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
Alexander's POV...To think that I actually wanted to help and maybe have a little fun at it. Now, everyone thinks I am the villain. The rest of dinner ended up awkward with Caleb's sudden exit. And here was Edwina digging her heels into the floors like she intended to dent a hole in it."Sorry to say this, alpha, but that was so childish of you." She said as she fumbled with the rope of her dress.Since we got in about ten minutes ago, all she did was mumble under her breath, probably trying to find the right words to say to me. All the while, I was getting turned by way of her body. I wasn't really thinking straight anymore; getting my dick inside of her seemed like the only thing I would like to indulge in.I threw my hands out, covering my hardness with the duvet as I leaned on the bed frame. "What did I do wrong?""How could you invite Caleb and Carlos for dinner? I know you must have been told what transpired between your friend and Becca this morning. But you still decided to a
Authors POV...Digging his paws into the soil, Caleb growled. He had no idea what the dinner was all about. But one thing was certain; even if it would take his life, he would never let Carlos be with Becca. It might sound selfish, but he doesn't care.Caleb had driven back to his house like a raging bull, parking the car wrongly. Rather than head back into the house, he headed straight for the woods running as fast as his legs could carry him far into the woods. He had no idea what he was thinking of. Seeing Becca made his heart clench, and he couldn't gather enough courage to speak to her.His emotions weren't in place. There was no exact explanation for what he was feeling. He headed back towards the house after exhausting himself. Caleb's belly growled in protest. Entering the back of the house, he grabbed a towel from the restroom downstairs to cover up his naked body after shifting, hoping to take a cold shower in his room.Caleb almost backed into the wall when he found Ramona
Ben's POV...If I could chew off Bethel's head, I would definitely do it with no remorse. How in the world does someone play so dumb? What alpha doesn't prepare against emergencies? This is why I would keep saying it; I'm far off a better Alpha than this made-by-birth weakling.Just when I thought it was right about time for me to attain my victory and conquer the night howler's pack when they least expected, an epidemic broke out due to alpha Bethel's recklessness.One of the prostitutes he brings from outside the pack had a virus named canine distemper. It's not a recent disease, but it's rare. It had first broken out in a werewolf pack that had gone extinct about a century before I was born.It had been made known to be a contagious viral disease. Each pack's disease control set up is expected to do all it can by being vigilant enough to ensure the rest of the pack members are protected from any sort of illness.Even though it had been a long while, it broke out again about a decad
