Swara’s POV“How was training today?” Alpha Reon asked over the phone. He finally found time to call me back in the evening.“I wouldn’t want to talk about it. Did you go through such weird training too?” I was too embarrassed to talk about it.“No, I didn’t. Given the fact that my wolf was never weak. But I’m aware of the kind of training that goes on in SWAT.”“So, you should know what happened today then.”“Yeah. Olivia filled me in. I knew you wouldn’t give me the gist.”“Where are you now?”“At the brothel.”“Why the brothel?” I found myself asking even before I could stop myself.“The brothel is a good place to get information and hide.”He was helping to find my father, so I can’t complain much.“You sound like a wife who had caught her husband cheating. Are you jealous?” He teased.He was right. I was curious. Not jealous though.“It’s up to you to do business at the brothel.”“No, I’m still keeping my promise to you. Especially after what you witnessed today.”I kept mute.“I
Swara’s POV …Witnessing how close the edge of the blade was to my eyes. I kept screaming. And she kept screaming too. Screaming for me to shut up. Her wolf was surely bigger and stronger than mine. Seeing her transform made me give up. How she buckled my legs with her weight made it impossible for me to transform as well. Even if I did, what boredom of weakness. “Wait! Why must you kill me? Do you want Alpha Reon too? You can have him!” She took a pause. But I dare not lose my guard. I was scared to heaven. Then she laughed. “I’m not Clara. Her obsession is laughable. I’m just doing my assignment. Time to cut you off the earth so they can be happy.” “Who are the they?” She didn’t answer but wrestled my grip against hers. So, she could plunge in the dagger. I couldn’t die now. My will stood strong. I needed to live a bit longer to know what it would feel like to gain a bit of wolf strength. To be able to hold my head high and not fear getting laughed at. Right now, I didn’t
Swara’s POV “…she was hellbent on Alpha marrying her because of the baby. He intended to take care of the child as the father. Not to wed her as a wife. In a bid to quarrel, she escalated the matter and pretended to have miscarried.” Clara paused then continued. “Alpha was no fool. He pretended to play along and got the doctor to carry out a simple blood test on her. Such a test revealed her womb was empty. Lena was smart until then. Alpha Reon got furious and broke off their situation. He went as far as demoting her. Then one night she crept into his bed. And he loved her enough to promote her again. After that night, he never called her again. Lena read in between the lines. Moreso she was contented to work as a high-ranking maid. At least that’s what I thought until she had eyes for another.” I swore Alpha was bewitched. When he could have locked her behind bars as a hostage, he chose to forgive and keep her close. Didn’t he fear for his life? I learnt from Clara that Lena came f
Though I needed a good night's rest against tomorrow’s training, I needed to unburden the restless bugging at my heart. Immediately, springing up from bed as soon as I got in, I summoned Jolie. My mother had mentioned her when she was alive. Though I was just 4, I could still remember the words she told me. “Find Jolie and you will find your father?” Was that a good or bad thing? At least, it felt safe. Jolie couldn’t harbour evil intentions towards me like Lena. Even if she wanted to, she needed to know I was Ambrose’s daughter. And I needed to dig out some answers from her surrounding my mother’s death. I was going to kill two birds with a stone. How splendid. I placed an intercom for Jolie and she came without mincing words. I searched her face for any displeasure in calling this late. But she maintained a petite face. “Sorry, I’m disturbing you this late. But something is bothering me.” “No problem, My lady.” “Do you remember any woman by the name Ambrose?” By now she w
Swara’s POV I managed to sleep despite the difficulty attached to it. What I had seen registered in my subconscious even after a short night's sleep. I snapped at the guts of Saloni sending me sex videos of Bram and herself. For a brief moment, I wasn’t even angry. To hell with her. To hell with both of them. They could be fucking like rabbits and living amicably for all I care. I’ve been too bothered about Bram. About Saloni. I needed to focus on myself. The training with Olivia. Especially now I was going to live at the temple. Thank goddess that will be a good distraction. After hearing I’d be constricted to a strict diet at the temple; it didn’t seem like such a bad idea. Perhaps constriction in my diet will help my mind to be in a more disciplined state. Not submitting to emotions at random or letting people get to me. I was eternally grateful I had a chance to live again. A chance to find my father, especially with Jolie and Alpha Reon at my side. At the thought of him,
Saloni’s POVI didn’t let Bram get out of my sight. It was our honeymoon. The beginning of many good things to come. Just as I have been determined to get Bram in the end, I was determined to keep him. It came with a lot of sacrifice. Like offering him the Lycan position on a platter of gold when it could have been handed to me.Many times, I’ve spoken to my dad about being the she-Lycan.That’s the only thing he didn’t agree with me on.Deep down, I knew he didn’t deem me fit for the role since I wasn’t a man. I felt hurt. My father, though he loved me, had always placed an embargo on how far I could go in my military career.He took into consideration I was a woman. Married woman. With the home front and future pups to cater for.Even though I had told him I was capable of leading a battalion of soldiers; my father would never agree for me to take the lead. Yes, he was proud of his warrior Luna daughter. But not as proud as he would have been if I were a man.Seems a little unfair,
Swara’s POV“I can see you’re not bent on getting revenge. Why is that? Do you still believe he can ever come to love you like Saloni? Your birth circumstances won’t spring such hope.” Olivia spoke in all honesty.It was my second day of training. A kind of training I had not expected. More like a therapy session.We were even served ginger tea and biscuits. Olivia made me feel comfortable. With the warm treatment. Trying to make me open up. I didn’t know what or why exactly.“I can’t dare dream of revenge when my wolf is not up to par.” It was the truth.“That’s where you are wrong. I dare say that to make your wolf come out stronger, you need to harbour revenge. Revenge is a strong energy force that can burst open the streams of qi energy within you.”“I’m not the revenge type. I feel that someone else is meant to fight my battles. I just need to find him.”“Who do you want to find?”“My real father. The ex-con. I believe he can defend me against the attacks of Alpha Miles.”“Alpha
Alpha Reon’s POV Since I got to New Moon, I’ve been staying at the brothel. Dressed like a eunuch. Such a sharp contrast, but more in a bid to disguise myself from the prying eyes of my enemies. That was my hideout – the eunuch role plays and the brothel. If Alpha Miles ever knew I was here, he’d create a pretence show of welcoming me. I’ve been in my room strategizing like it was war. I needed to find Swara’s father. I had no doubt he would be alive. Ex-cons do not die easily. “Still deep in thoughts.” Beta Finn came in. “We’ve been in this brothel for days. Haven’t stepped out much or done any serious investigations. What’s the plan, Alpha? First time you will be leaving me in the dark.” “You need to be in the dark for this plan to work.” “Okay. At least you could tell me why you summoned Kenzie here?” “Shush! She could be here any minute. Lay low.” “Why are you going to such great lengths to help Swara?”“That’s because she is my second mate. I should love her as much as Jud
