Nora’s POV“Do you know him?” Mila whispered. I nodded with a big smile on my face.“That is Hercules. He is Alpha Michael’s brother. Dylan’s uncle,” she smiled as she understood. “He is hot,” Mila said, and I burst into laughter. The courtroom was as noisy as the market. When I turned my gaze to Jake, I shuddered. Any minute now, he was going to do something horrible. I knew him well enough. Truly, Jake never changed.Jake took a gun from one of the guards and shot in the air. Everyone gasped, and the courtroom was as quiet as a graveyard.“Now I can have your attention,” Jake smirked. I stilled. What was Jake going to do now? Jake can be impulsive. And to make matters worse, Hercules was triggering him with that darned smile on his face."Hercules, do you know the punishment for trespassing?” Jake said. The smirk never left his face. Everyone gasped. I was confused.“What is the crime of trespassing?” I asked Mila. She gave me an odd look. And if I were not tensed up, I would have l
Michael’s POVI wish I had a camera to capture the look on Jake’s face. He definitely did not see this coming.“Seize him!” Jake yelled. His guards came for me, and immediately Zen and my people stood from where they had been hiding.“One more step, and I will put this thing through your heads." Zen growled from up. People screamed.I have never seen Zen that serious. I smirked.My people were everywhere. I wondered how Zen had gotten up there, though.“Incompetent fools! Bastards! How did they get into the pack?” Jake grabbed a guard by the neck and pushed him away. I looked around. My pack was everywhere."Hmm, Jake, that is not a nice way to treat a friend. We have not met in a long time,” the people gasped at my statement. Not many of them know that I have a history with Jake."Well, Michael, if you must know, I do not want to see you; now get away,” he scowled.“No Come on here; I just can’t leave. I mean, I still have not gotten what I came here for—I shut my eyes and relieved al
Nora’s POVThe maids carried the few things I had managed to own into a beautifully furnished room. The windows were high. It was the kind I saw in human-world hotels. My financial status never let me go near. I only fantasized about them from afar. There was a purple rug at the center of the room, which was circled by sparkling white fur-like seats, shaped in the form of love. I touched them, and it was as soft as a feather. I could sleep all day in these. We left the room, which I presume was the sitting room, into a room that had everything in Lilac. Just like my room at Michael’s house. As I looked around, I suddenly felt at home.Dylan ran and flopped down on the bed. "Oh, it’s so soft!” I chuckled."Mum, see, they also have a hot tub and a shower, just like home!” Dylan screamed as I dropped my bags."Dylan, be careful,” I said, afraid that he might soon get himself injured from all that running around. It was when I followed him that I realized that the room was gigantic. It wa
Nora’s POVAll through that day, Michael tried to get me alone with him, but I evaded him. Though I knew that one of these days he would have his way,.Michael suggested we have a party before the battle begins. It was to take place in his quarters. Mia helped me to get ready. She put on my makeup and dressed me in this light blue body-hugging gown."Mia, are you sure this is not too much?” I asked for the hundredth time while staring at myself in the mirror. I looked different. My hair was in a high ponytail. And my lips were red.“Don’t you dare clean that, Nora?” Mia said this while coming into the room. After a lot of fussing, I agreed to keep the hair, but I changed the color of the lipstick to pink.Music burst from the speakers as we got in.“Come on in,” a girl said sheepishly. My best guess was that she was a bit drunk. The people swarm like bees around the house. I stared at the girl, and I could swear that I had never seen her before.“I thought this party was for the Nexto
Nora’s POV"Nora, open up; we need to talk!” Michael knocked on my door.Silence.“I know you are in there,” he said.“I can see your light on,” he said. Now I have been caught. I closed my eyes and stood up."Wait, I am coming; I am not decent!” I yelled back. I dragged a robe and dashed to the door. I took deep breaths up to three times before I opened the door.“I was in the shower,” I lied. Michael‘s eyes went straight to my hair. He caught me. He didn’t say it, though, and I was grateful for that. I didn’t know what to say to prove my innocence.We stood for like something more than a minute, staring at each other before I spoke. That is the longest I managed to hold eye contact with him.“You are here,” I said, looking away as I let out a breath. Michael always made my heart race when he was close by."Yes, I am,” he said in a low voice. “Won’t you let me in?”"Oh, please, come in.” I moved aside. Michael walked in, and his cologne filled my nostrils. It was woody and masculine.
Michael’s POVI flung my eyes open immediately when I heard the noise. I stood up to find out that it was a phone ringing. I turned around to find out that it was my phone. I was surprised to find out that it was unscathed after what I had been through.“Hello” “Hello Michael, it’s me, Dean.”Dean was a friend of mine, but he wasn’t close. We were more on the surface than friends. What I found surprising was why he was calling me.“Hello?” I couldn’t hear a thing. It turns out that the phone was actually bad. So I had to make use of the phone I saw in the house.“Hello Dean, tell me what happened,” I said.“Michael, I know this would come as a surprise to you. I have been trying your number for weeks now. What happened?” he asked.“I don’t know if I should tell you this.” I paused for a bit and told him everything. I was attacked by rogues on my way to the human side to find my heir.“Wow, that’s a lot to take in. I guess by now, your brother would be worried sick, looking for you,”
Malia's POVGetting into the Vivian Pack was one hell of a task. After I helped Michael and the pack swim in through that river, we were caught by a lady. She was a top-ranking official in the Vivian Pack.On a closer look, I remembered her when I was brought into Jake’s pack and met Mila.“Alpha Jake is in the court now; I could just alert him, and you all will be put out in the dungeon,” she said, smacking her lips. I boiled. Who the hell did she think she was anyway? I scowled at her. When she turned to me and smiled, I knew she recognized me.She threatened that she would call the guards on us. We begged, but she was adamant."Okay, I will do anything, please.” Zen begged.She said that the only condition was that she would take me as a personal maid.“What!” I shrieked, but Zen stared at me. I shut up. He finally pulled me aside and begged me to agree. I finally did when Michael began to beg.I left with her after she gave Michael ideas on how to enter the court. Hercules was to
Nora’s POV“What?” I muttered.“Yes. I mean, if you want this to stop, you have to take her place.” Jake smiled in a wicked way. I looked around me. The Nexton pack was not happy with me. Claire smiled. Lara giggled with a girl. It was while I was scanning the faces of people that I saw Michael. He leaned against a table. Michael shot me a hard look. I had never seen Michael this serious. The longer I stared at him, the more he looked more like a stranger. It was then that I realized I had messed up. I was stupid to have spoken up. I am an idiot, but yet again, I don’t think I will ever live with the guilt if anything bad happens to Mila.I put my chin up and frowned.“Then fine. If that is what it is going to take to stop bullying her,” I walked to the tree as Mila stared at me like I was some alien.“Move aside.” I gently pushed her away.“What are you doing?” she said in a low voice as she stared into my eyes, begging me to say something contrary to what I was doing.“Go back, Mila
