Talic's POV"Were we too hard on him?" I asked the Alpha seriously in his office."Of course not; he really needs to go through this phase in order for him to learn," he answered and then glanced at the Luna with a warm smile."You were amazing," he whispered and then extended his hand to her."Well, I hate such selfish behavior," she answered and then took his hand and moved in front of him.I watched uncomfortably as he wrapped his arms around her waist with a smile.She shyly looked away for a second but then wrapped her arms around his shoulders happily."I thought you didn't want us to spend time together," she whispered."Why would you think that?" he asked softly."Because Jace has been spending more time with Lillian. He couldn't even spare me a few minutes. Also, you wouldn't take over, so I figured you must not want to or perhaps you are angry with me," she answered."Mm, I see," he whispered and then swept her off her feet."Talic, if there is anything important to report,
Sky's POV "So you are telling us that she has no idea what you are to her?" my father asked calmly in my office. He was sitting on a chair while my Beta stood next to me behind my desk."Not only that, Dad, she seemed as if she had no idea what she was or if she was hiding it purposely. When two of my pack members were harassing her at the fountain, she did nothing. You know how dragons are when they get upset; they never back down or let someone walk away freely. Then I was so happy I had met her that I thought less of the situation, but now that I am thinking about it seriously, it doesn't seem right or make much sense," I answered honestly."That rather seems odd," he whispered."So will you let her know what you are to each other?" he asked."Of course I will, as soon as possible. You know how I have been waiting for her for years. I just hope..." I trailed off and then sighed heavily."What? Are you worried that she may not acknowledge you as her mate?" he asked seriously."To b
Talic's POV Was it ironic or funny to see Edith very scared and holding onto my hand as if her life depended on it while watching a horror movie that dealt with cults and witches?"You know, you are a witch too," I whispered softly.She looked at me seriously and then shook her head. "I may be a witch, but I can never do something like that. Those in the movie are wicked, and they practice intense black magic," she answered, making me chuckle.She, too, used black magic, but I guess it wasn't for bad or evil intentions; that's what made her very different and unique."I am nothing like those witches in the movie. How could they sacrifice little children just to gain immortality? They were even spilling blood like it was nothing. How could they be so horrible?" she asked in a cracked voice, then lowered her gaze to the floor.I was shocked that she was crying over a movie. Did it remind her of her past mistakes?I was glad that only a few minutes were left for it to end because I did
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 POV:I stood at the far end corner of the hall that was lavishly decorated. Everyone was busy chatting while some were eating and drinking happily.I was the only one who stood alone and looked out of place. I couldn't keep my gaze up for more than a few minutes because I didn't want to be accused of something or threatened by another pack member.Although whenever I looked up, I stole a few glances at the Alpha who stood in front of us whispering sweet words into Leah's ear while she blushed.The party had begun, at least that's what I thought, yet they weren't saying anything and half an hour had gone by of us witnessing their flirting.Leah wore a beautiful blue strapless short dress that matched her heels. Her hair was straightened like silk that fell perfectly to her back.Her face was covered in beautiful makeup and red lipstick.Whenever she laughed, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, showing off a diamond ring that the Alpha had gifted her not so long ago on her
Harvey's POVWe stood laughing so hard after shifting into our human form.We all watched with interest as she faked her inability to swim."She sure knows how to fake it, she is a drama queen," Paul said then sighed heavily."Anyway, it was all for fun, Paul, but the Alpha gave us only an hour. I'm sure by now he must have already gone back to the hall. Let's leave the Omega; she will soon join us," I said seriously."You are right, Beta. Warriors, you go ahead and prepare some clothes for us; we will be right there," Paul instructed."Yes, Gamma," they answered together and then shifted into their wolf form and dashed away."Was it worth torturing the poor Omega?" I asked playfully."You know that you love it, Harvey, after all, she was a pain to look at," he answered as I laughed softly.He knew me a little too well.We both couldn't stand the fat Omega bitch. Not because she was fat and weak, but because someone as unworthy as her was mated to our Alpha, who was the very definitio
Jace's POV"What is it? Talk to me, please," I pleaded with my wolf while trying so hard to breathe.Hours had gone by, and he couldn't stop howling in pain. I, too, was in pain physically; I felt like my heart was being slightly squeezed, and my body was trembling.Whiskey mixed with a dose of wolfsbane couldn't work, no matter how I overdosed, because I threw up instantly before I could even swallow the content. My eyes were hurting from the tears that were running down, and my head was aching.I could hear the sound of birds chirping and a few voices outside. It was already morning, and in just a few hours, my Beta was going to come here to check up on me.I needed to force myself on my feet because I never wanted to show anyone my weak side.I groaned in pain as I got to my feet from the ground and moved to the bathroom naked, stumbling a bit. I approached the shower and quickly turned it on. As water began pouring on me, I moved my hand to my aching head."Ridge, please talk to m

