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
