Edith's POVWhy couldn't I bring myself to go back to where I had come from? Was it because I felt something for Talic? I admit I missed how I felt to be loved and wanted, but was that the only reason stopping me?"Edith, what's wrong?" he asked, getting my attention.I slowly walked to where he was and sat next to him on the bed."I want to go back. I know I have said this more than once, but I really do miss home," I answered honestly.He smiled warmly and then grabbed my hand, linking it to his."When would you like to go back?" he asked seriously."I... I don't know," I answered, feeling confused.After he had ordered me to see Lillian, I decided to just go into the room and rest. I wanted to refuse Harvey because he was not the boss of me, but then Talic pulled through, and I was left with no choice but to obey. After a few hours went by, he came into my room to check up on me, and he decided to stay and chat.I was relieved that it wasn't Harvey in control because I wanted to fee
Harvey's POV"Why are you acting like this towards our mate?" Talic asked furiously while I dressed up."You know why," I answered in a cracked voice and then turned to look at the closed bathroom door."I feel guilty," I whispered sadly.The bad words I had said to her out of anger were now slowly haunting me. She even looked sad.Was she now ready to take my life?"Just apologize you piece of shit. The more you act distant towards our mate, the more you will end up hurting her. You already know that she wants to stand by our side, so don't dare ruin this for us," he warned angrily as I took a deep breath and released it.He was right, what was wrong with me? I was acting like a toddler who was throwing a tantrum over not getting her full attention.I walked back to the bathroom and entered without knocking.She was standing in the shower with her back towards me. My heart ached when I inhaled the scent of her tears. Was she crying because of me?Or was she crying out of regret that s
Leah's POV"How dare she!" I screamed at the top of my voice and then looked at a few she-wolves who stood in my room silently with their gazes fixed to the ground."Why are you all acting like this? Don't you have anything to say to me, Your true luna?" I asked seriously.One of them looked at me and then smiled."I don't understand why you are acting like this, Luna, when you know very well what you are capable of doing to that low life. You are of Delta blood; everyone knows that, while she is of Omega blood," she answered as I glared at her."Are you stupid or dumb?" I asked loudly."No, Luna," she answered in a whisper."She may be of Omega blood, but you can tell that she is stronger than any of you trash combined," I spat."She may be stronger, but you are still of Delta blood and the Alpha still favors you; that's why he can't kill you. If you can't seduce him with your body, you should find another way to get rid of that stupid runt," she answered as I smiled.Of course, he c
Jace's POV"Did you have to say such harsh words to her?" I asked calmly once I had taken over."What was I supposed to do? Entertain that whore?" Ridge asked."Well, no but ...""But nothing, we have a mate who we never want to hurt. Are you going to be nice to that slut and make our mate suffer?" He asked as I sighed heavily."No," I answered.Why would I hurt our mate again? I chose her over Leah a billion times, and now that she was comfortable around us, I wanted to slowly approach her. But that didn't mean I was going to easily forget how Leah's parents raised us."But remember how Leah's parents were there for us in the past?" I asked seriously."I do, and I believe we have already paid that debt. Not only did we dress their child in the finest jewelry and clothes, we made everyone who looked down on her show respect," he answered."I get it, but still, they gave us a happy life that was taken away from us in the past," I said silently."Stop talking about them!" He growled in
Lillian's POVWhat was this sensation I was feeling between my lips as my tongue collided with his? My breath was labored, and my nipples were twitching and hard. I loved his scent that overpowered Leah's scent and his arm around my ass and back.I was about to pull back when he moved his hand to my nape, keeping me in his embrace as I tried my best to kiss him back and taste more of him."Love," I whispered in a daze between the kisses.I loved how I was feeling, and I wanted more.He pulled back with a surprised expression on his face."What did you call me?" He asked huskily as it dawned on me how my words had come out. It was like I was calling him that."I'm sorry, I meant Alpha," I answered in an apologetic tone."No, that's not what I want to hear," he said.Then what did he want to hear? Was I supposed to tell him that I'll never ever say that again?"I want to hear your sexy lips call me that name again," he said huskily as I felt my cheeks heat up."Won't you please call me
Leah's POV"Ahhhh," I screamed at the top of my voice as I threw the perfume bottles, which were on my dressing table, to the ground in anger.How could they do this to me after all I had endured for them? How could they! They needed me, they freaking needed me no matter what!"What will I do, what will I do!" I screamed loudly as I looked at my disheveled self in the mirror."Calm down," my wolf said calmly as I laughed mockingly.Calm down? Did she think we had time to do that? What was wrong with her?"You don't get to tell me that, Lucia!" I screamed while pointing a finger at myself in the mirror."Not after all I have sacrificed," I spat furiously."Calm down and let me think already," she growled loudly as I instantly dropped my hand and walked to the bed, sitting down."Just because I have done what you have asked me to, it doesn't mean you are the boss of me," I said and then folded my arms.I was going to kill that bitch, and no one was going to stop me. How could someone as
