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
Authors POV...John swiftly hid behind the tree when he noticed a pair of eyes locking in on his. He would never miss those eyes for anything in the world. They were no other than Edwina's eyes. It's been a while since he had seen her, she had morphed into a beautiful woman, and she obviously did look a bit like her mother, but not as much as Sonia. Sonia is the exact carbon copy of her mother.He wondered what Edwina had been doing in the house. Since he married her off to the then Beta Ben, he had not set his eyes on her again. He had married her off to Benedict at a handsome price, just when he needed it the most.If Edwina was here, then definitely something must have happened to Sonia, maybe. He was really hoping Jared would get back to him and let him know the success of the plan. Surveying the environment again, he went into the house through an underground step he had made if the need for escape ever occurred.His faked death and disappearance had never been in the plan before
Edwina's POV...I put a hand on my chest, feeling my heartbeat. It was beating extremely fast. I didn't want to start acting like a maniac or be considered as one. When Becca asked if I was okay, I only nodded slightly, unsure of what to say.She already thought my sister was crazy and wouldn't hesitate to say I was experiencing a phase too. I would need to go back to Sonia and ask her for the exact truth and why she thinks dad wants to kill her, especially if he was considered dead."Can you please take me back to the prison yard?" I told the driver."As you please ma'am." He replied, making a turn back to the road leading to the prison yard.I have been thrown into a series of shocks in just a day. I didn't know exactly how I was feeling. At this moment, I would do anything just to forget my sorrows and worry about them later. Thinking of that sent waves to my pussy. Even in this present situation, the thought of fucking Xander felt comforting."Want to share?" Becca asked meekly, s
Alexander's POV...I plopped myself on the room couch, feeling exhausted. My men informed me Edwina had been going back and forth to the prison. To make matters worse, she didn't pick up any of my calls. It got me on edge. Despite knowing she was in safe hands, it just pisses me off that she didn't see it fit enough to put a call through to me.It was obvious she prioritized her sister over her own husband. Curiosity nagged at my being as I kept trying to think of what had transpired during the day. Anxiety was never a good look for me. Caleb insisted I wait for her at home and not follow her like I had intended. He was right. If I ever wanted our relationship to work, I had to have a little bit of faith in her as a person.I hadn't had dinner yet. When I got offered, I couldn't help eating alone, knowing my wife was on her way home. Instead, I had told them to send over the dinner of chicken and salad to our room. I don't want to lose sight of her whenever she comes in.About an hour
