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,
Author's POV...Sonia stared at her little piece of treasure again. Ever since she woke up, got checked and took her necessary vitamins, her eyes hadn't left Star for a minute. She looked so beautiful and amazing.Holding out her little hand as she slept, Sonia felt a teardrop on her daughter's shawl. Now she understood the feeling their mother must have had when she birthed Edwina. Why she was always so protective of Edwina. There was no way she would let any harm befall Star. She would rather fight till her last breath.Sonia felt ashamed of herself and their father for neglecting Edwina when all she needed was love from them. Whether Star had a wolf or not, Sonia would never let anyone come close to harming her. All she wants at the moment is to protect her daughter.She checked the time by the bed stand and hoped Edwina would come again. Her sister had become a huge part of her that she always looked out for the time she would come by. There was no denying that Edwina already love
Authors POV...John grinned in satisfaction at the fear in Sonia's eyes. He could see her eyes searching the room for an escape or probably a tool to use against him.Athena had kept her promise to let him in after a bout of hot sex that made him shiver. She definitely had been yearning for him and didn't hesitate to let him feel it from the drip of her pussy. The mere thought of it had him licking his lips.Sonia stared in disgust and fear. She would have never thought the day would eventually come when her father, who had been tagged as dead after such a long while, would show his face. And today, of all days when she is meant to stay happy and grateful for the turnout of things."Hey, there, lovely daughter," John muttered, still holding up the cynical grin.A vicious scream bobbed in Sonia's throat as she heard his voice. She wanted to believe it was just her illusion, but he was standing right in front of her in the flesh. Trying hard to scream, it seemed like something had seize
Authors POV...Athena wondered why John wasn't picking up her calls; he had only said he would use about twenty minutes or less. Her skin pricked at the thought of the sex they had just had before he left to see Sonia. It was the most intense sex she had ever had.She was practically screaming her lungs out, not caring that anyone around would hear her.She had let John in through the secret back door most maids use to sneak out of the packhouse. And as promised, he had brought the money and his dick along, fully prepared to make her feel good. The sex had been so wild that she couldn't resist the sleep that eluded her after her bath.All Athena could remember was John telling her he wouldn't take long to return. She thought that maybe she could make him stay for the rest of the night since everyone in the packhouse was busy with jubilation at the newborn's arrival.She woke up about twenty minutes later, it was a brief sleep but the best she had ever had. When she couldn't get throug
Alexander's POV..."Edwina!" I yelled out the moment my Luna slumped against the hard floor.My whole body was still paralyzed with shock. I am still trying my hardest to wrap my head around it. Running towards Edwina, I barked out for the infirmary to be called.I asked Caleb to lift her up to the bed until my eyes caught sight of the maid carrying a hysteric-looking Star. It then dawned on me that some shit had really gone down."Stay with me, baby." I patted Edwina's cheek consciously, trying to revive her, even when I wasn't sure about what I was doing.In a few seconds, I bypassed the theta herself as she checked for a pulse, asking for Edwina to be taken out of the room first.I had heard some situations occur where the new mum might feel dizzy and lose so much blood, which could result in death. But it seemed uncertain in Sonia's case since the theta had been assured that she was just fine. And not to brag, but the night howlers pack has the best of hands in terms of medical ca
Alexander's POV...Blood rushed through my ear as I tried hard to process the bombshell Caleb had just dropped. My voice seemed to fade for a brief second.I held on tightly to the tablet, trying to control the emotions flowing through me. With a steady breath, I opened my eyes as I watched the video. My eyes stung at the sight. It was a clear scene of John snuffing the life out of Sonia."How the hell did he get in? And where in the pit of hell did this bastard arise from?" I boomed, letting anger surge through every pore in my body.Caleb sat down on the edge of the bed, looking exhausted. "I'm just as confused as you are. But then the most surprising thing is how he came through the main door and locked it from inside." He said in reference to the video."Who was assigned to be Sonia's maid?" I inquired."Should be the lady who carried Star in her arms when we came in," Caleb responded."I need her right this minute."Standing up, I paced the room impatiently. This is the most conf
Edwina's POV...The room looked so white it almost blinded my eyes, I noticed I was a bit stuck in the bed, and I feared I had been tied down. Just as I attempted to pull myself out of what I thought was bondage, Becca's hands held mine. She had a sorrowful look in her eyes."What am I doing here?" I asked, trying to remember why I was on the bed.Then it all came rushing back to me like a dam of my forgotten memories had been opened up. "Where is my sister? Where is Sonia!" I screamed, jerking myself off the bed.My movement was too quick for Becca to hold me still, and my wobbly legs gave me out as I fell back on the floor. I was super dizzy and dehydrated."Please keep still, Luna. You aren't so strong, please." Becca said, holding me up to sit back in the bed.She handed me a bottle of water, and I gulped the whole content down my throat as I stared blankly at the wall."What I saw wasn't true, right?" I tried hard to tell myself repeatedly that it wasn't true and that my mind was
Alexander's POV... When Edwina passed out the second time, I knew right there and then I was surely going to skin John alive whenever my hands got a hold of him. My head ached from the ruckus that ruined my supposed peace of mind.I remembered something and glanced over at a devastated-looking Becca."How is Star?"Leaning off the wall, I felt like Becca would fall but judging by Caleb's stance, he was ready to rescue his woman."She is with a maid in the house." She replied.Rubbing my hand against my head, it felt like an ache was coming through. I watched as Edwina's eyes fluttered like she was battling with something in her sleep. The theta had done some quick checks on her and decided that there would be a need to carry out more tests.I would never understand these medical people. Edwina was only passing out as a result of the shock, and the theta insists on whatever test to be carried out. I couldn't argue with her; I had no idea what such things involved.My mind spiralled o
