Alpha Miles POVIt was my wedding day with Kenzie.I was all shades of happy.Coupled with the fact that I got Brian’s father exactly where I wanted him.Everything was panning out according to the script.And just like that, I got Brian’s father in court for trying to harm my baby and wife.With Kenzie’s help, she delivered the letter written in Brian’s father’s blood. And the rest took care of itself from there.The law guiding the New Crystal pack was not too friendly.Though I hate to do this to Brian, the law demanded he be sentenced to life imprisonment.Brian was back home in no time. Only that he had not shown up at my doorstep. Ditto for me. I needed to give him space coupled with embarrassing jail time I offered his dad.I don’t care if at this point, he was angry with me.I did it for his good.That manipulative father of his was going to keep pushing him around till he couldn’t recognise himself anymore.I knew he would come to understand my intent soon enough.As for Ambr
Alpha Miles POV“It’s your wedding day else I’d have punched you in the face.” Came Brian’s curt response. His face moulded into a mean shape.“Bro, I did this for you. For me. He tried to harm Zara.”“Life imprisonment was the best you could do?” He almost shouted at me.“Your father left him no choice. According to the law – the wage of poisoning an infant is death. But your cousin was merciful to grant him a life sentence.” Kenzie explained.I could feel Brian’s pain. He didn’t know where to direct his anger. The anger he had towards his father.Since his father was locked up, he blamed himself partly. And the rest of the blame was directed at me.“Do you think I was too stubborn? Maybe I could have at least participated in the Alpha competition for my father’s sake. And he wouldn’t have tried to kill your baby.”His voice was cracking up like he was about to cry.“Don’t do that Brian. You’ve done enough for that old man you call your father. Ever since you were born, you did every
Alpha Miles POV Zara’s sudden unwarranted death was causing a bit of a commotion. I wasn’t ready to relay the news to her father just yet. Rather I racked my brain on who the culprit could be. “Was that urushiol for real?” Everyone seemed to believe it except me because I witnessed her sudden death. In confirmation, I asked the doctor one more time even though he had made the pronouncement that she was dead from such medicine. “Never been so sure.” “Who could it be?” I thought to myself. I needed someone to help me out on this case. All I could think of was the man whose father I had imprisoned for life. No other than my cousin Brian. He used to work as an informant in the Buyong Agency before his father forced him to leave. I’ve never needed to use his services. But I witnessed firsthand how good he was. Perhaps his strategies were made for such a time as this. I dismissed the doctor and hesitated to send for Brian. The reason was clear. He was still angry with me about his
Alpha Miles POV“You dare to imprison people like Brian’s father. So why can’t I imprison someone with death? My reason is justifiable.” Kenzie showed no remorse concerning what she did.The silk gift was laced with poison. Urushiol with lilac fragrance gives a slow unnoticeable death.I clapped her in awe. “You planned this out so well. How clever?! So, no what has changed?! How could you take a life like Zara’s? She was nice to you!” My voice was laced with dismay. “You are not the Kenzie I know.”“That’s right. Everything changed when you decided to consider marrying me as a concubine.”“Is this your way of supporting your fated mate? Are you trying to get in my way of having an heir?”“We can adopt, Miles!”“We know better than that. The pack doesn’t crown an adopted heir. Such a son will only be good for family keep.”“We can fight the odds! Even Selene is changing the world by pronouncing an Alpha female ruler.”“That’s different, Kenzie.”“That’s the least price I can pay for c
“You are something. You eliminated Brian’s father. And waited two years to do so to cut off any suspicion.” Kenzie analysed. She was right.“Slow and steady wins the race.”“I’m right. That was your plan! Brian’s father dying in the hands of a psychedelic – that was you.”“We are even now. You killed my Luna. And I killed my most cherished cousin’s father. I won’t blame you anymore. We are both despicable. Fated to be together indeed.”“Lovely. I won’t blame you either.” She bent to whisper in my ear, kissing my biscuit bone to seal her promise.Having no choice back then, he was released as Kenzie had said.But I had made up my mind to go the extra mile.Brian’s father was one core enemy of mine.And unfortunately, his disease didn’t start encroaching on Brian and me until now.All this while, we have gotten along even with his ill-fated father.I guess the tables turned with the appearance of my maternal uncle and a hidden truth somewhere. The truth about his lineage having the righ
Priestess Alora’s POV “I’m surprised you would come looking for me.” It was Justin at my door. “It’s been how many years now?” He asked me. Uninvited, he took a seat and looked at me like a new treasure. “I miss you, Alora. I miss us. I regret what I did to you. I was immature then.” “Are you here to give me an explanation for everything? It’s too late now. We have no business with each other. The baby whom your fated mate delivered has come to bear witness.” “Right. My emerald daughter is the child of prophecy.” “I guess some good came out of your loose loins.” I was disgusted at him. He made it sound like his cheating brought about some good to my demerit. “I didn’t mean to sound that way, Alora.” “Of course, you never mean anything you do.” “Alora, I know you resent me…” “Priestess Alora!” I was on the verge of screaming at him. He said my name so fondly. He didn’t deserve to see me let alone call my name causally. “It’s Priestess Alora.” It was high time I corrected him. F
Priestess Alora’s POVWhile I was still thinking about past deeds and scary scenes, I lost track of time.With my back still turned against him, I turned back immediately only to bump into him.I had not noticed when he walked up to me. Right behind me.I almost lost my stance. And he held me from falling.But I still fell. Into his arms.I had forgotten what his arms felt like.He gazed into my eyes and I felt chills down my spine.I was feeling funny. Buried feelings resurrected and I knew we were both going to throw caution to the wind if we kept staring into each other’s eyes. Eyes that held bittersweet memories.With his gentle touch on my shoulder, I felt the pang of not being with a man for so many years. He was the last man I was with before he ditched me.Unlike me, he never had to spend the night alone.As for me, I never found my fated mate.“I’m sorry to have left you all by yourself. How lonely you must have felt.” He held my chin warmly and I couldn’t stop him. I wanted
Alpha Miles POV“Babe, what’s wrong? You look tensed.”“I’m glad you noticed. Because you have been pretending to play blind since I came back from the pack meeting!”“Stop taking it out on me! What happened at the pack meeting?”“For how long will Alpha Jerry continue to torment me?! His daughter’s body is not cold yet and he is hinting I marry another woman.” I blurted out.“Hmm. I see now. From one frying pan to another. One thing I know – you can marry another to calm his outrage, at least before we can get rid of him.”“Marry another? Did you just agree to me marrying another woman so easily?!”“Stop the dramatic display. Zara was different. I already promised not to repeat patterns. I will be accepting my co-wife this time.”“Is this what you have to say?!”“Also, don’t even think of having an heir when Alpha Jerry is still alive. Once you have an heir, he will kill you and rule in the baby’s stead.”“You act so sure.”“Alpha Jerry is simple and vain. He wears his heart on his s
