George's POV

"She's never coming back, you should know that." She said in anger, slamming the door shut as she left.

I shook my head, crouching down to pick up what I destroyed out of rage earlier.

I hated how things were happening around here, I wished they were better. Believe me, I have tried, and put in effort to see if things will improve, but still nothing, instead, it got worse. I wished I could run for the hills, but this was my father's sweat and hard work here. He didn't leave when things got hard, instead, he stayed and worked hard till things got better, leaving me this empire.

The door creaked open and this time, I turned sharply almost aiming the paperweight at whoever it was.

"Relax." The person said, closing the door behind her. It was my stepmother, coming in dressed in her regal attire. I looked closely and it was my mom's clothes. I clenched my fist, controlling the anger brewing within.

"What are you doing here, Rosina?" I asked, turning back to clearing the m

    Ch 15Brittany's POV. I ran out of George's office, tears streaming down my face. I wasn't watching my path and ended up bumping into someone. "Princess, you okay?" The person asked, helping me off the floor. Tears blurred my vision and I ended up hugging who it was."Oh..." He gasped, hugging me back. I leaned on him as I cried my frustration out. Why did it have to be her? I was never the option whenever my sister was involved. "Let it out." He muttered, patting my back. My sobbing increased and so did my hatred for Wendy. If she wasn't dead, I would take great pleasure in murdering her over again. It's been a while six years and he's still pining over her. Why couldn't he see I was deeply in love with him? I sobbed hard on the stranger's shoulder until I couldn't cry anymore. My eyes were all red and swollen. I pulled away when I started to feel hot. "I'm sorry." I apologized, wiping my eyes clean. The tears flowed again and I just let it go. "I'm sorry. " I apologize again,

    Queen Rosina's POV"Where are you going?" I asked. "To blow off some steam," she replied, walking out. Only the moon goddess knows what she meant by 'blowing off some steam'I was about to say something when the door shut close. I rubbed my forehead, my mind going back to the conversation I had with George. I got infuriated just by the thought. I should have killed him along with the bitch called Wendy. He was so lucky to have escaped death. What insolence, addressing me by my name and forgetting my title. I clenched my fist in anger. I should have taken precautions years ago and maybe Gerald, my son would be on the seat instead of him. He should guard it while he still can because it won't be long now before my plan is set in motion. I open the files placed on my table, about to go through them when I'm interrupted by a knock. I frown, staring at the door. Max, my guard would never knock twice, he was free to come in. When the person knocked, I cleared my throat "Come in." I sai

    George's POVFast forward to the day of the big reveal of Whitney Decodes. The past few days have been filled with Anticipation on who it was going to be. The Alphas won't stop talking about it during the last Alphas meeting. Surprisingly, Gerald and Queen Rosina were interested in her. It made me feel edgy and suspicious about them. I knew Queen Rosina was a fan from the beginning, but why Gerald? He hated her guts. I was nervous. It was happening today and I didn't know what to expect, no one knew. I was currently in my office, preparing and trying not to kill myself over Anxiety. I stood up walking around my office, bumping into a framed picture mistakenly. "Shit!" I muttered, picking it up. It was a picture of me and Wendy, the face had a crack in the middle, separating us. I felt a slight pain in my chest and I rubbed the spot. I still felt the bond between me and her. It was surprising that after 6 years, I could feel her emotions. It got me thinking, what if she was aliv

" Edward said, winking at me.I glared, furious at him. I needed something strong to calm the anxiety brewing within me and he just had to order water for me. Who does that?I opened my mouth to say something but decided against it. I should be angry at him, but in the long run, I guess I didn't have it in me. The waitress brought over the drinks and left. Edward chuckled as he moved the bottle of water to my side. I shook my head, taking a sip. I groaned as the chilling effect washed over me. I looked up to see Edward staring intently at me. "What?" I asked, taking another sip. "Isn't that better than any alcohol you could have taken?" He asked and I rolled my eyes. He was right, but I don't intend on telling him that. "I don't think so," I mumbled instead and he scoffed. "I know so."We chatted for a while, mainly catching up.

