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
Leah's POV"You dare say that to her after what you made her go through!" Jace growled, then tightened his grip on my hair as I screamed out in pain.The side of my cheek was hurting badly from the brutal hit I had received, and blood was rolling down from my nose."Jace baby, it's me," I cried out, blinking back the tears that blurred my vision.I let out a broken gasp when he grabbed my chin hard, hurting me even more."I said I would let you live for your parents' sake, and heck, I even promised myself not to be violent in front of Lillian. So why the fuck did you have to tell her that? Do you take pleasure in hurting her? She has already been through hell because of us both!" He exclaimed and then let go of my cheek and moved his hand to cover his face.I was in shock at how he was treating me harshly over that trash."You are pathetic," Lucia whispered when she pulled through."What?" He asked in disbelief when he dropped his hand."You are such a pathetic Alpha. Are you that bli
Lillian's POV"You know you don't have to do that," Jace said softly in my room.I looked at him, then sighed. Since yesterday, he looked low and sad for some reason. Was it because we went to see Leah? When Ridge took over and we got to spend some time together, I felt very happy. When he left for his office, I thought everything was going well, but then the next day Jace came to greet me and he seemed rather unhappy."I know, but I absolutely want to," I answered with a smile.I wanted to do something to cheer him up, so when Flora came to ask me for help in looking after a few orphan pups who were going through a hard time, I agreed without a second thought."Won't that tire you quickly?" He asked.I sighed loudly and then turned to face him.He was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed and his arms folded."I know that you are concerned for me, but believe me when I say I'm really okay with helping out. Moreover, I love pups a lot and when I was growing up, I couldn't help but
Sol's POVI groaned softly when I sat upright at the edge of the bed, feeling restless."Shit, not again," I whispered to myself.For days now, all I could think about was my mate. I knew it was wrong; that's why I felt so much guilt towards my beautiful wife who was always by my side. She had my back when no one else did and held my hand when I had nothing."Ήλιε μου," Amara called softly behind me.I glanced back and smiled at her before fully turning to face her.She was lying down, smiling warmly at me.She still looked gorgeous even after a few years of struggles had passed us."My sun, is something the matter?" She asked, this time stopping herself from calling me in Greek.I smiled widely and then moved, laying beside her."My heart," I whispered softly as I moved my hand and caressed her face.How was I going to tell her everything when I was scared of hurting her?I lowered my eyes, trying so hard not to look into her beautiful deep hazel eyes."ílie mou," she called softly.
Paul's POVPardon?What pardon was he even talking about when it was clear how he wanted her dead! He had no remorse, and neither one of them felt pity for her.How could Jace change just like that in a short time? How could he allow Ridge to act as he saw fit?Leah was the apple of his eyes, and everyone knew that. Hell, all warriors, including myself, envied his position because of her.Ever since I set my eyes on Leah, I saw a goddess in her place. She was my goddess in the flesh and in living. Her smile was light to my soul, and her words were absolute.My loyalty was towards her, but to my wolf, his loyalty was towards our Alpha. That's why I had to bend to his will and just submit. Miss Leah was so kind that she even spoke to the scum of the pack and took care of the others despite her being above them all.She even blessed me when she chose me as her first partner in sex. Then she was experiencing her first heat, and I was the only one beside her. The Alpha was right in his off
Lillian's POVI was woken up by a loud growl, a warning. I slowly sat upright, yawned, and blinked a few times to clear my vision."Get up," Maila growled at me. I frowned, then moved to the edge of the bed and got up.When I heard a loud whimper, I rushed to the door. Immediately, I pulled it open, and Flora came running to my side."It's the Alpha who is very upset, Luna. I'm afraid he will hurt the Beta and Delta who are holding him back. I don't know what happened because all I did was serve tea. But then Paul walked in, and everything changed for the worst," Flora said in a cracked voice. She had a terrified expression on her face, and she was sweating.I quickly rushed to his office following his scent. When I walked in, my eyes instantly went to Paul, who was kneeling on the ground with a bleeding nose. His hair was ruffled, and his shirt was badly torn.I shifted my gaze to Ridge, who was standing still, yet looking at Paul as if he would rip him in half.Talic and Light were
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
