“Well loving someone and enjoying someone’s company are not the same thing” she argued making me smile in return. She was naturally stubborn and could not give up easily“What you think I am stupid for thinking that way?” She asked obviously offended “Beatrix stop! You know I have never and would never think you stupid, I just find you cute the way you never give up” I said honestly and that made her blush a little“Okay What about me do you think you can ever love me the way you love her?” She asked obviously fishing and wanting hope but I promised her honesty and I would give that to her“Beatrix I honestly love and cherish you and your company and maybe in another scenario or life we might have been a couple but in any situation Beatrice is in then I would always choose Beatrice to you” I said knowing that it definitely would hurt her but if anything my near death experience has thought me it was that I would die for Beatrice and it was cruel to lead any one else to believe other
Beatrice POV I woke up feeling refreshed as I got ready to go out, I knew I had prior engagements in the outskirts of town but my heart was in the hospital where Duncan was, I felt the insane urge to go to him, stay with him and apologize to his unconscious body why I was not by his side all through last night but I knew if I headed towards Duncan I would definitely not leave his side to do anything else and what I wanted to did today was important and as it was weekend I needed to get it done today before a new week began and so I entered my vehicle and drove in the opposite direction heading out of town while wishing I was with Duncan . I drove for a while as I headed out of town, i have never heard of Glinda’s cottage neither have I been there but last night during our discussion Charlie kind of directed me towards it and told me how to find it and so here I was driving to a location I have never visited before with the obvious realization that at least two people I know of want
I watched Glinda’s face as I tried to read her facial expression but she just stared at me smiling “Honey are you going to stare at me all day or you are going to ask me the questions you came here to ask” she said to me breaking the silence and bringing me back from my staring contest that I was losing as she turned and took up her cup of herbal tea and drank from it “Hhm hm” I cleared my throat “Yes sorry” I apologized “I can ask you anything right?” I inquired wanting to know how well versed and knowledgeable she was “Yes anything but I am not promising I would answer all you questions as I have my limits and even if I might know the answers to your question I would not answer any that might have a ripple effect” she responded honestly which was fair “okay!” I said “first do you know if it is possible to have a mate bond for someone and yet the person won’t have one for you?” I asked as I looked at her attentively “Ooh” she coughed as she took her tea cup she was about drinking
BEATRICE POV I had no idea what had just happened or how much I could trust Glinda or her readings but so far Glinda has been honest with me, I find it hard to believe that anyone could glimpse someone’s fate but then with what I have seen which happens to be a lot of questionable things that I never thought possible, for one I saw our goddess, Selene herself and she brought me back to from the dead but not just that took me back in time as well so with all these experiences I have had if there is anyone who should have an open mind about the supernatural and its possibility it should be me and so I got into my car and drove south not knowing exactly where I was going. I drove for more than an hour as it took me to the opposite direction, to the outskirts of town and I was beginning to realize how much I did not know about how big this valley. As I drove while looking around trying to see if I would see whatever it is Glinda said I won’t miss it was I then I saw something. There wa
Duncan knew what Beatrix true intentions were with Beatrice and so the moment she had tried to get her attention and suggest a private moment with her he knew that he needed to stop it immediately as that confrontation might only cause more harm to both parties than good and he did not want them fighting because of him. Having listen to Beatrix thoughts all morning as she dissected his feelings for Beatrice and Beatrice’s true intentions for him had managed to make him question Beatrice true feelings for him but yet as Beatrice stood before him at this moment he felt like the woman before him would never lie to him, he did not know why but he felt deep down like he could trust her, it was that knobs of feeling her has when he searches for her and knows she is fine even when she is no where around him, almost like a supernatural link with her soul and that feeling tells him her can trust her with his life and as he watched her closely he noticed that her attention was not with him rath
BEATRICE POV I was disappointed with how fast the alpha just left just like that when I had thought I would use this was to know everything he was hiding “Did you get anything?” I asked Duncan going closer to sit by his side“Nothing much. When you mentioned may I heard regret and then nothing like he suspected I was reading him” he is an alpha it won’t be strange if he could sense Duncan can read his thoughts and then blocked him I said thinking about it “Why is Bianca scared of you and thinks you will kill her” Royce asked suddenly reminding me of Bianca as I had totally forgotten about her and her pathetic existence “Ooh... that” I said dismissively “it’s nothing” I replied “That did not look like nothing, she genuinely thinks you would kill her” Duncan asked“Maybe Because I am actually going to kill her” I said as a matter of fact not bothering to hide anything from Royce “Heyyy” he scolded me “that’s rude”“Trust me Duncan she deserves it” I said honestly, as if anyone des
