Chapter 20Anabelle's PovI saw her stand there still, looking down in disappointment and raising her face in fear."Going somewhere?" I glared at her while speaking in a chilly tone. She struggled to say, "I never expected to encounter you here," in a voice full of shock and terror. She was still gasping for oxygen, and her eyes got bigger.She reached out to defend herself, her hand shaking as it went for something close. "I, my lady, I." The image of me behind her had taken her by surprise, leaving her unable to speak and frozen in terror. "You've got so much guts. Defense huh? You have no idea what you are getting yourself into. You are good as dead!" I stated in anger. The realization that she had been caught by surprise and had no means of escape intensified her terror, causing her entire body to shake uncontrollably. The gravity of the situation sank in as I taunted her with a sinister grin, my presence dominating the space between us like a foreboding specter. "Where do you
Chapter 21(Wolf Shade Pack) Mira’s PovI watched them pack up my things while in bed. The whole thing that happened in the dining room, played back in my head to the point I couldn’t tell the way forward anymore. I have long planned to escape from the whole mess I have gotten myself into but cannot in any way come up with an idea or a plan to help carry them out.“How much more will I continue to live with this hate of hers? How will I be able to live with this whole situation?" I wondered within thought. I had the feeling that finding a way to escape the whole situation would be necessary, but how to go about it is unknown. “Mira, you find yourself, day by day, falling in love with him, you can’t leave him, you can’t do anything!” A gentle voice said, ringing words in my head. I became convinced about how much I had fallen for Roland. The thought of leaving seems very odd and then, kinda foolish. I gave it a thought, knowing it was quite true. "If I don’t stay with him, I will f
Chapter 22Roland's Pov A loud, urgent knock at the door shattered the peaceful moment I was sharing with Mira. It was as if a crisis had erupted out of nowhere, demanding immediate attention. Mira's eyes widened in alarm, mirroring my own sense of unease. We both sprang out of bed, our movements tense and furtive, as though we were fugitives suddenly under pursuit. This unexpected disturbance had caught us completely off guard - nothing in my experience had prepared me for such an abrupt intrusion.As I hastily pulled on my pants, I reassured Mira and urged her to wait for me. "Just hold on here," I said, attempting to conceal my own apprehension as I made my way to the door. But Mira's expression betrayed her deep-seated fear as she clutched my arm, her eyes reflecting a strange mixture of anxiety and bewilderment.The sense of urgency in that unexpected knock left us both on edge, prompting a rush of adrenaline and a surge of questions in our minds. What could possibly have prompt
Mira's Pov I was worried about the situation, as I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss. Despite my efforts, I couldn't pinpoint exactly what was bothering me.Upon hearing the news from the pack concerning the missing staff, I became convinced that there was a problem.Taking a moment to collect myself, I pondered why I had been so anxious in the first place. Seeing Roland in such a state doesn't give me any ease. Perhaps it was just a momentary lapse in judgment or an overactive imagination. "Love at work" I said with a smile, cheering like I won a jackpot.Wanting his return,I looked out the door, hoping to see him come back. I had this feeling that the whole thing was going to bring chaos in the pack.Regardless of the reason, I couldn't deny the sense of relief and happiness that flooded through me knowing how much Roland wants me by his side. "You could help calm him Mira, just wait for his return, he'll be here" I said, with a look out the door. It served
Chapter 24Eliana's POV.My heart sank as his hurtful words echoed in my ears, leaving behind a lingering pain. It was unimaginable to think that my own brother would choose a stranger over me, someone he barely knew. The embarrassment of being dragged out into the open only added fuel to the fire of anger that was already burning inside me. Reluctantly, I followed him outside, hoping to at least hear his reasons for supporting Mira. "Just say it," I demanded, my voice laced with a mixture of frustration and paranoia. Deep down, I knew he would once again be on her side, defending her actions without considering the consequences.As he began to speak, his words only fueled my anger further. It seemed like every time she caused harm or pain, there was always an excuse to justify her actions. I couldn't understand why he couldn't see through her manipulative ways and stand by my side instead. The weight of betrayal hung heavy in the air as we stood there, exchanging heated words. The bo
Chapter 25Mira’s PovEverything appears so strange and funny to me; it was the least I would ever expect to happen, and the whole scene just seems so weird. I was left alone in the room, deliberating over things. "It was nothing but a set-up, Mira; you fell for it. Not everyone in the pack loves you; you just heard that from Eliana; it is a true fact," I said to myself in conviction while parading the place.Feeling tired and sad, my mind kept replaying the events of the day. I couldn't help but wonder why people would go to such lengths to deceive and manipulate others. It made me question the authenticity of every interaction I had ever had. The weight of these thoughts bore down heavily on me, making it difficult to see a way out of this web of deceit.As I sat there, thinking, a wave of realization washed over me. Perhaps this experience was meant to teach me a valuable lesson about trust and discernment. It's easy to be swayed by words and appearances, but true understanding com
