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
Author's POV..."Things are not really good with us," she replied with a fake smile that could only be translated as sadness on her face. She knew that look so well."Really? What's wrong? Is it still because he is in love with Ramona?" She asked, concerned. Over the month that Edwina had stayed in the pack house, a lot of the female pack members disrespected her, and she knew it. Sometimes she needed to enforce some tough punishment attached to it before something could be done. But Becca had shown her a high level of respect and sometimes even defended her. She had come to grow to love Becca not because of who she was to her but because of who she was to herself."He told me that he slept with her, like they just casually had sex,"Edwina could feel the pain in her voice. It always hurts to see the one you love or at least claim to love to cheat on you with someone else."That's bad," she consoled her."Not really, after all, he and I aren't dating and there is no way he could leave
Author's POV...It was a day she wasn't prepared for, but she knew she needed to brace herself up for anything that might come her way. She sat alone in the empty room, reminiscing of all the things she had done that had led her to this very day.She used to be the one sitting on that high throne, deciding the fate of the people. That was one part of the job description of being a Luna she liked because it made her feel powerful and like the fate of others were dependent on her, and she loved how that felt.But here she was now, waiting for her fate to be decided by the man she cheated on alongside a group of elders she might have insulted at one point in her time spent as Luna. Her life was both complicated and sorrowful at this point.She and Ben were supposed to be facing trial together, but now she stood alone with no one to turn to. Not even her sister, who she thought she was making headway with, wanted to stand for her or by her."Don't worry, baby, mama got you," she said to h
