Edwina's POV...I was feeling restless again since Sonia had been brought to the palace. I couldn't find it in myself to check up on her. I wasn't sure if I wanted to see her or not; everything just seemed more complicated. I had tried to distract myself by heading to the library that had become my safe haven to keep my mind occupied.The moment I opened up a book, it reminded me of Ben. The description of the hero was almost in tune with Ben's identity. I felt some energy surge through my inner thighs at the mere thought of him.Truth be told, he still had some hold on me without necessarily being around. I missed him. Shutting my eyes tightly, I tried to get the thoughts out of my head. Xander would have my head thrown into the depths of the sea if he ever caught me thinking of the man who had almost ruined his life.The thought of his men lingering around the night howler's pack lingered in my mind. It was my duty as the Luna to protect my people next to my husband. I couldn't let
Edwina's POV...The first thing to note about Sonia is; she is extremely rude and condescending. Even if I was her younger sister, I'm still the Luna of the pack, and she needed to put some respect for my name. I had not seen her act grateful since I brought her back from the cell. She should be grateful to me for saving her from that hell hole and whatever illusion she had of her life being threatened.Having her stand over me and talk to me, whichever way she liked, was making me very annoyed. I watched as Becca tried her hardest to keep a straight face. Sonia knew exactly what she was doing, trying to trigger my anger. But, the moon goddess had my mind sitting pretty, and I had no intention of getting angry. My day had been quite moody; it was unnecessary to add Sonia's pettiness.Seeing I wouldn't budge, she eventually sat in front of me. Throwing me a death glare."Why the hell did you come here to disrupt my peace?" She threw at me.I rolled my eyes, "can we both pretend to be d
Authors POV...He watched as she chewed on the lobster seductively, dipping it with so much intention into the mayonnaise and sliding her tongue on every inch of it. He couldn't help the smile that spread at her audacious attitude.She was really trying to get him turned on, and she was doing great at it. Caleb felt the urge to grab her from her seat, turn her back against him, and thrust into her while spanking her ass hard.It felt like a dream come true for him to be in the same space with Ramona without having to beef her or hide his feelings. He had fucked and orgasmed with her, and it's becoming a habit. When she hadn't replied to the text he had sent to her at first, he thought she had given up on having anything to do with him. To his amusement, she had returned the text two days later, saying she was game.To impress her, he had booked a reservation at one of the fanciest restaurants around to make her feel special. They hadn't said much to each other since she arrived. Ramon
Authors POV...Becca tapped her feet on the hard floor persistently, biting her lips nervously as she stared into space, awaiting a particular figure.The Luna had sent her on an urgent errand that couldn't be put on hold and, at the same time, needed to be done discreetly. After she and Edwina had left Sonia's temporary home, she had been told to find Carlos to help discover the unfaithful wolves amongst them.Carlos had been busy all day and wasn't chanced to see her until he got off duty in the evening. To avoid missing him, she had taken it upon herself to head down to his office to find him. When she did sight his silhouette figure, he appeared exhausted.She felt guilty sighting him. It was her fault he had to be out here when he could be in his home resting and shedding the day's stress off."I feel so bad right now." Becca confessed, still biting hard on her lips, as he came close.Carlos gave her an amused look. He did look tired but wasn't so exhausted to the point of not ac
Authors POV...Folding her arms over her chest, she stared at him curtly. It was obvious he had something on his mind. However, he resorted to stomping around the house, arranging and rearranging things. Caleb acted like a child that had been deprived of some goodies. He had his neck out with his shoulders sagging after him. Becca thought of actually saying something, but she was pissed at him for acting awkward with Carlos.The last time he had seen them together, his reaction today had been the same. If it wasn't so apparent that he was into another woman, she would have thought he was reacting out of jealousy.Ever since he claimed to be in love, Caleb had become sort of selfish.His feelings made him oblivious to the effect his love-struck heart had on someone like herself. Becca wanted to hold him from behind, hug his back tight to her chest, and fill all of him. He looked so sexy and tempting, unintentionally, her teeth pulled at her lips softly, making her let out an almost ina
Authors POV...Carlos stared out into the open as he watched the Omega warriors train. The discussion he had with Becca from last night had bugged him throughout the night.He thought of possible ways to expose the betrayers amongst them. Even if he had to suspect his most loyal men, he would do all that it takes to protect the night howler's pack.It was a debt he had to pay; his pledge to be loyal to the alpha was never to be broken. Alpha Xander might seem cold from the outside, but he had the most considerate heart, just like his late father.Xander had saved him from the cold hands of the sizzlers during the war. He had taken the hit that made him crippled on his behalf. Whenever he set his eyes on the alpha, it reminded him of what he would have become if he wasn't such a thoughtful leader.All through the war, Xander was more concerned about protecting the lives of his warriors and did his very best to ensure so.It seems surprising that people go around to talk about him as we
Edwina's POV.....I couldn't stay still; the thoughts of Sonia probably lying to get me off her back made the hair on my skin stand. I hoped so bad she wasn't playing mind games.Becca had told me she had already informed Carlos, and he promised to get back to us. Xander didn't notice my distance much since his mind was preoccupied, just like mine.The stress was weighing on him too much, and it bothered me. The need to be of good use was stronger than ever.I have decided to find some other means to expose Ben and his cohorts if Sonia's Intel turns out to be a lie. I had decided to come to the library and distract myself a bit. For every page I turn, my mind turns its own page multiple times, making my heart race every second that passes.How long would it take for him to find out if they truly had the marks? Why is he not forthcoming? Was Sonia lying? I held onto my head. At this rate, I might lose my mind and still not have any solution to the matter at hand.Jolting up like I had
Authors POV...Staring into the evening sky, as it went from Golden orange to dark shades of grey, it soothed her mind. It felt safe being here, even though it hadn't been the best moments. She was paying for her sins; the moon goddess was considerate and had brought a good-hearted sister her way.Sonia smiled at the thought of Edwina's pure joy when she had felt her belly the last time she came visiting.Different thoughts kept her mind awake, thoughts of how it would have been different if she hadn't grown up thinking she was better than her sister because she had a wolf. She thought of how things would have turned out if she had stood up to her father and protected her younger sister, like every elder sister would do.It wasn't a thing of surprise, though. Sonia was an exact version of her father, while Edwina had taken after their dead mother. Her soft-heartedness had been taken for granted by their father. Edwina was barely three days old when their mother died, but till her deat
