Ben's POV..."What is your name?" I asked. I did not really care for that bit of information, but it would help if I knew exactly what to call her. "Esmeralda." She responded, and I hummed, pleased with the sound of it. "Esmeralda, strip for me." I instructed, and she understood the message because she put on quite the show for me while peeking off the thin layers of the materials that she had been swaddled in. A stripper would not have done a better job because the moment the last clothing item was hitting the floor where the rest of her clothes lay, my cock was already standing, and at this point, it was begging for attention. I stood to my full height, and the fact that I towered over the blonde girl made the entire situation even more interesting. "Kneel, Esmeralda," I commanded, and she did as she was told again without any question. I don't know this girl, but I sure do want to fuck her.Her eagerness at the situation was a complete turn on for me, and all I wanted at this
Edwina's POV...I was anxious to know it all, to know what is Ben's plan. All this while, he has been one step ahead of us. We always thought he was the victim, as after he lost his role as the Beta, he was publicly stripped of all his title, but he was always one step ahead."He had a plan for every possible scenario, including the one if he ever got caught and thrown into prison," Sonia said, interrupting my thoughts, and I glanced at her."So that means you knew he would escape. Why didn't you ever tell me?" I asked. The question didn't sound as substantial as I thought it would come in my head because, obviously, there was a lot of reason she should not have told me.Ben was an ex-lover of hers and also my husband. That situation is already as complicated as it seems."Yes, I knew, but all his ideas were crazy, and I didn't know he would carry them out and this soon. I thought it was something he would want to do in the distant future after being conversant with the prison and its
Edwina's POV...Discussing with Sonia wasn't all that gratifying. I had to face the truth and lies all in my head, what we get to face every day we sleep and wake up because we can't come to face our truth.The ambiance of this high-end restaurant brought a different kind of peace to me, the serene environment and the shallow waters at the back of the restaurant, which had an overview of the mountainside directly bordering the night howlers and sizzlers territory.The blue flowers rarely grew in the winter but somehow found a way to preserve themselves in the summer. The green grasses and the sound of crickets roaming around them, they screech and search, maybe for the clarity we all do.The birds fly around trying to build nests in the tallest trees in harmony, the back and forth movement they make, and how they occasionally settle on the ground to pick up a piece of stick and fly back up.The wooden table in front of me with a cup of cappuccino. I know I was thirty minutes early, bu
Edwina's POV..."That was way too funny," he replied, and I smiled."I needed to make that joke. I saw you were being overly guarded with me, and I understand why. You are the Beta, and I am the Luna, and based on history, those combinations are bad news,""Yes, they are, and I was just trying to keep my respectful distance," he explained and to which I understood perfectly well what he meant by that."I get you, but I brought you out here to talk, and Alpha Alex is aware of me being here with you. Although he made a similar joke you can't blame us being too cautious around you for, Beta wolf, "He laughed again, and I realized he wasn't as uptight and stoic as I had thought him to be."I understand one man had spoilt our reputation, it would take a lot to build it back again," he said with a smile on his face."Yes, it would, but you being here with me in this friendly brunch is the right step, I think," I teased again."Then I will try my best for the honor of all Betas before the l
Ben's POV...I get to sit down here with this bunch of buffoons and plan every day. I think the reason why the sizzlers have not captured the night howlers' territory isn't because of the strength or infuse of Alpha Alex but rather because of the incompetence of their shameless leader, Alpha Bethel.I am not shading Alpha Bethel because of the fact I am trying to find the adequate reason to kick him in the ass and stab him in the back after all is said and done, but rather because he is purely shameless and lacks the skills to be a great leader.I find the system unfavorable when it comes to picking a leader. A leader should be picked based on their ability and capabilities. They should be able to call all the shots and make hard decisions when necessary in order not to put the realm in harm's way.But since they were being picked through lineage, we get people as worthless as Alpha Bethel, who invited me to his private room yesterday, I was expecting that we would be there to discuss
Ben's POV...Loyalty is sacred and hard, I would know, because I was never loyal, not to my Alpha, not to my wife, and not even to my pack."Yes, exactly," I finally said, throwing myself back to the conversation." and also when the news of me escaping got out, I am sure the tension increased in the air,""Yes, in fact, that was more when people who were not able to make the right decision to join us did.I chuckled under my breath. I hope he doesn't get to face the consequences of his foolishness soon. It can happen to him but not before I have executed and fully accomplished my plans."So with all indications, the right time to act is now. They are outnumbered and underprepared, and even though they are aware of our intention and possibly have a glimpse of our plan in regards to me joining the sizzlers, I am sure they are still very much clueless about our approach and how to tackle it, therefore putting us at an advantage when it comes to numbers and tactics," I outlined and I coul
Alexander's POV...I peeped through the window to see the thousands of people who gathered outside waiting for my speech. Truly I don't know if I was in the right frame of mind to give out a speech. I didn't even know exactly what I was expected to tell them.A lot had been going on that I had no control over. A lot had been going on, which made me feel weak and helpless.At this point in my reign as Alpha, I am not so sure about the decisions I am making, if it is for the best of the pack or mine.Like for instance, the decision I made to still pretend to be crippled when I can walk just fine. At first, I thought I was doing it because of the bigger plan and the element of surprise. When the Sizzlers first attacked us, they had the element of surprise waiting for us down that tunnel and, of course, a cheating ass Beta as their accomplice who betrayed us at the slightest opportunity he had.If it was not for Caleb and some group of Omega who felt something was wrong when the Gamma wol
Alexander's POV...I still felt all the adrenaline rushing through my body as I reached the top of the stage. It wasn't easy to know that this crowd had been gathered for you, just to hear you make some sort of profound speech, and you truly know that you had nothing for them in your heart. There was no atom of false hope they were going to get from me. No glimpse of wildflowers ready for battle.They were still adjusting the microphone to fit down to my level, where the wheelchair height stopped. If I am to be honest, there is this part of me that just wants to stand up from this wheelchair. Everyone kept glaring at me, still muttering things underneath their breaths. I had never thought the day would come when I would be this afraid to talk to my people, and not just the fear but a justifiable belief of hopelessness.I hope I don't die of anxiety when all is done. Caleb then whispered to me."You will do just fine," he said, and that was not the exact encouragement I needed, but it
