"Let me go! Get your hands off me! Let me go!" I yelled, pushing against him furiously, but instead of releasing me, he slobbered kisses all over my face and I felt as if a worm was crawling on my skin. Suddenly, the door flew open, and facing me, looking at us was my mate - his face a cross between murderous rage and crippling shock. I quickly pushed the stranger away from me and rushed towards my mate. Before I could get to him, however, he stepped backward. "So it's true? So this is really who you are?! You've been cheating on me all this while?" "No, George, listen-" "How dare you defile our relationship and the position you have as Luna of this pack?!" "No-" "I should have listened to my family from the beginning. Should have listened when they told me you were nothing but filth, nothing but a gold digger out for what she can get from anyone!" Betrayed and accused of cheating on her mate, the Luna of Shadow Fangs Pack, Wendy Ashton, pleads with her mate, Alpha King George to believe her innocence. But the evidence was clear, everything pointed that she was indeed guilty. Wendy was brutally rejected and cast away like a worthless piece of trash to a point where she lost the little life growing inside her. Yet, her mate would not budge, he demanded divorce. Wendy has had enough, she decides to give him what he wants and sign the divorce documents. But Just when she was about to engrave her signature on the document, a sudden voice rang in her ears. "Do not sign, Wendy! This isn't the way of the Uktenas. Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!" Her wolf which everyone thought had died, suddenly appeared, its eyes burning red.
View MoreGeorge's POVThe link, newly forged screamed with her agony."Your Highness!"I heard Edward’s voice tinged with instant worry. Hands, warm and familiar, were gripping my arms, trying to steady me. My vision swam."What is it, George? What's wrong?" Edward’s voice seemed nearer now, persistent.“Wendy,” I finally gasped, the word a hoarse whisper. “It’s Wendy. I feel… I feel her pain.”Edward’s eyes flashed with recognition, then flickered with worry. He knew what the link signified, knew what I felt for her. Without a word, he barked orders."Get the car ready! Now!"The pack warriors sprung into action. I pushed up to sitting, ignoring the residual throbs in my chest.“I have to get to her,” I said, my voice declaring some of its authority. "Now. Drive!"I waited for no confirmation. I nearly flung myself into the back of the waiting car. Edward squeezed in next to me, solemn-looking."Where to, Your Highness?" “Where to?” Marco, my driver, asked, steadying his hands on the wheel.“
George's POV“They have revealed their intentions, Edward,” George said, coolly angry; not something he had to fake; something barely held in check. The heavy boots he wore clicked a perilous rhythm against the polished stone floor as he paced the length of his office. “The Moonlight Pack has war on the brain. Fine. Let them have it."Beta Edward, a man as unmoving and steadfast as the mountains that surrounded their territory, shifted his weight uncomfortably. “Your Highness, if I may speak freely, is war really the best path forward right now? And we have just discovered Rosina’s plots and the pack is still repairing..."George paused his pacing, his stormy sea-colored eyes snapping to Edward. “Know your place, Edward,” he said with a dangerously low voice. "I am Alpha King. I make the decisions. You counsel, but you do not question my judgment. Criminals have hidden with the Moonlight Pack who have wronged MY pack, murdered MY people. When I ask for justice, they spit in my face. W
George's POVI rubbed my hand over my face, trying to get rid of the feeling their visit left. Rosina and Gerald, they were a big problem for me, always reminding me of the bad things in my own pack.“Edward!” I shouted, my voice echoing down the quiet hallway.My helper showed up right away, standing up straight and ready. “Your Highness?”“I'm going to see Sirius.” I said, turning towards the jail cells. “Get the guards ready.”Edward walked next to me. “Of course, Your Highness. Everything is ready.”We walked quietly, the only sound being our boots hitting the stone floor. As we got to the room we were supposed to go to, I saw something was wrong. Two guards were standing straight outside, but the door was a little bit open. I stopped, feeling a bad feeling in my stomach.“Why are Rhys and Sirius's son in the same room?” I asked, my voice low and angry.Edward hesitated, his brow furrowing in confusion. “Your Highness, I... I didn't know Prince Derek was with his father.”“Explain
Wendy's POVHe didn't waste time. "Wendy," he started, his voice low and serious. "The Shadow Fangs Pack has had a lot of problems lately.""Problems?" I repeated, acting like I didn't know. I knew exactly what he meant. The group was still dealing with George's quick, harsh grab for power and the trouble that followed."Yes, Wendy. More guards, tighter security, fights on our borders," he said, looking straight at her. "I think a lot of these problems are because we don't have a Luna."I crossed my arms, trying to figure out what he meant. "Yes?" I said, keeping my voice calm. Where was he going with this? Was he saying it was my fault the pack was in trouble?He sighed, a tired sound that said a lot about how old he was and how much he had to deal with. "A pack needs a Luna, Wendy. A leader, a symbol of being together and being strong. Someone to help and calm the problems.""And?" I asked, getting annoyed. "How does this affect me?""When a pack has a Luna, there's a better chance
