Edwina's POV...Looking around the room that had clearly been tagged as out of bounds, I sat by the door, hugging my legs to my chest. Thinking about Xander's announcement, I didn't know how exactly I was supposed to act. And maybe I shouldn't have acted unreasonably, walking out on him like that.But I was overwhelmed by the news, and my emotions weren't exactly clear. I should have suspected something was different about me, especially when I craved more sleep and felt some irritation in the mornings for the past week now.Tears flowed freely from my eyes.When Sonia was alive and pregnant with Star, I had wished to conceive, too, hoping Xander wouldn't have a problem with it. I hoped he would be pleased with the thought of it.Somehow, I feel like this doesn't seem like the right time. To think that I had sex with Xander this morning makes the guilt weigh more on my shoulders. I wish I had spent more time with Sonia while she was alive.I would never forgive our father for doing t
Ben's POV...I sat down with my back resting against the bed frame as one of the maids worked her mouth on my dick. It was just a movement that I didn't intend to take further beyond the blowjob; she didn't look attractive enough for me to fuck. Moreover, Malia had just sneaked out of the room early in the morning.But the tension I was feeling made me crave some release. Malia's company had made my mind a bit preoccupied. Now that she was gone, my mind returned to its spiralling mode.Fucking John Sinclair! That bastard just swivelled his way into my plans, making it all a bit messy. My mind has been on what my child would look like and how soon I could take him or her away.I moaned as the maid gave me a deep throat, letting out a moan herself. Seems like she is enjoying it more than I am. Tapping her head, she looked up, her pupils dilated. Nah, baby, I am so not fucking you. The image of her pussy dripping on the duvet amused me as I thought of it. But she wouldn't even last beyon
Alexander's POV...Dropping off the call from Edwina had put me in a frenzy. She sounded sad. I wish I could go to her now, but they were more important things to deal with at the moment. I don't mean to say consoling Edwina isn't important, but the attack on the sizzlers pack is a more pressing issue.I have been trying to figure out different techniques that can be adapted to incapacitate the sizzlers' army. It was almost noon, and the others were expected to return to me with their feedback. Aside that, I needed some good food.It's tiring to have to work all day with no such thing as a heavy meal inside of me. I plan on resigning from the alpha's seat after this. All I want to do is wake up to Edwina every day, have some deep sex, sleep and eat some good food. I know it's just my wishful thinking, but you can't blame me for wanting some nice soft life.There was a knock on the door, and then it came open. My three musketeers strolled in, looking like they had some victory moments
Authors POV...The car moved further into the deepest part of the night howlers' pack. The road led to the expanse of unused land serving more as a large boundary between the night howlers and sizzlers pack. Caleb pressed on the car wheel, navigating the road like he had a GPS turning in his head. The car was extremely silent, which was unlike the both of them. Knowing how chatty Xander can be, it amused Caleb how quiet he had become since they left the office.Not wanting to intrude in his thoughts, he kept his mind on the road, keeping his wolf eyes on alert just in case the sizzlers might be lying in wait. The night howlers hardly make use of the road, and it's toured mainly by people making a silent escape out of the pack, which is very unlikely unless they are wanted criminals like John Sinclair.The road to an ordinary eye is only one way to the border gate separating the night howlers and the sizzlers pack. But the ones who are very familiar with the road know that just down th
Alexander's POV...Watching them march towards the tunnel as I told them to arrange themselves made me feel good at heart. It was obvious they didn't care about my deficiency; they would harken to every word that came out of my mouth. Their howls as they shifted, sent a thrill down my spine.I had decided that some groups should shift into their wolves, and the ones using weapons shouldn't shift just yet. Caleb, Carlos, Jason, and the rest of us assigned to the packhouse didn't shift either.To make the attacks easier, those who have shifted would subdue the sizzlers' army on the different angles of the pack. It would be too much work if they had to get there and shift. It's better for us when our enemies are caught off guard.I sighed deeply as I remembered this wasn't an ordinary move we were about to make."Halt, everyone!" I called out as some were about to step into the tunnel. They all turned around to look at me with eagerness in their eyes. They were truly ready to counter wha
Ben's POV...It had appeared as a dream when some armed warriors with the night howlers warrior uniform barged into the meeting room. Finally, Bethel had agreed to us acting fast before the night howlers woke up from their slumber.With me in attendance, he had invited his pack council members to strategize on a means to conquer the whole of the night howlers pack.According to Bethel, we would need to act discreetly, considering the fact that the sizzlers pack was still under a strict lockdown. I had John with me as my underdog after dressing him up in a whole lot of disguise. I wasn't ready to get in the bad books of Bethel yet, not until I got what I wanted.It was past midnight, and all of us had protective gear on even after having sanitized ourselves. Bethel had reminded me of the promises I made to him if he helped conquer the sizzlers pack as he insisted on him risking his members' lives for me.We hadn't spent thirty minutes into the meeting when the warriors burst in and sub
Alexander's POV...When I headed to the sizzlers pack, I thought my emotions might burst out of place when I saw Ben. But to my surprise, all that came to my mind was a calmness that I couldn't explain. I knew right there and then what I was to do right. The yells of the warriors clashing could be heard in the silent night.I pulled a chair and sat in front of Bethel. One thing I have learnt about the sizzlers pack alpha is that; he never does things irrationally. He indulges in actions that would benefit himself and the pack as a whole. Knowing his kind of person, I decided to toss him a bone."So, you can walk now!" He started with a scoff"Surprised you noticed." I retorted sarcastically."Never knew you had moves; I was about to catch you off guard." He sounded so boastful I wanted to knock some breath out of him."Should I have waited for you to take control of my birth home?"He shrugged, "I'm not interested in leading your birth home; all I wanted is a piece of your land.""Whi
Alexander's POV...I had seen dead bodies countless times before, but I didn't think I would feel this blank with my one-time best friend lying lifeless in front of me. It had happened so fast that there was no way anyone could throw blames around. Ben clearly knew what he was doing when he attempted to fight the warriors. There was no way he would have been able to escape.Everyone stood startled, uncertain of what move to make next. Bethel seems like the only one unbothered among us all."I would ask for his body to be deposited somewhere far away or burnt. It would be a waste of land and time to bury him right." Bethel muttered, "thanks for the insight, alpha Alexander. Would do well to come for dinner at yours as soon as the sizzlers pack completes its lockdown. Now to avoid further distraction, I would like you and your men off my land."Not arguing because we clearly have nothing else to do there. It was almost morning by the time we all stepped outside. My entire army and I wal
