WRITER'S POV WESTWOOD PACK“You think you did the right thing?” Jaxon, the Gamma asked. Lucius scoffed and took another sip of wine. Deep within him, he wasn't feeling alright selling off his mate to Damian of all people but who cares, he won. He did not just win, he won Damian. “What do you mean if he did the right thing? That bitch does not deserve to be here. Our warriors are still with us. No more war and that bastard Damian is off our hair. What better bargain could be out there?” Tommy shot at Jaxon. Lucius stood up, ignoring the two rambling men. “Send in the seer.”The seer of the Pack was brought in a couple of minutes after. Right from the moment she entered, her face was crumpled and she was grunting. “I found my mate and I stopped the war. Now I need something else.. Damian's throne,” Lucius began. The seer scoffed and struck her stick on the ground with anger. “I told you to find your mate, not sell her!”Lucius frowned. “What difference does it make? I found her an
WRITER'S POVNelo casted another disgruntled look at the bed. She was seated on the small and only stool in the room. It was the bed she shared with Amaya. Now she has it all by herself. Normally she should be happy. She had wished for it but why did it annoy her now. She may have gotten the bed all to herself but she was certain she may never get to rise high in rank again in the quarters. The girls were still attached to Amaya and they saw her as a bitch now. Her eyes darted to the small clock on the table. For some annoying reason, the time was unusually slow that evening and it made her impatient. She left the stool and dragged herself to the bed. Once the time beeped 10:00 pm on the dot, she got up from the bed and peeped through the window. It was already dark and she expected everyone to have gone to bed but there were still some girls hanging around. Knowing she could not leave with them still outside, she waited. Half an hour later, the compound was completely empty and qui
AMAYA'S POV “Where am I?” As soon as my eyes opened, the musky scent of improperly dried wood hit my nostrils forcing me fully awake. I was in a strange room and everything in it was unfamiliar. The room was jam-packed with all sorts of things and the bedding I lay was so thin I could feel the hard wood hard poke my back. Midway into trying to recall how I came to be there and I felt my head ache badly. I tried to slowly get up but the bed made a sharp creaking noise that forced me to halt. The curtain drew open and a woman I did not recognize entered. “You are awake. Praise the goddess,” she flashed me a smile and without saying another word she turned. Facing the exit, she called out “she's awake” and almost at the same time, Damian walked in. I froze and wished the room would cave in for me to fall into. Expecting to see the scowl on his face but got a soft smile instead. “How are you feeling?” he came by my side and asked, shocking me further. I blinked and the thick saliva
WRITER'S POV WESTWOOD PACK ROSE BUCKS10:30 PMNelo glanced at herself in the mirror for the umpteenth time. She was dressed in a red dress and for the first time in a while she felt she cleaned up real good. But all for what?At the gate that night at Tommy's house, he had specifically told her to come in a red dress. She hissed with Irritation. If he wasn't a Beta, then she would have been forced to classify him as a psychopath. She was irritated but she had to do what she had to do. Staying back in the servants quarters was no longer an option. The spiteful looks the girls give her was enough. Her only card of finding a better life lies with the bastard, Tommy. The taxi stopped her in front of Rose bucks. She arranged her scarf on her head before proceeding into the place. Rose bucks was a famous spot for prostitution. Married men take in sluts and single men pay young girls to be fuccked. “You are here,” Tommy acknowledged with a lustful stare down her body the moment she step
WRITER'S POV CRAVEN PACK It had been exactly five days since Amaya's escape failed. She still didn't know if she was to feel relieved yet. Damian hadn't brought up the room nor punished her for trying to escape. She, in fact, hadn't seen much of him since then and heck she wanted it that way.Laura was on her tail almost every single second of the day. Although she pretended to keep her distance but each time Amaya checked it was obvious she was watching her. The only times she got to be free from her watchful eyes was during the nights and early mornings. Amaya felt very restricted. She sat in the huge house all day long doing nothing. She had no friends and missed Nelo and Selene so much. At least back at the servants house, she did chores, sneak to the training ground and played with the girls but there was nothing fun to do. Most importantly she was going crazy not visiting a training center. Since she couldn't ask anyone, she decided to find out where the training center was o
AMAYA’S POVHUNTING DAY IN CRAVEN PACK Maybe it was because I was excited but I barely slept the previous night. I kept turning and rolling on the bed until it was 3am when I sprung up and began to prepare. By the time I stepped outside to the point of gathering, a lot of people were already there and the place was booming. I guess I wasn't the only one excited. I felt Lyra’s eyes on me. For some reason, I had this strange feeling she was watching me. Last night I was surprised when Laura told me I had a prominent guest. Knowing I knew no one in Craven Pack, let alone someone prominent, I had reluctantly left to see this guest of mine only to meet a sophisticated lady. She had scanned me weirdly. “Hi, I'm Lyra Cartwright although I'd prefer you call me Lyra. I heard you are Damian's guest.” Her lips curled and I had heard her mutter some words under her breath which I didn't grab. But I wasn't stupid. I didn't need to hear to know what she must have said. “Well, I guess we will b