“What will you do now!?”That was a very good question I did not have answers to yet but I could tell that time was not on my side as a lot of things already has been accelerated “Bianca’s part is simple. I will kill her with my bare hands the end” I said certain about that outcome“Beatrice you are not killing anyone” Duncan countered and I hated this side of him that was always noble and always forgiving “Duncan she almost killed you!” I said reminding him as he probably had forgotten that part “The girl is scared shitless trust me she has learnt her lesson there is no need to hurt her” if not for the fact I own him I would think he and Bianca has a thing “Besides you killing another werewolf unprovoked would earn you sanction and probably imprisonment from the council even if you are an alpha” he reminded me of the law“Oooh trust me this is very provoked” I said stubbornly “Beatrice look at me” he said probably realizing I was getting stubborn and This was the best way to ca
A nurse opened the door as Delphine stepped in before the nurse who then stepped out and closed the door behind her once more. I had told Delphine to ask for my room when she showed up and must have and that is why she was escorted here. Delphine walked in and stopped once she saw Duncan and I as we both had sat up but she must have been shocked to see us on the bed next to each other but she quickly composed herself and walked in“I brought everything you asked for”she said to me while lifting up the nylon she held in her hand“Luna are you not well?” She asked trying to understand why I and Duncan was in a hospital and given I ordered the meal and said it was my ward she probably thought I was the one who came in for medical help“That would be me” Duncan said trying to make her aim her questions at him as she was obviously in a state of confusion“What happened to you Duncan?” She asked adopting a sweet and caring voice while walking briskly over to Duncan side of the bed to put h
Bianca stood by the hallways as she still listened in on the alpha, he sounded extremely furious at what had just happened as he cursed and swore He cursed Them both and all the gods imaginable in his speech. As Bianca listened in she could not help but feel she was doomed, with what just transpired she knew she would eventually be in trouble, she was in a dilemma, at first before both parties ended up the way they just did she thought about staying under the radar and waiting for whatever outcome, at first she deduced that Olivia would cave and run out of the valley allowing her to find a way to corner the alpha and either make him marry her or kill his off with a way to become Luna after his untimely death, it was a nice flow if that happened but then again she thought of the possibility of Olivia sticking with Royce and they both seek a full out war, she thought if that happens she would lay low and watch for both parties to kill each other and expose its losers and winners. It
BEATRICE POV Yes, yes we should let it slide and leave with our lives, how is this even a debate, can he not see a stupid revenge was not worth his life? “You just want to fight him because of your hunger for vengeance, you don’t care if this hunger of yours kills you or even me, I guess all is fair trade provided you win in the end” I shouted at him, this man has a way of always getting on my nerves, always! What I said seem to get to him, he fell quiet the moment i said it and I suddenly felt very bad, I know this was an argument and I am very angry but I never wanted to hurt him“Do you really feel I don’t care about you or if you live?” He suddenly asked, I know I just accused him of of that but if I am being honest I do not believe it, I know duncan, I know this man and I know he would rather die than watch anything happen to me, he just proved it some time back when he took a silver blade to his chest, then he did not know silver would not have a fatal effect on him and yet
BEATRICE OV This was not something to debate with myself over, I did not need to think if i wanted to stay and fight for justice and my position as alpha or if I wanted to take Duncan and leave, none of that mattered one bit, the only thing that mattered was the man by my side and I know that in a full out war there were no rules, everyone becomes a target, I can live with dying, I have done it before, it’s not that bad except the part of eternal regret but what I cannot live with is Duncan dying, i will never leave in a world that takes him from him, Duncan dying will shake me to my very foundation. At this moment I know adolf was manipulating me, you don’t need an expert to see what he was doing and what he aims to achieve with it but what he was using to manipulate me was very potent, it would not fail and he knew it. suddenly it all made sense “Is that why you insisted I come alone and not bring Royce ?” I asked him suddenly getting his odd request. At first I assumed he put
