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
Sol's POVI instantly turned into my human form, not because of the fact that I knew what she was to me, but because I wanted to talk to her and find out what she was doing in the woods when it was clear that she was not one of us.She looked at me from head to toe with a raised brow and then smiled and flipped her hair back again as if attempting to seduce me."Oh, h...""What do you want?" I asked seriously without letting her finish her sentence.She frowned deeply for a second and then composed herself. She looked shocked at my words.Just because she was my mate, did she expect me to drop to the ground and worship her?"Um... I'm assuming that you are the leader of these rogues, right?" She asked in a stupid note."I believe you can tell without asking," I answered coldly.She kept quiet again and then chuckled softly."Can we talk in private?" she asked, annoying me.I wanted to say no when my wolf growled loudly at me. He wanted to hear what she had to say to us."Fine," I answ
Leah's POVAs I walked past the border, I flinched and then looked on each side. Although no one came into view, I could tell that some warriors were hiding close to the trees observing me."I know you are out there," I said loudly.A few seconds went by before they slowly came out, with Harvey standing proudly in front of them."Leah, where the hell were you? Don't you realize that the Alpha knew immediately you had crossed the border?" he asked seriously as I chuckled softly."So what, Harvey, or should I say Talic? Please do tell me this. If you were abandoned and rejected by the very she-wolf you thought was yours, how could you cope?" I asked as he kept quiet."Exactly, that's what I thought. You don't have an answer, do you? Because you know damn well it will weigh in my favor. Do you know what the Alpha told me when I confronted him?" I asked furiously.He sighed heavily and then shifted his gaze to one of his warriors."Oh, why am I even asking when you don't know," I said sof
Lillian's POV"You are glowing," Flora whispered softly while she folded my clothes."What?" I asked deliberately for her to repeat her words."Nothing," she answered, then chuckled softly."Did the Alpha visit you today?" She asked as I quickly shook my head."No," I answered and then walked to the door when I inhaled his scent.I smiled widely and then quickly opened the door before he could knock.I felt happy and my wolf was purring softly, seeing him in front of us."Hey," I greeted in a low tone.He raised his hand and caressed my cheek with a warm smile."Hey," he whispered back and then tucked a strand of hair behind my ear."Were you going somewhere?" he asked softly."Yes...," I trailed off."Actually, no," I answered honestly.The reason I wanted to go out was in hopes of bumping into him. Now that he was here, I saw no reason to."Oh, then if it's not too much to ask, would you like to join me for a walk?" he asked.I turned and looked at Flora, who quickly nodded."I woul
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
