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
Alexander's POV...I was practically giggling like an excited five-year-old to the annoyance of Caleb. I thought it was of general knowledge that when you are angry at night, the morning comes with a new day and all, your anger dissipates, and you become brand new.Nothing in this world applies to Caleb, and it really sucks. He came into the office looking beat as if he would really love to wipe me off the earth if given a chance to.I didn't do anything wrong; everyone was just acting weird. I could have sworn Becca had her nose up when she greeted me this morning. Their sour mood had almost put me into a recluse but seems like the goddess was on my side. I came to the office to a piece of good news, it might be considered bad to others, but it made me really happy.If glares could cut a hole through one's body or heart, Caleb's would have definitely ripped tons of it through me."Can you quit staring at me that way? You look like an outdated version of the boogieman." I blinked.He
Alexander's POV...This can't be happening right now. To think that I was really trying to make them see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a feeling Caleb has influenced the young men to be unresponsive."Can one of you say something please." I eventually blurted when they weren't saying anything.Carlos was the first to speak, scratching the back of his head, "it's a great idea, but don't you think we are moving a bit too loose?"I watched each of them closely as they tried to avoid my eyes. Maybe I was moving a bit too fast, but is it possible that none of them caught the vibe I was feeling in the process?"So, what are you all mute for?" I asked."You know how rampant canine distemper can go, I feel like we should be more conscious before putting our men out after the sizzlers get through the lockdown." Jason tried to explain."Aside from that, do you think two weeks is enough to conquer the whole of sizzlers pack? Considering that most of our warriors are still in traini
Edwina's POV...I woke feeling rejuvenated; there is always something about sex with Xander. It's another way of easing off stress and exercising the whole length of you. I stretched with a wide smile playing on my lips.His side of the bed was cold; he must have left a long time ago. It was nice to have him around at night after what seemed like a long time. Just as I stepped out of bed, a soft knock came from the other side of the door."You can come in," I called out to whoever was at the door, knowing the door wouldn't be locked since Xander had stepped out first."Good morning Luna." Becca greeted with a huge grin on her face."Becca!" I called out like it had been ages we had seen. But In the real sense, it had been a long while since Becca came into the room to help me dress up. I was either up early, or Becca was having a down moment. It was nice to see everything falling into place."Is it safe to say I have missed being here every morning?" Becca looked around the room, taki
Edwina's POV...The sounds I heard after Becca's announcement sounded like a cathedral bell. The earth moved underneath me, and all that mattered was whether Sonia would be okay.We practically ran the rest of the way to the guest quarters, hurrying to Sonia's room. I found her seated on the couch, her legs outstretched on the table. Athena was by her side, blowing her some air with a large hand fan. It looked amusing, considering the fact that the air conditioner was on full blast."What the hell happened?" I asked, feeling my heart moving out of place.Sonia gave me a swift glance before turning her head to the side. She obviously isn't ready to respond to me. Instead, I turned my attention to Athena. My forehead was sweaty."Can someone say something! We practically ran miles to get here."Athena bowed her head a bit. "She had some contractions and was screaming so loud. I got confused and didn't know what to do."I looked towards Becca with a frustrated glance; I slumped into the
Authors POV...Becca searched around the kitchen uncomfortably, trying not to meet Caleb's eyes. It was just as Ramona had said; he looked terrible. His eyes obviously were sleep deprived. She had been trying her best to avoid him all week, and it worked. Becca didn't get to see him, just as she had wished.Watching her every move, Caleb walked towards the kitchen island, taking Ramona's seat. He sighed in exhaustion."Until when would you keep doing this?" He asked, holding his head together with his hands.She gulped hard, toying with her fingers. "did you know about Ramona coming?""How was I supposed to know? I haven't spoken to her in weeks. I was surprised myself to see her here."Searching his eyes for any form of lie or pretence, Becca saw the naivety in his eyes. It was obvious Caleb had no idea of Ramona's coming. She inhaled and exhaled at the same time, trying to steady her breath.It wasn't worth brooding on too much; Becca herself was tired of being so far away from him.
