Edwina's POV...I woke up to find the other side of the bed long cold. It was apparent my dear husband had left the house a long time ago. Checking the time, I noticed I had slept in for a long time. The marathon sex we had the night before had been so soothing to my pain that all I could do was fall into a long sleep. Getting up from the bed, I stretched my full length. The merits of sex must be underestimated, I felt brand new, and some of my worries had dissipated.Heading into the bathroom, I pulled off my robe, staring at my naked self in the mirror. I felt my nipple as I rubbed my hands carefully on my breast. The thoughts of Sonia being molested by our father came rushing back to me, and I felt guilty.Would things have been different if I had a wolf? Would he have abused me instead of Sonia? How was he even still alive and hadn't committed murder? Then the thought of Sonia's anger regarding my marriage to Xander confused me. Did I do anything wrong? What exactly was my fault?
Alexander's POV...I stared at Sonia as she kept up with her hysterical laughter. Somehow I was beginning to doubt the said feelings I had for her. This lady right in front of me is definitely crazy, and I didn't want to believe I had fallen for someone like her. I was about to ask Caleb to summon the warden to come to check her. The moment she had set eyes on me, she burst into a string of laughter, causing her bump to join in.I folded my arms across my chest, waiting patiently for her to get herself in check."You bastard!!" She growled.One of my gammas attempted to shut her up, but I nodded for him to let her be. Her wolf had surfaced, and I could see it threatening to unleash itself. I felt the urge to laugh out. She must think my being crippled implies her wolf having the ability to confront me."How could you?" Sonia banged the table separating us violently. I had a feeling the pain she caused herself would ache for a few hours."I agree to it that you were hurt and you needed
Authors POV...The opening of the files rustled, serving as the only sound that the room produced. He heaved another sign; trying to concentrate with so many thoughts in his head made it totally uneasy. Caleb prided himself in not getting distracted by anything, but it turns out he was just all bluff. Since the nighthe had mind-blowing sex with Ramona, she had left him hanging, acting like they hadn't spent a moment together. He hadn't been himself.Shaking his head, he returned his attention to the files. After returning from the prison visit, Alexander had decided to get to the office to get some work done with the intention of returning home a bit early. He, on the other hand, had gotten a hold of the prisoner's file to fish out the ones worthy enough to be trained as a night howler soldier.They needed as many as they could gather, but the files he had come across so far were criminals that couldn't be given another chance. It made his frustration increase; he needed to ease his
Alexander's POV...I pulled out my tie violently, sending a dull pain to my neck. To my disappointment, the conversation I had with Sonia got a better part of me. Maybe I was too harsh on her, but that still doesn't justify her actions. She was independent-minded enough to know what to do and what not. I inhaled, trying to clear my head.Throwing my head back, I shut my eyes tightly, jolting back almost at the same time when I remembered that I had not spoken to Edwina all day. It surprised me that she made no attempt to reach out to me. I felt a bit bothered. Picking up my phone from the stack of files I had tossed it on, I called her. But she wasn't picking. Where the hell could she be? She should be awake by now. I thought again, checking my wristwatch.I was about to start raving when she picked up."Hey."Her soft voice filled my ears, sending some tingle my way."Hey, mama," I cooed, surprised at the change in my tone. "Missed you all day.""Missed you more, sorry I didn't infor
Edwina's POV..."Oh heavens!" I moaned in exhaustion. My head felt like it would drop off my neck. After trying my hardest to console Becca and giving her some advice that didn't sound so reassuring to me either, we had headed out to foresee the situation of the pack.Since the pack's meeting, everyone moved with an unsteady weight, each person looking behind whenever they walked. The sizzlers had kept everyone, including myself, on alert.Especially the she-wolves and cubs, they all need some form of assurance that everything will be sorted. It's understandable that the alpha had played his part in assuring them they were safe. It was my duty to make sure they trusted his words enough. I only hoped his plans were in full swing.My first visit had been to the infirmary to check on the wounded warriors still receiving treatment. My body ached as I inhaled the scent of the duvet. The smell hit my nostril, sending a shiver down my spine. I didn't realize how much I missed him until this
Author's POV...Becca stared out the general study window, watching the alpha's private car drive into the garage. Her heart raced, knowing Caleb would be in the car with him.She turned her back, taking a deep breath. Her hands shook; she was nervous, and the last thing she wanted was to see him. She had no idea if she was going to be able to control her emotions around him any longer. The urge to blurt out and scream at his face was so strong."Of what use would that be?" She questioned herself, disappointed at the turnout of the event. The last thing Becca wanted was to get in a love triangle. It felt like the moon goddess had something against her in terms of finding love.Her first love had died in the war, leaving her dry and lonely. To top it all, she fell for a man who wouldn't look twice at her. It made her feel too conscious of her looks, blaming it on the age difference between them."It is a matter of the heart, and it's certainly unpredictable. It's not your fault your he
Ben's POV...Argghhhh! I would lose my mind soon at the stupidity of these pack members. I wondered what the hell I was on my mind when I decided to join forces with these morons. Alpha bethel made me pissed the more. How in the world did they make such a clown an alpha? The rules around here need to change.I have had so many fucks in a week, and I must admit I am tired. And bothered too, news reaching me has it that one of the sizzler warriors that I had sent as a spy to reach Sonia had been bailed on."Fuck!"How dare Sonia? That bitch had me tripping. According to the feedback, she had totally thrown me under the bus, saying she knew nothing about the plot I had let her in on. Sonia must think she is smart. She has my heir inside of her and thinks I would let her off the hook.The night howlers have been on high alert, securing their pack, and it's becoming harder to figure out their next line of action. The only thing I could work with was Xander calling for assistance.I have th
Alexander's POV..."Shouldn't you be prepared for work now?" Edwina asked me.I sat in my wheelchair, staring out into space. I felt numb. She walked up to me, kneeling in front of me."You seem exhausted, did I do too much?" She teased with a twinkle in her eye.She was definitely pulling my legs. We had sex all through the night, and as distracting as the sex was, it didn't suffice for the situation the pack was in. We needed to fortify our security and be ready for war.I haven't heard from Caleb yet; it's been days since I ordered him to make arrangements for the prisoners to train, and yet, there has been no single report from him since after.I sighed, putting the escaped strand of hair behind her ear. "You worry your pretty head too much."Her eyes were so distracting I wanted to get lost in them and forget about everything, but I knew better than to lose focus. Checking my phone, I noticed Caleb had dropped me a message saying he was outside the door. I wonder why he sent a te
