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
Edwina's POV...Something didn't feel right. I felt uneasy. These were times I wished I actually did have a wolf. Probably, I would be able to decipher the situation. My mind went to Sonia; it's been days since our altercation, and she still hadn't reached out to me.It amuses me how unforgiving she is. I overlooked everything she did to me every time, not minding the insults and disrespect I got from her.Even if I had a deficiency, it is said that family comes first. I sighed, disappointed at myself for having so many expectations. I had hoped the turnout of the event would make us bond well and get to know each other better. We hardly know each other's favorite meals for all the years of living together.It drained me so much that I wanted it to end so badly. I have seen the wolves around the pack with their siblings and how they relate to each other. I wish for such a connection so much. Truth be told, I have the moon goddess to blame for making me different.If I had a wolf, mayb
Edwina's POV...I jolted from my sitting position as I threw the phone on the bed, not bothering to check if it landed on a soft spot."Get me comfortable clothes to wear, Becca. I am visiting Sonia, and you're coming with me," I told her, hurrying towards the bathroom.I could feel Becca's questioning stare trailing my back."Sonia called," I informed her as I stepped back out of the bathroom. I had made my hair into a smooth ponytail. I doubted if I would be patient enough to have her make my hair."Is everything alright?""She only said she needed to see me urgently.""Are YOU ready to see her?"I paused for a while, brooding on Becca's question. She was right; it had been exhausting the last time we had been together. The last thing I wanted was to have some form of argument with her. However, she called me herself.I know she asked for my presence because she needed my help. All the same, I felt glad that I was someone she could run to for help."Whichever way it is. I will go se
Alexanders POV...The prisoners were more willing than I would have ever imagined. They seemed so focused on the training. I watched them from the makeshift operating room that had been put in place for our meetings. A secret meeting had been held back at the mines in the middle of the night, and I had decided to include Carlos and Jason in the plan. Caleb had been able to sync their loyalties, and so far, they proved to be true.I was planning to discuss how to fish out the traitors amongst us, it was a tasking deed, and the mere thought of it made my head hurt."Good day alpha!" Carlos bowed."Welcome Carlos. Where is Jason and Caleb?""On their way here." He told me, still standing.I let out a small laugh, "just sit down, Carlos. Don't strain your legs on my behalf.""Oh." He muttered, smiling. "Thank you, alpha."The next few seconds, Caleb and Jason strolled in, "took you both long enough." I joked.Jason smiled lightly, but Caleb didn't seem affected. It gets tiring trying to i
Edwina's POV...My thoughts roamed as we got closer to the home of my young years; a nostalgic feeling swept over me as I got out of the car. The house where the memories haunted my elder sister and me. The home that seemed like the safest haven, despite it being the beginning and end of our torment.Just as I attempted to walk into the house, Becca pulled me back by my hand."What are you doing, Luna Edwina?" She questioned.I stared at her in confusion, "what do you mean?""I am sorry if it seems like I was eavesdropping on your conversation, but didn't she say he was alive?"I nodded my head, "all the same, it's necessary for me to affirm his presence if he is.""Fine," Becca responded, not sounding convinced. Turning to the driver, she told him, "if you don't see us out in ten to fifteen minutes, come find us."I chuckled lightly, "nothing would go wrong. You are too paranoid." I was trying to sound more convincing to myself than I was to Becca.Stepping onto the porch of the hous
