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
YARA’S POVThe bedside alarm rang very loud like it always did and I groaned out loud while I turned to the other side and placed a pillow over my head. I didn’t want to get out of bed yet. Then the door to my room opened and I heard footsteps. I didn’t bother to check who it was because I didn’t care.But my sleep was soon cut short when the blanket was pulled off my body with force and I sat up at once to see how it was disrupting my much-needed beauty sleep.It was Freya and she had a wide smile on her face while she stared at me. Rolling my eyes with a groan, I fell back in bed and palmed my face.“Good morning. Don’t forget you have somewhere to go” she said cheerfully and I only groaned again.“Go away,” I said through my hands that were still on my face but she didn’t say anything.Then I heard her footsteps and next thing, she was pulling me out of bed by grabbing onto my ankles.“Hey! Let me go," I snapped at her and she shook her head while she still pulled.“Nope, not at al
LUNA AMANDA’S POVI had been trying so hard to control my temper and hold myself back all along. I didn’t want to do anything that would upset Alpha Denver which was why I never got back at Yara for all the times she spoke to me rudely because I knew he would let all hell loose on me if I hurt her.But it was going to be different this time because she asked for it.First, she came to my pack uninvited for a reason I still didn’t know anything about. Then she dared to take my alpha from me when she knew how hard I had tried for so many years to make him want me just as much as I wanted him. She kissed him. She kissed the only man I wanted and that alone was enough reason to make me want to kill her and this trip of theirs was going to be a perfect opportunity for me to do so.They would be away from the pack so if anything were to happen to her over there, it would be assumed that the suspect was there and not here. I was going to go scot free with whatever I did and that was the plan
LUNA AMANDA’S POVI led Cillian to the wine cellar and I walked through the shelves to pick a bottle while he waited by the bar. I finally found a good choice and I joined him at the bar where he was busy getting glasses for us to use.So I set the bottle on the counter and sat down on a stool just as he turned away from the cabinet for the glasses and faced me. He was on the other side of the counter and he surprised me by sitting on the stool over there when I already assumed he would want to sit beside me.“So why exactly do you want to have this drink with me, Cillian?” I asked him and he stared at me for a while before he shrugged in response.“No reason in particular. I just figured it would help calm you down after looking that angry. You need something to distract yourself while Alpha Denver is away with that witch” he replied as he popped open the wine and poured some for both of us.I busied myself with twirling with the tip of my hair while he poured the wine and nodded wh
YARA’S POVI felt someone tap on my leg and I moaned sleepily before I kicked the handoff and kept on sleeping. I was way too tired to wake up and see who was trying to wake me up and for a moment, I forgot I was on a plane and thought I was back at the palace in my bed because I was also sleeping on a bed at the moment.“Come on, Yara. wake up” I heard a voice from a distance this time but I did the same thing. I just moaned to be left alone before I pulled the blanket over my head and before I could register all that was happening on my own, I had been pulled down to the edge of the bed and my eyes snapped open as I gasped in fear.I looked before me and it was Alpha Denver. He had a blank look as he watched me and I eyed him as I pulled the blanket off my body completely.“We’ve landed. Come on, get up, let’s go” he said briefly before he walked away and I wondered why he was acting so distant all of a sudden.I was about to get up when I realized I fell asleep on one of the chairs