Harley's POVI couldn't sleep no matter what.First of all, I felt very nervous and uncomfortable. Secondly, whoever the man was, he wasn't like me because his house was not just a house. It looked like a palace, and there were a lot of houses close to it.Immediately we walked in, the men who were in the passage bowed, shocking me, and two ladies came to my side and asked me to follow them.I wanted to refuse, but when I looked at Sky, who gave me a warm smile, I found myself agreeing. A warm bath was prepared for me, and surprisingly, the ladies wanted to help me bathe. I had to refuse and ask them to step out, which they did.The bathroom was like a freaking pool room designed for a queen. It was very big, and it had all the best cosmetics I had seen from my company. There was a huge wardrobe too on the side, a dressing table, a white and golden bathtub, and a huge shower opposite. The room smelled wonderful, and the water filled in the tub had rose petals and bubbles on top.As I
Maila's POVI hated assholes like him, and I wanted to drag him out of the pack house by his ears. I had to remind myself a few times that he was Jace's family.A few minutes ago, Lillian was calm and collected until he made it obvious how he wanted to use his mate for his own gain. He made us so furious that we couldn't stop ourselves when he wanted to attack Harvey. I completely took over and moved with Lillian's approval.Seeing him bleed and confused was amusing to me."I apologize; you are still family. I didn't have to hit you; it was just instinct that took over," I lied and then turned to look at Jace.He had a pleased expression on his face, and Harvey, too, looked satisfied with my actions."Also, next time before you act, do think twice about what consequences you would face after the act," I said while I sat down next to Jace.He had a pleased expression on his face, and Harvey, too, looked satisfied with my actions."Harvey may be a Beta, but he is also mated to a powerfu
Glen's POVI was panicking, feeling a little scared and very anxious.Days had gone by, and there was no word from any of my men. How was that even possible? There were cameras almost everywhere, yet there was no recording of her leaving the city!She couldn't disappear just like that, no matter how I looked at it, unless she had been helped by someone with power.Who could have helped her was the tricky question. Only a very few guests knew what she was to me. So if someone did help her, it was definitely Jace.I came out of my car slowly and looked at him (Jace).He was standing close to the entrance with his mate and others, looking back at me coldly. I didn't call him to ask if he had a hand in helping my mate disappear because I wanted to look into his eyes and hear his voice if he were to lie to me."Why are you here?" he asked coldly when I approached him."Is that how you welcome your only cousin?" I asked simply."You have never stepped foot in my pack in your life, and out o
Sky's POVSeeing our mate laugh and freely enjoy the ride made both me and my wolf very happy. She was perfect and very beautiful, just like we had always imagined. For years, we waited and longed for her, even though we had it all. A part of us couldn't be filled, no matter what we did. There was a void that made us feel so lonely and unloved, even when we were surrounded by a loyal family, friends, and pack members.I convinced myself a few years ago that I was meant to be alone and that my destiny was cursed. Who could have thought that our mate was not of our kind? She was a dragon; I knew it at first glance.To me, what she was didn't really matter because she was still perfectly made to be my equal and partner. Even if she were human, I would have gladly welcomed her into my arms.When my men reported an intruder who was near the pack's border, I was reluctant to go and see who it was. I asked my Beta to be the one to do that because it was common to hear that a rogue or other
Harley's POV"Sir," I called and held my breath when he raised a brow.There was something about him that was just different and a lot dreamy."I know I messed up at work, but I didn't mean to run away. Also, as you made it clear to me, I have done my best to stay away from you and never appear in front of you. I also apologize for mmm...."I cut my words short in shock when his lips brushed against mine. My eyes widened, and my heart was beating crazily.When I felt his tongue trace my lips, I quickly took a step back, which he reluctantly allowed."What do you think you are doing, Glen!" I screamed in shock.He chuckled softly and then moved at a quick pace, standing in front of me.Before I could warn him off, I was swept off my feet and carried on his shoulder."What the hell are you doing!" I screamed as he walked, ignoring my question.What the hell was he doing? Was this his way of punishment?When he put me down, I quickly looked at him furiously."What do you think you are do
Harley's POV"Miss," an elderly voice called.I blinked and then rubbed my eyes, waking up from my sleep.An elderly man stood in front of me."This is our last stop," he said as I quickly sat upright and looked around.I was on a bus and the only one besides him."I'm sorry, but where am I?" I asked seriously."We are in a country ...""Country! Did you just say country? How did I end up here? The last thing I remember was making a phone call in a booth to my friend Molly," I said in nearly a scream."Miss, you boarded the bus like the rest of the passengers and rested most of the time," he answered."That's impossible. No, how long will it take for me to go back to where I boarded from?" I asked loudly."A week," he answered.I sprang from my seat with my mouth wide open."What? A week!" I exclaimed."Miss, I don't understand why you are reacting like this. But you boarded the bus knowing very well it was going to another country, and you took breaks like everyone else for a few ho
