*****Alpha Cain's POV*****“Diane! Diane!”I called out to her, but she wouldn't budge. I became confused and blamed myself and my wolf.“Cam, what have you done!” I yelled at my wolf.“She's our mate!”“She wasn't. You just marked her and made her our mate!” I yelled at him.“No, Cain, she's our mate!” I instantly swept my wolf off my mind. This can't be happening. I know I never should have marked her without any prior notice, but I don't understand why she isn't waking up. This was all new and strange to me. Could it be because I marked the wrong mate?“Diane dear, please wake up?” I shook her rigorously but she didn't budge. This won't do. I quickly picked her up from the bed and took her to the bathtub where I immersed her in cold water, hoping that would help sober her up, but I was wrong. That didn't work either. This put me in a state of panic.What should I do now? I can't send for doctor Ariana. It is too far away from home. Neither can I send for Fox, this is surely out
*****Gina's POV*****I stared at Anna in shock. She wasn't wrong about what she said. The dream I had was about my wolf, though I didn't understand what my wolf had said. I slowly took my hand to my neck and noticed that it was true. I have been marked by Cain. Not only that, I could also feel my powers, but now, I could feel that I've become even more powerful than I felt before. “How do you feel?” Anna asked with concerned filled eyes. “I feel better. I'm afraid, I feel even better than I had felt before,” I said with a smile. I couldn't hide just how happy I was. “Now that you feel better, I think you should go see him. He needs some explanations, from what I can tell.”Gosh! I had almost forgotten about Cain and what happened. “Do you think I should tell him? I'm thinking of not talking about it.”“Until when? Gina, you can't keep shying away from this. He needs to know the truth, you know. The more you try to cover it up, the more complicated it will become for the both of yo
*****Alpha Cain's POV*****I suddenly felt a terrible pain in my heart when Diane or should I say Gina showed me the seal in her chest. It was the one my mom confirmed from Diane herself. It was almost the same. Last night, when we had sex, I never saw such a mark on her. So, it was impossible that she would have it tattooed on her skin out of the blue. “If you are the true Gina, who am I married to?”“You're married to my half sister, Diane. You've always known me to be the half sister to Diane, but in reality, she is the half sister, not me.”I covered my face with both hands. I can't bring myself to digest the truth in front of me. How did things change from what I've known it to be overnight?Just then, I raised my head up to meet her gaze.“Why didn't you tell me you were Gina? Why?”“How could you say that? Weren't you there when I got punished for saying I am the true Luna? No one believed me, but was quick to believe her.”“That was because she bears the mark. No one would ha
*******Alpha Cain's POV******Getting to the pack, I tried the best I could to control my anger. To think that I have been manipulated all these while made me feel a high pitch of disgust for Diane. That's her real name. And she dared to lie about her identity and married me. If I had been so obedient in playing my role, I would have had her mark. By then, it would have been very difficult for me to get out of the mess she created. I would have been forever in her web, languishing. Getting into the pack house, I shut my eyes and took in a deep breath. I need to control my anger at this point. No matter how mad I am at the moment, I cannot let her find out. I need to play things by ear. Fox was the first I saw the moment I walked into the pack house. “Alpha Cain, where were you all night? Didn't you see the missed calls on your phone? You got me all worried last night, thinking that you had been ambushed by the enemy.”“Seeing the worried look on Fox's expression, I realized that in
****Gina's POV****Finally revealing the truth of what happened to Cain suddenly gave me a kind of peace I couldn't describe. It seemed as if a burden had been lifted off me. Of course, it was a burden. I took a glance at Cain while he was driving me back to the Blue Moon Pack. I smiled, feeling complete. All the while, I thought I was just and content with my life. Little did I know that this was the true meaning of contentment. A feeling when I don't need to worry about a thing. Whether being discovered or afraid of, but being loved genuinely by him. The moment we arrived at the gates to the pack, Cain halted, he took a glance at me with a sad-looking expression. “Why don't you come with me now? I'm sure we can settle things once and for all.”“I would have loved to come with you, but as it stands, I would rather not give her the chance to lie her way out. I promise that the moment I'm ready, we'll go over this once and for all. I want you to trust me. Can you?”“Of course, I tru
****Alpha Cain's POV*****Fox was in great shock after I had narrated everything to him. With all the incidents that had been occurring, he was now convinced of the fact that Diane is indeed the scarlet witch and my mate. “Alpha, now that you know the truth, why don't we drag out the despicable woman in front of the pack and make her pay for all the atrocities she has committed right under our very nose?”“I also want to do that too, Fox. Trust me. But then, doing that without proof will put the pack in doubt. For this reason, I think the best thing to do for now is to put everything in place. I want my Luna back in my pack, and the only way I can do that, is to get the bitch to confess to her crimes. “Alpha Cain, you and I know she's not going to confess to her crimes that easily. To know what her mom was in on it as well is quite perplexing you know.”“I need to get this terrible mother and daughter out of my pack, but then, driving them away wouldn't do any good. I know their typ
*****Diane's POV****No, no, no. This can't be happening now. Why today of all days. What am I going to do now? I can't believe I'm about to let the opportunity of being with him finally pass me by just like that. How could this happen to me at this very moment?“Uhm, okay. I understand how you feel. I think you should have some rest now. Probably, you'll send it to me when you are feeling better, I suppose?”“Of course, I will come to you personally, love.” He stared at me for a while. At that moment, I was too scared to look in his direction. I was filled with guilt. What if he ever finds out that I had actually lied to him? Sure not, he would never find out. The moment he left my room, I rushed into the bathroom. “Arrrgh!” I screamed out loud in pain. Quickly I took off the dress I was putting on and stared at my chest, which was all flawless without the sign of a mark. That was close. What would I have done if he found out I had no mark? I shuddered in fright, mere thinking of
*****Alpha Cain's POV*****“Son, I'm so glad you wanted to have dinner with me. But why don't we invite Luna. I'm sure she will be glad to be here with us, you know.”“No, mom, I only want to talk to you.”“Son, why are you doing this? Is the Luna truly not to your liking? Is that why you don't want her around you?”“It's more complicated than what you think, mom.”“I see nothing complicated here. She's your mate and you should treat her fairly. I hate to go over this again.”“This is why I wanted to have a word with you alone. Now that I've gathered solid evidence, I think it's time to let you know about what's going on.”My mom stared at me weirdly. If only I could spare her the truth, I would have done so, but as it stands, she needs to know the most since she was the one who declared Diane as the scarlet witch. “I'm all ears. I really wish to hear what you have to say. “Mom, I know you might not believe what I'm about to say, but I want you to know that I'm not going to lie abou
