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
Authors POV...John stood rigidly in the middle of the hotel room, wondering why Athena hadn't arrived just yet. The mask he wore as a disguise made him feel uncomfortable, but he knew well that it was for the best. He couldn't wait any longer and needed to get into action as soon as he could. The alpha might seem distracted now, but with Sonia still being alive, they would definitely find him, and he wouldn't be able to live his life at a free pace any longer.The thought had been to persevere a little longer and get some nice fucks out of Athena. But as much as John wanted to be ridden into oblivion, he still couldn't keep his focus without doing what he felt was right. He had flopped the last time when he had believed someone else would carry out his intentions on his behalf. This time around, it would be completely different."Where the hell is that damn bitch!" He cursed under his breath.It was still morning, but the anxiety he woke with made him entirely on edge.Also, he hoped
Alexander's POV.....I opened my eyes, feeling like there was a heavy weight on my shoulders. My head ached like a hammer was working a nail into it. I tried to check the watch on my wrist and almost thought I had gone blind; everything was a blur. Blinking twice, I got a clearer view. It was past five in the evening."What the fuck!" I exclaimed.Alcohol high is entirely on a different level; my whole body was extremely weak, and I was also super hungry. Looking towards my side, Caleb looked dead with his hands outstretched on his sides and half his eyes open.An idea came to mind as I smirked to myself, lifting myself off the wheelchair. Sometimes I get so comfortable in it that it feels like a part of me already. I twirled my neck feeling some strain on it due to my sleeping position.Wheeling myself towards Caleb, I searched for anything I could use to tickle his sides or dip into his mouth. Nothing appeared in sight, and I had no choice but to return to my table and grab a pen. B
Edwina's POV...I yawned loudly as the effect of the day's run around took its toll on me. I had so much ice cream. All I wanted at the moment was to eat to my fill. With the help of Becca, the kitchen chef made a table full of mouth-watering meals. I couldn't wait to dig in, but at the same time, I was on a waiting spree.Xander and I haven't spoken all day, not because I didn't actually remember to reach out to him. But I was trying to avoid being a bother or getting into his space. Not being sure about your relationship with your supposed husband only makes communication a bit weird. He had told me yesterday that he would be home today.So many things have been going on with him as regards the pack, and I can hardly keep up. Mostly because he isn't ready to share yet. I know my sister is part of the reason behind the stress Xander and the rest of the warriors are enduring, and it makes me feel a bit guilty.My mind is in turmoil about what to do. I don't know whether to put a call
Alexander's POV...I almost shit my pants out to keep my throat from blurting out a terrific laugh. One thing about my drunken state is that I could always deny not knowing what I did and say I have no memory of whatever happened at dinner tonight.There was no need for a seer to tell me Edwina was seething where she was seated. The moment I asked for Becca to be called, she practically shut off all her emphatic hormones towards myself and Caleb. It was more fun knowing that Caleb had no idea what was about to hit him.He had shared a cold look with me when a maid went to get Becca. They didn't know that the show hadn't even started yet. I have had a long day; the least they can all do is indulge in some entertainment and stop acting so solemnly. While Caleb drove me back home, I had dropped a text for Carlos and Jason to join me for dinner.The response had come in less than a minute; I felt excited knowing there was no way the table would remain the same with Becca, Carlos and Caleb