AMAYA'S POV “Deer!”We were already deep into the forest when I heard the sudden shrill and I ran towards the direction I heard the scream. To my greatest surprise it turned out to be Lyra. It wasn't just her but also the Beta and Gamma; Raze and Oliver. There was no deer in sight and they had a mischievous grin on. Sensing that I had just been played, my teeth clenched. I wiped the sweat dripping down my forehead and suppressed a hiss. Their stupid joke had made me run for nothing. I turned towards them really trying my best to hold back my anger. “There's no deer.”“Oh, my bad. We thought there was a deer,” Lyra smirked. To me, I thought it was maybe understandable why Lyra was acting like a bitch but Raze and Oliver? I just couldn't understand why they hated me for no reason. Ever since I came here, they would always sneer at my face and ignored me. And honestly I would prefer they'd rather keep sneering and ignoring than to find my trouble. "Well, next time make sure to be cert
WRITER'S POV “We are sad to see you leave. We will forever remember and miss you here,” Instructor Matt said. His eyes were warm and he sounded sad. But none of the emotions he showed mattered to Nelo. Instead she scoffed under her breath at his sudden act of care. “And remember you are always free to come back. This is your home and you will always be welcomed here,” he added and Nelo resisted the urge to slam back with‘goddess forbid’ out loud. She murmured a barely audible ‘thank you’. “You still refuse a proper farewell?” instructor Matt asked again. Usually it was announced in front of the girls if any one of them became free but Nelo had to beg him to not do it. The girls already hated her. She would prefer to just leave quietly without having to see their betrayal faces. The only person she probably would feel guilt for not telling that she was leaving was Selene. Talks about Amaya were bound to pop up and she wanted to avoid that. “No. I would like to leave now.”“I hope y
AMAYA’S POV Damian liked Nelo? He not only liked her but actually confessed his feelings? I had expected all things but that was never in the list. What then was all the heart racing my heart did and what was with the love vibes and soft gazes he was giving me when he already liked someone else? Most of all, why did he want Nelo gone if he liked her? Why did my wolf lept before? So many questions rang in my head. I was going to ask Nelo if she was Damian’s mate but she reminded me Nelly was waiting and I shouldn't keep her waiting lest she bitch me more. “I still have things to ask you. Now I'm really curious,” I said weakly getting to my feet. Nelo's answers left me more confused than I was. Or perhaps it was just my heart refusing to accept the truth. I sighed as I walked up the mini stairs towards the balcony. “You took your sweet time.” As soon as I arrived, Nelly uttered. I looked at her ready to unleash bile but instead chose to be the bigger person and exhaled instead. “Why
AMAYA'S POV Nelo was allowed to stay. On a stupid condition, which I wasn't intending to keep. She was very happy when I told her and thankfully she didn't suspect there was a condition attached to it. She surprised me when she hugged me really hard and I couldn't breathe properly. When I finally managed to pull away, she was giggling. Another surprise. Nelo and I have been friends for a long time, alright. But I never really remembered seeing her this excited. Was she that excited to stay with me?Unlike her, our friend, Selene, was more social and if Selene was the one hugging me this tight and giggling hard, it wouldn't be so hard to believe because that was who she was. I missed Selene. Funny how I remembered everything about her but not what happened the last months. I sighed and shook my head. This wasn't the time for sentimental feelings. “So tell me everything. How I came to be in this Pack and about…those two men earlier.”“Those two men?” Nelo’s head tilted at me. “What
“Will you really keep her here?” Nelly demanded from Damian when Amaya was gone. “You can't possibly be serious. Not after her confession!”“Calm down, Nelly.” Damian told her, his mind replaying the conversation he just had with Amaya. Or simply put, the way his heart was beating rapidly during the time she was really close to him. He used to think he was tough and would never be under the effect of a woman. But Amaya kept proving him wrong. Right from the moment he saw her at Westwood. She'd looked young and without fear yet vulnerable. If she hadn't jumped back when she did, he would have likely taken her in his arms and kissed her. Yes. That was how badly he'd missed her. “Calm down? Am I the only one that sees the absurdity of it?” Nelly continued to ramble. At a point, she saw that Damian was not paying attention. “Alpha Damian!”“Fuck, Nelly!” Damian groaned. He really did not want to show his ugly side to Nelly again. But she was making it difficult for him. “Are you the Alp
