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
Alexander's POV..."I am Carlos, the representative of the omega clan, I have heard all you say, great Alpha, and like you have always known, the omega are the warriors and had always stood solidly behind you. We wanted to know, for the threatening battle, what your plans of getting more recruits to join us were because clearly, we know we are outnumbered, and I am not sure even by magic we could win," he said in a bit of an increased octave. At this point, I truly miss Caleb as the head omega wolf. He would have never asked me such a question. He wouldn't do that to me. He is my friend."Thank you, and I understand your worries and truly, it is valid. I had reached out to some of the clans and packs in the realm in which we have a strong relationship to join forces with us, and I am hoping for a positive response from them all because in the past, I can count for quite a several time when we had lent them also helping hands."So I had lied. At this point, I had not reached out to any
Edwina's POVI gazed upon the man to which I had married proudly, how he had managed to salvage all the situation that presented itself yesterday as a true leader. If I wasn't aware of his struggles beforehand, I would have assumed he had a speech memorized somewhere in the back of his head and also prepared a lot of possible questions and found answers to them, but there was nothing like that. He had been scared shitless to address his people beforehand. He had even dropped the speech which we had rehearsed that gave some politically correct answers but still didn't visit most of the key areas in which we faced.He was able to let out his vulnerable side and amplify his strengths more than his weaknesses. He had been able to gain the trust of most of the pack members, at least to a very large extent, and that was a win.We had come back that day, and I had fucked him so well last night. It wasn't a gratitude fuck. It was more like an "I am proud of you fuck," I didn't say it, but I
Author's POV...Things get so busy at times, and people forget to breathe. We fail to analyze and think before we talk or act. Caleb had been second-guessing his recent encounter with Ramona since that day and had not been able to talk about what had happened. He didn't want to text her; that would be too forward, but he needed to know who they were now. Were they attempting to enter a relationship, or would they just be fuck buddies? It would be a little bit higher than the place she had formally placed him in her life, and he didn't want to push a lot.All his life, he had pictured the day he would finally kiss her, but they didn't just kiss that day. They fucked, real hard, and it was pleasurable. Much more than he had ever imagined. But now he wasn't sure if that was what he wanted. He had always wanted her body, but he had always wanted her heart too.Now he sat on his chair before his desk, in front of a laptop, trying to see if he could concentrate on doing the barest minimum w
Author's POV...It has been more like what he has been going through as he assumed the position as the Beta just became amplified. How could he begin to phantom how to come up with solutions for each of the problems that had been started.Now he was before his desk, caught up in his thoughts, trying so hard to think that the trial would be tomorrow, and there was nothing worse than being unprepared.He glared at his screen for the umpteenth time and still hadn't figured out what to do. Then he heard a knock on the door which made him almost kick start from his chair, and he knew whoever was at the door just saved him from being buried in his thoughts. It was crazy to be immense and locked up in a prison of your thoughts. He headed towards the door and opened it. A part of him was hoping and praying it would be Ramona. Maybe another office sex would set his mind straight or confuse him the more.He headed for the door, and as soon as he opened it, he sighed because it was Becca. She he
Edwina's POV...I have always been the one who gets to go and visit Sonia, but today for the first time since I started the journey of trying to build my relationship with her again from scratch, she called me.I was shocked when I heard my mobile phone ringing. People rarely called me on that line. It was only Ben and Sonia that had the number. Ben got me the phone to get in touch with me when he was out on long trips and come to think of it, it was probably him fucking my sister and maybe calling me while she was in his arms, I don't want to think of all these things, but anytime I do, there is this growing rage in me that wants to revenge and make them pay for all the pain I had gone through because of them, but on the other hand, I had chosen the path to forgiveness and even if it's hard, I would have to stick by it for the long run.And the phone rang for the second time that day. I was afraid to pick up because I had already concluded in my heart that the call was going to be co
Author's POV...It was a day that brought this natural feeling of anxiety. One didn't have to do much or even say much to be anxious. There was no feeling worse than the one that had to do with lies. The feeling that came with not being completely honest with the one you claim to want to make things better with.But that was the case for Edwina right now; she was in a state of total and utmost dismay, confused to the brim of her knowledge on how to go about things and lacking the strength to do them.There was no way a trial was to be held, and she wouldn't be in attendance. Her being in attendance would mean that her sister would find out the reason why she had not agreed to be her witness and all the secrets and lies she had been keeping away from her. She knew this was an impossible case."Why can't I just stay behind and not go?" She had asked Becca when she was still struggling with her thoughts. Becca was in the full picture of all that was going on and why Edwina didn't want to
