Chapter 160Antonio's povThe air in the room was electric, charged with an almost palpable sense of anticipation and forbidden desire. My heart raced against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat echoing the rhythm of my racing thoughts. I knew this was wrong, a betrayal of Sonia, a violation of the promises I'd whispered to her under the pale moonlight of our love night. Yet, here I was, standing in my own bedroom, Bella's hand trembling in mine.She'd looked at me with such innocent curiosity when I'd summoned her to the room, a stark contrast to the tempest raging inside me. Her large, dark eyes were pools of yearning, her lips parted slightly as if she couldn't quite believe the audacity of my request. I'd been playing with fire, teasing her with stolen glances and suggestive smiles, fueling the embers of her desire until it finally erupted into a blaze. Now, the flames threatened to consume me, to reduce me to ash.I gently pushed her onto the bed, the silken fabric yielding beneath her w
Chapter 161Sonia's povAfter what seemed like forever, we were able to get into a place that looked like a shrine."what's this place?" I asked him but he didn't reply so I stopped and glared at him."what's wrong with you Sonia." "you have to be nice and be sure to answer all of my questions so I won't decide to turn back. It's been hours already. You should speak to me." I queried and when I saw that he wouldn't speak, I turned to leave."Sonia stop right there!" he commanded but I didn't care and just kept going. I was going back to the palace and if the test was so important, my lover would have to take me himself.After another extra hour, I got to the palace only to turn and see that Dennis had actually followed me back home.The air inside of the building looked very different when I got home. It was really weird that I couldn't even place my hands on it. I walked straight to Antonio's room and saw him lying on the bed alone looking really drained.The moment he saw me, he ju
Chapter 162Sonia's povHe just said she hasn't stepped her feet outside since this morning. That sounds weird. I thought as I then left the garden.I walked back into the building and headed straight to Bella's room and knocked on the door."come out Bella!" I said, my voice a bit loud.She opened the door and quickly bowed the moment she saw that it was me."greetings Luna!" she greeted and I nodded my head."I want something to eat. Cook me some yams" I said to her and walked away.A few minutes later, I heard a knock on my door while I was chilling in my room."come in," I said and she opened the door and walked in holding a tray."here is the food you asked for Luna," she said, placing it on the table."thanks. Get me some wine then close the door after you while leaving." I said not really looking at her face."Okay, Luna."That night passed and the next morning, I woke up and saw my lover beside me. I didn't expect it so I jerked up the moment I saw him."Relax," he said to me
Chapter 163Sonia's pov"So this is what you do? She is one of your chicks? What happened to our relationship Antonio? I thought we had something going on." I couldn't help but say."This is not what you think. We weren't doing a thing. I promise..." he let out immediately, denying what I had seen with both of my eyes. "before lying, start with covering your nakedness." I cut him off. Was he breaking kidding me and lying to my face about something I just witnessed?I then turned and walked out of the room while he followed me the moment he wore his underwear and a long jalamia."let me be," I said to him, entering one of the guest rooms that looked pretty empty."I'm sorry Sonia. I never expected...""to get caught. We have been together for decades. Why the hell would you want to hurt me this way?" I questioned him."I'm sorry. Yes, we have been together for decades but I have had to endure you being with another man for those same decades. Think about how I felt." he said to me.I
Chapter 164Sonia's pov"kill her!" I heard him order and my smile widened."Don't kill me. I promise to leave for good. Alpha please stop them." she pleaded.Stop them? She must have really underestimated me to even think that he would listen to her very well and displease me.I watched as the guard approached her with his sword and before she could react, her head was sent lying on the floor with her eyes wide open. Blood sprouted all over the place and it sent joy into my bones. I looked down to see my alpha looking at the floor even though he was seeing nothing in particular. The moment he confirmed she was killed, he turned back and walked in. I followed him into his office and not for once did he look up to look at me."With each passing second, you make me feel like I made the right choice. How dare you feel sad cause she is gone. You picking kill people every day." I said to him and watched as he covered his eyes and then turned up to look at me."Okay please tell me why this
Chapter 165Antonio's pov"you are asking me that? Did I ask you to harm her? You freaking killed her. Why did you kill her?" he questioned me and I stopped in my step."I didn't mean to. Sonia was very unhappy about her so I had to do what I did. I'm sorry but I didn't think you regarded her as anything either." I had to apologize to him. I know he was hurt."It's fine bro. It's just some bitch. Just get me another one. But don't touch her and ensure your woman knows she is mine." he said to me and I couldn't help but hug him.I'm so grateful for him and very happy that he understands."I need us to go release everyone who helped me get to this point," I said to him."especially Damian. He deserves to be out," he said to me and I stopped to look at him."you think it's okay to release him and he won't be a threat to me?" I asked him."I don't think so. The fact that he sacrificed his freedom for you shows he is very good. You should get him out." he said to me and that speech made me
Chapter 166Sonia's pov"Look I don't know what you think of me but I have always loved you for my daughter. You will be the alpha while I become your mother-in-law." I said to him and he walked away leaving me in a very deep thought.Later that night, I was dressing in my robe when Antonio walked in looking very tired. "Honey" I called out."what is it?" he asked me."I think it's time to give Damian what belongs to him so he won't start feeling very used," I suggested."I don't think his time. We are yet to test his capability," he replied to me."What capability are you talking about? You know he is grown and has been through a lot which of course he survived." I refused. I didn't think it was wise to let him roam around the pack as a normal human."make me get your point," he said to me."my point is. You will still be in power even as he rules. I think since this was the plan, we shouldn't delay it.""Are you sick of becoming the Luna of the pack? Aren't you happy that at least w
