REX’S POVYou know that kind of a particular hazy memory you have of something, the kind you cannot clearly remember but you knew definitely was there. That was exactly the kind of memory I had about the piece of jewellery.I recognised it, I have ever seen it but where? With who? I can’t remember so I had to deal with two pairs of eyes staring at me expectedly waiting for an answer while I stared at the necklace in my hands. “Where? Your highness?” Tyler asked, probably thinking I might have zoned out whereas I was deeply in thought as to where I had seen the necklace before or perhaps with whom I have seen it. But my hazy memories of it refused to clear up and I was forced to give up and answer his question.“I can’t really remember where exactly but I am sure I would. I just needed time to think about it” I replied, tugging the necklace away so we would continue with the discussion.Tyler said, the two unknown men where chased down by the guards but when they entered into the fore
JOREME’S POVI gazed intensively at the red liquid that splashed on my hand, as if my heated glare will wipe it away. With a thud, the owner of the blood drop on the hard floor of my room, the red liquid oozing and coating around him. He stumble about for a bit and finally stopped moving, resting dead on the pool of his own blood.My head turned away from him slowly to glanced at the other guard, who by now, was grumbling with fear and begging for mercy. I smirked inwardly. Should he have known how I operated, he would have never wasted his time to to beg. To think I will offer any form of mercy? Ridiculous. With me, you get what you deserve. They have been working under me for centuries, I was actually hurt they have not realised that till date.“Your majesty, show mercy! I will do all I can to get back the girl. I assure you” he pleaded, going down on his knees and hanging his head low.“I gave you one instruction. A single instruction. Do not allow yourself to be caught or seen. Do
JEROME’S POV“Yes your majesty, you called” a guard who just angered my room bowed deeply.“Go get the old lady” I lazily uttered and recognition flickered in his eyes as he knew who I was referring to.“Should I bring her in here or should I take her to the usual meeting spot?” He asked still bowing.“Bring her here” I replied and he was out of the room in a jiffy.She have been for long now requesting to have an audience with me but I have been declining but I think it’s high time I hear what she had to say seeing as I would need every bit of information I could gather just to be at the top and successful get what I wanted.Now that I think my hidden agenda had been blown open to my enemies, I needed to be more strategic than I use to and I have to Apple more of brain rather than strength. What I needed now is be one step ahead of him.I sipped on the chilled wine in my hand, going through the numerous folders on the desk in front of me. There was already so much in my table to deal
JEROME’S POVI was taken aback by the words that came out of the messenger’s mouth. A latter from the blood moon park. Really? Well that’s sooner than I initially expected but I will have to move with the flow of the rhythm. With Rex I should expect the worst case.I snatched the letter away from the messenger and within seconds, he was moving out of the room fast, closing the door behind him. I, in my thought expected to see a long detailed write up of how he was going to repay every single bit of damage I had inflicted in his park but I was hit by shock yet again when I saw the content of the letter.“Be warned!” And that’s it. Just a two words sentence, nothing more and nothing less. I turned the back of the paper to see if I might have missed the real message but it was empty. I opened my mouth to call for the guard who brought in the message thinking he might have misplaced some part of it but close my mouth back up cause the letter was sealed and stamped, there was no way anyth
JOAN’S POVHours have turned into days and days into weeks. Alpha Rex was slowly but certainly getting back on his track. He would eat the food I served once in a while, go out and have a walk around the pack once in a while and will even engage in a conversation with me or anyone when the need arise. I was happy, I was happy to see that he was really picking up progress no matter how slow and I would always be with him each step of the way.He was really coming in terms with the dead of his beloved mother and with the fact that life have to go on even without her. A few days ago, he had made the hard but surely most due decision of having to let go of whatever was in the past, especially that which the dark stream pack was had caused. It was a really hard decision to conclude on. At first, Alpha Rex totally disagreed with that decision, claiming it was best if we declared war against them.But Tyler made him see reasons. Peace is always more convenient than violence. And at the stat
REX’S POVTrying not to dwell much on the topic of the attack, I tried to get the discussion to be about something else,taking into account the creation of the new market place which have been destroyed and putting more effort in training out guards to be more experience in the combat department. For centuries, there was no sign of war whatsoever so it will be understandable when very few among the guards are very skilful when it comes to handling of sword.But most of the council members are trying very hard to make my decision an impossible one. They just downright refused to drop the topic of the attack and wouldn’t trust in my words. I was frustrated but I totally understood that they were coming from a good place.I haven’t been myself for weeks and they have been handling almost all the affairs of the pack without finding out a single information about who was in charge of the attack. It’s understandable that they were finding it hard to believe me when I told them no one will a