Authors POV...Ramona searched around the crowd, trying to see if she would get a hold of Becca, but she seemed to disappear at every chance she got to approach her. One thing about the gathering of night howlers is how merry they all become and how they know how to party till the day ends. Especially since the alpha had finally gotten back to his feet. Annoyed at how hard it was becoming, Ramona made her way towards the podium area to ask a guard where Becca was. The guard directed her to the kitchen.Her heels clattered against the hallways as she manoeuvred her way around the pack house. Getting into the kitchen, Becca was there as she had been told. Standing at the edge of the kitchen was Becca, who seemed so lost in her thoughts. Ramona bit her lip really hard; she felt so guilty.For the past three weeks, Ramona had forced her way into Caleb's home to have him bend to her wheel. Unfortunately, Caleb seems to be much more determined than she was to not give in to her advances.Ev
Edwina's POV...For what seemed like a lifetime, he didn't say a word. I was getting bothered, and my standing didn't feel good, considering my position. I would like to think that Xander reads my mind. Almost in a split second, he had dusted a chair that sprouted out from among the piles of antiques in the space and had me seated on it.I gulped nervously, feeling bad for thinking ill of him. "Xander..."He held a hand up, "please let me finish." He pleaded."Okay." I let out in a whisper.Still standing, Xander had his back turned to me, obviously trying to hide the tears in his eyes. "over the years, as I grew, I leaned on Ben as he was the only person really close to me. I felt safe trusting him with all of me. Also, the idea of family grew within me so much. I couldn't wait to have a Luna. When I did come of age, I pleaded hard with the moon goddess to show me my desired mate. When she showed you to me, I was too greedy and thought I was doing it for the sake of the pack. Eventua
Edwina's POV...I stomped my foot through the hallway in annoyance, indecisive as to why my emotions were spluttering all over the place. I could blame it on pregnancy, knowing quite well it wasn't just about that.Tears laced my eyes as I bounced off the walls. Seeing him stand in all of his glory, like the Greek god most books describe, was overwhelming. In all truth, Xander is a good-looking man. Every of his body structure, from the chiselled jawline to his legs, made my clit ache.I was wet beyond measure, and if he slipped right inside me this minute, I was sure to orgasm right on the spot. I feel angry at myself for having such thoughts, considering how much he had disregarded me. But what to do when I miss him so much? I ache for his touch every night, and my urges had mounted since I got pregnant.Probably, just maybe, I would have held back on my sexually consumed thoughts if he wasn't looking so much like a snack. It's been a month, and I must say every day is more than ten
Alexander's POV...I shifted uncomfortably in the wheelchair, eager to stand up and not have to deal with the facade I had been living in anymore. Glancing to my side, I tried to keep eye contact with Edwina. It was obvious she was doing everything she could to avoid my ears. A week after she found out about my true disabled state, I tried to get on her good book, but she never paid me any mind.I had thought coming out to the pack members would be easy, as I had informed Caleb to arrange the process after a week when I might have gotten back with Edwina. To my disappointment, three weeks went by with myself and Caleb wallowing in self-pity and none of our women paying us any mind. For myself and Edwina, we have been going back and forth on her forgiving me.But she had been really adamant about not wanting to talk to me. The last time I tried to reach out to her, she had told me it would take her a very long time to accept the new me, as she had put it. Sounds frustrating, right? I m
Edwina's POV...I rolled to the side of the bed, trying to find a comfortable side of the bed to rest in, but I couldn't. I had been awake since about seven am, but I couldn't find myself standing up from the bed. I just wanted to remain there, most especially to avoid seeing Xander. At the same time, I was aching badly for food and a nice cup of tea. My baby and I had awoken with a craving for food.Turning around to get a hold of my phone, I attempted to dial Becca when there came a knock on the door. As I got off the bed reluctantly to open it, I hoped it wouldn't be Xander. Nothing has prepared me for such a discussion this morning.Opening it, I found Becca by the door with a platter of food. "Oh my goodness, Becca! You are godsent." I muttered, opening the door widely.My eyes glazed at the sumptuous sight of the breakfast of bacon, toast, scrambled egg, sausage, some freshly made juice, and a cup of tea to cap it all."How in the world did you do this? Do you live in my mind?"
Authors POV...Caleb scoffed in irritation as he threw daggers at Ramona with his eyes. It had been hard for him to get over how low she had stooped to get back at him. Having her appear in his home looking all relaxed made him boil terribly. He had just taken a pill to suppress the headache threatening to split his head. The moment his eyes landed on Ramona, it seemed to be coming back with full force."Answer the fucking question. Why are you here?" Caleb blurted again, his eyes catching sight of Xander wheeling himself towards his room.Ramona sat with gait, staring at Caleb with a straight face. She had no intention of backing away from fighting for his attention. She had known the kind of ruckus the video and document she had sent to Becca would cause. However, she was less bothered about it and couldn't care less about what anyone thought of her. She wants a home with Caleb and being Ramona, there is no way she would let it go that easily without a fight.Becca was way older tha
Alexander's POV...Eyeballing his ass out, I turned my back to him, trying to wash up the used cups. One thing I loved to do was handle my chores. Before I got confined to the wheelchair, I used to swing by Ben's place to crash after a long day at work. We end up cooking and washing up ourselves. They were sweet memorable moments. I wanted to distract myself from responding to Caleb, or should I say, I was trying to gather my thoughts."Why aren't you saying anything?" He pressed on, raising his head fully now."Can you not." I inhaled deeply, scratching the back of my head. "I hope you haven't taken my advice of keeping something from your woman because I think that has cost me my small family."Caleb snorted, mumbling under his breath. "guess that's too late. But tell me, what happened?""Edwina saw me on my feet," I told him.He started with a perplexed look on his face, "Saw you on your feet? How did that happen?"I rolled my eyes, sitting my butt on a stool. I sighed, "so, yester
Alexander's POV...Woke up to a cold side of the bed. The bags underneath my eyes were enough to act as an airbag during an accident. They were so heavy it felt like my eyes were under pressure.I had waited up for Edwina to return to the room, but it was obvious that wouldn't be happening. I was surprised to find out when I drifted off to sleep, though.My mind wobbled, and all I wanted was to stick to the bed and never have to come out of the room. Different emotions flowed through me. Now that Edwina knows my truth, I feel compelled to let the pack members know too. Truth is, judging by Edwina's reaction, I'm really scared the pack members, too, would be disappointed.I groaned inwardly while pulling at my hair. I can't believe this shit is happening right now; I thought everything was falling into place, and I would show myself to my woman at the right time. I can tell she hates me now and compares me to that fucking Ben. Now I have stooped so low to cursing the dead. I might go b
