to be before the whole saga happened and I hope we can one day take off from where we left.“Okay, ladies! It's not your wedding day for Goddess's sake… I'm coming in,”Before we could protest,
