Alexander's POV..."Pack our clothes now. We are going back," I yelled at Edwina, who was perplexed by my sudden change in reaction."Why, what happened?" She asked."I said pack our clothes now! We are going back." This time, I commanded her."I need to know why you are cutting our honeymoon and why was I the settlement deal?"Fuck!!! I exclaimed, scratching my hair. I always do that when I am agitated. Why can't this woman just listen to me and understand we don't have time for a long explanation? We were running out of time."Did you demand an explanation when you decided to keep such a crucial piece of information to yourself?" I blurted out and regretted it as soon as the words were out. She didn't utter a word and moved immediately to the room and began throwing the clothes in the bag. We had not gotten much time to unpack when we came in here."I am sorry, I didn't mean it that way," I called after her."Yes, you did, " she replied back briefly and started zipping the bags. She
Ben's POV..."Welcome to the sizzlers community, it is good to finally get you to join us," Alpha Bethel said, extending arms of a warm, gratifying hug. It's been a while since I got such a warm, reserved welcome."Thank you, Alpha Bethel," I replied, with only a smile on my face.I was a free man, I wasn't free at heart, but I was free from those shackles and thorns in my flesh.I have been bottling a whole up for years, and it has made me become an unhappy man. But this time, I wanted to do things differently.I believe a lot of stories have been told about me, and many people get to represent me in the version of events they are comfortable with, but for you to truly say you understand or know me, you need to have been able to work in my shoes.I have never been one who has had any interest in what people had to say about me; truly, I don't care.It has always been filled with lies or some sort of half-truth, and that was their own case scenario.I sometimes get to wonder how fooli
Edwina's POV...I know the only reason Xander wasn't blowing up at me was that he had promised me he wasn't going to get angry at me, but I could see, with every fiber of being in him, that he was mad at me. I could have prevented all this; I could not have let Ben escape if I had only told them the day he had told me. Now we have a fucking walking, living, breathing problem in our hands, and that was the most catastrophic thing I could think of right now.I was gazing through the window of the see-through glass as I saw him talking with Caleb, he was downstairs, and I stood on the balcony surrounded by pink flowers upstairs. He was strong from left to right, and you could tell from all his facial expressions and indication that he was super agitated and perplexed about what to do. I was also.I knew this wasn't the right time to start casting blame on anyone, but apart from Ben, who was foolish enough to escape, again, I blame myself. Maybe I was too naive and indeed a good person. O
Edwina's POV...If there were one thing I could openly say I am happy for, that would be the truce with Alex. Should I call it a truce? I could just say we found a temporary common ground.It's been three days since Ben's escape, and everything has been silenced. We were still trying so much to manage information and limit people's access to the night howlers pack.I stood in front of the old painting of the late Luna, Alex's mum, and then recalled the secret about Alex's birth that had accidentally slipped off from Becca.I was still finding it so hard to believe that such a huge secret had been kept from him in the past, and he still doesn't know,He has indeed been through a lot, and I can't help but wonder what specifically has been deliberately kept from him.If he doesn't know that his mother wasn't a wolf but rather a human, such a big detail that was skipped, what else doesn't he know about?My hands trailed down the rungs, and I took note of every piece of painting on the wal
Author's POV...He stood gazing through the window blinds at her. He stood at a distance that was safe, close enough to get a perfect glimpse at her but also far enough not to get noticed, her dark wavy hair blowing with no synchrony as the standing fan was doing enough justice to her. It was doing its work.She wouldn't notice he was there. He had never been the one who was good enough for her,She was walking from the home office today as the Alpha had called her over to tend to some needs of his.He shouldn't let himself be distracted by her, but her beautiful, curvy body makes it so hard for him to concentrate. Her straight legs fall out perfectly, revealing their glory under her black straight gown, they were crowned with thin heels, and she could just be called a Luna if only she were. No wonder she had always kept high standards for herself. No wonder she had always thrown herself at the Alpha before he disappointed her by choosing another woman as his Luna, but she didn't let
Alexander's POV...I glared at her as she stood gloriously naked before me, her perfect curves being highlighted in the beam of the sun. It cooperated to make her gleam so bright like the ray of sunlight she isShe shined so bright; no wonder the moon goddess made her mine, my Luna. The water dripping down her skin made me want to trail them up with my tongue and lick every curve and corner of her body. She was exceptionally beautiful, and she knew it. She smiled at me when she reached out for the towel hanging on the toilet rail and wrapped it around her body.Fuck this wheelchair!!!If I wasn't still confining myself to the restriction of its wheels, I would have reached out to her right now. I would twelve her from behind, yank the towel out of her body with no apology, turn her to face the wall, and fuck her right here and right now.But I was still so much not willing to give up this act, especially not for some temporary form of pleasure. It wasn't worth it for the greater and b
Authors POV...He knew this wasn't all it seemed to be, she sounded like an entirely different person, but deep down, this has always been what he wanted, to be noticed by her, that when she finally sees him as worth her love, he would have measured up to her standard.But now that he has that, she even came to offer a truce to him. Why does he still feel strange and indifferent about the whole thing?He left her office after a short casual chat. He could even consider them friends now. But why does friendship feel like that of one with fringe benefits?He walked past the hallway and took the stairways leading to the ground floor. He wanted to go talk with Alpha Alex.Then when he was about to take the last turn, he bumped into Becca, who was holding some toiletries in her hands and all of them fell off."I am so sorry," he said as he quickly bent down to pick them up for her."It's nothing," she also bent down to pick them up, and in the course of that, their fingertips touched.Ther
Alexander's POV...I am so fucked. Once I heard the door open, my mind left my body, and I was finding it hard to breathe. All of a sudden, the spacious room became so much thinner, and everything appeared to be smaller. My lungs closed up against each other as I struggled to grasp for air. A moment of anger had ruined months of work. I didn't want to look at the door as the figure quickly rushed in. I could have run back to my wheelchair, but my head had already calculated in a matter of milliseconds that it was impossible to make that run. And then I gazed up at the mirror, and a sense of relief came unto me immediately as the curvy shape figure I was expecting to see turned out to be a masculine, muscular figure.Fuck!!!Fuck!!!Fuck!!!It was Caleb. Caleb just discovered my secret.He stopped halfway through as I could see him perplexed. He was totally and utterly confused.This wasn't what he was expecting to see, as I could see him puzzled as his head cried out to understand exa
