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
Alexander's POV...The rum burned down my throat as I gripped the bottleneck hard. One interesting thing about my study is having a minibar. You chose to do whatever you feel like in the said study, might study and get drunk.After ensuring Edwina would have a long night's rest due to the injection she was induced with, I left the room, ordering Becca to stay with her. Caleb wasn't back yet, so I decided to have a moment with myself. I locked the study door behind me, getting up from the wheelchair to take a long stretch.Dipping my hands into my pocket, I stared into the dark night, hoping John wouldn't have gone far before getting caught. I gulped down the content of the rum bottle. I know it sounds uncultured to drink straight from the bottle, but I don't feel like indulging in formalities at the moment.I want to go back to the times things looked pretty fine, but I know that was quite untrue. Nothing was actually fine; I had just paid little attention to it.Walking towards the t
Authors POV...Pulling the hoodie over his head, John moved as fast as his legs could carry him. He had no intention of stopping until he got anywhere that appeared safe for him to make a quick call."Don't you think he looks familiar?" A lady said behind him as he was about to step out. John panicked, thinking he had been discovered.Glancing behind, he relaxed a bit when he noticed she was only referring to something on her phone as she spoke to the red-headed guy standing next to her."I wonder why the alpha guards have ordered his arrest all of a sudden." The red-headed guy said.John stiffened as he took a sneak peek at the phone they had in hand. On the screen was his picture. Turning around, he quickened his pace even more trying to not get caught in his attempt to listen.He blamed himself for getting too carried away and not finding another means to kill Sonia. John had miscalculated his whole movement, but what he didn't seem to understand was how they got to know it was him
Authors POV...John yawned in exhaustion as he got into the sizzlers pack through the secret passage Ryan's man had made him pass through. It was long past midnight by the time he eventually got to the sizzlers pack. Ryan had been right about the sizzlers pack being under lockdown. Everywhere was extremely devoid of people.The person who had helped him out, whose name John had learnt was Damon, made him dress in one of the sizzler's pack warrior uniforms to avoid being noticed. They entered the military base and headed to an empty space."Sit here!" Damon pointed to a lone chair in the room for John to sit in. It didn't seem befitting, but John couldn't complain as his whole body was cramped. "As much as Ben is much loved by the alpha, he is strict on his rules. We have been instructed to not allow anyone to enter the pack; anyone found wanting would be severely prosecuted. I'm only doing this because I owe Ryan for coming to my rescue when I needed him the most. Try to stay as discr
