Edwina's POV...The first thing to note about Sonia is; she is extremely rude and condescending. Even if I was her younger sister, I'm still the Luna of the pack, and she needed to put some respect for my name. I had not seen her act grateful since I brought her back from the cell. She should be grateful to me for saving her from that hell hole and whatever illusion she had of her life being threatened.Having her stand over me and talk to me, whichever way she liked, was making me very annoyed. I watched as Becca tried her hardest to keep a straight face. Sonia knew exactly what she was doing, trying to trigger my anger. But, the moon goddess had my mind sitting pretty, and I had no intention of getting angry. My day had been quite moody; it was unnecessary to add Sonia's pettiness.Seeing I wouldn't budge, she eventually sat in front of me. Throwing me a death glare."Why the hell did you come here to disrupt my peace?" She threw at me.I rolled my eyes, "can we both pretend to be d
Authors POV...He watched as she chewed on the lobster seductively, dipping it with so much intention into the mayonnaise and sliding her tongue on every inch of it. He couldn't help the smile that spread at her audacious attitude.She was really trying to get him turned on, and she was doing great at it. Caleb felt the urge to grab her from her seat, turn her back against him, and thrust into her while spanking her ass hard.It felt like a dream come true for him to be in the same space with Ramona without having to beef her or hide his feelings. He had fucked and orgasmed with her, and it's becoming a habit. When she hadn't replied to the text he had sent to her at first, he thought she had given up on having anything to do with him. To his amusement, she had returned the text two days later, saying she was game.To impress her, he had booked a reservation at one of the fanciest restaurants around to make her feel special. They hadn't said much to each other since she arrived. Ramon
Authors POV...Becca tapped her feet on the hard floor persistently, biting her lips nervously as she stared into space, awaiting a particular figure.The Luna had sent her on an urgent errand that couldn't be put on hold and, at the same time, needed to be done discreetly. After she and Edwina had left Sonia's temporary home, she had been told to find Carlos to help discover the unfaithful wolves amongst them.Carlos had been busy all day and wasn't chanced to see her until he got off duty in the evening. To avoid missing him, she had taken it upon herself to head down to his office to find him. When she did sight his silhouette figure, he appeared exhausted.She felt guilty sighting him. It was her fault he had to be out here when he could be in his home resting and shedding the day's stress off."I feel so bad right now." Becca confessed, still biting hard on her lips, as he came close.Carlos gave her an amused look. He did look tired but wasn't so exhausted to the point of not ac
Authors POV...Folding her arms over her chest, she stared at him curtly. It was obvious he had something on his mind. However, he resorted to stomping around the house, arranging and rearranging things. Caleb acted like a child that had been deprived of some goodies. He had his neck out with his shoulders sagging after him. Becca thought of actually saying something, but she was pissed at him for acting awkward with Carlos.The last time he had seen them together, his reaction today had been the same. If it wasn't so apparent that he was into another woman, she would have thought he was reacting out of jealousy.Ever since he claimed to be in love, Caleb had become sort of selfish.His feelings made him oblivious to the effect his love-struck heart had on someone like herself. Becca wanted to hold him from behind, hug his back tight to her chest, and fill all of him. He looked so sexy and tempting, unintentionally, her teeth pulled at her lips softly, making her let out an almost ina
Authors POV...Carlos stared out into the open as he watched the Omega warriors train. The discussion he had with Becca from last night had bugged him throughout the night.He thought of possible ways to expose the betrayers amongst them. Even if he had to suspect his most loyal men, he would do all that it takes to protect the night howler's pack.It was a debt he had to pay; his pledge to be loyal to the alpha was never to be broken. Alpha Xander might seem cold from the outside, but he had the most considerate heart, just like his late father.Xander had saved him from the cold hands of the sizzlers during the war. He had taken the hit that made him crippled on his behalf. Whenever he set his eyes on the alpha, it reminded him of what he would have become if he wasn't such a thoughtful leader.All through the war, Xander was more concerned about protecting the lives of his warriors and did his very best to ensure so.It seems surprising that people go around to talk about him as we
Edwina's POV.....I couldn't stay still; the thoughts of Sonia probably lying to get me off her back made the hair on my skin stand. I hoped so bad she wasn't playing mind games.Becca had told me she had already informed Carlos, and he promised to get back to us. Xander didn't notice my distance much since his mind was preoccupied, just like mine.The stress was weighing on him too much, and it bothered me. The need to be of good use was stronger than ever.I have decided to find some other means to expose Ben and his cohorts if Sonia's Intel turns out to be a lie. I had decided to come to the library and distract myself a bit. For every page I turn, my mind turns its own page multiple times, making my heart race every second that passes.How long would it take for him to find out if they truly had the marks? Why is he not forthcoming? Was Sonia lying? I held onto my head. At this rate, I might lose my mind and still not have any solution to the matter at hand.Jolting up like I had
