I walked down the halls to the meeting hall, where Kora informed me Raymond and his daughter were waiting for me. As I walked, my mind was occupied with my prior meeting with Nex and Drake. Not only did it seem as though I had lost my mate’s trust even more, but even my half-brother. Our relationshi
“F-Father, don’t tell him all of that!” Raiha said, her face turning red as she smacked the Alpha on the shoulder.I was no fool to how she felt. Growing up with her, Raiha was pretty much an open book to me like Kora was. Sad to say, though, I only saw her as I see Kora.“As much as I appreciate he
Nex’s POV“Life as a maid here is that good?”“Yep. The workload is a little harder than any other work I’ve done in the Redwood Pack, but the pay and benefits here are worth it. In fact, I feel lucky to be accepted here.”I was intrigued by the information Lorelei told me, about her life as one of
***Thankfully, being the daughter of a Beta and the werewolf once expected to be an Alpha’s Luna, I had pretty much already learned the basic etiquette back in the Downfall Pack. It didn’t take long for me to pass every test Sarah had for me to be in my new uniform.Now hired as a maid, I stood bef
“You can’t just keep defending, Nex,” Raiha told me, fists up and ready to punch. “A cute girl like you has to learn how to land a hit and weave in order to properly defend yourself. What will you do if some rogue wolf comes after you while you’re out in the woods all alone?”“Right, Lady Raiha.” I
‘Is my wolf really in love with him that much?’ I could only assume.“I-In any case, I shouldn’t keep him waiting any longer. I will see you later,” I said with a bow, taking my leave.I truly do hope I could tell her the truth eventually.***Raiha’s POVNex was a good girl. Being with her the whol
Nex’s POVI couldn’t believe the Lycan King. It didn’t matter if he was king; how could he be so selfish as to do this to the person he was engaged with? To the person who truly loved him. I wanted to berate him for his selfishness, but I was a bit scared of what would happen if I did, given how ang
I had mixed feelings about that part of the confession, though my wolf certainly has become taken to the last part of his claim, making me blush from the slight urge I suddenly got.“Y-You do know what that sounded like, right, my king? Especially between us, like this…” I asked, trailing off as I c
“Nex… I have something to confess to you,” he said, raising more of my confusion, which then turned to fear. Did something happen while I was away for two years? Beowulf licked his lips for a moment, moisturizing them with his saliva, before continuing to speak. “I… In these past two years, I couldn
Nex’s POVWith the interrogation done, Helio and I made our way back to Beowulf and Helix, holding hands as we walked. The questions weren’t so difficult; just asking about how I was treated, what was Helio’s connection with the mafia and his life there, and what our connection was. All I was worrie
“If you can believe that, then yes.” I grew even more lost by the response, in which she seemed to have noticed. “Beowulf, a lot has happened in this kingdom while we were gone. One of them being Drake and Garon’s… relationship. So to say.”“How do you mean?” I questioned.“Well… They’re close, you
Nex’s POVI wasn’t sure what happened or why… One moment, Zeke appeared with Helix in his hold, threatening to take his life. The next we knew, he killed Raiha, and gave her as much comfort as he could in her passing. “Mom!” I was snapped out of my stupor upon hearing Helix call for me, as I turned
“Dad is already on his way to Mom, isn’t he? If they see him with me, they will think that mafia leader won. Even the leader will think that, if she is that crazy for revenge. And she will definitely try something horrible to Mom and Dad, without having to worry about what they will do. If he brings
Zeke’s POVHow do I feel about what just happened? About what I just did. I doubt it would be pride; what was there to be prideful about in this situation?I was just standing in the woods, with a gun in my hand, and one of my target in my other hand. One look at the situation before me- of Raiha co
“You already had a destined mate. Only you used him as a tool he wasn’t. Took advantage of his love for you,” I pointed out, causing her to flinch at the reminder. “As if that wasn’t enough, you tried to kill a fellow werewolf just to get what you want. You let your own father- a respectable Alpha-
Beowulf’s POVAfter I briefly met with the captain and told him that I knew where Raiha went, I left the matter of the hideout to him and his team, who arrived not long after we did. At first, he tried to either get me to stay or join me to get Raiha, but I managed to convince him otherwise. Tell hi
At first I wasn’t able to process the words that came out of her mouth. Not with the pain I was experiencing. However, slowly, I caught on to the meaning behind it, and looked up at her. “W-Wait… You promised… you wouldn’t hurt them!” I managed to shout.“Only so long as you be live feed for the bra
