Alexander's POV...The number was unbelievable. If I had been told that I had almost half of the pack members being allies with Ben, I would have thwarted the saying. But, right here in my face beneath the hill we hid behind were night howler's pack members who had chosen to betray their homeland for a traitor.Anger simmered through me at the thought of how insensitive they were. I was still their alpha, and they had the audacity to go behind my back and betray me in such a manner. I understand their excuse was my being unable to walk. But joining hands with Ben to destroy not just me but the entire pack was so unreasonable.I balled my hands into a fist, angry at myself and mostly Ben. Ben, for being a two-faced cheating bastard. For deciding to be an irresponsible friend and beta, including being selfish and nonchalant towards the betterment of the pack."What's wrong?" Caleb asked, his face creased in worry."I just can't understand why any of them would be so keen on selling the
Ben's POV..."Fuck!!" I exclaimed, getting pissed at everything. All of the lines that I had been trying all morning, none of them were going through. Is it possible those bastards turned their back on me?I didn't know what I was supposed to think. Before now, none of them had ever seen my calls and not responded immediately. Did Xander catch on?No, I doubt that. He is too preoccupied with thinking the attacks would actually come from the outside.I have waited too long. The intention was to let Sonia deliver my child first, but it was taking too long, and I was becoming impatient. To even think that filthy alpha called Bethel has relaxed so much, he talks less about the attack.That idiot needs to be in a reform home. I have never seen someone so addicted to pussy and booze. But I must say, he does know how to handle his pack and take care of them appropriately. He handled his businesses well, but not mine, and that is where it occurred to me that I needed to take these steps mysel
Authors POV...Caleb eased himself into the chair, working his head and neck in a circle. Looking through his wristwatch, he realized it was only eight am, and he was already fagged out from all the heavy loading he had indulged in this early morning.Deep down, he felt grateful for the turnout of the planned attack. It would have been a huge mess if they had caught on to the trick earlier. He was still reaching out to his spy at sizzlers pack, and there was no actual news on what they intended to do yet. It worried him since they were also on low-key, and no one else aside from them knew of their plans. The thought of the sixers also being extra careful only made him more sensitive. However, he was grateful that the moon goddess had been kind towards them.Finally getting a hold of his thought, his mind returned to the previous day and what had taken place. If anyone had told him he was going to be entangled between two women he really cared about, he would have argued against it.He
Authors POV...Becca stretched lightly, letting out a soft yawn. The advantage of having a caring and emphatic Luna was being allowed to have a time out when there was a need for it. She had no bad thoughts against Sonia, but she could bet if she had been in Edwina's shoes, there was no way she would have gotten time off work.Standing up, she stared out her window; she had cried herself to sleep into the late hours of the night and ended up waking up quite late. It was unlikely of her, though, but at the same time, she needed to let out her feelings and be done with it.There was no actual need to bother about work; Edwina had instructed her to resume whenever she felt okay. Checking the clock by her bedside, it was past nine, almost heading towards ten. Deciding not to mope around like a fresh widow all day, she got into the bathroom to change.Becca refused to misuse the chance given to her, so she got dressed and stepped out of the room. The packhouse was bustling as usual, but th
Authors POV...Becca and Edwina shared a look, the same thought running through their minds."What's going on?" Edwina asked the maid.Trying to calm her breath, the maid heaved. "He had entered the packhouse and headed straight to ma'am Becca's room. I guess he couldn't find her there and checked the kitchen. I don't know what went wrong, but in a few seconds, he had begun to raise a bit of his voice, telling us to find you if we knew what was good for ourselves." She rasped in one breath.Edwina giggled lightly, nodding towards the maid, "you should go. Thanks."The maid bowed, running off. Edwina then looked toward Becca with an amused glance. "Seems someone is back to his senses.""What makes you think he is here for reconciliation? What if he just wants to tell me off." Becca replied, sounding uncertain."You are just feeling paranoid for nothing. Please go to him and let your heart out.""My heart is running.""You are nervous, and you are letting it show on your face.""I'm rea
Edwina's POV...Watching Sonia eat her dead-ass food combo made me almost want to puke, but it felt really sweet seeing her eat with so much relish. She almost looked like a five-year-old eating a bowl of candy."Stop staring so hard like that!" Sonia said, her voice muffled by the pancake she was chewing on.I laughed, "you should know there is no way I wouldn't stare. Like, who eats all of this....?" I pointed at the leftover. "You sure you won't get a belly ache?""It's not my fault; the baby wants it." She argued."Really now, " I taunted.She held out her tongue at me, making me smile. I leaned back into the chair, looking towards the door.Somehow, I was expecting Becca to spring through the door and let me in on whatever it was Caleb had come to discuss. But she hadn't gotten back for close to thirty minutes now. Somehow I was getting excited that they might have sorted out their differences, and Caleb might have professed his feelings."What's up with you?" Sonia's voice seepe
Edwina's POV...Pardon me to say this, even if it might sound absurd, but Becca is really getting me confused. She had said initially from the non-english statement she made the other time that he was only pitying her.I had thought Caleb had gone on a speech-making spree trying to tell her why they couldn't date or at least fuck each other. But hearing now that he had made an attempt to kiss her sounded like a good deal to me.Or is it not?I cleared my throat, trying to wrap my head around it. "why are you angered? Shouldn't you be glad he is coming around as expected?" I hoped my question didn't sound stupid. Even if it did, she wasn't quite paying attention."Caleb was only trying to ease his conscience, not because he felt that way." Becca clarified.I guess my cloudy head could finally understand what it was she was trying to say. I know why she was upset now, and I repeat again, Caleb is definitely an asshole, and I might start losing my respect for him at this point."What the
Alexander's POV.....The early hours of the morning had taken a huge toll on me, and I could practically murder anyone who did as much as step on my feet. All the while, Caleb had been acting weird, but I didn't push to ask since I already knew what was up with him.I guess we all have something eating us up one way or the other, and I am trying as much not to let the situation of the pack betrayers get to me. The moment I got back into my office, I locked the door, got out of my wheelchair and began a punching spree on the poor couch placed in the centre. Not getting enough from it, I indulged in a rigorous number of pushups. I wanted to burn myself out and not get to think of anything. The intention was to remain blank for as long as I could.It didn't work, and I wanted to shift so badly; it was a tug of war between my wolf and I. There was no way I would get away without being noticed. I had to indulge in a whole bottle of vodka to numb my mind, and it felt better by the time I wa
