Maila's POVI looked at the bastard who was unconscious on the ground in tears, then took a deep breath.This was what we both wanted, yet why was she now stopping me?"He doesn't deserve us!" I yelled angrily."I know, but don't kill him!" Lillian screamed back."Are you kidding me! Weren't you mute hours ago and refused to talk to me or respond to anyone? Why now! Do you have strong feelings for this trash!" I yelled."No," came her sad response.Who did she think I was? I was a part of her; that's why I knew how she felt about him. She was angry as I was, yet a part of us still wanted him."Then don't get in my way to do what I want, Lillian. He has never liked us in any way, and he never will. Him going down on his knees is a show because he has now realized what we are capable of doing. We are now of higher rank," I said furiously.When a minute went by without her response, I walked to the door and opened it roughly, looking at the two fools who immediately bowed low.They were
Jace's POVI sat at the edge of the bed, looking at my chest in silence.Her grip was strong, and her force was brutal, yet she couldn't kill us? Why? Did she want to first watch us suffer, or was it out of pity?Either way, it didn't matter because I was going back to her side. When she was lying dead by my side, I vowed to stay by her side no matter what.I stood up and walked to the wardrobe, pulling it open and grabbing a simple gray shirt."Alpha, what are you doing?" Las asked."Can't you see? I am dressing up," I answered while I put on the shirt and buttoned it."I can see that, but that's not why I'm asking," he said seriously.I turned and faced him coldly."I'm going to check up on my mate," I answered."No, you can't," Talic said seriously."I can and I will. I expect none of you to get in my way because I really need to be by her side," I answered."Are you fucking insane?" Talic growled as his eyes switched to Harvey's. Finally, he was letting him take over; perhaps he w
Maila's POVHaving power felt so unreal to us. It also felt good and almost addictive having everyone look at us differently and with a hint of fear."I'm glad you are accepting what we are capable of doing," I said to Lillian and then threw myself on the bed as memories of our mate began invading our mind.I wanted to know if he was back on his feet or not. A tiny part of me badly wanted to check up on him."You are worried," Lillian whispered as I groaned softly and then sat upright."I am not," I lied, then got to my feet and walked to the door, stepping out of the room.What we needed was a walk to take our minds off things again.Although things were different, it still felt nice to just walk around nature. I was about to go downstairs when I heard Jace's voice coming from downstairs.I looked ahead and saw him talking to Talic. He looked very concerned."Don't let her go," he told Talic as he frowned deeply."I wish I could do more, Alpha, but I feel like her decision is already
Maila's POV"Lillian," he called as I glared at him."Do you think that will make us happy? Your little act of defending us? And I am not Lillian! You don't even know my name, do you?" I asked coldly.He looked at me apologetically and then shook his head."I figured, like how could you even attempt to know my name when you don't want us," I said as he quickly moved and grabbed my hands.Instantly, I felt calmer."That's not true," he answered loudly."I know what you are trying to do, Alpha, but it won't work," I said angrily."What is your name?" He asked softly."Is this a joke? Why are you asking me right now? Is it because of what I said?" I asked back and then swallowed hard.It was taking everything in me not to smile at him and just tell him."Look, I know I messed up big time. But I swear it's the truth that I want both of you. Me and Ridge are willing to do anything to make you happy," he answered.Before I could respond, he moved my hand and pressed it against his chest."I
Jace's POVI was woken up by beautiful soft humming. A wet cloth was covering my forehead, and the amazing scent of my mate filled the room. The tingles that were spreading throughout my entire body made the pain I had experienced disappear.I looked to my side and smiled when I saw her looking at the book on her lap while humming. Her hand was holding mine, and that made my heart pick up. She was sitting on a chair with her hair covering her beautiful face. Something about her made me feel at peace and at ease. Sadly, I couldn't bring myself to let her know that I was awake.I had a feeling if I did, she would instantly act up, either by getting angry with me or distancing herself from me.I was truly a coward who didn't want to leave her side. The moment she ordered me to drink wolfsbane, I was terrified. Not because of death, but because of letting her go. If I was to die, I would leave her alone for another man or be forgotten, which I didn't want. I wanted to die for her but n
Edith's POVThe past few weeks had gone by, and Talic was nowhere to be seen. I understood that he was very busy with the pack, but wasn't it normal to want to spend the last few days with me, his mate?I walked to the window and opened it, looking down at the pack members who were going back and forth. Some were chatting, while others were playfully having fun.I was about to step back from the window when a group of warriors caught my attention. They were standing in front of Talic as they spoke to him seriously. His back was towards me, yet he still looked very good.I leaned against the window with a smile, admiring his height and build. He was just so damn sexy without even trying hard."My mate is one sexy bastard," I said to myself playfully, then chuckled softly.When the warriors stopped talking and looked at me, my heart picked up. In just a second, Talic turned to look at me with a raised brow.I quickly turned back to avoid his gaze and knelt down with labored breath."Oh