Authors POV...Staring into the evening sky, as it went from Golden orange to dark shades of grey, it soothed her mind. It felt safe being here, even though it hadn't been the best moments. She was paying for her sins; the moon goddess was considerate and had brought a good-hearted sister her way.Sonia smiled at the thought of Edwina's pure joy when she had felt her belly the last time she came visiting.Different thoughts kept her mind awake, thoughts of how it would have been different if she hadn't grown up thinking she was better than her sister because she had a wolf. She thought of how things would have turned out if she had stood up to her father and protected her younger sister, like every elder sister would do.It wasn't a thing of surprise, though. Sonia was an exact version of her father, while Edwina had taken after their dead mother. Her soft-heartedness had been taken for granted by their father. Edwina was barely three days old when their mother died, but till her deat
Alexander POV...Life was beginning to get the better part of me; I wanted to jerk off so bad, and the tension that built up in me for days made me want to fuck into oblivion.It's safe to admit that I do hate being an alpha. Most importantly, I hate how the moon goddess let me get played by my own supposed best friend. His lying, cheating ass is the reason I was having such a hard time. I promise to make Edwina's pussy ache all night when I do get home. I don't give a fuck if the prisoners in training get the hang of it or not. What mattered was me getting my dick soaked in some creamy pussy juice.Caleb had just wheeled me in from the ground, where I had gone to inspect the prisoners in training. I wanted to stretch my legs, but I knew better than to take such a chance. If anything, my office wasn't the right place to show off.The past days and weeks had me reeling from thoughts that could make one get admitted to a mental house or be confined to house arrest for fear of going craz
Authors POV...Becca searched around the kitchen uncomfortably, trying not to meet Caleb's eyes. It was just as Ramona had said; he looked terrible. His eyes obviously were sleep deprived. She had been trying her best to avoid him all week, and it worked. Becca didn't get to see him, just as she had wished.Watching her every move, Caleb walked towards the kitchen island, taking Ramona's seat. He sighed in exhaustion."Until when would you keep doing this?" He asked, holding his head together with his hands.She gulped hard, toying with her fingers. "did you know about Ramona coming?""How was I supposed to know? I haven't spoken to her in weeks. I was surprised myself to see her here."Searching his eyes for any form of lie or pretence, Becca saw the naivety in his eyes. It was obvious Caleb had no idea of Ramona's coming. She inhaled and exhaled at the same time, trying to steady her breath.It wasn't worth brooding on too much; Becca herself was tired of being so far away from him.
Authors POV...Ramona searched around the crowd, trying to see if she would get a hold of Becca, but she seemed to disappear at every chance she got to approach her. One thing about the gathering of night howlers is how merry they all become and how they know how to party till the day ends. Especially since the alpha had finally gotten back to his feet. Annoyed at how hard it was becoming, Ramona made her way towards the podium area to ask a guard where Becca was. The guard directed her to the kitchen.Her heels clattered against the hallways as she manoeuvred her way around the pack house. Getting into the kitchen, Becca was there as she had been told. Standing at the edge of the kitchen was Becca, who seemed so lost in her thoughts. Ramona bit her lip really hard; she felt so guilty.For the past three weeks, Ramona had forced her way into Caleb's home to have him bend to her wheel. Unfortunately, Caleb seems to be much more determined than she was to not give in to her advances.Ev
Edwina's POV...For what seemed like a lifetime, he didn't say a word. I was getting bothered, and my standing didn't feel good, considering my position. I would like to think that Xander reads my mind. Almost in a split second, he had dusted a chair that sprouted out from among the piles of antiques in the space and had me seated on it.I gulped nervously, feeling bad for thinking ill of him. "Xander..."He held a hand up, "please let me finish." He pleaded."Okay." I let out in a whisper.Still standing, Xander had his back turned to me, obviously trying to hide the tears in his eyes. "over the years, as I grew, I leaned on Ben as he was the only person really close to me. I felt safe trusting him with all of me. Also, the idea of family grew within me so much. I couldn't wait to have a Luna. When I did come of age, I pleaded hard with the moon goddess to show me my desired mate. When she showed you to me, I was too greedy and thought I was doing it for the sake of the pack. Eventua
