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
Edwina's POV...Exhaustion reeked through the whole of my body as I threw myself into the bed. Spending the whole day next to Sonia was one hell of a draining job. I really appreciate the caretakers and helpers who stay by sick people.My back aches badly. I had been sitting all day, ensuring that she didn't move her leg too much and end up straining it. Becca had offered to sit in place, but I had declined. And also, I told Athena to rest for the day since she was all out looking after her sick mother.I hoped to the moon goddess that my nephew or niece was doing safely. I must admit I was really scared about something going wrong with them.Now to the question that has been lingering in my mind all day? Shouldn't I try to birth a child now? Ben had put me on a contraceptive pill to prevent me from carrying his child, as the fear of me birthing a child with no wolf scared him so much.I wonder if Xander also thought so of me, even though I don't feel that attached to him yet. I don't
Edwina's POV.....My heart was in my mouth as my hands touched the doorknob. I prayed briefly to the goddess that my ass doesn't get roasted for infidelity. Opening the door, I almost fell to the ground in gratitude when Becca was the one at the door.She looked worried, "you okay, Luna? You look like you have seen a ghost or something. Is everything fine?"Letting out a relieving breath, I strolled weakly to the bed. The robe I adorned hurriedly had been worn wrongly.Becca still had an unconvinced look on her face. She thought something was actually wrong."Stop worrying, Becca. I'm fine. Is there something you need to tell me?" I asked her.Nodding her head, "yes, please. The alpha has been trying to reach you on your line. But you weren't picking up; he got worried and called me. I had to explain to him how your day had been. So, we guessed you might be asleep. I just thought to come to check on you real quick.""That's so thoughtful of you, Becca. Thank you. Did he tell you why h
Alexander's POV...Times like this are when I start to ask myself why I chose to be an alpha instead of just living an ordinary life like every other wolf in the pack. Coupled with the fact that my legs were cramped, I had to stay put in the wheelchair. I needed to stretch them so badly, but I haven't been alone in like a minute.At the same time, I couldn't complain; it's nice being an Alpha.The four of us, Caleb, Carlos, Jason, and I, had decided to invite Carlos's hacker buddy over to help out with our plans in full gear. Working on it overnight seemed like the best time to do so since we didn't want to raise any suspicion.So far, the prisoners have gotten to the level at which they can fight off an enemy; that was just about enough to help protect the pack from the attacks of Ben and his counterparts.The stunt-looking guy said to be called Derek, seems not to be much of a talker. After mouthing some greetings, he had set to work, arranging his instruments.I had tried calling E
Alexander's POV...I checked my wristwatch, which was beginning to itch badly. It was 3am in the morning. I looked at the other occupants in the room; they had their heads hanging in between chairs, dozing off. Except for Derek, though, that little man looked wide awake and refreshed. I wanted to ask if he was a night owl.I had dozed off a bit too, but my mind was too preoccupied to let sleep rule over me."Bingo!" Derek yelled out, startling not just me but almost making the other three run off their chairs.They looked hilarious, warriors who couldn't hold themselves down, all in the name of sleep."What the hell, man!" Carlos whined in his sleepy voice. "Could you not yell like that? I almost sprained my neck just now.""Keep your tone leveled," Jason added.The both of them seemed really upset for being woken up unexpectedly. But, as usual, Caleb looked unfazed; he seemed so relaxed one would ask again if he ever dozed off a few minutes ago.Derek chewed on a fry. I had a feeling
Authors POV...Becca sat still in the dark, her thoughts hovering around the room. She had been woken up by her message notification. Checking the message, it turned out to be from Carlos, apologizing for not checking on her. He explained he had been very busy and asked how her day had gone.It felt good to have someone not so familiar check up on you. It had been a long while since she had such attention to herself. Since the death of her husband, her life had been built around the packhouse and Caleb.It makes her feel bad for herself; she wanted to be free from the feelings of constantly thinking about him and wallowing in self-pity. If things were different, she would definitely love to mingle with other people outside her circle.Lifting up her curtain, she stared outside. It was almost daybreak, and she didn't feel like getting out of bed just yet.Still facing the window, she wished she could be as brave as Edwina by admitting her feelings and looking for a way to free herself