Edith's POV"Edith, stop!" A loud growl snapped me out of my trance.I looked at the floor and noticed Harvey, who had passed out there, then gasped loudly as I raised my gaze to look at Jace, who was standing protectively in front of him."I... Alpha... I...,""Save it," he said furiously, cutting me off, and then turned and went down on one knee, placing his hand on Harvey's neck.I quickly moved too and knelt down next to him in fear and with a rapidly beating heart."He's alive, luckily," he whispered as I sighed in relief.I was about to press my hand on Harvey's chest when he lightly hit it."Don't. You have done enough as it is," he warned coldly."I'm so sorry, Alpha. I lost control for a second and got into a trance where I couldn't pull out easily," I answered sadly."Did you seriously not hear his pained whimpers?" He asked as I shook my head."I swear on any god I didn't. I didn't even want to hurt him intentionally. I just lost it when he said something insensitive about
Lillian's POV"Hey, what's wrong?" Flora asked softly.I looked at her and then smiled sadly."Nothing is wrong," I answered and then looked at the door nervously.A few hours had gone by since Flora came into my room looking very happy.She embraced me while telling me how thankful she was to be chosen to serve me in the pack house. At first, I wanted to tell her how it was the Alpha's decision, but stopped when I thought of her leaving and refusing to stay in fear.I didn't know what he was planning on doing or what he wanted from me, but I'm sure it wasn't that good since there was never a day he was kind to me. That's why I needed Flora on my side, that way if something bad was to happen, I would run to her side."Flora," I called as I stood in fear with a rapidly beating heart. I could smell the scent of Jace getting stronger and light footsteps approaching my room."Don't worry, I'll talk to him," she answered and then walked to the door and opened it."Thank you," I whispered s
Glen's POV I marched into my mother's living room furiously and moved in front of her.As usual, she was relaxing and drinking her cup of coffee calmly.Despite her age, she still looked very good. Her blond curly hair was nicely done, and she had on the finest pearls around her neck. Her diamond ring, which she wore on her finger, was bigger than the last time I had seen it, and she was wearing the most expensive brand known."We need to talk," I said seriously.She glanced at her butler, who stood close to the balcony looking at us, and then back at me."I asked you to always welcome my pup whenever he visits, but that doesn't mean I allowed you to let him in whenever I'm having my calm tea time," she said seriously."I apologize, Luna. I did pick up his scent, but I didn't think of stopping him because it has been long since you last saw him," he answered and then lowered his gaze to the floor.Now everything made sense! Back then, I wondered how she was still called Luna when she
Lillian's POV "Las and Light took the news rather hard yesterday, and Glen, that loser, was a damn pain. He couldn't even let Dominic take over or stay for a few minutes. What a pathetic, lonely fool," Jace said in a displeased tone."You know, maybe he acted like that because he doesn't want anyone to see that he is hurting. After all, he lost his mate to his twin brother, whom he met for the very first time. I'm sure he is shocked and feeling sad knowing he had a family besides you and that he was kept in the dark," I answered."Well, screw him. Dominic is the only one I consider family now. I mean, I too am still shocked that I have more family," he said and then sighed heavily."What's wrong?" I asked in concern."I worry about Paul, and I felt a little sad when he chose to stay back," he answered seriously."I felt bad too," I said softly.He was lying down on the bed, resting his head on my lap while I attended to him."But I'm really happy for him," he said.I paused, cleaning
Jace's POV "Paul, are you going with us or not? Sky's Beta has gone to look for Sophie. If he finds her, we are all going to leave. So, are you coming with us or not?" I asked through our mind-link.He was my friend, whom I cherished a lot. If he chose to stay for his mate, then there was nothing I could do."I'm really sorry, Jace," came his response.I looked at Lillian sadly, then at Harvey. They could both hear him through our mind-link. "I honestly want to go with you guys, but I can't leave my mate behind. She isn't well at all; a healer discovered that she has a heart problem, and right now she needs all the support she can get," he answered."Our pack has healers too; you can come with her. Edith can also help a lot," Harvey said."I know, but that doesn't mean her very close friend Harley will be there," he answered."Then why not convince her to come back or even drag her if she...!""Harvey," I called softly and then shook my head, stopping him before he could finish his
