JEROME”S POVGetting to know that she was the daughter of a man I so much despise before anyone else could was such a relief at the same time disturbing fact to me.It was a relief in the sense that only I get to tackle the issue without anyone getting in my way and it was disturbing in the sense that I just couldn’t help but think about how things might go wrong if I do not end up killing her.The decision was made already, she has a big secret that is going to get me in trouble with the council so to save myself of having to kill each and every member of the council for going against me when they found out, I had rather she took her damn secret to her grave.At first, I had planned to get her away from anyone’s suspicious eyes, maybe in the forest and killing her silently there but then I just couldn’t wait for the next day to come. I have this instinctive feeling that somehow in the long hours of the night she is going to find something out about her there father, or worst might th
JEROME”S POVI remembered vividly how I killed her father on a rainy night. The moon and star were hidden behind the thick cloud and the night was so dark you can’t make out your own hands. Darker than it was today,He was sitting in his library, not reading, not doing anything just seated, engulfed in darkness. He would go into his library to get things off his head. The park is in utter chaos and the troubles were beginning to get out of hand while he does nothing to stop them. Everyone knows how bad of a ruler he was. I would say he was too soft to be an Alpha so someone had step up the task, I had to step up the task. A lot of the council members would complain about how useless he was and how he doesn’t deserve to be ruling the kingdom so I saved us all the stress. Broke into the park house, into his library and slashed his throat silently in his sleep. He doesn’t know who killed him, he tried to at least a glimpse of his killer but his lungs betrayed him too and he collapsed
JOAN’S POVI knew something was off from the moment the guard led me to the garden instead of into the park house as I initially thought. Why would the Alpha want to see me in the garden on a chilly night? Doesn’t make a single sense to me but I brushed it off.Instead I focused my energy on getting the guard to speak up but so far, it was a failed attempt. The only time he spoke was when we were right in front of the Alpha when he curtly informed him of our arrival. I wondered if they were trained to be quiet all the time or something.I am a strong believer of my gut feeling, when my gut tells me something is wrong, I stood by it and at the end, it actually proved to be the right warning.Just like anytime, it was shouting inside my head to stay away from the Alpha, making me feel how bad of a person he was but is not like I have a choice for being here. I can’t possibly say no to him, so I stood there watching him from under my lashes.He waved the guard away thinking I wouldn’t n
JOAN’S POV“There she is” a random voice which I thought might be a guard shouted and soon there were numerous feet tapping behind me, running after me.I panicked and began to run even faster if that was possible, my breath coming out in pant, my legs yelling in protest for me to stop but my instinct to survive kept me going, because I knew the moment I allowed myself to stopped, that was the end for me. He was surely going to have me killed or worst kill me himself.I might not have much in life, I might not be some sort of rich folks that have life figured out already, I might be just a maid who’s life is filled with numerous and complex problems that would probably last me a life time but the desire to die had never crossed my mind and I refused to be killed by some low life Alpha who thoughts he could get whatever he wanted.With this new found determination, I fueled up my tired legs, letting sweat dripped down my face. I could tell they were catching up to me real quick, the ta
JOAN’S POV“Shhhhh” a voice said right next to my ear causing me to panicked.I yelled out just in time for his hands to be placed right in front of my mouth, causing my scream to came out muffled.With the zeal to escape no matter what, I used my legs to hit the man, he yelled out a small ouch, releasing me instantly. I took that opportunity and was about to get out and leave when his words stopped me.“I was only trying to help woman. There was no need for that kick” He exclaimed and I could here the pain in her voice, Very good no one messes with me and go Scot free.The voice thou, sound oddly familiar and I was sure I have heard it somewhere but for some reason I couldn’t pinpointed where exactly so I asked the most logical question anyone at my situation would.“Who are you?” My voice came out hoarsely from all the running I had been doing.He was quiet for a bit and I began to come more suspicious. He might be one of them just playing a game with me for all I care so I slowly
JOAN’S POVAlpha Rex. I couldn’t just wrapped by head around the fact that I was tightly stuck in place in Alpha Rex’s chest as he gradually shifted back deeper into the end of the little cave where he was standing earlier.“Alpha Rex” I murmured as quiet as I could trying not to alert the guards standing just outside the cave without a source of light, which then proves to me that they made the decision of just coming after me without going back to get a light source.The ruffled and mumbled not so silently between them, saying something about how they thought I was near and the rest should be quiet and how their Alpha was going to have their heads if they don’t focus and got me captured. I even overheard a guard still nagging about how he was going to murder me himself if they caught me, complaining about the raging pain from the bite I escaped him with. “It wasn’t that bad? Or was it?” I was sure if Alpha Rex wasn’t been so thoughtful and got me out of the opening, they would hav
JOAN’S POVI waited, for his gracious lips to find there way on mine, to feel the softness of his lips on mine but for a suspiciously long amount of seconds, they did not land.I waited some more but nothing came. Curiously, I peaked with my slowly opened eyes. An “oh” left my mouth when I was met with total darkness, which indicated that his eyes were back to their normal colour.I couldn’t stopped the sudden disappointment that sipped through my heart, causing me to awkwardly tried getting out of his grip, but he refused to let go.How he managed to get his wolf to calm down was beyond me but I decided not to dwell in the topic when there are numerous and far more important things to talk about, like what the hell was he doing in a rival park by this time of the night.I tried once more to get myself out of his hands and fortunately this time he got the idea and instantly let go causing me to stumbled back getting a grip of a near by wall to stop me from making a full of myself and
REX’S POVTwo weeks ago……I was on my way to meet my mother. She had been demanding I show up in her wing at my palace but I had done well in dodging her but today she got me cornered and there was no way I could possibly refused her invitation.I grunted frustratedly wanting nothing but to be over with this conversation even though we haven’t even began to discuss it. I know what she wanted to talk about and I had been dreading having the conversation with anyone let alone my persistent mother but I knew now that I had to face it.When I was right in front of her, the only thing separating us was the door to her room, I gathered all the breath I could, bracing myself for the worst to come, which I know would definitely will. Since Joan literally ran off to God knows where, my mother had been throwing hind here and there of wanting her back in the park. I had been ignoring and she was equally becoming just as desperate and now that she called me to meet her alone in her room, I knew
*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
