Ben's POV...Just when I thought I sounded really serious and my voice needed to be heard, mother fucking Bethel had himself excused."Can you wait up in the study for me, please? I would like to freshen up. I reek of their pussy." He spat in distaste like he wasn't just moaning to that same pussy.Acting like the obedient servant I wasn't, I bowed a bit, heading out of the room. My thoughts clouded as I walked the hallway down to his study. The feeling that all wasn't well was settling deep in the pit of my belly. There is no way my men who had stayed loyal to me even when their life was in obvious danger would lose contact and not reach out to me in the least.Someone like Jared goes to the extent of leaving the night howlers just to come to find me and keep me updated. Maybe I was too slow in responding, but at the same time, it isn't really my fault. The only reason I aligned with the sizzlers pack was to use their resources. But not having control over them all has been an added
Alexander's POV...Parading the dungeon where all of Ben's men were locked up, I shook my head at their pitiable sight. I haven't yet decided what I intend to do with them, as it was the least on my plate to worry about.For days, it all seemed okay, but my team and I have been working relentlessly to ensure we don't become enslaved by those treacherous individuals. Knowing Ben well enough, he would have taken notice of his inability to reach his men. The encrypted phone, which had belonged to Jared, kept ringing nonstop. We intentionally left it on to know when Ben would give up. For days he hadn't tried the line, which implies he had begun to suspect something.It got me worried, and as much as I want us to get this over and done with, I can't have my warriors exposed to the virus that had spread out in the sizzlers pack. At the same time, we need to act as fast as we can.Our next stop was the training ground, and I must say, Caleb, Carlos, and Jason have done a great job keeping a
Alexander's POV..."Fuck!" I cussed softly.I had no idea Caleb had been warning me because of Ramona's entry. I was so engrossed in the discussion I didn't hear the door click open.Gulping hard, I looked towards Caleb for help, but he had another thing in mind as he looked away from me. His gaze searched everywhere.Ramona walked in, still not saying a word, but a whole lot was defined in her eyes. I could hear her wolf growling in anger. I should start watching my mouth right now, but there is no way I am keeping quiet when I can't seem to understand some things.Her heels clattered angrily against the floor as she stepped back out. I returned my gaze to Caleb."It's obvious knowledge that I didn't intentionally do that. But on second thought, you have a lot to explain, young man."Caleb gritted, "I am not your little brother."I chuckled, "you would have actually passed for one. Anyways, I know I have been quite preoccupied for the past few days. That still doesn't mean I won't as
Edwina's POV...I paced the doorway back and forth, trying to listen in on what was going on. I was supposed to be in the room serving as a support system for my sister when she needed me the most, but instead, I was about to pass out myself.For four days straight, Sonia has been experiencing contractions that go back and forth. The nurse assigned to watch her all through the time had been replaced by another person, as they didn't expect it would take that long for her water to actually break.I have been having sleepless nights and preoccupied with the thoughts of Sonia that I have deprived not just myself of some sleep but also Xander of sex. The thoughts made my libido paralysed, but I felt like a monster at the mere thought of having sex at the expense of my sister wallowing in pain.Even though Xander has been most considerate, I know it's uneasy for him to hold it in. About two times, I heard his groans while he jerked off in the middle of the night. I missed him more, too, an
Edwina's POV...Staring dolled-eyed at the newborn, I was beyond mesmerized at her sight. Sonia looked more smitten than I was, even as they took her to the bathroom to wash up. The look on her face was priceless. My sister is finally a mother."It's a baby girl!" The theta announced. But my ears weren't even working anymore; those beautiful eyes got me roped in."She looks so beautiful." Becca sniffed behind me.It was obvious she had been crying. It turns out it wasn't just me. The theta placed the newborn cub in Sonia's hands as she rested on the bed after getting cleaned up."Come carry her, Edwina," Sonia called out to me.I practically ran to her at the invitation. "You want me to?" I asked, sitting with caution next to her.Sonia smiled brightly, handing the child over to me carefully. "Here you go."She felt so light in my arms I was almost scared she would fall off my hands."What would you like to name her?" Sonia inquired next to me. I almost fell off the bed."Really?" I w
Authors POV...Athena gripped tightly at the end of her phone tip, squeaking in excitement. John was on the line with her. She had stepped out briefly from the room after attending to her mistress, who was fast asleep. Witnessing Sonia birth her child felt like a gift to her, as it was the most beautiful thing she had ever witnessed.All the fears that gripped her by the chest as she watched Sonia scream in pain dissipated the moment the little girl arrived.Taking her tired self to her room, they had been awake since the early morning.Her mistress's water broke just as the sun rose, and Athena had been kept on her toes till the arrival of the child.Athena was just about to fall asleep when her phone rang. Her heart skipped a bit at the look of his name showing clearly on her phone screen."Hey." She whispered into the receiver.John shifted on the bed he sat on as her voice seeped into his ears from the other line. "How are you doing?""I'm fine," Athena responded as she stretched
Alexander's POV...I rubbed at my neck as I checked my wristwatch to realize that the time was barely past noon. What time exactly did I get to work? I could feel exhaustion reeking through every of my pores. For fucks sake, why the hell is the time so slow?A different form of hunger hit the pit of my belly. I could swallow a whole horse right now if given a chance to. Deciding to eat out an early lunch, I picked up the phone and dialled Ramona. The line hadn't rung when I heard a knock on the door. For the sake of my sanity, I really do hope whoever was at the door has a good enough reason to do so."Come in!" I didn't sound too enthusiastic about the invite.The door opened, giving way to Carlos and Jason, both of them holding some bag packs in hand. I almost wailed. I thought I had seen about enough of these guys today. Don't they get tired of seeing my face? I know I am good-looking, and all, but their constant visits might make the beauty fade.I would love to blurt out all this
Alexander's POV...At Ramona's announcement, I wasn't too certain about how I was supposed to react to that. It took her time to catch the look on my face as she mouthed a hurried sorry and walked back out. Every one of the men tried looking at every other place to distract themselves from glancing at me.I hate how it seems like they are all working on eggshells around me. Maybe I wasn't supposed to look the way I did, but it was unintentional. Seems like my mind worked on its own.When Caleb decided to break the silence in the room, I couldn't be more grateful. "Let's continue with the talks, please."Carlos gulped hard before talking again. You would think he lost track of what he was to do. To my annoyance, he kept searching around for nothing in particular."What the hell, man!" Jason whispered at him.I turned away, the food I had eaten turned sour in my mouth. I wouldn't blame Carlos for looking so confused; we went from zero to a thousand a bit too quick.Clearing his throat,
