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
Edwina's POV...I didn't know how else to thank Xander for making my bid without me necessarily asking. The sex made my bones straighten up, and the quick bath I had made me feel refreshed altogether. When he went to clean himself up, my nose found the laid platter of chicken and salad. My stomach growled in excitement at the sight of it. Without thinking, I dipped my hand into it, eating with relish.His throat clearing got my attention as he moved towards me. "Didn't think to wait up for me?"I gulped down hard on some chewed part, "I'm really sorry, I just couldn't resist the aroma. I'm so hungry." I said, tearing another part, chewing on it rapidly as it reached my mouth."Where were you all through the day?" He questioned, his expression morphing into something I couldn't explain.The chicken hung in my throat, and I almost spat it out on his face. The steamy moment we had made me temporarily forget the matter at hand."Oh, about that. I'm sorry I missed your call." I began tryin
Authors POV...Caleb slumped into his chair, feeling like the world's burden was carried by him. The day had been a tough one, and many more of this day would follow until they had been able to conquer the sizzlers. The training had gone well without a glitch; it made him feel good knowing they were making progress. He had returned to the office due to the distress call he had received from Xander. His mind was too preoccupied to actually hear him right. However, since he was returning to work, he thought he might as well call him back.Dialing Xander's line, he picked on the first ring. Caleb chuckled, "miss me that much?""Shouldn't you be glad I do?" Xander's voice boomed from the receiver."It's obvious there is a limited time you can go without me. Whichever way, I will always be by your side, baby."There was a slight pause, "I should tell Edwina to be careful of you around me. I really like my Luna, not you."Caleb laughed lightly, picking up a pen from the table and tossing it
Authors POV...The cool breeze hit her nerves, and the need to shift and run around the woods was imminent. But she felt lazy at the same time, the day had been long, and all she wanted was to take a stroll and clear her head. Working with royals made life uneasy for the mere workers, as their needs must be placed first before yours. But truth be told, the distraction was necessary.If the Luna hadn't been so preoccupied with her own problems, she would have been wallowing in the self-pity and depression she found herself in the past week.Becca heaved as she walked towards the foot of the large rock tree that looked good enough to sit on. Everyone like to call it the protective tree as it overlooked the whole of the night howler's pack. It is just some minutes away from the palace. Easing herself to the ground, she inhaled the familiar scent of a cold night, holding her leg up to her chest. The serenity calmed her nerves, and she felt more relaxed.Tears formed in her eyes as she loo