REX’S POVMy first instinct was to protect her at any cause after everything that unfolded a few weeks ago. I dashed toward the door in alarm, turning the knot and shoving it upon with an equal amount of strength.I made a move to enter into the room but I froze at the sight before me. At that instead I realised I had made a huge mistake of not knocking at the door first. Joan stood frozen in front of the floor length mirror, clad in nothing but a piece of towel and another covering her hair. By all indications she had just had her bath and was getting ready for bed when I interrupted.“Uhh…… I thought, never mind” I stuttered. Any other person would have get out after saying that and close the door behind them but even after I uttered those words, I was still hanging by the door, my eyes never leaving her form even to blink.“Can I help you with something” she uttered after wearing off from her shock.“Actually….yes. I wanted a glass of water” I requested just to cover up and not ma
REX’S POVI told her everything. Every bit of thing that I have never told anyone, not even my mother. One single reassuring look at her I was pouring my hate out to her. It was surprising cause I never really did this with anyone, even my own mother had to press in multiple times before I tell her anything that was worrying me but here I was, telling my mate voluntary after just asking once.For years I have been battling in silence, not been able to sleep have really taken a toll on me than I care to admit. It have affected most part of my life. “And you made no attempt to correct that. Why?” Joan asked, her eyes solely focus on me, not wanting to miss any of my expression I guess.We have been deeply conversing for hours on end, with she asking most of the question while I answer them the best way I could without coming off as not enthusiastic. The night have long gone and we are roughly approaching the early hours of the morning. I was really tempted to tell her to go to bed but
*Rex's POV*I stared at the other person who appeared to be a man. He noticed I was curious about who he was and finally spoke up. “you don't remember me do you” He asked. It didn't take too much of thinking to realize who he was. He was the one who attempted to kill me at the Bridge. “So this is the one that really owns the baby. He's quite pathetic for someone with a child ” I said to Gwen.Martin fumed up. “Who are you calling a pathetic person. Do you have a death wish?. Even if you don't, I am finally going to make sure I kill you properly This time” He said and brought out his gun Wich he aimed at me again. I sighed and shook my head in disappointment. “So you're going to take the cowardice way out again. You are really pathetic, no doubt about that” I said mockingly. Martin paused for a while pondering on what to say. Gwen noticed what was going on and tried to stop him. “What are you doing Martin. Shoot him now and end this finally ” She said. Martin took a deep breath and
*Beta Ryder's POV*I have gotten the answer I've been searching for. There was finally enough evidence I could use this to get Joan out of prison. “Why did you get your hands on such dirty deeds when you also had your own child” i asked Collins who didn't say anything in return. I sighed and brought out my phone to stop recording the conversation. “What is your own aim trying to help your old lover. You must be after something too” Collins suddenly asked. I was shocked to see he knows about I and Joan too. He must know me from somewhere.He smirked when he saw the look on my face. “ You're shocked I know about that. You must not really remember who I am..” he said and chuckled. I could now remember who he was. Gwen and I had visited him long ago when we were still working together. “I don't care what you have to say now. I finally have what I've been searching for. There's nothing else to worry about anymore” I said and turned to leave. Collins quickly stopped me. “Where is my da
*Gwen's POV*I had returned back home from the inn and was heading to my room to grab a few things. Everything seemed to be finally over now and Everyone that could get in my way was out of the picture. Rex's mother won't pose a threath anymore as she'll only shed endless tears on her son's death. I reached my doorstep to see the door was slightly left open. “Huh, did I forget to shut this before leaving..” I thought to myself. I ignored it and pushed the door open. The sight I saw next made move back in shock. Rex was standing and holding something that I hadn't identified yet. “what is. Going on, am I seeing a ghost or just hallucinating?” I asked myself. Rex turned to me and I could see despise on his face. It was now I realized what he was holding. He had unfortunately found the File which had the real DNA test results. “Rex..are you okay” I asked softly. He turned to me and still wasn't saying anything. My whole body was quivering in fear as he moved closer to me. He threw t
