YARA’S POVAlpha Denver walked into his office first and I followed before I closed the door behind me. I walked to his table and I took a seat just as he was sitting on his chair too then we looked at each other and he began to laugh. What was so funny and why was he laughing? I eyed him suspiciously while he still laughed and he stopped when he saw I wouldn’t stop staring.“You called me when I was about to have my lunch so be quick with it,” I said to him and he shook his head.“You’re having lunch here in my office from now on” he replied and I didn’t know what to say at first. Why would he want me to be having lunch in his office from now on when he didn’t even want me in the same place with him in the beginning? I leaned toward him and I peered at him closely. I wanted to be sure he was fine in the head and was sure of what he was saying.“And why is that? Why do you suddenly want me to have lunch in your office from now on?” I asked him.“I heard about your fight with your team
YARA’S POVI was already tipsy once I was halfway through my second bottle and I was already swaying from side to side, trying to stay awake and finish the rest of the drink because the air was cool and the atmosphere felt nice. I didn’t want to return to my room yet. Alpha Denver hadn’t said a word to me yet ever since we started drinking and at first, the silence felt uncomfortable for me but with time, I didn’t mind anymore and I felt more relaxed. I was guessing it would be because of the drink.“So tell me, Yara. how did you meet your queen and why did she take you in?" Alpha Denver asked me and I turned to him. He had his eyes fixed on me as he leaned his chin on his hand and I mirrored his pose with a glint of mischief in my eyes.“Why do you suddenly want to know about me?” I asked him and he shrugged.“I don’t know. Probably to just get to know and understand you more” he replied and I sighed.I changed position and I almost fell forward but he was quick to grab me from my s
ALPHA DENVER’S POVI didn’t know what was happening to me as I began to drink with Yara outside the gym. I was the one who offered that we drink before we go to bed because strangely, I was hoping drinking together would make her less grumpy since she seemed like she was in a bad mood. I didn’t know why I noticed or why I even cared but I felt like I was the reason why she seemed so moody and I wanted to help. I really didn’t know why but I found myself wanting to. And so I did.One drink into the second and I felt my defenses slowly chipping away. I was still the one who started the conversation about wanting to know each other and when she told me all that I wanted to know about herself, probably more than what I even expected, I felt like I had to tell her mine too and when she asked, I felt seen. I hated feeling that way but it felt different with Yara, I liked that she asked me too and wanted to know about me. I liked that she didn’t see me as just the tyrant alpha who doesn’t t
YARA’S POVI walked fast back to my room and all I saw was red. I was fuming and I could fling anything at anyone that would attempt to speak to me at that moment.Freya had just been pretending. She was never genuine with how she was so friendly with me and cared for me. She made me think she was a friend. The only friend I had in this place but she was just working for Alpha Denver and was only putting up an act for me to believe in. I couldn’t believe I fell right into that and I was just finding out after so many months when all the time, I talked and laughed with Freya, she didn’t mean any of it. It was all a facade.I bumped into a maid and the basket she held fell to the floor. Clean towels poured out of the basket and they rolled away. I felt sorry and wanted to make it right so I began to pick them up one by one and when I was done, I apologized to her and was about to leave when I saw Freya standing before me and her face was filled with the want to be listened to. But I did
YARA’S POVI was ready to leave for the company along with Alpha Denver and Cillian as usual and I chose to not have breakfast that morning because I wasn’t in the mood to. I went downstairs and everyone was ready… including the guards that always followed closely behind Alpha Denver’s car all the time in a separate car of their own for security. I walked down the stairs that led to the entrance of the palace and I stopped right at the foot of the stairs when my eyes fell on Alpha Denver and I saw he was watching me too. He looked like he was waiting for me to get into the car with him. Well, that wasn’t happening. I tore my gaze from him and I walked towards the car with the guards. They all fell silent once they saw me and I forced a smile on my face because they were my only chance of going to the company without getting in the same car with Alpha Denver. I really didn’t want to be in such an enclosed space with him.“Good morning guys. You still got space for one in your car?”