Wendy's POV"I'll handle Brittany," George said, his jaw clenched. "You go home, Wendy. Get some rest."I nodded, giving a small smile. "Okay, be careful."He gave me that look, the one that made my stomach drop - a strong mix of worry and something else I couldn't describe. I turned and walked away, trying to ignore the warmth spreading through my chest.The ride home was a haze. I kept thinking about all the time I spent with George since I got back. How he looked at me, how he listened to me, how he stood up for me... It was all so different from the guy I used to know. Is it possible? Am I... falling for him again?I held the steering wheel tighter, trying to push away the bad thought. This was George, the guy who hurt me, even if someone had tricked him. I made a new life and became a new person after him. I won't just give it up.I drove into my garage, the door closing automatically behind me. The house was quiet, really quiet. I normally like the silence, but tonight, it made
Rosina's POVMy lungs hurt as I walked through the thick bushes. The smell of pine and wet dirt filled my nose, very different from the nice smell of George's home. Every time a leaf moved or a stick broke, it made me very nervous.I know George. He won't let me get away that easily. He'll send his best trackers, the meanest wolves in his pack, and they won't give up.I had to keep moving.Time felt like forever as I walked through the tough land. My muscles hurt a lot, but I didn't listen to them. Each step I took was a win, a way of saying no to the Alpha King who thought he could boss me around.Then, I heard it. A quiet sound that was almost too soft to hear, carried by the wind. It was the signal. My heart jumped with a mix of relief and fear. Logan.I gave the planned reply, a slightly higher sound that went through the trees. I waited, watching closely, looking for any sign of movement in the dark.A person came out of the dark, standing out against the spotted moonlight shinin
Wendy's POV“What do you mean, Captain?” George asked.He squirmed, his broad shoulders lifting a bit. “Your Highness, I'm sorry, but the report said there was a really strong cologne smell. It was so strong that it seemed like someone was trying to hide something.”My thoughts sped up. Cologne. Brittany. It all made sense suddenly, and I felt bad. “Rosina.” I said softly, the name tasting sour. “She's hiding Rosina.”George's jaw tensed, his eyes flashing with anger. “Brittany is helping her? That tricky...” He stopped, taking a deep breath. “Didn't you search the house carefully, Captain?”The Captain stood up straight, sounding a bit defensive. “Your Highness, I had my men search the house thoroughly, from top to bottom, twice. They didn’t find anyone else.”George laughed sharply, “Twice? And nothing? A woman doesn’t just disappear, Captain. Especially not someone as… noticeable as Rosina.” He walked away, pacing a bit.“Clearly, your men didn’t look hard enough. Keep searching. E
Brittany's POVWhen Rosina's head went into the dark cellar, I didn't wait. My hands shook a bit as I grabbed the old door and closed it fast. The noise was loud in the room, but I made myself stay still. I reached under the shelf nearby and got a small mat, then quickly put it over the hidden door, so it looked like part of the floor. I was breathing fast and could hear the sound of footsteps coming near.The smell. The smell! The soldiers' keen senses would catch Rosina's scent in seconds if I didn't act fast. I opened the kitchen cabinet and grabbed a small bottle of strong perfume - not the light, flowery kind I normally wear, but the thick, heavy kind that can fill a room. I opened it and sprayed a lot, almost using up the whole bottle in the small area. The air got thick with the strong smell, and I coughed, waving my hand in front of my face.Focus, Brittany. Get it together.I put the perfume down, took a deep breath, and walked to the door just as a loud knock came through it
CHAPTER 105Brittany's POVIt was almost dark. I wrapped my hands around the glass of whiskey, the yellow drink shining in the light. The drink hurt my throat as I drank it down, but I liked the feeling. It was better to feel this than to think about him again. Him—and her.George.And Wendy.I frowned, my fingers gripped the glass tightly as my heart pounded in my ears. That weak and timid woman had won George's heart years ago, and even when she left, she still had a hold on him. Nothing I did could change that. Not even my best efforts or my charm and ambition.That woman always messed up my life even when she wasn't around.If Wendy hadn't interfered, George would be with me. I was so close to getting what I wanted, I could almost feel it. But Wendy managed to ruin everything for me. Then, after she was gone for a while, she came back six years later as a powerful and secretive business leader. She was more powerful, smarter, and seemed impossible to beat.I disliked her even more
WENDY'S POV I knocked gently on the door but got no response. The second knock was louder and this time, a gruff, 'Come in,' sounded from the inside. I opened the door and stepped in. “This package—” Before the words could leave my mouth fully, I felt him pounce on me, dragging me towards the bed and trying to tear my clothes off at the same time. “What are you doing?! Let me go!” I struggled to pull myself free from him, but it was all in vain. His grip was too tight, holding me against him strongly. “Help!” I screamed, hoping, wishing, that anyone would hear me and come to my rescue. “Hel—!” He suddenly pressed his palm against my mouth, cutting the word shut. “Come on now, baby,” he said, breathing against my mouth as he shoved me to the bed. “Be calm and I promise to be gentle.” “Let me go! Get your hands off me! Let me go!” I yelled, pushing against him furiously, but instead of releasing me, he slobbered kisses all over my face and I felt as if a worm was craw...