*Gwen's POV*I was in a inn with my secret lover, Martin. after taking an excuse that I had some things to sought out, I had left my bay with Rex's mother. We had fun and was relaxing on the bed. “will things go on like this forever. You And I deserve to be with each other officially ” Martin stated. I rose up and stared at him. I asked him what he means. “Rex Is clearly in our way. We need to get rid of him first and then I can claim my rightful place by your side” He stated. He was right, Rex wasn't even the real father of our baby and if I let things stay like that forever, he might find out someday. But I was scared. After everything I've done. I am scared to harm another person. “I don't know if it's a good idea. He isn't one to go down easily. I've heard of how he defeated Alpha Jerome with ease. He's too strong to defy” I stated. “Do not worry about that. I will personally take care of Rex myself. With your approval ” Martin stated. I saw it as a good opportunity to finall
*Eleanor's POV*Beta Ryder had suddenly showed up again but this time, He came with a child. It was a little girl and it made no sense she was here with him. He seemed pretty determined to find an evidence but now, he's with a child. I turned to the little girl to ask who she was. “ I'm Nia, This Mister abducted me..Those are the answers to the questions you wanted to ask aren't they?” She asked. I Petrified by her boldness and the fact she said she was abducted scared me more.“Why did you abduct a girl and decided to bring her here. Do you want to get me in more troubles again!?” I yelled angrily. Ryder was scared to see me angry. He tried calming me down saying everything was going to be okay. “I went to the address you gave me and it turns out The person that sold the cake to Gwen is her father. Left with no choice, I had to abduct her. He has agreed to meet and I'll return the girl once we get what we're searching for” He said. I Finally calmed down. A way to avenge my friend
*Collins's POV*My heart almost flew out through my mouth when I heard my little girl's voice on the phone. It dawned on me when I realized that she had been abducted. “What I this, what do you think you're doing. Why did you abduct my daughter you Psychopath!” i Yelled angrily. “You left me with no choice Collins. We'll meet and you'll tell me everything I want to know or else..you know what will happen. And do not bother trying to contact the police, you'll regret doing so” The man stated. I was so frustrated with the way he was been so commanding. “ I'll give you Two hours to return my daughter. If you don't, I'll unleash hell on your feeble soul” I yelled angrily. He had already ended the call and I was just talking to myself the whole time. I threw the phone away angrily. “What does he want. Who in the world is this lowlife daring to disturb my peace!” I said angrily. “was he here to find out something about one of the people I've once worked for!?” I asked myself. It was the
*Beta Ryder's POV*I left back for my inn. The paper given to me by the maid had the name of a shop written on it. I wasn't sure it would be easy finding the shop but was sure I will after asking around. The shop was located a little far from the main town. I set out the next morning to find the shop. After driving to the address on the paper, I Reached there and the shop was no longer there. I already expected that too. That was why I knew this was going to be hardInstead of a cake shop, there was a different type of shop now. It was now a pawn shop. I decided to walk into the shop and ask the owner some few questions. Entering the shop, the first room was empty but there was another door. I walked to it and knocked. Footsteps approached the door and it finally swung open. “Come in. a man, that looked much older than me said ” I took a deep breath and walked in.He offered me a seat and I sat down. “So, how much are you loaning ” He asked as he brought out some papers for me to fi
Over 9 months had passed and Beta Ryder was still yet to find a way to get Joan out. He visited her frequently to make her feel reassured. *Beta Ryder's POV*It's been so long since I infiltrated Rex's house. I was never able to meet the maid again. She told me there was a way to find a tangible evidence but I couldn't get it from her before the guards drove me away. The security at his house was thightened after that time and it was almost impossible to get In. But still, I found my way In without been noticed. I came in as a delivery man and thankfully, they fell for it. I searched around for the maid but no one realized who I was talking about. After a long search, I asked one of the staffs about the night the house was infiltrated by a man and she told me the maid was fired that same night. For months, I have been waiting for a Moment to meet someone who wasn't where I thought they were!. I asked if she knows her whereabouts but she told me she doesn't know much anymore. I wa
A week later. Joan was taking to court where she was to be judged. The whole pack was present so as many other people from the town.The evidences were provided and the judge gave his judgement. Joan was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. The evidence provided is enough to proof she really did it and Joan could not provide anything to prove her innocence.Joan was taking away and locked behind bars. Gwen was so happy this finally happened. She could now claim her place in Rex's heart without having anyone ruin her sweet life. *Beta Ryder's POV*I had arrived in the town days ago to find Joan, my ex lover after my wife and I got divorced. My motive intially was to get married to her so I can become the new Alpha and take the pack from Joan's cousin. It all didn't look too good when I arrived and met Everything in a turmoil.
