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
Authors POV...The cloak he had on covered his entire frame, and he moved stealthily towards the path. Something had to be done to cover up his mess. How could she have gathered the courage to speak out? It's been years, and one would have thought she had gotten over it. If anyone decided to believe her, that would be the definite end for him. His reputation and everything he had worked for over the years would be taken away from him right under his nose.It was never his intention for things to turn out the way they did. He should have known she was a wild child. No one can blame him for how she turned out, but night howlers are emotional fools who would sympathize with a murderer if he knows how to tell a story. However, this was an entirely different case. He would not just be humiliated in front of the whole pack, but till the end of time, his entire generation would be spat on for committing such an abominable act. This wasn't about him; it was for the future. He assured himself.
Authors POV...Jared nodded as he held the phone to his ears closely, his eyes darting back and forth, watching out for anyone who might listen in on his conversation. A message could have been sent instead of a call, but it was urgent, and he couldn't hold back."Do not let that happen, ensure my child is safe and I don't care how you do that." The voice on the other line barked."Of course. Trust me, my Lord." Jared responded, getting off the phone.He left the secluded corner before straightening out his cloth, then he cleared his throat as he began patrolling the prison yard. He had been assigned to the prison to work as one of the pack guards because of his swiftness, he worked under close scrutiny at first, but when the coast became clear, and he'd earned their trust, he was later allowed to roam about freely. Today was one of those days he felt grateful to be able to pay back his debt.Before becoming a guard, he had been a notorious swindler from the Gamma clan, and everyone k