Lillian's POV"Pathetic," I muttered to myself as I picked up a dirty plate from the table and carefully put it in the sink, which was next to it.Brenda and her silly friend Sylvia were at it again, gossiping about our Alpha.It was tiring to hear them, yet I still couldn't stop myself from listening to their conversation."How on earth does he still look like he is in his twenties?" Brenda asked in a whisper."I know, right! Gosh, he doesn't age at all! He's in his late thirties, yet he still looks like a hunky teenager. Is that what it means to be an Alpha?" Sylvia answered as I rolled my eyes in annoyance.Luckily, they couldn't see me because I had my back towards them, but that didn't mean I liked how they were talking about him.And who was dumb enough to think that our Alpha wasn't aging because of his rank? It was clear that it was because of what we were!Werewolves were different from humans in most ways. Not only did we age slowly, we had heightened abilities and impressiv
Lillian's POV"It's all going to be fine," I whispered to myself, then coughed and sniffed, ignoring the scent of my blood in the little dark room I was locked in.My face was badly bruised, and I couldn't see properly on one side of my eyes, which was hurting. My wolf was silent, and all I could do was comfort the two of us with empty words.My mate had hit us again, and it came as no surprise. He did it most of the time, even when he wanted to take out his frustration on me whenever he argued with his lover. He called me to his room and then just began hitting me. Never was there a day he looked at me lovingly or talked to me tenderly.Did he have a wolf? Definitely, and they both hated us."I don't think we will be in here for long; they need us," I said softly to myself, then chuckled.No one was as good as I was with chores, so no matter what, they were going to call me. Only two days had passed, so I was sure that pretty soon they were going to call me."Beautiful day, yet again

Lillian's POVI was stunned, at the same time happy, as I stood looking at him in a daze. In just a second, the kiss that felt like it would go on forever ended just like that. I wanted to feel more because it was mind-blowing, yet I didn't know where to begin or how to ask.Was it weird that our tongues touched? Was that why he immediately pulled back?"Did you pull back because our tongues touched?" I asked in a low tone, then got startled when he laughed loudly.That's when it clicked that I was standing in the presence of Alpha Ridge."You are funny and naive in a cute way," he said as he linked his hand with mine.My heart was beating rapidly as I swallowed hard."Alpha Ridge, it's...,""Cut the formalities. Call me Ridge," he ordered and then moved my hand to his lips and kissed it.I shyly smiled and looked to the side to avoid his intense gaze. He looked as if he would eat me up."Shall we go back?" He asked.Go back? So soon?"What?" He asked when a minute went by in silence.
Jace's POVI moved hand in hand with Lillian approaching the pack's border in silence. After that embrace, I gathered my courage and asked her for a walk, which she reluctantly agreed to. As we walked, we both chose to enjoy our quiet time together.I looked at her with a smile and then stopped moving as she did the same. I didn't think much about it because I really wanted to spend some time with her, but outside, it was beginning to get cold."Excuse me," I said and then let go of her hand and took off my jacket.She frowned deeply but kept quiet."Here," I said in a low tone while I put it around her shoulders."It is very late and it is getting chilly," I whispered."Thank you," she whispered back.I folded my long sleeves and then linked my hand to hers with a smile."I heard that you like it whenever I'm dressed in dark red or blue, how true is that?" I asked when we began to walk."Um...back then, whenever you wore such a color, you looked even more handsome than you already we
Lillian's POV"He said he would return in the evening," I said softly while I looked at myself in the mirror again."So?" Maila asked."What do you mean? We have to look good," I answered seriously while I brushed a strand of hair from my forehead.I was putting on a night robe which looked nothing like something you can sleep in. It was silky yet had some beautiful diamonds on the side of my neckline, it also had red rose flowers and little stars on it. I was very happy that it had stripes that showed off my shoulders and the white hair covering my back made the dress look even more appealing. I wasn't fully confident in my body but it looked much nicer than it would have back then. My face was natural and I wanted it that way."Stop it already," she said, making me roll my eyes in annoyance."If he is going to dress up for us, the least we could do is try and do the same," I answered."What makes you think he would even do his best to look good for us? He might just put on clean, ir