Elianna's POVEach time I think about it, I clenched my fists tightly as anger coursed through my body. This wasn't what I expected, if I had known it was going to happen this way, I would have restructured before launching my plan. Face palming myself, I rested my back against the cold wall as I stared straight ahead as if there was something interesting there but instead, it was a hollow space with several doors lined up at both sides. Gripping my gown with both hands, I tried waddling away but my feet were too heavy and I couldn't move them. For the next few minutes, I remained where I was, allowing disappointment to wash through me. This was the least I had expected and I wish I could turn back the hand of the clock. “Dammit! How does she always get away with this?” I asked, biting my bottom lips. “It seems she always overhead my plan and acts before I could even move a limb.” I muttered, rolling my eyes to the back of my head. Shaking my head to the side, I dug my fingers i
Mira’s POVTwo weeks later…Light rays filtered into the room, causing me to squint. Covering my eyes with the back of my palm, I threw my leg off the bed and then groped my way into the bathroom to perform my morning routine. Several minutes later, I was back in the room and was standing behind my mirror as I did my hair. It was at this point that Elianna's image flashed before me and I let out a low sigh. This had been a routine for a while now and I must confess it was driving me insane. At first, I thought it was because I dwelled on the embarrassment and several other things she had caused me so I decided to let go of the grudges I had against her. After our last encounter, I haven't stepped out of my room for more than an hour each day. This I did because I didn't want to cross paths with her. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was always served in my room and I was going to maintain this routine until I was certain it was safe for me to step out once again. “Finally.” I sighed, p
Chapter 62Mira still had the silver dagger in her hands, she looked at her sister's body still trying to comprehend what had just happened. She moved backwards, sighing in relief. Finally it was over, she had avenged the pain and betrayal.The door opened and Alpha Roland walked into the room. He was covered in blood. He looked around the room, he was dumbfounded by the state she was in. He made his way towards her. He could tell she was lost in thoughts, the stain of blood he saw on the floor accelerated his heart beat. He became scared, what could have happened? Tracing the flow of blood, he called out to her. “Mira,”Mira turned towards him, letting go of the silver dagger she was holding, it fell to the floor creating a loud noise, she shivered. Looking at him, tears streamed down her face, she had mixed feelings of Joy, victory and pain.Alpha Roland trailer the blood down from where it was coming from and saw the lifeless body that had been constantly stabbed. He understood he
Chapter 61Alpha Roland's PovAs memories of my promise to Mira flooded my mind, a knot of anxiety tightened in my chest at the sight of my guards faltering in the challenge. Determination surged through me, an unwavering resolve that whispered, "I will not lose this battle, no matter the cost."I had vowed to return to Mira alive, to uphold my commitments without wavering. The thought of losing her, of relinquishing my mate and my throne, was unbearable. It fueled my every move, driving me to fight with an unyielding spirit, even if it meant giving my last breath. These were the two pillars of my existence, the forces that propelled me forward."For Mira and the pack, I must prevail," I declared, my voice resolute, as a surge of urgency coursed through my veins. There was no longer anything that could hold me back. I poured every ounce of my being into the battle, determined to claim victory. In that moment, I felt the presence of the moon goddess, her divine intervention necessary t
Chapter 60Alpha Lucas PovI had the feeling that the war was certainly in favour of me. I was pleased by how of Roland's men were being killed by mine."Mira, I will have you all to myself" I said within, maintaining a war smile. I could tell from Roland's actions that he was willing to do everything in his power to keep mira. This is something I also want. This was something I never expected. I had the thought of Roland giving in and letting me have mira. It's just that he has chosen to risk the lives of others inorder to secure Mira to himself. The fight continued with so much brutality and hatred. It seemed my men were feeling my pain to have unleased so much anger on them. I chuckled and stated; "How unruly of you Roland, take a look around, what do you see? I am taking the league. Give up now. Lives of people being taken, Let me have Mira and I will end this fight here and now" I ordered"Dream on Lucas, dream on!"He paid no attention to me but fight harder. It's obvious tha