Edwina's POV...I stomped my foot through the hallway in annoyance, indecisive as to why my emotions were spluttering all over the place. I could blame it on pregnancy, knowing quite well it wasn't just about that.Tears laced my eyes as I bounced off the walls. Seeing him stand in all of his glory, like the Greek god most books describe, was overwhelming. In all truth, Xander is a good-looking man. Every of his body structure, from the chiselled jawline to his legs, made my clit ache.I was wet beyond measure, and if he slipped right inside me this minute, I was sure to orgasm right on the spot. I feel angry at myself for having such thoughts, considering how much he had disregarded me. But what to do when I miss him so much? I ache for his touch every night, and my urges had mounted since I got pregnant.Probably, just maybe, I would have held back on my sexually consumed thoughts if he wasn't looking so much like a snack. It's been a month, and I must say every day is more than ten
Alexander's POV...I shifted uncomfortably in the wheelchair, eager to stand up and not have to deal with the facade I had been living in anymore. Glancing to my side, I tried to keep eye contact with Edwina. It was obvious she was doing everything she could to avoid my ears. A week after she found out about my true disabled state, I tried to get on her good book, but she never paid me any mind.I had thought coming out to the pack members would be easy, as I had informed Caleb to arrange the process after a week when I might have gotten back with Edwina. To my disappointment, three weeks went by with myself and Caleb wallowing in self-pity and none of our women paying us any mind. For myself and Edwina, we have been going back and forth on her forgiving me.But she had been really adamant about not wanting to talk to me. The last time I tried to reach out to her, she had told me it would take her a very long time to accept the new me, as she had put it. Sounds frustrating, right? I m
Edwina's POV...I rolled to the side of the bed, trying to find a comfortable side of the bed to rest in, but I couldn't. I had been awake since about seven am, but I couldn't find myself standing up from the bed. I just wanted to remain there, most especially to avoid seeing Xander. At the same time, I was aching badly for food and a nice cup of tea. My baby and I had awoken with a craving for food.Turning around to get a hold of my phone, I attempted to dial Becca when there came a knock on the door. As I got off the bed reluctantly to open it, I hoped it wouldn't be Xander. Nothing has prepared me for such a discussion this morning.Opening it, I found Becca by the door with a platter of food. "Oh my goodness, Becca! You are godsent." I muttered, opening the door widely.My eyes glazed at the sumptuous sight of the breakfast of bacon, toast, scrambled egg, sausage, some freshly made juice, and a cup of tea to cap it all."How in the world did you do this? Do you live in my mind?"
Authors POV...Caleb scoffed in irritation as he threw daggers at Ramona with his eyes. It had been hard for him to get over how low she had stooped to get back at him. Having her appear in his home looking all relaxed made him boil terribly. He had just taken a pill to suppress the headache threatening to split his head. The moment his eyes landed on Ramona, it seemed to be coming back with full force."Answer the fucking question. Why are you here?" Caleb blurted again, his eyes catching sight of Xander wheeling himself towards his room.Ramona sat with gait, staring at Caleb with a straight face. She had no intention of backing away from fighting for his attention. She had known the kind of ruckus the video and document she had sent to Becca would cause. However, she was less bothered about it and couldn't care less about what anyone thought of her. She wants a home with Caleb and being Ramona, there is no way she would let it go that easily without a fight.Becca was way older tha
Alexander's POV...Eyeballing his ass out, I turned my back to him, trying to wash up the used cups. One thing I loved to do was handle my chores. Before I got confined to the wheelchair, I used to swing by Ben's place to crash after a long day at work. We end up cooking and washing up ourselves. They were sweet memorable moments. I wanted to distract myself from responding to Caleb, or should I say, I was trying to gather my thoughts."Why aren't you saying anything?" He pressed on, raising his head fully now."Can you not." I inhaled deeply, scratching the back of my head. "I hope you haven't taken my advice of keeping something from your woman because I think that has cost me my small family."Caleb snorted, mumbling under his breath. "guess that's too late. But tell me, what happened?""Edwina saw me on my feet," I told him.He started with a perplexed look on his face, "Saw you on your feet? How did that happen?"I rolled my eyes, sitting my butt on a stool. I sighed, "so, yester
Alexander's POV...Woke up to a cold side of the bed. The bags underneath my eyes were enough to act as an airbag during an accident. They were so heavy it felt like my eyes were under pressure.I had waited up for Edwina to return to the room, but it was obvious that wouldn't be happening. I was surprised to find out when I drifted off to sleep, though.My mind wobbled, and all I wanted was to stick to the bed and never have to come out of the room. Different emotions flowed through me. Now that Edwina knows my truth, I feel compelled to let the pack members know too. Truth is, judging by Edwina's reaction, I'm really scared the pack members, too, would be disappointed.I groaned inwardly while pulling at my hair. I can't believe this shit is happening right now; I thought everything was falling into place, and I would show myself to my woman at the right time. I can tell she hates me now and compares me to that fucking Ben. Now I have stooped so low to cursing the dead. I might go b