YARA’S POV“You’re going to help by being a distraction for me. You’ll try to divert the new owner’s attention while I take the key to the bike and I’ll let you know once I’m done retrieving the bike too” his words kept on ringing in my head as we drove to the company. And even after we arrived at the company and we got down from the car, it still played in my head nonstop.Alpha Denver was telling me to be a distraction for him to retrieve his bike from its new owner and I was no novice, I knew exactly what he was talking about and I certainly knew that I couldn’t do it. I had never tried that and I was sure that I wouldn’t be able to go through with it.I couldn’t even wear a dress and look pretty to save my life so why did he think I would be able to do it for him? A man that I so dearly wanted to kill for wiping my family off the face of this realm.I scoffed to myself as I sat in his office on the desk that had already been assembled in his office for me. I could feel his eyes se
ALPHA DENVER’S POVThe first thing I did once we got to the palace and got out of the car was to let Yara know that we were only having a light dinner due to the plan we had to see through later that night and I could still remember the frown on her face when I told her that and how she grudgingly nodded, telling me she understood before she walked into the palace, leaving me behind.Then I went into the palace after her and another thing I had in mind to do was get a stylist to choose a dress for her because I knew Yara. she was definitely going to wear pants to follow me if she could. I had never seen her in a dress for the past four months since she joined me in my pack so it was very predictable that she would wear a pair of pants and braid her hair into a single one like she always did with a bare face but still always managed to look good.I chuckled myself once I had that thought and a smile stayed stuck to my face while I chose for myself, a suit to wear to the club so I cou
ALPHA DENVER’S POV“Say something and stop gaping at me like I just got bathed with mud, would you? I know I look ridiculous. Your face says it all” she mumbled and grumbled while she kept on fixing the dress over and over with an uncomfortable look on her face. I quickly shook my head and walked closer to her. Then I tucked her hair behind her ear to fix the listening device and I could feel her stiffening beneath my touch when my finger brushed the tip of her ear.“You don’t look ridiculous Yara. you look too good for someone who is always in sweatpants and trust me, that Lycan prince wouldn’t get his eyes off you” I said to her and I could hear her drag in a sharp breath before she released it through her mouth and I watched closely, how her lips contracted so closely together to form an ‘o’ shape while she breathed out. She wore purple lipstick and I wondered if it was the kind that tasted like candy. “You really think so? I don’t want this mission to flop” she said to me, her ey
THIRD POVTHREE MONTHS LATER…For the first time, the SINNICA pack was hosting a new moon festival and everyone was excited about it. Especially the new beta, Freya because she was the one who brought up the idea for Alpha Denver and he instantly liked it.It had been months since the attack and Yara left.Alpha Denver made sure to give Cillian the punishment he deserved and now he was history as he had chosen for himself, a new beta who was more competent and trustworthy, but even though things were running smoothly, the absence of Yara was still there and he missed her dearly. It was like a huge part of his heart was carved out when he woke up after the attack and was told that she was gone. He searched for her, did all he could, and reached out to everyone he knew who could help to look for her but she was never found. He had no idea where she was or what she was doing. He didn’t even know if she was alive or not and it saddened him to know that he lost the only woman that he had
LUNA AMANDA’S POVI didn’t need to do a lengthy introduction of myself to the army since they all knew who I was already. The alpha was going to be the one leading the army with me by his side as an accomplice and guide into the palace and after a short orientation with the army, they all understood what we were going to the SINNICA pack for. I left my parents behind since they couldn't join in the war to come and that night, we made our way to the pack after I told Cillian we were on our way.We got to the borders of the pack and it was all empty thanks to Cillian who had reassigned the guards before we arrived. We had easy access to the pack but the problem was with the subject. They all began to scream out for help once they saw us and most of them rushed into their houses to protect themselves. A guard was about to go after a woman but I quickly stopped him and made sure to remind him that the target tonight was Alpha Denver and no one else which meant the subjects were exempt.
