“You did what?”Asher sighed. His Beta’s jaws was currently hanging off the floor. He had known Victor would strongly oppose, known also that Elise was one of the few creatures on this earth that managed to unnerve the life out of him. The woman creeps Asher out too, and once, maybe he’d liked the dangerous and sexy type. But he was literally a married man now and the only reason Elise would be coming to the pack was so that she can help find Kihara.“You invited her here? Are you mad?” Victor continued loudly.“Keep your voice down okay,” Asher hushed. “You know Victor, that we’ve been doing this ourselves for a while and failing. We need help, and she’s the best help we can get.”Victor shook his head, the look of horror on his face still not clearing. “Of course she’s the best Asher, she’s a fucking bounty hunter, hired killer, assassin,” Victor counted on his fingers, his eyes seemingly widening each time he dropped a finger. “And a fucking were-snake Asher, let’s not forget about
CHAPTER 1:Adrianna had tears in her eyes as she approached the door before her. She had arrived at the Four Stars Hotel because she had received a message from her boyfriend.He said that he was in distress and she had rushed to the hotel."Dave, ahh…" Adrianna could hear the moans and screams of a lady. Dave was her boyfriend and fear gripped her heart.What was he doing there?With scrunched brows, she continued to move forward.The door was ajar and she was able to gain access to the hotel room."Dave…" Adrianna called out in a meek voice. Her voice reverberated alongside the moans of two adults.The room was dimly lit and Adrianna could see the outline of two people on the bed. It was obvious that rigorous sexual activity was going on."Baby, you're so tight…" Adrianna heard those words and it turned out to be Dave's voice.Dave, who happened to be Adrianna's boyfriend, was screwing some lady from God knows where. However, it was obvious that their relationship had ended.On the
CHAPTER 2:"Roman, wait up." Lucas called out as he tried to catch up to Roman. He had been looking at the surroundings and he was disgusted by how everything was."You know how to speed up." Roman answered simply, his eyes scanning his surrounding."What are you doing at the auction house anyway? Does being here help you in your search for Dianne?" Lucas grumbled as he came to stand before Roman."Out of my way, Lucas." He said to his friend and assistant. He was hurt at the mention of the name, Dianne. He had been looking for Dianne, who happened to be his mate. Or so he thought."Common man, you're the next Alpha of the Crescent Pack. You shouldn't be found in a place like this." Lucas tried to dissuade Roman from going into the auction house.However, Roman was determined to go in. He didn't inform Lucas that he had gotten information about Dianne being in the auction house.Though he understood that his father's and the Pack's enemies could take his presence there as a tool for t
CHAPTER 3:"What do you mean?" Roman asked back immediately. He was incredibly confused about what was happening and why Dianne was behaving weirdly."The tattoo…" Adrianna said, in a low voice. She could remember seeing exactly the same tattoo when she saved a man in the forest near the orphanage."It's just a random tattoo." Roman replied with a smile on his face and then grabbed Dianne's hand."What are you doing?" Adrianna asked, she was incredibly irritated by the way he was dragging her continuously."Let me go!! I want to leave." She tried to fight but she was subdued by Roman.He then carried her to the bed and then cupped her beautiful face."I'm sorry, Dianne. I can't let you leave me again." Roman said and then stood up from the bed."Get some rest, I'll get you something to eat. You need energy when you face the pack." Roman declared and then turned to walk out of the bedroom."Wait!" She suddenly called out before he could disappear behind the door."What's your name?" Ad
CHAPTER 4:"What do you mean? I'm not sick for fuck's sake." Adrianna said in a low tone. She was starting to get really annoyed at Roman."I know you're not sick." Roman began, his voice was slightly shaky. And as the minute passed by, he noticed Adrianna's face was getting darker."You lied to me! You said we were going sightseeing and now we are at a hospital. What the hell am I supposed to see here?" Adrianna said, her voice raising an octave."Relax, baby." Roman said in a low and sweet tone, trying to soothe her.The way he called her baby made Adrianna raise her brows in surprise. She felt touched but then she wasn't a fool to let him get away with his lies."Listen, Dian...hmm, you know you were at the auction house, right?" Roman started, the gears in his head were turning as he thought of what to say. He had almost called her Dianne again but he was able to stop himself in the nick of time."Yeah? You got me from the auction house. I'm fucking sure, it's Lucy and Dave that g
CHAPTER 5:The car turned really silent and Adrianna was starting to get really uncomfortable."Is anything wrong with me?" Adrianna asked again. She had asked at first but then Roman didn't care to reply to her.Her eyes turned teary as she wasn't used to getting ignored by Roman."What's wrong with me? Why am I getting affected by his stupid attitude?" She asked herself as she didn't understand why she felt like crying.On the other hand, Roman still had a grim look on his face. He could hear Adrianna's questions clearly but he didn't care to answer. He was battling with a lot inside.For a moment, the car turned silent again as he continued to drive. But then with his heightened senses, he could hear slight sniffing from the back seat."Is she crying?" He asked himself as his heart clenched in pain.He never felt this way for Dianne before. Though he had feelings for Dianne, they were never this intense.His wolf was clawing at his mate bond, "You dimwit, my mate is distressed. You
CHAPTER 6:"Let go of me." Adrianna yelled in fear. Her hands held onto the hand around her neck.She tried to drag the hand away from her neck but it only got worse."You can't overpower me, you witch." Roman's cousin, Lisa, said in a sinister tone and Adrianna gasped. Lisa's strength was too great and she wasn't like Lucy who couldn't even fight for herself.How could Adrianna compare to Lisa's strength?Adrianna couldn't see what was happening as the hallway was too dark. However, she felt that Lisa's voice was incredibly familiar but she couldn't remember when and where she had heard it."L-let go of me…" Adrianna managed to say. Her senses were heightened in the dark and she felt pain like never before. It felt like her life force was being sucked out.Her eyes rolled and at the moment she was about to pass out, Lisa let her go and she burst into a fit of coughs."What the hell is going on here?" Roman yelled as the lights were flicked on.Adrianna's eyes brightened at the sight
CHAPTER 7:"Don't joke around, Lisa." Roman replied through the mind link. He was already facing someone that looks so much like Dianne and now Lisa informed him that Dianne was here."What the fuck is happening." Roman said out loud."Dianne is really out here. The pack members have gathered around her and also the Luna is currently interrogating her as we speak." Lisa said, word for word.Roman didn't wait for her to say anything else before he cut off the mind link. He immediately got hold of Adrianna's hand and ordered, "Come with me.""What? Let go of me. What do you think you're doing?" Adrianna asked as Roman started to drag her down the hallway.Her attitude further confirmed that she was just an imposter and the fact that the real Dianne was back, made Roman eager to get to the truth of the matter."Shut up and stay quiet. You talk too much." Roman yelled as he approached the stairs leading to the common hall.As he approached he could hear the uproars going on there and he k