Ruff's POVI had my gaze lowered to the floor when Sky walked past me.Although he had asked me to leave, I couldn't go far. I stood in the passage, listening to his conversation carefully. He was very upset and sad, and he obviously felt betrayed. Although he wanted to talk to no one, he was still my Alpha and friend, and as his Beta, I needed to be by his side or close by, and he knew that. That's why he said loudly that no one was to come close to him, knowing that I was nearby, listening.I went back into the living room and looked at Harley, who had a very sad expression on her face."Luna, I really am so sorry about everything. He really didn't mean what he said. It's just that right now he is confused and may be feeling sad and upset over the intruders. The way I know him, he will come around soon; all you have to do is give him a few hours. Do rest in your room; I'll have the two Omegas who attended to you stand outside your room just in case you need something," I said seriou
Sky's POV"Dad, what's wrong?" I asked with concern as I grabbed his shoulders.He looked at me seriously, and for the first time, I saw fear in his eyes."He can't be alive; it's impossible," he whispered as I frowned."Dad, I don't understand," I said, and then I looked at Riff when he walked in and moved to my side, standing next to Harley, who was looking at my father with a shocked expression on her face."What happened here? Where were you, Riff?" I asked loudly."I'm sorry, Alpha. After escorting the guests to the living room, I went to talk to the elderly omegas as you had asked me," he answered, annoying me."I asked you to do that days ago!" I exclaimed."I know, but at that time, the one who had the needed information was very sick and could barely talk. Today, when I was mind-linked about her wanting to talk, I went, and that's where I am coming from," he answered.I sighed heavily and then looked at my father."Dad, you need rest," I said softly."I do not need rest, and
Harley's POV "Talk, Glen," I said seriously once I stood in front of him, and that seemed to shock him because he widened his eyes."Harley," he called softly."I said, 'Talk, Glen.' I really don't want to stand here all day," I said honestly."Glen? You really think I'm him?" he asked with a raised brow.Was he messing around at such a moment? He really was the worst."It seems you have nothing serious to say," I answered, and I was about to turn when he grabbed my hand.I instantly pulled my hand away. Although the tingles felt nice, I found his touch repulsive."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to grab your hand without permission. I just didn't want you to leave me here. Um... I don't know if you remember, but we met at the office. That time I was about to fall and lose my balance, but you helped me into my office," he said as I glared at him."Yes, I also remember you asking me not to touch you. I remember you cursing me out in front of my colleagues and saying harsh, painful words to m
Jace's POV I was very upset over the fact that I had been standing outside for half an hour now, and no one seemed to want to invite us in or offer us a damn seat!"Dominic, I suggest you go in there and drag your mate away from your evil look-alike twin or whatever he is, because we can't stay here any longer," I said seriously."I wish I could, but I know that won't be possible, and I'm not going anywhere without her," he answered seriously."Damn it, then I will be the one to do it," I said, then walked to the pack house's entrance."Jace," Lillian called in concern."Don't worry, I will be just fine," I answered.The Alpha of this pack was very strong, but his anger was definitely directed more towards Dominic than towards us."I'm sorry, I can't let you in," the pack's Beta, who had left with the injured warriors a while ago, said as he approached me."Do you realize that my Gamma is in your pack house?" I asked seriously."I do, that's why I apologize, Alpha. Unfortunately, I s
Harley's POVOh, so she had no idea he was her mate? Clearly, she didn’t even know there were different types of supernatural beings. That’s why she was crying and screaming in fear, overwhelmed by what was happening.I, too, was shocked. For a moment, I thought I was hearing things when I first heard Molly's voice. But then she called out again, and I couldn’t stay put as Sky had asked me to. That’s why I rushed out, desperate to see if it was really her.When I reached the pack house, I was frozen by the sight of the fight in front of me. Yes, I’d heard growls and snarls, but I never expected this. I didn’t know how to react. That’s when Jade took over, and suddenly, everyone backed down, the fight stopping. Sky's wolf approached us, towering over me. Fear gripped me, but Jade stood her ground, unfazed. It must have worked because he dashed into the pack house, leaving us behind.I was even more stunned when Glen shifted into his human form, surrounded by a few guests from the party
Molly's POVI was kneeling on the ground with tears running down my cheeks. I was so scared, and I felt very confused over the fight that was happening around me. There was blood everywhere, and the lady in front of me, who was doing her best to hold the barrier around us, looked so tired.Why did they bring me to such a dangerous place in the first place? Was Harley even here?Wait, Harley!I got to my feet, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath to calm myself down. Once I felt better, I opened them."Harley! Where are you? Harley, I am so scared right now!" I screamed at the top of my voice as the lady looked at me in surprise.I knew it was useless for her to hear my voice because the growls and snarls around me were very loud. But it was still worth a try."Harley, please! It's me, Molly!" I screamed, then sighed in relief when I saw her come out of the huge mansion, running.She looked around with a shocked expression on her face, then raised her hands."Stop!" she screamed in a