Chapter 167Damian's povI couldn't finish my breakfast. I was boiling in anger. The audacity to reject me for your own selfish gain. I thought as I roamed around my current room in anger as I recalled Antonio's expression. It didn't seem like he was going to do anything about me. I felt betrayed and disappointed. I must do something about this. I thought to myself and then I heard someone open my door. I turned only to see Alessia looking so angered and thought she was in her feelings because of me. I looked at the White bed in my front and couldn't help but shake my head. "so if your reward is being the alpha? What's gonna be mine for being banged?" she asked.I froze as I then recalled how I had slept with her numerous times, hoping to get caught by Leila soonest."you know that was a game plan. I'm sure you won't leave empty-handed." I had to say to her but her expression didn't look like she was buying that idea at all."Damian I don't see any reward for me. Antonio looks gree
Chapter 203Leila's povI couldn't understand why though but I knew that whatever it was, it would work in my favour."step forward Leila," the priestess said to me and I moved forward with the help of Damian. She made me kneel before the altar and then she started performing rituals over me. A few minutes later, I saw smoke coming out from the altar all at once and we had to wait for it to land. I watched it hover around the air and finally settled on me, filling me up.I shivered within and didn't know when I went unconscious.I soon opened my eyes only to see Alpha Xander staring at me. I then sat up and saw that I was being laid."you are awake," Damian said happily and quickly hugged me. Alpha Xander looked very excited. He was still seated on the wheels provided for him.I stood up and looked around my body. I felt stronger. It was weird at first as I jumped around. The energy in me was top-notch. It was only me, Damian, and Alpha Xander that were there. I think the rest chose
Chapter 202Antonio's povI didn't know if that was a good idea or a bad one cause after seven hours of leaving the pack some guards who claimed they were from the chiefs returned with my warriors' clothes stained in blood and reported to me that they had met them all dead.I felt devastated. I wasn't willing to sacrifice my daughter in the midst of all these and it felt as though I was losing it already. I didn't know what I was thinking anymore. "what's wrong? Have they been able to find her?" Sonia asked me from behind and I felt my anger rising."What did the chiefs' guards mean by they met the warriors I sent out dead? That's impossible. I will kill them all." I growled in anger and ordered my guards to go gather all the chiefs I had trusted along with the guards. These chiefs helped me get on the throne. There were other chiefs who didn't succumb to me but I had no idea where they were. They left the pack long before I came so I was going to kill the rest for failing in their j
Chapter 201Amelia's povI couldn't understand the reason Damian chose to get away from me like this so I swore to get to the root of the matter. I won't sit and watch my love life go down the drain. I loved Damian and never thought of playing with him.I made my way out of the forest and ran back to the black pool pack, keeping in mind that my father was ruling there at the moment. When I got to the gate of the palace, I paused there for a while before going in.The guards were very surprised to see me but I didn't care as it wasn't the point.It was a bright new day but I didn't think so as I walked in, looking very pissed at my existence. "where are my parents." I asked the gate at the main door of the building.He then took me in and I walked into the dining to see my parents eating breakfast when my world was shattering. "someone explain what is happening here."They looked up and were very surprised to see me. "what are you doing here Amelia?" my father asked."Oh, my child. I
Chapter 200Sonia's povI couldn't believe my eyes. Gosh! I understand that Damian is missing and he left with Leila but what has it changed? He is still the alpha. I would rather he prove to the people that he can protect them and solidify his position than this he was doing. He just killed a member and now the whole pack is in mourning. I didn't think he was right in this. We should only go after anyone who threatens our position and not innocent pack members. I turned and walked into the building after him, chasing after him."make me understand the reason for that Antonio. Do you realize you just killed someone?" I queried.He turned and faced me in the bedroom looking really scared. "Sonia I expect you to follow my lead and not ask me stupid questions. Do you realize what will happen if those two get their hands on any power and come after us again?"What the hell was he even talking about? "this is not even the point. You murdered someone you were obligated to protect. This nev
Chapter 199Antonio's pov"Search them! Fish them out right now!!!" I commanded my men as I watched them leave. Arrrrgghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!I could not control my anger anymore as my warriors matched out of the black pool pack to find Damian and Leila. I was then wondering how long they had gone missing for as I knelt on the floor at the from of the palace building. On remembering Dennis, I decided to check him out but no matter how much I searched around, he was nowhere to be found. "Where is Dennis? He was here a few minutes ago." I asked one of the guards I had right there."he left long ago. Not too long from when he came." the guard responded and I got very pissed. How could he leave again without saying goodbye?My mind was messed up and I really needed someone to talk to."you are walking around like you have mental issues," Sonia said to me, fueling my anger. "why are you doing this to me? Why are you doing this to me answer me?"I screamed at her.My anger was over the roof.
