Alisha's POV
As I looked at the man standing before me, someone I had briefly met after the interview, my mind buzzed with surprise and puzzlement. "Gray?" I called out his name, unable to contain my astonishment.Gray nodded slightly, his eyes filled with concern as he asked, "Are you okay? Is the injury severe?"Lola's expression looked utterly surprised, as if she had never seen her Alpha speak so gently before. She exchanged glances with the other pack members, and they all seemed taken aback by Gray's unexpected behavior.Gray's question caught me off guard. When I had encountered Gray before, I had mistaken him for an ordinary human. But now, with the revelation that he was the Alpha of the Blood Dawn pack, responsible for guarding the perilous Dark Forest, my perception of him shifted entirely. The recent rogue attack flashed in my mind, and I trembled at the thought of the dangers he and his pack faced.Trying to regain my composure, I replied, "I feAlisha's POVMy heart raced, entangled in a web of conflicting emotions as Archie's manipulative tactics took hold. The conversation I had overheard between Joey and Evita earlier that night echoed persistently in my thoughts, adding weight to my growing concerns about Joey's mysterious solo trip into the foreboding Dark Forest. Though the true intentions behind his actions remained unknown, an important premonition warned me that he was entangled in something dangerous. Yet, before I had a chance to make it clear, I couldn't take the risk that Archie's impulsive nature might let Joey get alerted. For now, I had no other option but to feign compliance with Archie's demands, hoping that my facade would shield my loved grandma from harm.Suppressing my pride, I mustered a facade of compliance, trying to keep my voice steady, "Alright, Archie. Let's go back to Golden Crest together." Even as I uttered those words, my heart pounded with resolve, silently vowing to divorce this
Archie's POVHmph, absolutely! Alisha is just obsessed with money! I should have realized it sooner and simply used wealth to sway her to my side! Bad girl! She had time to linger with Louie and Gray, yet when I asked her to accompany me to the grand banquet hall, she refused without hesitation! Her audacity knows no bounds!If only I had offered her a hefty sum, perhaps a billion, and instructed her to cease all contact with Louie and Gray! Surely she would have complied, or maybe I should have gone as far as ten billion!"Bro, stop dawdling! If you wait for Louie and Gray to catch up, you'll regret it! Don't waste time; take Alisha inside now. There are plenty of people in there. Use this opportunity to show your love and concern for Alisha, and then maybe Alisha will forgive you," my wolf started to chatter."Huh! Who cares about her impression of me?" I replied with an air of indifference."Who was about to get into a fight with Louie and Gray in the treatment room just now? And
Alisha's POVI never expected that these she-wolves were actually discussing Archie, and to my surprise, they were talking about his performance in bed! Hahaha! Now it seemed that they all knew Archie was impotent! I had a strong suspicion that this news came from Blue Lake. Thanks to those two "gifts"-who had no manners and were so arrogant. Nevertheless, I had to admit, I was grateful for their loose tongues this time.It was such a big surprise to hear rumors about Archie's sexual abilities in this occasion. I couldn't help but chuckle secretly. Compared with Archie, who brought this upon himself by fooling around with Erma, I just told a little lie. What’s more, in the end, it was his mother, Stephenie, who was to blame. If she hadn't brought those she-wolves from Blue Lake to the Golden Crest, this rumor might never have spread in the first place. It was all interconnected, and I couldn't help but find some twisted amusement in the situation.I
Alisha's POVMy heart was racing as Archie's words hung in the air, and I felt a mix of shock and disbelief. How could he ask me to say such a private thing in front of all these people? The embarrassment washed over me like a tidal wave, leaving me flushed and speechless. And I could feel the weight of everyone's eyes on us. It was too humiliating.Archie, seemingly oblivious to my discomfort, held onto my waist affectionately and suddenly changed his tone, "My dear, you know the truth better than anyone else. Don't you want to help me prove it?"His words were laced with sweetness, but they made me feel more uneasy.. I couldn't understand what had gotten into Archie. Was he losing his mind due to the rumors? Why was he suddenly speaking so tenderly? It was unsettling, and I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that crept over me.I shot him a stern look, trying to have him stop making a scene. Especially with Louie and Gray watching us, I dreaded the weird impr
Alisha's POVArchie led me out of the grand banquet hall, and as we made our way through the bustling crowd, I could feel curious gazes following us. Brad and Suzy flanked us, their presence offering a semblance of security in the midst of the unfamiliar werewolf territory. The soft murmur of conversations and the clinking of glasses gradually faded as we stepped outside, the cool night air a stark contrast to the warmth of the festivities.Nestled in the car, I watched the world pass by through the window, my thoughts a whirlwind of emotions. The events of the evening had left me both puzzled and intrigued. Why had Archie chosen to say those words in front of the crowd? Was it because my response really have pleased him so much? Was he willing to publicly defend me as a gesture of gratitude? I pondered these questions, my mind a labyrinth of uncertainty.After all, he had confronted Erma with those words, infuriating her to the point where she might have wanted to tear me apart. Thin
Alisha's POVGray's voice, warm and concerned, flowed through the phone line. "Are you feeling any better?" His unexpected call made me surprised, momentarily stealing my words.After a brief pause, I replied, still processing the surprise. "Yes, I'm doing better now. Thank you for reaching out," my voice tinged with a mix of gratitude and curiosity. I really wondered how he get my number.His empathy was palpable as he continued, "I deeply regret the harm you suffered in the Dark Forest. Rogues rarely dare to venture out due to the protective measures we have in place—Seals and warrior patrols. Yet, with many of our members preoccupied by the ceremony last night, we might have faced a manpower shortage, failing to detect the rogue's departure promptly. As the Alpha, I should apologize for your bad experience in Blood Dawn."I assured him, "Please, Gray, don't blame yourself. Louie protected me, so there's no need to carry that burden. And I must extend my apologies for the chaos at y
Archie's POVObserving the genuine discomfort etched across Alisha's features as she reluctantly consumed the medicine in the video Mireya had forwarded, a twinge of discomfort tugged at my heart. I took a moment to ponder before initiating a private mindlink conversation with Brad, "I remember Alisha once expressed interest in a Porsche sports car, but she didn't buy it. After this meeting, prepare one for her."Then I switched to texting Alisha, aiming to convey my approval and encouragement. "Good, Alisha. I prepare a gift tonight."As I stared at my phone screen, three minutes s
Alisha's POVI regarded him with a furrowed brow, a mixture of curiosity and concern tugging at my features. "Go see Shaunda? Why so suddenly? Didn't we just visit her last month? Has something happened to her?" Despite the complexities of my feelings towards Archie, one constant remained—I owed his grandmother, Shaunda, a debt of gratitude. It was she who had chosen me as Archie's wife, providing the means to break free from Joey's control and securing better medical care for my own grandmother.Shaunda didn't live with us; she inhabited a tranquil island, seeking solitude and peace. Moreover, she rarely summoned us for visits. This unexpected request stirr
