I detest going to prison. There is a certain type of chill it gives me, maybe because I am claustrophobic and have a weird reaction to being confined in an enclosed space, or maybe because I feel the system is flawed and most people here don't really deserve to be here.The night howlers prison was not really different from any conventional prison.There was truly no joy in such a place as this; as everyone was either angry, scowling, or remorseful, it was all negative feelings, and we all know negativity is contagious."Luna Edwina," the guard greeted, the name sounded so weird, and I couldn't imagine what would happen if Sonia found out. That used to be her title. When I was first informed about the Alpha wanting me to be his mate and requesting my presence, I was excited and happy; overwhelmed was the word. I told myself that the world would finally take me seriously, and I would no longer be considered deficient.But when I was informed he had chosen my sister instead of me, I bro
Alexander's POV...For the first time in a while, I was looking forward to going home. I wasn't sure why I felt that way, but I knew it brought me a tremendous amount of happiness. We are most probably going to have a fight and most likely not agree on something, but for the first time, I was going home to my real mate, and that alone is worth celebrating.I reached home to meet Becca in the central parlor. Why was she there? She should be anywhere Edwina is."Becca, why are you here?" I asked without even answering her greeting."She said she wanted to be alone," she replied calmly."Alone, Alone where?" I asked."She is in the room," she replied."Is she still in our room, or does she mean another room?" I had instructed Becca earlier to aid her move into another room, so I wasn't sure what room exactly we were talking about."What room is that?" I asked again."Your room, sir, " she replied, and then I exhaled. I quickly wheeled myself to the room. After the whole fiasco about sex
Alexander's POV...It was a buffet of seven-course meals, with candlelights and a band to serenade us.There were violinists, pianists, and guitarists. From the little research I did about pleasing she-wolves, I made sure there were a lot of white roses. It was our first dinner as a couple, and I wanted to make it as unique as possible.Edwina was seated across the table, opposite me, dressed in a strapless, high-fashion dinner gown. She makes the most beautiful Luna, her brown hair is packed in a single ponytail, and her eyes radiate from the candlelights before her. She smelled like sweet, raspberry, and apples. She looks gracious and magnificent.I had asked my cook to set up a whole table for us and make it as romantic as possible. I always wanted to do something like this with Sonia, but she always preferred to eat out. She always says if it isn't a five-star hotel or restaurant, she wasn't eating.Since I married her, I am pretty sure I had visited all the five-star restaurants
Alexander's POV...The white roses on the table suddenly did not look as interesting as they had been when the evening had started. In fact, now everything looked drab, and the excitement that had bubbled within me upon seeing the setting for the first time died.I watched as the lights from one of the candlelights died out, and I sighed as a result, it was almost the same way the feeling in my stomach felt. The band that I had hired for the night was currently playing one of my favorite songs, and I closed my eyes and leaned back on the chair, allowing the music to wash over me and calm me, even if for just a little bit. I ran my fingers across my chest, where it seemed to be hurting the most, and for reasons unknown to me, I just couldn't get the pain to go away. I couldn't even explain why it was there in the first place. Watching Edwina leave the room in anger made my stomach churn in not only anger but also frustration. This was not my plan for tonight. At the start of the ev
Edwina's POV...After the big fight with Alexander, I have only found time to do basic stuff. I missed when I was still among the humans, and I could work, but now I have a Luna duty to do. As the Luna, you have to be in attendance in all the gatherings, and sometimes, I feel uncomfortable at the casting glares and the condescending glances. I once heard two women talking about me, again in the bathroom during a function. I don't know what it is with women and gossiping in the bathroom."Poor Alpha Alexander, he had to settle for this woman because of his disabilities," the brunette woman with ugly glasses said to the dark-haired woman. The other woman gave a pitiful look with an exaggerated gasp."I feel for him, he is not even the glimpse of the Alpha he used to be, I heard he is now a joke to the Alpha community." The other lady replied."And this sorry thing for a Luna he had gotten for himself is only making things worse,"They turn to face each other, " I don't know how Beta Ben
Edwina's POV…The minute I heard Ben's voice, I immediately got up and left the room. I didn't turn back to see his face. I didn't want to because I didn't want to be reminded of all the hurt. I don't know why, but I just couldn't do it. I would come back here to face him some other time, but not today. I left the penitentiary building and hurried on my feet outside. My driver must have been surprised to see that I had come out so early, but that was the least of my problems. I entered the vehicle that had brought me here, the one Alexander had prepared for me to carry me around, and I ordered him to drive me from this place as soon as I'd entered.What is wrong with me? Why should I be running away when I'd done absolutely nothing wrong? I couldn't answer those questions, but I did feel a sense of calm and relief sweep over me the minute he'd driven me out of the prison gates.Now, I was back at the pack house. Alexander was there. He hadn't gone to work yet, but he was about to, and
Edwina's POV...Warm and fluffy.Those were the first thoughts that ran through my mind the moment I roused from my sleep and gained consciousness. Everywhere around me felt soft and very comfortable, and my entire body felt lax and fully sated. The cool satin material of the sheets against my skin caused the hairs on the surface of my skin to rise, and the cocooning warmth that surrounded me brought back the memories of the previous night. The last feeling of sleep in me ebbed as a blush rose in my cheeks when the event of the previous night rushed through my mind-sending my mind reeling, my cheeks heating, and my body tingling. And then, finally, the scent of Alexander filtered in my nose, and I flipped my eyes open, taking a subtle sniff at the air, and smiled lightly when the intoxicating scent drowned me slightly. I turned around on my side, and the sight of an empty bed made a frown paint my lips. My side of the bed was warm, but Alexander's side of the bed sent a chilly fee
Edwina's POV…The knock on the door had been so loud and unexpected that it caused me to flinch, and almost at the same time, I was moving in the opposite direction of the room, pulling my sweatshirt down and trying to gather a semblance of organization. I moved in the direction of the door, ignoring the look of annoyance and frustration that was currently painting Alexander's face. The moment I pulled open the door, a maid stood there with her head bowed, and she had a small envelope in her hands. "I was asked to bring this here." She said simply when I only continued to watch her in silence, and I furrowed my brows, taking the envelope from her hands. "Thank you." I said quietly to her, shutting the door gently without waiting to hear her response. I clicked the lock back in place before turning back around to face Alexander. The Alpha currently had his brows creased in question at the envelope in my hands. "What's that?" He asked as I moved in his direction, holding out his h