Believe me, being held up in the car for six hours straight was taking hold of me and I needed the walk to clear my head. I wouldn't want to be speaking the same language as my car when I was called up to say something. My assistant came with me and we stopped at a bar, where she decided to get water. "It's a bar, you sure they sell water? " I asked as we settled down. It's been a while, the city looked almost unfamiliar to me. I wouldn't know my way back to the palace if I wanted to.I shook my head, why was that the first location o thought of?"They should. It's a drink." She answered and I nodded, looking around.This was the city Hall, I remember frequenting here in the past, so why doesn't it feel familiar?"You keep looking around, Are you familiar with this place?" My assistant, Daven asked. "You

    Chapter 20Wendy's POVI stopped to take a breather when I turned around the corner and waited another twenty minutes before getting out of my wet clothes and walking to City Hall. It was time to teach once more that Wendy Whitney Decodes was here.I stopped at the door of the Hall and looked down at my own shadow. In a dark posture, I stood up straight, wearing tight jeans and a crop top, and I damn near glowed. The room quieted, turning their gaze toward the door. I took a single step, then a double, and finally, a third step, finding myself inside. The sound of my heels echoed.The elders gasped upon seeing me, but the sound of a particular person gasping stood out. I smiled slyly, seeing them both blank with shock as well as astonished."It's all falling into place, baby," Whitney screamed in my direction, and I laughed as my eyes blinked one more time.Rosina seemed ready to have a heart attack. George's mouth was still wide open. Edward jabbed at him now and again to get him goi

    Chapter 21Brittany’s POVThe ride to the inauguration ceremony was painfully silent. The low hum of the engine was the only sound that dared to fill the tense space between us. I glanced over at George, seated beside me, his eyes glued to his phone. His brows furrowed in concentration, his thumb scrolling steadily.I smiled softly, shifting closer to him. With deliberate ease, I brushed my fingers against his hand. Be subtle. Be patient. My voice came out light and playful. "There’s no reason we can’t act a little more like a couple in public, you know."No reaction.I held back a sigh, forcing myself to remain calm. Play the long game, Brittany. He’ll come around. He has to.As we approached the venue, I straightened my posture, every muscle in my body adjusting to project confidence and grace. I smoothed down the fabric of my dress, ensuring every fold hugged me perfectly. My movements were slow and deliberate, like a cat stretching before a hunt. This time, I crept closer to Georg

    Chapter 22 Brittany's POV The visage that had tormented me for six years was before me. It had inhabited my nightmares and infiltrated my conscious thoughts, propelling me to the brink of sanity. My breath caught in my throat, prompting me to take a hesitant step backward. No, it cannot be her. It must not be her. This has to be an illusion, an absurd impersonation. It simply has to be. I felt a tremor run through me as I sat, beads of sweat streaming down my forehead. I wiped them away with my hands, my breathing becoming increasingly irregular. How could Wendy possibly be alive? She could not be the notorious Whitney Decodes. There is no conceivable way that is true. While I recall Wendy's fondness for technology, who would have imagined that she had either perished or vanished, only to emerge as the most sought-after hacker? I observed the Alphas in the room, and all reflected a singular expression of admiration as if she were an invaluable treasure. At this moment, i

Whitney crouched a little, her hands clenched into fists. Her eyes, usually bright and warm, were now like cold, hard stones, showing danger.She looked ready to fight, to overcome anything in her way. This wasn’t the Wendy I knew... She seemed like a wild animal, trapped and ready to attack.The crowd, which had just been laughing and talking, quickly formed a wide circle around her with their faces showing fear and dark curiosity. They understood what a trapped wolf could do.“Whitney,“ I said softly, but my words broke the quiet. I moved closer, stretching out my hand. Not to hold her back, but to ask her.“Please. Don’t do this.“ I wasn’t telling her what to do like a ruler. This was a request from a man begging the only woman he had ever loved.I got to her and softly held her hand, my f

How bold this woman was! Her clothes were torn and dirty, and her hair was a mess. She looked so different from the fancy ballroom. This woman was like a monster, causing trouble, and she was targeting me with her anger.“Stay calm, Whitney, stay calm.” I told my wolf, a deep growl coming from inside me. Whitney was tense, ready to jump and attack this woman. I pushed back her anger and made myself feel icy calm. “Who are you?” I asked, my voice steady and surprisingly gentle.George stepped forward, his face filled with anger. “Who is this woman? How did she get in here?” His voice was quiet but full of rage. “Guards!” he shouted loudly in the hall. “What is going on here?”Two guards, looking very embarrassed, rushed over. They bowed deeply to George. “Your Majesty, we don’t know how she got in. We are ve

    George's POVI walked through the crowd at the royal ball, forcing a smile. Every polite nod and small talk felt like a burden. I kept looking at the grand entrance. I searched the faces, hoping to see her. Still nothing. The waiting was tense. Where was she? Would she even show up?Whitney. My Wendy. Even after all this time, just thinking of her made me feel a deep ache inside. I wanted her here tonight more than I wanted to breathe. The emptiness inside me wouldn’t go away until I saw her. I held back the urge to find her and ask her to come, and instead tried to seem like I was having fun at the party. I wanted her to come to me, to want to be with me.I noticed some movement out of the corner of my eye. I turned, my smile fading. It was Beta Edward. My jaw clenched. He was one of the last people I wanted to see. I had sent him on an important mission – to deliver a message to the Alphas of the North, a task that should have kept him busy for several weeks or more. Why was he back