LUNA AMANDA’S POVThe drive back to my pack was a very quiet one and it was obvious that all of us were seething with anger. Alpha Denver just rejected me as his Luna after I stayed by his side for so many years and he thought I wasn't going to retaliate?He made me feel like I was nothing for so long and even mistreated me several times in front of the maids so if he thought I wasn't going to act and make him pay, he must have really underestimated me.I already had plans working like wheels in my mind and having Cillian back in the pack was a bonus for me because he was going to let me know about everything that was going on back there without any effort. I sighed before I rested my head against the window of the car and soon, we had arrived at our mansion in our pack.It had been so many years since I had seen this mansion and seeing it before me again brought back many memories of the years I spent in it as a child, when I was still happy and living a contented life before I fel
YARA’S POVIt had been two days since the fight I had with Alpha Denver and we didn’t speak to each other. I had been holed up in my room throughout without breakfast, lunch, or dinner and sometimes, in the middle of the night, I would hear him groaning and yelling out in pain and I knew it was because of the cursed poison that Allison cast on him.It was a struggle not to get up from my bed and go over to his room to check on him whenever he was having his headache episodes at night but I wondered if he even wanted me there with him. We told each other that we didn't trust each other and that alone was enough to destroy every atom of feeling that we had for each other. So what if I went to see him and then he told me that he didn’t want me around him? It was even going to hurt me more than I already felt and it would be unbearable.So I figured it was best to keep my distance. Especially since he didn’t mind enduring the pain rather than having me help him by returning my wings to me
YARA’S POVI didn’t know if I was supposed to be angry or if I should try and hold myself back because he was in pain. But he yelled at me. He wouldn’t talk about my wings and when I insisted, he decided to yell at me and that did it for me.I wasn’t going to stand back and let him yell at me for what was originally mine for no reason so I had to make him explain. I wanted to hear his side and know exactly why he wouldn’t give my wings back to me.So I followed him as he walked away from the throne room and I set my foot out to stop the door from shutting in my face when he walked into his room.“Make me understand, Denver. Tell me exactly why you don’t want to talk about returning my wings to me. Tell me why you don’t seem like you want to even give it to me at all” I yelled at him and he groaned with his head still palmed. He was still in pain and as much I cared, there was nothing I could do except he gave my wings back to me.“Yara, please, don’t” he began and I stomped my foot on
ALPHA DENVER’S POVI walked to the throne room with Yara right behind me and my head hurt so badly. It felt like I was getting pricked with a thousand needles in the brain and I imagined myself losing my mind due to the unbearable pain. I wished I hadn't gotten so close to Allison, then she wouldn’t have done this to me.Luna Amanda’s mother came for me immediately. I walked into the throne room and she grabbed me by the collar of my shirt with anger in her eyes but I was too focused on the fact that Yara was asking for her wings to care about Luna Amanda’s mother throwing a tantrum in my face. So I grabbed her by her hands and pulled them off my collar before I pushed her off me and she fell but I didn’t care.I walked to the throne and took my seat while Yara tried to help her up but she only yelled at her to keep her distance and Yara didn’t say a word as she let her go and came to join me where I sat. Then I watched Amanda’s father help her mother up before they came toward me an
YARA’S POVI thanked the guard who always kept watch by the palace dungeon after he opened the caged door for us and he nodded back at me with a polite smile before I walked into the dungeon along with Alpha Denver who was leading the way. There was an array of caged cells on both sides of the dungeon and there wasn’t a single ray of sunshine or light in there. I couldn’t help but wonder how it must have taken a toll on the prisoners mentally and that made me wonder if Allison was fine.I caught up with Alpha Denver who was walking faster and I held onto the tip of the sleeve of his shirt so I wouldn’t lose him. Then he looked back at me with a smile and I blushed. I wondered if it was crazy of me to be blushing in such a place so I quickly kept a straight face and we kept on walking in silence. A while passed and we still hadn’t gotten to Allison’s cell so I tugged on AlphaDenver’s shirt to get his attention and he looked at me.“Aren’t we there yet? This place is beginning to feel l
LUNA AMANDA’S POVI had been locked up for the past three days inside my room and I was beginning to lose my mind gradually as the days wore on. My nose was still aching badly from the punches Alpha Denver gave to me days ago and I hadn’t been attended to by the palace’s physician yet. My lunch was passed to me from beneath the door like I was a prisoner and when I had demanded that I wanted a maid to attend to me, they all said the same thing… Alpha Denver had ordered that no one open the door for me.To make matters worse, he didn’t bother apologizing to me when he was supposed to. I was the one who was wronged because he cheated on me with a witch and he wasn’t going to say he was sorry? If he had apologized to me, then maybe I wouldn't have been so pissed and I would probably have let all he had done to me go but since he wanted to show he wasn’t wrong in any way, I was going to put him in his place and it was going to be soon.I grabbed the phone I had secretly hidden in my roo
YARA’S POVThe physician carried one last check-up on me after my wound mysteriously healed and in his state of shock, he said I was free to go since I was completely fine. Together with Freya and alpha Denver, I was taken to his room and he sat me down on his bed while Freya closed the door.“What happened Yara? How did your wound get to heal just like that?” he asked me in a frenzy as he itched to get answers and I watched him for a while. I was the only one that could tell him that his pack was in a looming danger that was coming sooner than we expected and he had to get ready for it.“You have to call down first and listen to me, Denver. This is serious” I said to him and he tucked his hands into his pocket while watching me and waiting. I kept my eyes on him to let him know I meant what I was saying and he finally sat down to listen. I looked at Freya who stood by the door and I nudged her over to join us since she was obviously on our side so she came over and sat down on one
