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
YARA’S POVThe car finally came to a stop and I watched the tinted glass slide down while Denver kept his head on my shoulder still. The driver looked back to announce we had arrived and I saw the surprise in his eyes when he saw Alpha Denver laying his head on my shoulder. Our eyes met and a brief moment of silence and realization passed through his eyes before he nodded and audibly cleared his throat.“We have arrived at the hotel alpha” he announced loudly and Alpha Denver finally pulled back and smiled at the man. I was surprised to see him smile at him because he always looked stern and unapproachable to his workers and I remembered what Freya said to me the previous night; maybe she was right. Maybe I was positively rubbing off on him.“Thank you,” Alpha Denver said to him before he let go of my hand that was still linked to his so we could get down from the car.“I’ll be here later on to take you to the hotel for the rehearsals alpha. Are you okay with that?” the driver asked
YARA’S POVI wore one of the dresses that Freya helped me pick and I looked at myself in the mirror to be sure I looked good enough for the rehearsals we were heading to. It was an emerald green dress that hugged my figure and stopped exactly at my ankle with a split from my knee downward and I felt it was perfect.I smiled at my reflection in satisfaction before I walked out of the bathroom and Alpha Denver already was dressed up too. He was in a pair of black jean trousers that hugged his calves and a cashmere long-sleeved shirt. He was brushing through his hair when he saw me watching him through the mirror before him and our eyes stayed locked through the mirror. Then he returned the brush and turned around to face me. I didn’t take my eyes off him this time as he walked toward me and I watched him run his eyes over me.“The last time I saw you in a dress was the night of the mission to get my bike back and you don’t want to know what I had running through my mind,” he said and
LUNA AMANDA’S POVThe bar wasn’t a safe place to get indulged in anything with Cillian. Anyone could walk in and see us and it was going to be catastrophic so I quickly pulled away from the kiss he initiated and he looked confused as he stared at me. Then he took a few steps back from me and held his hands up. “I’m sorry. I should have known it would be a mistake. I’m just going to walk away like this never happened then” he began and I laughed.“I never said I regret it. I only stopped kissing you because anyone could walk in here and see us,” I said to him and he looked both surprised and relieved to hear that from me. He sighed and smiled brightly while displaying his teeth.“That’s a relief then. I thought you were beginning to have second thoughts” he replied and I shook my head.Then I looked down and the broken glasses were still scattered everywhere. I looked back at him and he was following my gaze too.“Aren’t you going to clear this mess like you said you would?” I asked h
YARA’S POVMorning came and I grunted tiredly in bed before I opened my eyes and turned to look at Alpha Denver over where he lay on the other side of the bed since I had a pillow wall mounted between us.It was the first time we were sharing a bed but I wasn’t bothered or nervous about it because of the pillows I arranged to stop him from getting naughty. I was way too focused on getting back at him for what he did to me in the elevator to let any anxiety about sharing a bed with him get to me.I noticed he wasn’t on the bed with me after looking and I sat up immediately while wondering where he could be. Then I quickly reached for the bedside clock to see what time it was and it was already past 10 am. My eyes bulged when I saw the time and I quickly got down from the bed.“Shit, shit, shit! I’m late” I kept on whispering under my breath as I rushed toward the bathroom to have my bath, not caring to know where alpha Denver was or what he was up to anymore.I got into the bathroom and
