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
YARA’S POVAlpha Denver was obviously teasing me. He looked like he was enjoying the way he made me constantly flustered and shy and most of all, I couldn’t get what he said about making my dream come true out of my head. One thing I was certain about Denver was that he never went back on his words and if he said he was going to make my dreams come true, then he was going to and just the thought of that… the thought of him straddling me and then slowly undressing me did unexplainable things to my insides and I found myself clenching my thighs from thinking about it.The day at the company came to an end, I was still finding it hard to believe that I would be following him to the launch ceremony of his new hotel.On our drive back to the palace, it was quiet in the car once again. All we did was hold hands while he drove and we let go immediately as he drove into the palace’s premises. I was the first to get down from the car and I walked straight into the palace without sparing him
ALPHA DENVER’S POVI walked out of Yara’s room and I stood in the passage for a while with my hands tucked into my pockets. I didn't want to do this but I didn’t have much of a choice so I had to. With a grunt, I walked toward the wing of the palace where Luna Amanda was kept for treatment and the palace’s physician was there checking on her. He was probably doing his last round for the night before going to bed.He saw me standing by the door when he turned around and he bowed to me. I gave him a nod in reply and he came toward me.“May I speak to you for a moment, Alpha Denver? In private” he said and he looked up at me. We both shared a look for a while as I wondered what he had to say to me then I gave in and nodded. “Lead the way then,” I replied and he walked out of the room so I followed suit. We both walked into the next room and he turned around to face me.“What is wrong?” I asked him.“It’s about Luna Amanda. She is in a really bad mood today and she almost strangled a nu
YARA’S POVThere was a knock on my door a few minutes after Alpha Denver left and it was Cillian by the door with a suitcase in his hand. He forced a smile on as he handed the suitcase over to me and I took it. “Safe trip with alpha Denver,” he said but he sounded sarcastic. I knew he didn’t mean it because he was pissed that Alpha Denver had to choose me to tag along with him when he was the one who followed him all the time.To them all, they would assume Alpha Denver was only taking me along with him to make things hard for me by keeping me busy through working non-stop during our stay there but they had no idea it was the opposite. I and Alpha Denver had hated each other so much and for so long that it seemed unlikely for anyone to even suspect we may be having an affair. I was going to call it an affair because Alpha Denver had a mate. Even if he didn’t like her, she was still his mate and we were keeping what had a secret… so it was an affair. “Thank you, Cillian” I answered h
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