AMAYA'S POV When I recovered, I decided to unravel everything. And there was only one way to do that. “She is not leaving,” I blurted. All eyes turned on me. It wasn't just because Nelo was my best friend and practically the only face I remembered vividly, I needed to know more. These contrasting feelings and these two men…what exactly they meant to me and which of them I had chosen as my mate and why. There was so much I needed to know and it was only Nelo that would tell me.The Alpha stepped back. He must have noticed his closeness was choking. “Amaya,” he called me. His voice was soft and husky. So much it made my heart ache. “She can't stay,” he said glancing towards Nelo. “Why can't she stay? She is my best friend and I heard we have been staying here together,” I protested. “Yes, that is true but she can't stay anymore.”“Why?”Again he glanced at Nelo and back at me. He sighed. “I have my reasons.”I tried to not be upset. But it was frustrating. He wanted her gone yet re
AMAYA'S POV I was tired of lying in bed all day long practically doing nothing ever since I opened my eyes. My body felt strange. When I saw the nurses work, it felt like I was supposed to be busy like them, like I was supposed to be doing something. They were in my room checking on me almost every minute. As if I was some fragile thing that would die or experience something life threatening if they left me for too long. It didn't make sense to me. I was usually the one worried sick about things and not the other way around. At least that was the feeling my body gave me. I waited until they were distracted before I snuck out. Outside, the lavender scent and fresh air, free from herbs and modern medicine drifted into my nostrils. I gladly inhaled them. Far much better than what I had been perceiving.Everywhere looked familiar yet didn't register anything in my brain. It was as though I had seen this place, even lived in it but at the same time my brain provided no information about
Tommy grimaced. His right hand was on the steering and the other one, he lifted. His collar suddenly felt too tight. Narrowly. Very narrowly he'd missed being caught. At this point, it was fair to say the goddess was on his side. Just before he could hit the dial button, Luman had called. It was perfect timing. He didn't need to do anything. Once he'd picked, Luman had called to ask if he arrived at the Silver Moon Pack safely with Balus. He grinned inside as he saw how Kael and Blackridge exchanged shocking looks. He'd even asked him if Balus had called him as he'd turned around to return after he received an urgent message from one of the elders to meet him at a place Balus did not mention. When Luman said he hadn't seen or received a message from Balus ever since they both left to meet Kael and Blackridge, it further solidified his claim that they were indeed coming to silver pack and that Balus was completely aware. However, he told him to not worry as Balus would most probably
In a flash, Nelo slipped out of her captor's grip and dashed. She charged black into the room where Damian and Lucius were. Damian spun. At the sight of Nelo, his jaw bones tightened. He looked past her at the same time to see the guards supposed to be leading her away rushing back in. He resisted the urge to slam at them. What was he paying them for if they couldn't even handle one woman? “Please, let me stay here only until after Amaya recovers… please…” Nelo pleaded, evading the guards that are chasing her now from gripping her. She rushed over to Lucius. “You know I did everything because you asked me to. Help me, please…”Lucius clenched. He'd learned deeper about Nelo from Jaxon. Jaxon had secretly kept tabs on Tommy and had discovered what Tommy was doing. He looked at Nelo, his eyes shifting from cold to pity. “I know Tommy used you. You were always working for Tommy…”Nelo's eyes widened. “But you have to stop now. It's enough.” Tommy finished. “Take her away!” Damian com
Nelo sank to her knees.“I apologize, my Apha! I'm so sorry…it was never intentional…”she begged profusely. Her sins had caught up with her at the moment she least expected. Damian kept a straight face. People like Nelo disgusted him. They pretended to care about you but wouldn't think twice before stabbing you on the back. Now he understood why a part of him resisted her stay. “Just bear it in mind. I'm letting you leave here alive because of Amaya. Never return to this Pack.”Nelo sobbed. “Are you banishing me? You know how much Amaya loves me. She would wake up and find me—”“Are you threatening me?”“No…I'm just–”“Get her out of my sight.”“Please! Please let me explain…I was made to do it!” She yelled as the guards dragged her away. “Wait!” Nelly marched through the split guards. She arrived in front of Nelo and landed a resounding slap on her face. Twice. “Bitch. You are disgusting. You deserve to die. Damian should have killed you.” At the same time, Lucius and Jaxon were bei
Lucius breezed into the ward totally ignoring one of the nurses trying to stop him. He halted the moment his eyes spotted Amaya on the bed. As if she perceived his presence, her eyes flickered open. “Hey,” he called softly as he approached her bed. Amaya blinked. Was this another man she was supposed to recognize? Lucius slowly drew closer. “Do I know you?” Amaya’s voice came. Lucius gulped. So hard he thought his chest would explode. He had been informed of Amaya's selective memory loss but witnessing it was more difficult. He'd inwardly stabbed himself several times for not confessing to her earlier. He failed her in many ways. It was his fault Tommy hurt her and he would never forgive himself for it. He took the seat beside her bed. She was watching him, more like observing him. And right there he felt his heart shatter several times. He was hoping to have a fresh start with her after confessing. But now, it seemed almost impossible. He was never going to deceive her again. H