Eliana's PovI made the decision to leave because I couldn't stand being around Mira and the others in the pack anymore. I needed some time alone to think and come up with a plan that would work for me. The thought of facing loneliness scared me, and I realized I had never felt loved in the pack mansion.When I saw Mira's bitter reaction, I knew it wasn't safe for me to stay any longer. Roland no longer trusted me, and it seemed like Mira had learned to stand up for herself. I didn't feel safe being around her anymore.I had ventured into the forest and walked quite a distance, about a mile away from the pack. The sounds of wolves howling and screeching filled the air as darkness began to fall.I wasn't a fan of the dark, even though I enjoyed it when I was with the pack. I whispered to myself, "Oh moon goddess, protect us."I could sense the impending disaster that would befall the pack, and it worried me. I couldn't help but think about how much we had gone through without the moon
Chapter 58Eliana's PovNever before had I felt such overwhelming fear. It consumed me, overshadowing any previous anxieties I had experienced. Regret flooded my being, a feeling I had never encountered until now. As the war escalated, my heart ached for Roland, despite my confidence in his abilities. I couldn't help but feel remorse for my actions, as this outcome was not what I had envisioned. I blamed myself for conspiring and orchestrating the plans that led us here. If only I had known that Roland would choose war over surrendering Mira, I would have devised a different strategy.My heart weighed heavy, as if it were being pierced by countless spears. The pain was unbearable, and I found myself restless and unable to control my anguish. Fears consumed me as I pondered the possibility of something going wrong. What if Roland suffered instead of Mira? How could I ever forgive myself? Trembling, I contemplated the consequences of my actions, knowing that I could easily become ensnar
The Wolfshade PackAlpha Roland's PovDespite the calmness of the night, she seemed unable to sleep, her grip on my hand tight as she lay down. It was clear that her mind was still filled with worries."Don't worry, everything will be fine," I reassured her, running my fingers through her hair to provide some comfort.She let out a calm sigh, as if finding relief from her concerns. It was better for her to let go of her worries rather than hold onto them.Holding her in my arms, I tried to help her fall asleep by cuddling her. However, she kept tossing and turning, making it difficult for me to rest.I wished with all my heart that I could make everything better for her, ease her mind, and help her sleep without any worries."Mira," I called out.She seemed to be somewhat asleep, finding solace in my presence. It brought me great joy to know that she was finding some relief from her worries.I couldn't understand why, but I found myself putting in more effort to make her feel better.
The Night Bloom PackAlpha Luca's PovI stormed into the grand pack mansion, my screams and screeches echoing through the halls like a madman. My mind was spinning, unable to find a clear path forward. I had done everything in my power to persuade Mira to be my Luna, but she remained oblivious to my intentions. Regret gnawed at me for the mistakes I had made in the past. My insatiable desires had led me down a destructive path, and the anger within me was relentless.I couldn't blame Mira for the chaos that has consumed us now. I had put her through hell, and yet her love for me had been the purest and most deserving I had ever received. But I had foolishly taken it for granted, consumed by my own selfish desires. The rejection I felt from her had ignited a jealous fire within me, envying Roland for the attention he received. My visit to the Wolfshade Pack had taken an unexpected turn, straying far from my original plan. All I wanted was to bring Mira back with me."Fetch me some bot
Chapter 55Mira's POVI returned to my room, seeking solace and a quiet space to contemplate my plans for revenge. The whole situation had left me furious and unable to concentrate.I scoffed in amusement. The fact that Alpha Lucas was coming back for me was both surprising and amusing. It felt like a dream that, despite everything he had done, he still had the audacity to show up and claim any connection to me. Fate was certainly playing games with me.As usual, I tried to remain calm by watching the clouds, which had lost their brightness, indicating that it was getting dark. The night felt never-ending, as my worries prevented me from finding rest. Restlessly, I paced back and forth in my room."It seems like it was a bad idea all along," I muttered. The reason for being in my room felt unfulfilled. The sound of crickets outside only added to my irritation, so I quickly closed the doors and windows."Perfect!" I exclaimed with a smile. The environment became more comfortable, provi
Mira's PovA wave of despair crashed over me when I discovered that Lucas and Roland shared the same blood. The past replayed in my mind, tormenting me with the realization that my fate had betrayed me."Why did it have to be you two?" I whispered, my gaze fixed on Alpha Roland. The weight of my mistake settled heavily on my chest, drowning me in shame. I couldn't bear to face the Alpha, knowing I had become the object of a fierce rivalry between twins."Mira, you seem troubled. What's wrong?" Alpha Roland's concerned voice broke through my thoughts. He could sense the shift in my mood—the sudden change in the air. I felt burdened by the fact that he remained oblivious to the truth, despite my attempts to explain my past. I knew I had to reveal the real reason behind Lucas's unexpected return and claim against me.My heart raced, anticipating his response and fearing his reaction once he knew everything."Mira, you're lost in your thoughts again. Is everything alright? Why do you look