Chapter 198Leila's povAntonio was a very desperate and greedy man. We had to listen to every single thing Damian had to say and though I was still angry at him deep within me, I still think it wasn't entirely his fault.Why hurt your fellow werewolf for revenge? It just doesn't add up to me at all.Damian was still with me and the alpha. He unexpectedly went down on his knees to beg me for forgiveness. "I want you to forgive me, Lily. I know you may never want to get back into a romantic relationship with me and I'm not expecting you to or feeling entitled to it. I just want you to forgive me. I was wrong. I admit it. I should have alerted you and if I knew my sister would have died, I would have risked my life so I wouldn't have to live to witness her absence. Please don't take me back but forgive me for all the pain and disappointment I have cost you."I didn't expect this apology but either way, it brought tears to my eyes and I had to cry it out. Yes I loved him and I wasn't jok
Chapter 197Leila's pov"You look ready." the rogue appeared in our presence well covered.We looked at each other and then at the rogue. Two others then joined them, and all of a sudden they were three.I shifted back a little. I was disappointed because I never thought of fighting anyone. How was I supposed to fight more than one rogue? Seems like I would have to experience what it was like being beaten by a random rogue. I felt tired all of a sudden and then sat down on the floor. "Leila you can't do that." Damian's voice came through."I can't fight them either. I mean it's not like I am that strong. You should give up too. You aren't Alpha Xander." I told him and he realized what u was saying at that instant but still didn't want to let his guard down.The rogues looked mysterious. "Did you just say Alpha Xander?" one of them asked."yes, that's my alpha," Damian replied to them and they stood still, taking their hands like people giving up in a fight. Seeing their reactions. I
Chapter 196Leila's povDid they get attacked? I couldn't believe my ears. I had lived in the cage with the mindset that I was nothing. I had no idea that the pack was in chaos due to my disappearance. I then started feeling this special gratitude for my Alpha."But Leila... Will you ever forgive me?" I heard Damian ask. I was already making peace with myself."I think you should give me time." I said to him and he didn't argue that as we walked, trying to find our way out of the forest. "if we find ourselves out of the forest? Do you think it will be wise to get into the black pool pack though?""that will be a terrible decision to make. I'm sure you want to be spared. We just have to find a good place to be able to stick to and lay our heads. I don't know if his people have recovered from the spell I cast on them though but I know we have gone far already and are safe from that angle. The only thing to be careful about right now is ensuring we never get to see Antonio or his wife ri
Chapter 195Damian's povI didn't need anyone to tell me. I knew I had not just lost my sister. I had lost Leila too. "Leila I know that I do not deserve to be around you right now but one thing is for sure. I am really sorry and I would do anything to prove it. I know you would never want to be with me again, at least not after everything you saw right there. I want to have you. Please give me a second chance to prove myself to you over and over again." I said to her and she was in pain. She put down her head, hoping to cover her face while she cried but I wasn't willing to let her happen and instead placed her head on my lap."Damian I have no choice but to forgive you. It's okay but we can no longer be partners or mates. I cherished all the time spent together but thank you. I will officially pause it here." I heard her after a while. I couldn't believe she said that to me as I was beyond shocked. Leila forgave me? I couldn't believe my eyes and ears."Leila you really forgave me
