Edwina's POV...The gasp kept on consistently, and it made my chest ache badly. Becca rubbed at my back gently as I tried to control myself. Xander had left on his own and had told a driver to pick me up. I couldn't go up to the room; I had to stay with Becca in hers. I tried to hold my cries back to prevent them from waking Star up. Unfortunately, I couldn't hold it in as the tears kept coming. A maid had to come for Star to pet her."Don't cry anymore, please. You would fall sick at this rate." Becca consoled me."I didn't mean to act like that, Becca. I would never intend to hurt him." I sniffed. "I should have listened to Xander when he asked me to not let my father get to me. He did play on my intelligence.""It's not your fault. It's just a burst of emotions."My lips shook, "He looked so hurt, and he admitted to loving me."Everything around me spiralled out of control. Every word Xander said to me resonated loudly in my head. For the first time since we have been together and
Alexander's POV...I stretched too freely and almost sold myself out to Edwina. She lay sleeping quietly next to me, and the movement I made was too much. It didn't take long for her to open her eyes."Hey!" She whispered, trying to avoid my eyes.She obviously wasn't sure if I was still angry or not. The burst of emotions that had happened at the dungeon was really unplanned. Until now, I had always thought I knew just how to hide my emotions well. Feeling like no one can get me to express just how I feel until I want to.However, I had been proven wrong this morning with Edwina. I wasn't blind to catching the emotions she emitted at the mention of Ben, and it made me boil. I am not ready to be in a competition with a dead man. A match I had unintentionally been in when he was alive. It got me really reeled when John used that avenue to get a reaction from Edwina.I have had just about enough and decided to blurt out my emotions the exact way I feel. I felt hurt, and it was different
Edwina's POV..."My beautiful angel." I cooed in Star's ear as I rocked her, placing soft kisses on her cheeks."You both look like an amazing pair. I'm glad you look better than before." Becca noted.She was right; I didn't need to be told that I looked better. I know I do feel better. It's been two weeks since Ben and Sonia's death and just a few days to when John Sinclair will be executed as ordered by the pack's council.I had insisted on a judgement harsh and worthy enough for what he did. He didn't deserve any mercy in the first place. Killing him for the murder he committed was the perfect punishment. I had made up my mind to never see him till he took his last breath, knowing he would only try to mess with my head if I did. Also, the sizzlers pack alpha had come around for dinner, and I must say he is a delightful personality. It felt really nice that Xander didn't put up a fight with him. A good leader always makes peace, not war.Xander, on the other hand, should be awarded
Alexander's POV...I should really have a private chat with the moon goddess at this point. Things have been looking fine for the past two weeks, with Edwina and I getting closer and the alliance with the sizzlers pack going well. I felt at peace, hopeful of the good things to come. I had almost totally forgotten about John in the dungeon.Caleb and I had been returning to the packhouse when Carlos called to inform us about John committing suicide. I couldn't bring myself to tell Edwina. Caleb, as always, did the talking. For me, it was the way Edwina's face morphed into an unreadable script."You should sit," Caleb advised, helping her to sit her butt down.I wheeled myself next to her, rubbing at her hand gently. "How do you feel?" I inquired.Edwina exhaled, "I don't know. It feels like it would have been better if he was killed by the law instead of getting away like that."I exchanged glances with Caleb, "so, you are not bothered about it?"She chuckled, "I am glad it's all over,
Authors POV...The phone rang again, making Caleb hiss loudly as he flipped the phone to the bed. He unbuttoned his shirt, sinking his butt deep into the bed and letting out a long breath. His day had been filled with trying to avoid Ramona as much as he could. The moment they left the office, she had resulted into calling him incessantly.He felt exhausted from having to just see her name appear as the caller. Caleb had tried to reason with her about how he felt for Becca. However, Ramona seemed to not be listening to whatever it was he said. She keeps trying to get his attention.Sighing deeply, Caleb leaned into the bed. The phone light came on again, indicating an incoming call. Putting the phone in silence still didn't stop the irritation he was feeling.He had the urge to scream at Ramona's stubbornness. There was no way he would let Becca know about her new approach to reaching out to him. Knowing fully well how much it would put a strain on their relationship."Are you okay?"
Alexander's POV...My entire mood felt giddy; I had woken up to see Carlos and Jason in the office waiting for our arrival. We had been quite late, too many reasons that involved certain people being ridden into oblivion.He has been in denial mode all morning, and I haven't decided how to deal with him yet. But seeing Carlos and Jason, I knew just what to do to him."It's been almost like forever since I last saw you both." I grinned at them"Have you been missing me when I'm only one call away," Carlos muttered in his usual cheerful state."Shut the hell up!" Mused Caleb, all of them settling into the chairs."I really haven't had the opportunity to thank you all for your hard work and dedication to the protection and safety of the pack," I said."Which is why we need to go to a nice place and have a good time out," Jason stated. He sounded quite chatty, which was unlike him. It's more of Carlos's thing."You sound elated, Jason," Caleb spoke my mind.Carlos shared a look with Caleb
Authors POV..."What the fuck, Ramona! Why the hell are you coming after me with so many messages and calls?" Caleb looked livid as he growled at Ramona. They stood a few feet from each other.For about a week, Ramona had been texting and calling consistently for a meet-up. Every location she picks is either her house or his. Caleb was trying his very best to avoid being in an enclosed space with her. Despite being able to define his feelings, a part of him still finds Ramona sexually appealing, and he really can't be certain of what he could be capable of.And it was obvious Ramona knew that weakness of his, the look in her eyes gave her out."Say something already! I left a gathering just because of you!" He growled in frustration.Ramona had sent him a message saying something along the line of committing suicide if he didn't show up. It was still working hours, implying their only meeting space would be his office. When he got back, she was seated comfortably in his chair. She was
Authors POV...Caleb blinked consistently, trying to adjust his brain to the mind-shattering news he just got from Ramona. His ear made a distinctive noise as his shaky hands scrolled through his phone screen to check his email. Ramona had meant it when she claimed the pregnancy test result had been sent to his email.The gynaecologist at the human-owned hospital she had gone to had his number written at the end of the test result. Refusing to get played by Ramona, he dialled the line.The other line came to life after the second ring, Caleb had been expecting to hear a man speak, but a mature ladylike voice was what he heard."Good day, Dr Derby here. What can I do for you?"Gulping hard, Caleb sat up, "I would like to ask about the pregnancy test result done by a lady at your hospital." Finding it hard to say the word, he muttered in horror. "I'm her fiance."He called out Ramona's name and her registration number written on the result. Dr Derby had been reluctant at first until she
