[ALEC’s Point-of-View]I watched Irina lead the Alpha of the Blackwood to the receiving area of Ambrose Manor. Since the first time I saw Evander Edgerton, I knew within me that I didn’t like the guy. I hate that arrogant look in his eyes. The way he looked at everyone like they were insects in front of him. I couldn’t understand what made Evander different from me. We were just the same age. Came from a Clan of powerful werewolves and went into the same training under the most skilled fighters on this continent.I hated that power came from how vast your territory was and the Blackwood Pack has the largest part and biggest population in the continent. I had no idea how Evan could manage such huge responsibility but I still thought he was just an ordinary who just happened to be the son of a powerful and much wealthier Alpha.“Wait…” I uttered, getting Evan’s attention, “Did you just say that Holly is your mate?”“Yes. Is there a problem with that?” He asked so casually I wish I could
Poor Holly…I watched her take off her robe and dabbed wet cloth on her neck. She was panting, her breath formed white smoke as she exhaled. And I was really happy about the substance I put in her drink because it didn’t fail my plans.Holly would get what she really deserved and I would make sure of that.Down the hallway, I saw someone walking and was delighted to see Alec’s Beta, Robert Medford walking silently around the house, making sure he was always present whenever Alec needed him. Robert was only two years older than Alec and was still single in his early thirties. I thought he wasn’t that bad if I would set Holly up with that man.As bubbly as I could, I walked behind Robert and thought to startle him. But as expected for an Alpha's Beta, he immediately sensed my presence and I found it boring!“Lady Irina? What are you doing here? It’s almost midnight!” Robert asked with a casual look on his face, obvious that he wasn’t happy to see me alone with him in the hallway.I put
[EVAN’s Point-of-View]“I got a news, Alpha Evan.”I gestured for Kian to go ahead and say it.I was in one of the luxurious rooms in the Ambrose Manor and Apha Randalf made sure I was comfortable before he left me. The room was vast with elegant furniture and a magnificent view of the ocean which I enjoyed. Kian, on the other hand, stayed in a room, five doors from here. Ambrose Clan was known as superficial. They love wealth. And I could see it through their lavish lifestyle.“This is about the Snakewood Pack.”I froze. Frowned.“Most of the packs in the North have already signed the alliance except the Snakewood Pack,” Kian articulated, his voice soft but sharp. I remained looking at the ocean while he stood behind me, head bowed a little in courtesy.“Alpha Charlie Wakeham… he is getting more difficult these days,” I murmured. My face was hard and my eyes were dark.“I apologize, Sir. I did everything to convince the Snakewood Alpha but he remained stubborn.” I felt Kian’s frustra
Just like how I imagined it, her lips are so sweet, so soft…As if possessed by something, I kissed Holly back and ignored all the warning signs that appeared in my head. I didn’t care what was the reason why she went to my room. I didn’t care why she kissed me. What were her intentions were. All I knew was I wanted her. I wanted her so badly and it was my chance to feel her. To have my arms around her small, sexy body.Holly’s arms were wrapped around my neck and my hands went to her thighs, lifting her as she wrapped me in her legs without breaking our kiss. A moan escaped from her when I forced her mouth to open with my tongue and kissed her deeply, passionately. Hungry for her softness. Hungry for her taste.I tossed Holly on the king-sized bed and she bounced, her body squirming with wanting. I smelled her desire…her lust to be touched and that made me more aroused, my body reacting to that wild, sexy look on her face as she gazed at me with her sultry eyes half-opened.I climbed
[What are you doing, Evan? She’s already in front of you! You have your chance to be mated with her!]I ignored the furious voice that echoed in my head.[What if she wakes up and refuses you?! What will you do Evander?!][Shut up, Leo.] I hissed at my wolf, [I won’t do that when she’s like this. I am not that kind of person.][It is obvious that the Moon Goddess arranged this for you, Evan. For all the good things you did for the peace of all packs in this land. This woman is a gift! And you are just going to ignore it?]I hate it when Leo gets hot-headed when he is frustrated, [Not like this, Leo. I can’t do that to Holly.]Leo scowled and I saw his translucent image at the other side of the bathroom. Leo is a black wolf with crimson eyes glaring at me, [I don’t understand you sometimes, young man. You are known as the most ruthless Alpha on many battlefields in this land. And yet here you are, getting soft to a helpless girl who already threw herself to you.][She is not herself.]
[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]I wrapped and dried myself with a clean white towel while averting my eyes from Alpha Evan, too scared to look him in the eye.I was sitting on the edge of his King sized bed, in one of Dad’s luxurious extra bedrooms built for his special visitors who wanted to stay overnight in his Manor. Dad was a very proud man and all he wanted was to hear praises from his colleagues about what a wonderful and generous friend he was. And what Alpha Evan was using was the most expensive room in the Manor, more exquisite than my Dad’s own bedroom.That was how special Alpha Evander Edgerton was.And what I did was unforgivable.Of course, I lied to him. There was no way I would ever tell him I remembered everything about what happened between us last night. That every detail of it was vivid in my head. Every sensation, every touch of his lips on my skin.My face was red like a tomato. It was very embarrassing and not very me.I thank the Goddess and all my ancestors that this
What was happening?I followed Evans. I looked at his face first and saw him so annoyed by something he saw at the end of the hallways and that’s when I recognized it was Irina and Alec screaming at the top of their lungs at this fr**king early in the morning.“No! That’s so unacceptable Alec! I hate you!” Irina screamed, hitting Alec’s chest with the side of her fist, “I hate you! I hate you!”“Hey! Listen, Irina! What you are thinking is nonsense! I never loved that woman, you hear me?! Is rejecting her not enough?!”I almost grimaced. I felt like a cold knife pierced my heart and I was bleeding badly. Only it wasn’t blood that drenched me but tears as I fought hard not to run away and stay hidden behind Alpha Evan’s broad body. Frozen. Hurt.It was embarrassing that the whole household heard that they were arguing about me, and I wondered what Alpha Evan was thinking.“I don’t care, Alec! The fact that you are mated with that—with that—”My eyes widened when Alpha Evan stepped forw
“I have to go back to my room.”There was a hard expression on Alpha Evander’s face and I could tell he was not happy with what was happening in the household of the Ambroses, “Irina went to Dad’s office and I can’t—- I don’t want Dad to see me like this!”“Just like you told me, Holly,” his voice was husky, his eyes were sultry as he stared at me, “You are not yourself and your sister put something in the wine she offered you last night. I never mind whatever happened. I am just worried your sister would hurt you again once you go back to your room, unguarded.”My chest was heavy. The Alpha had a point. I didn’t know why Irina did that to me. Maybe she wanted to get rid of me so Dad’s attention would be hers again? Or Maybe she was so desperate and scared that Alpha Evans would insist on taking her as his bride? Because she thought I was still wolfless and Alpha Evan would reject me? And when that happened, Dad would have no choice but to give Irina to Alpha Evan.Irina was head over