He turned with his forehead wrinkled a bit. “What is it, Wendy?”I turned my head to the window, staring at the black car parked on the street. It was just sitting there, strange and scary, like a hunter waiting for its target. I didn't like it at all.Daven looked where I was staring with his eyes squinting at the car. For a moment, we both just stood there with our thoughts racing. Then, the engine roared to life. Before we could do anything, the black car took off quickly, kicking up dust and leaving a strange quiet behind.“Ugh Dame it!” Daven shouted while running out the door. He was quick but the car was already too far away.I went outside with him,. We stood on the porch, watching the red lights fade away until they disappeared into the growing dark.Daven faced me, looking upset and worried. “What was that, Wendy? Could it be...the Alpha King?”I shook my head. “No, George

I was so frustrated, like a pot ready to boil over. I turned around, my anger still buzzing inside me, and there she was – the maid, smiling like a bright morning, looking so happy in her job.“Welcome back, Miss Brittany.” she said cheerfully, her smile big and overly sweet.I scowled at her. Her happy face only made my anger worse. “Do something useful!” I shouted, my voice cutting like glass. “Just go! Do anything but stand there smiling like an idiot!”Her eyes grew big, and her smile faded. She didn't need to say anything else. She almost disappeared, her quiet footsteps hurrying down the hall, leaving me boiling in the loud, empty silence of my anger.Then, as she always did, my wolf, Sapphire spoke clearly in my head. “Brittany, what’s wrong? Don't tell me you're throwing tantrums because of George again.” she said softly, her vo

I stared at the man in my clean living room, a man who thought he could just show up in my life after six years. George, the Alpha King, was here, and I felt a familiar annoyance building in my chest.Daven, bless his tidy mind, didn't ask anything. He just nodded, his fingers already moving fast on his tablet, and headed for the door. “Sure thing, Ms. Decodes,” he said before vanishing.I walked across the room, the soft carpet quieting my steps, and paused a few feet away from him. “So.” I said, my voice showing some impatience, “What do you want now, Your Majesty? I doubt this is just a friendly visit.”He finally turned, his bright, familiar blue eyes looking around as if he were studying a strange painting. He didn’t reply immediately. There was a creepy calmness to how he moved, like a hunter checking out its target. Finally, hi

    Ch 46 George's POV I was contemplating what to do. It was a note and I could see writings on it. I frowned as I slowly opened it. The heading has got me reeling, I already knew that what happened six years ago was a plot, but this confirms everything. I sat on the couch in my office, going over everything. I've been looking for proof that she was Wendy, I guess this is it, but who could have left this here? I scanned the handwriting again and I couldn't remember seeing it anywhere. Hold on. I stood up walking to my table. I ransacked it, throwing most of the papers to the floor. I saw what I was looking for embedded in a file. I slowly opened it, praying it wasn't him. I matched the handwriting and it was the same thing. Why would Edward leave this here instead of telling me himself? I was still wondering why he didn't tell me when the door opened and in came him. I turned to stare at him, holding up the two papers. His eyes went from them to me. He stepped in fully, closing th

My heart raced, this was my favorite Chinese restaurant what had she come here to do? "Are you okay?" Alpha Leon asked beside me. I swallowed hard as I nodded my head. He had asked me out on a date and since I was free, I decided to take him on his offer not that I liked him or anything. "I'm okay," I muttered, my eyes not leaving Wendy. She looked well and unbothered and that angered me. Why does she look so peaceful? Why does she look like she got up from bed looking as beautiful as ever? Why does she not put any effort? I wake up and I have to put on layers and layers of makeup before I can look beautiful. I have to work my ass off to get the man while they run after her.

    Chapter 44 George's POV It's been over two weeks since the photoshoot and almost three since her return. She's bloomed so far, never dimming for once. Not a day goes by without her name trending online. I never miss her posts, being her number-one fan from the shadows. My obsession with her has gone beyond my control. I can't help it though. I've been thinking about the next move to make and I've not gotten one. Unlike online, offline has been a bit calm and quiet. It's weird and I've been edgy. Rosina is unusually quiet, I've been here, calmly waiting for her reaction. Nothing so far. Apart from where Gerald stormed in here requesting an explanation as to why I sacked his mother, there was nothing. Armstrong boomed, we were no longer sinking, instead, we've been on the rise and I know I have someone to thank for that. I handled the last business project better than they expected and they awarded us with a bonus. We are currently in search of the next and Edward had to make a trip