Bianca really hates it and wonders what everyone sees in her, why for some reason everyone wants her approval, she did not matter. She is just inconsequential, a spoilt brat that does things out of a wimp, the same one who ran away from the villa simply because she was bored, there were werewolves in the villa who would kill for the opportunity she has and yet, time and time again she has abused and thrown away such opportunities and yet they kept coming to her. what made her so special?Why can’t everyone see she does not deserve everything she has?why can’t they all see that?If there was anyone in the valley who deserves to be treated as a princess, begged in for opinion in issues that matters and should be worshiped by all men, it should be her not that stupid princess!Beatrice was just some brainless little princess that had no brain and maybe just a little beauty and yet the way she manages to awe and control those around her was just annoying and wrong. Now she has the two
Bianca could not believe what she was hearing, the way he was accepting to killing people, the choking sound, the claim of mind reading, everything was off, this has to be some practical joke on their parts, they know she was listening in on them, they have to, that is why they are talking and acting this way, that was the only explanation that made sense of not then everything was just wrong!!!! Earlier today the alpha had called Beatrice to his home office and had instructed her to tell the kitchen staff to cook meals of different delicacies as Beatrice would be coming over for dinner, furthermore she was instructed to dismiss them all after that while she was to stay behind and assist, naturally Beatrice went into panic mode, she suspected the alpha yelling her to stay behind as a guise of assisting had to be Beatrice doing; Bianca knew Beatrice knows about her attack on her life with that assassin debacle, she knew for a fact the attack came from her and she even confronted her w
Adolf knew he had no reason to lie, maybe he is ever a little bit but the bottom line is he is telling the truth, this really is a bummer. He cracked his head thinking of a way out but could not see one, his advantage was that, they did not want him dead rather wanted him to pay and rot in cell or probably a death sentence, but they wanted it done legally. That was his advantage while he on the other hand did not care about such things as due process, he was going to get the job done by any means possible. Right now he wants to offer them a bargain, he plans on using Duncan as the extra bargaining chip, and probably the most important one and he would use him to make them take his deal. If they do take this deal then he would be in the clear, there was no one else to challenge him, maybe just that person who is trying to kill Beatrice, but by all attack the unknown person seems to have eyes only for her but if by chance he clears this hurdle and the unknown person were to come for
Adolf was totally taken off guard by what had just happened to him, one moment he was speaking and smiling and the next moment he was choking on his on words. Adolf massaged his neck at the spot where he was just choked, it felt so real, almost like someone was really on top on him applying pressure to his neck, if not that he had his eyes open all along he would have sworn Duncan had attacked him and pressed his neck. Adolf have always know duncan was a magician or “forbidden” as it is called here, after all he was the one who stole him from his parents and country but he never suspected he had powers. When staying with the forbiddens he learnt a lot about them and their culture, and during that time he came to understand those powers as well as he realized that though all forbiddens are gifted in the art of spells and spoken magic but very very few had the ability to exhibit real magic emitting from within the individual. To get a handle of your magic they had to train right fro
BEATRICE POVI looked at him and simply nodded to him, he instantly understood what I meant by that as we put our hands into our pockets and fished out our mobile devices, we both switched it off and placed it in front of us on the table surface. HE smiled broadly at the act, pleased, I could tell he did not know how we would have acted to that his request as well and his behavior was one that seemed like he just wanted to talk honestly and openly without any body listening in or recording our talk, I am sure he did not want anyone listening in on what he had to say and the confessions he was would possible agree to He gestured for Bianca to come forward with his hand and she did promptly“Bianca, please take these devices and step out for a bit, we want to have a personal conversation together and when we are all done here I will call back for you” She nodded politely and stretched for our phones, taking it off the table before heading for the exit, we all waited patiently as she l
BEATRICE POVDuncan and I briefed melly on what was going on. We told her about what we think happened to May’s mother, and about the impromptu visit we just got and how we intend to honor the invitation, we then tasked her with the protection of May while we were gone. It was obvious that the alpha and his goons had no idea that May was still alive and even though I was certain of that, but in the off chance that we were wrong and this is just one deceitful plan to get Me out the way while the make another attack on May, so I knew that I could not let my guard down. I instructed her to lock the everywhere and stay indoors and no matter what happens she is not to open the door for anyone except Duncan and I and with how secure the house was not, it would be virtually impossible to come inside without those inside knowing about the intrusion. Those were the instructions I specifically gave and I was confident they would be fine but then again there is duncan. All my plans to subve
