*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
Joan's PovI sat by the corner of the ceremonial hall, wanting to take a break. My back ached from the stressful work I've been doing since morning, I haven't even had my breakfast yet.Well, let's not talk about breakfast, I barely eat a day.I was made to starve, and if my duty isn't done before that time, I won't be having my meal for the day.It's been a year since I've been working my ass off in this mansion. Honestly, I still haven't gotten used to their silly rules.I watched the other maids scrub the floor, they'd then dry it with the dried rags. I wanted to remain in this same position for the rest of the day, or I'll probably be dead from tiredness."Joan," Silvia called, "Mrs Green is here." She announced and I quickly stood up from where I sat to continue scrubbing the floor.Mrs Green has been a pain in the ass, she never takes sorry for an answer. I've been trying to avoid her, but in so many ways I wish I knew, she keeps standing in my way, finding one reason or the oth
Joan's PovNight approached faster than expected. Some guests had begun to show up one after the other. I also saw Alpha Xender, a very good friend of my father back then. He was looking gorgeous and excited about the night, and I wondered within myself if he ever felt sad when he heard about my home.I doubt he did. The way he shook hands with Alpha Rex showed he never cared, because if he did cared, he wouldn't have given him those smiles."You brat, what are you doing here!" Mrs Green yanked at me. I felt her hand land roughly at my back. "Do you want those guests to see you appearing in this?" She said, pointing at the rag I was putting on. "Now get the hell out of here or I spank you again."I ran out of her sight. I hid myself under the staircase where no one could find me, especially Mrs Green. Then I heard Alpha Rex's voice, he was talking to a lady. Her voice sounded strange, I haven't heard it before.I stayed in the same position, not attempting to move or he finds out that
Joan's PovI froze under the voice of Alpha Rex. "Did he just call me mate?" I thought to myself. "Does it mean I am his mate?" When I turned to meet his gaze, he had a frown on his face. I was twice as shocked as he is.I couldn't believe any of these, plus the numerous eyes staring at us. "No, this is not possible. There must be a mistake somewhere. You're wrong, it can't be me. I can't be your mate." I said, shaking my head continuously as I stepped backwards from him."Look here, young lady, as much as you think this is a mistake, you better start accepting your reality. And bear in mind, none of this changes anything between us." He said as a matter of fact."You're lying!" I yelled. "This is all fake! I can't be your mate! I'd rather rot in hell than to accept you. I don't want…"He grabbed my hand tightly. "You better shut the fuck up and act for once." He growled, his voice low but hard. His gaze was piercing to the bones, and there was no single joy in the way he looked at m
Joan's PovThe dinner went successfully even though what happened there felt unrealistic to me. I hated myself for feeling that way towards him, I hated how my body kept responding to his touch. He had touched me twice to show his mother how true he was to have me, giving me those sweet romantic looks that almost made me think he was for real.He told me to go to his room and wait for him while he escorts his mother to her room. All that kept ringing in my mind is why exactly did he ask me to come here? To question me or yell at me for winning the poor old woman's heart?I stood in the same position until he finally showed up. Those romantic looks were gone, and I was staring at the ruthless Alpha Rex who has no single feeling for me."All thanks to you for winning her heart, yes, I really appreciate that. But don't take it too personally. She finds you quite interesting doesn't mean I do. It's two different things. So, if you still wanna live your life without crossing my path, then
Joan's POVI couldn't sleep, my eyes were opened with regrets boiling inside of me. How could I allow the Don of the man who had my entire family slaughtered to….My heart felt heavy, I felt like I had betrayed my family and all the people who died that horrible night….One look at Alpha Rex was looked as innocent as ever while sleeping, i wanted to grab a knife and stab it through his heart!What have I done? Joan, what have you done to yourself? Ypu made yourself so accessible and now this happened…I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration, weeping quietly. "You're such an idiot, Joan."I realized my hatred for him had gotten even worse. If only I stayed under the stairs and let Ms Green screaming my name till she passes out, none of these would have happened. How could forget what just happened? How could I have let everyone including myself down?And all for what?A mate that was never going to make me his Luna…I need to get the heck out of here!I have to walk
Joan's POVHer cottage is something out of a fairy tale and the perfect example of not judging a book by its cover.In contrast to its rough exterior, the interior looked like the walk room of a royal family.The couch looked like something made out of the finest timber and clothing. From the ceiling, hanging down is a lovely chandelier and the bookshelf on the wall held different books from across all packs."My son. He loves to read" I took another look at the countless books, just about what percentage of thus has he been able to read? From the furniture to the fittings, it looked way too pleasant for an average old woman."I have a son who thinks it's a wise decision to spend a lot of money to make this place look homely. It's looking like a guest house, not a family house" "It is…really beautiful ma'am" "Ms Anna is just fine!" She cautioned with a smile "And yes it is lovely. Not so lovely if you live alone" "Your son. He doesn't stay home?" "For his own saf
Alpha Rex's POV "What do you mean by she's gone?!" I yelled, asking my beta for some answers.Joan was in my bed the night before she went missing for almost a week and he has the guts to tell me she's missing."Alpha Rex, we've looked everywhere for her and no one seems to have seen her. Nor even the maids Alpha" "Your reply is not what I want to hear, Beta. Find. Her" He left immediately.Staring down at the paperwork I had to go through, a sigh of frustration escaped me. Why do I care where she was and why do I feel so unsettled knowing she might be missing? If made no sense to me! She's just a maid! /And your mate Rex, don't ever forget that!/ Aaron snapped, he was as irritated as I was about her absence."I am aware of my name Aaron! Where the hell has she gone? Who does she think she is sneaking out of my bed?" /You were never going to accept her as your name. What point was it for her to stay with you?/ Aaron was starting to frustrate me with his useless talks!

*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
