CHAPTER 66YARA’S POVMy eyes were still on him. I still looked very perplexed and speechless and for a moment, I think I was frozen in place too because I couldn't even blink. I didn't want to close my eyes for a second while I stared at him. He began to look uncomfortable when I wouldn't take my eyes off him and he shifted his weight to one foot, then the other before he cleared his throat and dipped his hands in his pocket. I could see he was still trying to look tough and that made me smile. It felt good to know I could make him uneasy.“Aren't you going to say something? Or are you going to keep on staring at me like that?” he asked me before clearing his throat again and I dragged in a long breath.“But why? Why did you decide to let her live?” I asked him to know why he made such a grave decision when it could make his subject question his decisions and he shrugged.“It's because of you. I've meant every single thing I've ever said to you, Yara and I could not let myself live w
YARA’S POVWe kept on kissing and I wiggled in his arms to let me down. So slowly, he let me down on my feet and I had to stand on my toes so I would be able to keep my arms wrapped around his neck still. He smiled at me, his teeth displayed and I was so mesmerized by how pretty he looked. That made me chuckle.“I can’t believe this is happening” I conveyed my thought to let him know why I chuckled and he caressed my cheek with his thumb.“Neither can I but let’s enjoy this moment while it lasts” he responded and I nodded before we kept on kissing and he snaked his arms around my waist to pull me closer.Suddenly. I felt something hard pressing up against my waist and I wondered what it was. So I pulled away from the kiss to look and I gasped when I saw he was hard. Alpha Denver was hard for me and I didn’t even know what to do. I knew I wanted him, I even had a dream about it, but now that I got what I wanted, I was suddenly clueless about what to do because I had never experienced t
YARA’S POVWe kept on staring at each other. My throat suddenly ran dry, my heart began to beat faster against my ribcage and I was out of words to say. I didn’t know what Allison heard or what she saw but from the way she kept on staring at me unshakenly, it was obvious that she wasn’t pleased with what she was seeing.“Hey Allison,” I said to her while I fidgeted with my hands, not knowing if I should let them be or if I should place them on my waist.“Hey Yara” she replied dryly before her eyes shifted to alpha Deenver again and she looked like she wanted to rip his head off his neck on the spot. I knew I wouldn’t let her do that if she tried even though there was a clear opening for us and that made me feel like a traitor. I didn’t even know what I was anymore. My heart fell.“So you want to talk?” I asked her, hoping to get her attention off alpha Denver and she looked back at me.“Yeah…. In private” she said and I nodded before I looked back at Alpha Denver and he gave a sligh
YARA’S POV“I don’t want to talk about that, Yara,” Denver said to me and he turned to leave the gym.“I need to know. I want you to make sense of it so I would know if I’m doing the right thing or not by choosing to be with you. I don’t want to be a betrayer that turned on her sisters for the man who killed them” I said to him and he paused in his strides. Then he turned around to face me.“Did Allison tell you to say this to me? Is she the one that got into your head?” he asked me and I stood up from the chair I sat on. Shaking my head, I walked toward him and we both looked each other in the eyes.It broke my heart to do this too, I was always scared of bringing it up because I knew it was never going to end on a good note but seeing Allison and how determined she was to make him pay, it made me question my morals. It made me wonder how I could easily change my mind and choose to fall for the man that killed my sisters, burnt my kingdom, and even took my wings. He was the reason wh
LUNA AMANDA’S POVI stormed into my room angrily and the first thing I did was grab whatever I could lay my hands on before I flung it against the wall. I heard the loud crash as it collided with the wall and the maids in my room gasped before they had their eyes fixed on me with fear and horror in them. They all looked like they wanted to run out of the room but they knew they couldn’t without my permission.I was so blind with rage at that moment and I wanted to be alone so I glared at them and I growled out loud while fisting my hands.“Get out of my room this instant. GET OUT!” I yelled at them and they all shrieked fearfully before they all scampered out in a rush, leaving me all alone with my burning rage and self-loathing.I couldn’t believe what I saw just a moment ago and I wanted to believe, perhaps try and convince myself that it was just my head playing games with me so it was only a fragment of my imagination playing tricks on me.But I knew what I saw. It was happening
ALPHA DENVER’S POVTo say I was hurting would be an understatement. I never imagined that I would become so soft and vulnerable for someone to have the power to hurt me with words but with Yara, it was different. She had the power to do that to me and the moment she told me not to speak to her because she wanted space, I felt my insides crumble. I felt helpless and it was even more frustrating to know that I had to listen to her and watch her walk away without going after her.I wanted to stop her, hold her hand and pull her back to me, hug her, and try to comfort her. To let her know that wanting to be with someone wasn’t a crime. But I knew I wasn’t going to get through to her and I had no choice but to let her be so she could process her thoughts and decisions on her own.It made me wonder if this was how it was always going to be. If at one moment, she would want to be with me but then the next, she would start to stay away from me while questioning her choice.I certainly didn’t
ALPHA DENVER’S POVMy alarm let out its deafening ring and I woke up immediately. Groaning to myself, I turned it off then I let my eyes stay closed for a while before I finally decided to wake up and I went straight to the bathroom to have a bath. I had to be at the company for the day because there was a new hotel of mine to be launched in another country and I had to run over the basics with Cillian before leaving for the hotel to host the launch party.I finished having my bath and I wore my suit. Looking at myself in the mirror as I arranged my hair, I realized that I needed a haircut and I made a mental note to get it done once I was back from the business trip I would be leaving for. The length of the hair wasn’t so bad looking so I could manage until I would be back from the trip because the hotel had to be launched quickly and that was more important than getting a haircut.Grabbing my suitcase, I walked out of my room and I stopped when I saw Yara’s door. I wondered if she w
ALPHA DENVER’S POVThe tension still hung heavy in the air and we kept on staring at each other. Then she blinked twice, gave me a brief glance, and looked away. She looked like she just collected herself from a moment of forgetting she had been staring at me and I smiled to myself when she audibly cleared her throat and turned toward the elevator doors.I could tell that she was either nervous or just felt awkward and looking at her, I wondered what she could possibly have running through her mind at the moment.The elevator finally stopped and I watched the doors slide open. She was the first to exit and I rushed after her.Together, we walked into my office and I closed the door, making sure to lock it too so Cillian wouldn’t barge in like he did sometimes. Then I turned around to face her and I was caught by surprise when she grabbed me by the collar and pushed my back against the wall. I was about to speak when she pressed her lips on mine hungrily and I returned the gesture with
