Edwina's POV...The conversation had been going so well, the food was soul-filling, and my happy state of mind made me feel fly. The sex even made my day more awesome.The question he threw next caught me so off guard I would have choked on the food I was chewing."I didn't get to ask you. How did you come to know about the crescent mark?" Came his counterattack.I didn't realize I had been staring into space until Xander called out my name."What's wrong, Edwina? Why did you space out?""I...I..I'm sorry didn't mean to." I gulped hard, trying to find a better way to reveal the truth to him."Why do I feel like there is more to this?" His tone was getting serious now. Within a second, he had moved from the sweet voice to a more diplomatic tone."Will you let me explain?" I questioned, dropping my cutleries.Folding his arms against his chest, Xander rested back in his chair, staring blankly at me."You should start from the beginning." He drawled out dangerously.I shut my eyes, hopin
Authors POV...Standing in her way, Caleb held the door firmly with his hand, looking her straight in the eye. Ramona pulled at the door with him; she had closed for the day's work and had intended to head out of the office when Caleb had shown up unexpectedly, holding out the door and caving her in."Get the hell out of my way Caleb!" She warned."No, I won't. We ought to have a discussion as normal adults would. If not, we both won't leave here today." Caleb insisted.She rolled her eyes, "I didn't realize the beta had so much free time on his hand. I should come work for you."Taking a chance on her relaxed hand on the door, Caleb pushed her roughly against the wall, kissing her intensely. Not letting her make an escape move, he pinned her against the wall with his left hand, using the right hand to hold up her leg around his waist. In a swift movement, he had ripped her pant off, jabbing his fingers into her already dripping pussy.Ramona gasped, "Caleb...""Tell me to stop," he p
Authors POV...Jason chewed rapidly on a nut, his mind working faster than his mouth. He had been in deep thought for days; it was becoming more disturbing that he had traitors amongst his clan.He has been trying hard to figure out ways to make them pay without necessarily alerting their enemies, which was the plan. But at the same time, being discreet in carrying out such a purge was extremely risky."Should we inform the others who aren't with the mark?" He questioned no one in particular, "what if they are also one of them, but not with the mark?"Scratching his head roughly, almost peeling his scalp. One of the hardest things to do was fight an enemy within. It isn't an easy task."Ah, so much for a leader. Who the hell chews but in this sort of times?" Carlos taunted as he moved swiftly to take some of the nuts.Jason glared at him, "have you lost your mind? Why the hell would you do that?""You seem like you needed some help with it. I'm your brother, you are my brother....""I
Alexander's POV...Having conversations that revolve around personal hurts and betrayal makes my head ache. I had to swallow my pride and plead with Edwina over dinner. She had a point. Just because she has more mind to forgive and let go of grudges doesn't make her foolish or less smart than the rest of us.I sighed as I flipped through the files on my table. I had decided against retiring to bed immediately, spending some time in the study. Edwina had seemed to have a long day and was too tired to keep up with me after she ate her dinner.I was planning to work on some stuff on my laptop when Caleb called, saying Carlos had something important to share.Times without number, I had warned that brute not to bring pack matters to me late at night. But then, he said it was very important, and I needed to hear it. Not like he knew what Carlos had to say.The door clicked open, and I looked up to see Caleb's face contorted in a horrible shape. A child would see him and cry to his or her m
Edwina's POV..."I can't seem to understand Caleb. He goes from being friendly at one point to acting all protective like a mother hen in one minute." Becca complained as she arranged the clothes in my closet.It was one of those days I just loved to laze around and do nothing but listen to gossip from Becca or complaints like she was doing at the moment. I had woken up to a cold bed.Xander had headed out early yet again, and I had forgotten to ask him how the prisoners' training was coming up. Thinking back to last night, it felt as if I was being dramatic.If I must admit, Xander is a good and very lenient person. I couldn't even do as much as pout my discomfort when I was with Ben. I had to act like it was all fine, and I had no problem being treated like shit.The thoughts had been on my mind when I woke up, and I wanted to tell him how sorry I was. But he had gone off before I could even blink my eyes.I sat up on my elbow to get myself back into the present time. "What exactly
Edwina's POV...It felt like I would convulse if I didn't get to sit and have some water. My blood pressure was too high to curtail the details of my environment."Where is my sister?" I screamed out again, almost losing a step.Becca was behind, luckily to hold me still."Calm down Luna. She is being attended to by the theta."Not listening to whatever she had to say, I wiggled myself out of her hold and barged into the room. Sonia laid down, looking so pale with a bandage wrapped around her right foot.The theta was running a check on her, and sensing my presence, she turned to me.Bowing lightly, she held a small smile. "Good day, dear Luna." Seeing my eyes going back and forth between her and my sister, she smiled a bit wider."You don't have to worry, Luna. It's just a sprain; she would be fine. Might take a week or two.""How is the baby?" I asked, my heart in a panic mode."Very fine. Pubs are very strong and exhibit such traits right from the belly. And moreover, her wolf is q
Authors POV...Excitement surged through her as she made her way into the hotel foyer. She had never seen anything like it before.It felt so good to be free and able to do whatever she wanted. It had taken her a whole lot of time and endurance to get to where she was. The need to be like every other girl her age nagged at her subconscious every night and day.Finally, she was here! Athena giggled excitedly as she got in front of the receptionist."Hello, good day. Welcome to Zenith hotel and resort. How may I be of help today?" The beautiful, dimpled receptionist smiled warmly at her."I have an appointment with the occupant in the room..." She paused as she searched through her phone for the room number. "Yes, room 506, please.""Room 506." The receptionist repeated, clicking away on her keyboard. "Give me just a minute to affirm from the occupant." She said.The line rang, and the receiver came alive, "good day, sir. I hope you are enjoying our service. Sorry to be of bother, a you
Authors POV...Athena kept peeping through her purse as she took the ride back to the pack house. She had been expecting a substantial amount of money, but not this much. The man must be a maniac, obviously. He had fucked her like a beast and handed her such a huge amount like it was just a piece of paper.She definitely would go back to him again; he had specifically asked for her contact. Which wasn't so; she had been told people like him don't fuck the same person twice. It's definitely her lucky day.Her mother's sickness was a blessing in disguise to her. She was definitely going to be some ten thousand rich by the end of the month.Just as she got closer to the pack house, she began to panic as to what she should do. Earlier today, she had thought of a way to get out of the pack house without being bothered. After calculating her outing to be just about one hour with no intent to spite, she had added a few doses of sleeping pills into her mistress milk.It was necessary for her
