Joan's pov"No Rex leave from here it's a trap" I yelled struggling in the hold of the guards, Gwen smiled wickedly as she took a gun approaching him."I came alone just like you wanted, here's your money, let her go" he declared, placing the bag forward."You're no fun straight to business already" she started enjoying every single bit of this."Rex leave she's not going to let you go" I pleaded, their hold on my arm strengthened the more I moved."I'm not leaving here without you Joan!" Rex promised warming my heart. "No-" "Shut up!" Gwen yelled interrupting me."I don't want any more work this ain't no movie the hero isn't saving the heroine, I am not the villain here but if I am then this will movie is a tragedy""You got what you wanted Gwen I'm with the money let Joan go you can take me instead""That wasn't the deal Rex" she nodded towards one of her men then he walked towards Rex taking the bag from his hands."Now lets have some fun Rex since both of you are so in love you
Rex's pov"Joan!" I yelled in agony rushing to her side as she slipped to the ground."No please baby don't leave me" I pleaded, holding her face in my hands. She was unconscious.Inspecting her bullet wound she was losing a lot of blood, vastly I tugged off my shit applying pressure on her wound."Alpha" Tyler called out behind me."Call an ambulance, no get a car, they'll take longer to get here hurry!" I ordered my focus fixed on Joan.I heard his rushed footsteps signifying his leave."Joan please don't leave me I won't be able to bear it" I pleaded disheartened. Watching the color leave from her face, her once rosy cheeks turned pale.We were so close, I had saved her in a split second. It all changed."Tyler!" I yelled out, we don't have time, I had to get her to the hospital.Gently I carried her off the ground bridal style walking towards the exit when I noticed blood on the ground where Gwen stood but her body wasn't there.Had she escaped?Pushing that at the back of my mind
Rex's POV"Excuse me?" I inquired, finally looking towards Tyler."I tried to tell him to reschedule the meeting that this wasn't a good time but he replied that the pack house was under attack" I looked back at Joan kissing her hand then gently dropped it on her belly.Then I walked to Tyler, my head spinning, I couldn't leave Joan but I couldn't neglect my duties as the Alpha."Get trustee guards. I want them outside her room door and the hospital. If I leave, I want to return to see Joan the same way I left her, do you understand?""Yes alpha you don't have to worry handle this business I'll make sure she's taken care of" I trusted Tyler so I nodded."The keys to the car" he tossed it to me glancing one last time at Joan I left the room then to the exit where the car had been parked in the right spot.Before heading directly to the pack I stopped by a gadget store then got a phone I downloaded my important information from my iCloud.The pack house was in chaos, everything was disor
Joan's pov"Poor thing, the Alpha seems very fond of her too bad it's going to die"My ear twitched as I began to regain consciousness."All because she isn't able to bear a child anymore, that's ironic" another voice chirped in. Gently raising my eyelids, I narrowed my eyes trying to adjust to the light.My head buzzed a bit then the last memory I could remember replayed in my mind."I told you I won't let you go this time"Bang! And then everything went black.When Gwen had shot me."At least she got to be close to him, when he ends things with her I'll be sure to show him I'm interested"They have been mumbling for a while, subconsciously I could hear their voices but I couldn't make out what they were talking about."The Alpha interested in you? Oh please he'll surely find someone young to ensure she can give birth""What are you trying to say that I'm not young?""I'm saying you shouldn't be delusional the Alpha hasn't said he was going to get rid of her yet, he could still keep
Joan's povRex helped me to the car."Easy does it" he whispered, helping me into the passenger's seat.He then took his place in the driver's seat then smiled at me. I returned it sadly then he started the ignition.As he drove carefully down the road his phone buzzed."Tyler," he answered."Yeah I found her, call off the search party, we're heading back to the pack she's going to heal at home with me by her side" the call went on for a few seconds then he ended it."Remember when you said you felt there was a spy giving information to the enemy" he brought up the conversation, his face shifting from the road then back to me."Yeah" I muttered, also remembering he had yelled at me."Do you have any idea who the spy is?" My aunt. I suspected her but I didn't have enough evidence to back up my assumptions.I might be wrong and just blaming her,"No" I responded looking out the window."It's fine okay love" he spoke gently I nodded still looking out the window.He then held my hand as
Joan's POV"Where did you go sweetheart?" Rex asked as I returned to my room.Trailing my aunt to find enough evidence to convict her I wanted to say but instead I said,"Just a walk the room got boring without you" I smiled at him then he pulled me closer."Don't you have anything to do, Alpha?" I teased trying to push away from his stronghold."Yes I do" he leaned over then nibbled on my neck, the skin flared to life as I melted in his embrace."Right by your side is where… I... belong" he said, trailing kisses down my neckline."What do you say I make you dinner?"You trying to burn down the pack?" I laughed out, he rolled his eyes, biting my nose."Now that's a challenge, you rest here while I get your dinner prepared""No Rex you don't have to go to all that trouble I'll tell someone to do it for you""No I insist since you doubt my cooking skills""I don't doubt them you just don't have any" I couldn't contain my laugh as he stared at me with a pout."Oh I'll get you for this" K
Rex's POV Joan looked at the video stunned."No that is not what it looks like" she responded denying the accusations."Are you trying to say you're not the one in the video?" Elder Leo asked."No I am but it was a mistake I didn't know Joreme was there last night"It was taken last night when she told me she went for a stroll. I knew something wasn't right but I was certain Joan was no traitor."Yes it is a bloody coincidence that Joreme was inside the pack and you happened to show up in the forest at late hours huh?" He urged with a frown.Joan nodded vigorously,"No... I... This " she stuttered, rubbing her temples, she looked tense trying to find the words."Arrest her" Elder Leo proceeded but I stood in front of her and the guards."You lay a hand on my wife and I'll make you never use that hand again" I threatened and they stepped back not daring to challenge my authority."I was with her last night. I told her to take a walk since she was uneasy so it's possible she encountere
Joan's pov The guards led me down the stairs to the underground tunnels where the dungeons were.I didn't fight them anymore Rex had promised me to get me out of here, he had saved me severely so I trusted him with my life.The stench was vile and irritating. I felt nauseous but tried to keep it down.It would only be for a little while I tried convincing myself as the hinges creaked of the rusted gates as they were pulled open.I stepped in and they closed the bars leaving me with a brick slab for bed and a tiny container that felt horrible to look out.I sat on the slab running my hands through my hair.I was reckless and stupid and it landed me in here, if only I had confided in Rex earlier he would have sent a guard to follow my aunt.But I was certain he would still find a way to get me out of here he promised me.Rex wasn't going to break his promise. He loved me as much as I loved him. I trust our love will get me out of here.Taking a deep breath I leaned on the wall overthin
*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
