Lance's POV.What the hell is taking their time, it's been thirty minutes and still no sign of the guard or Elaine.I don't have the patience to wait for her, but here I am, because I need to clarify exactly who she is and why I found her belonging at the crime site, two possible places that could have been the hideout.Also, now that I know she was one of the people there, I need to know who she was meeting at that spot. I want to find out what shady business she was doing at that place. I start pacing, wondering what the hell is keeping them, when I check my time again, fifteen minutes have gone by and still no sign of the guard or the woman in question.The guard soon comes barrelling into the meeting room, sweat dripping from his face and his pants filling the room."What's wrong, I clearly told you to come with her and it's been forty-five minutes already, do you think I have the time and the patience for you to dilly dally around?" I ask him and he shakes his head in apology."
Allyssa's POV.Elaine's words leave me shocked and rattled and try as I might, I don't think I can brush her off anymore, her words are sinking in, and I hate that, I hate that I'm letting her words get to me, but she is my aunt, it's not like she is Belinda whom I know is against me.This is my aunt I'm talking about, but then again Lance is my mate, and I am supposed to know my mate like the back of my palm, so why am I here doubting him like he is just a phantom in my life.I breathe hard, Elaine looked really scared and dead serious, hell, she was even crying, my heart wrenches and folds over in my chest as I picture her teary face trying to convince me that her life is in danger.I stand up from my position on the sofa and start pacing, what the hell makes her believe that the Alpha is after her life and why in the world is after her life in the first place, assuming her suspicions are in fact correct.But then again, why am I thinking like Aunt Elaine is right and the Alpha is w
Lance's POV.As I stare at her and see that fucking smirk I almost come undone, rage pouring through me in waves as I think of the different ways I'm going to rip her head from her body."You called me Alpha" , she repeats, one brow raised as if to ask exactly why I called her."Who are you?" I ask, I never actually liked her and right now, I am feeling really aggressive, but I need answers first, before I work on my rage."I'm Elaine, you know who I am, why do you ask?" She still has that smug look on her face as she replies, and I'm very sure that she is trying to rile me up, if that's her goal, it's actually working, because I punch the desk before me.I don't just punch it, I punch 'through' the desk, leaving a gaping hole right where my fist punched through. She gasps looking shocked, "What's going on?Why are you being so aggressive?" She asks and the question makes me laugh, hard in her face."Tell me the truth now you imposter, who the fuck are you?, Why are you here? Why are
Allyssa's POV.The shock on my face must show because he is taken aback, I feel a lot of emotions at this point, disgust, rage, anger, sadness, I feel betrayed.I think I'm going to vomit, I look at him like he is sick, deranged, unstable, and honestly, he is.She warned me, she came to me and begged me to save her from him, but I denied, maybe if I had not denied all the facts she told me, if I had not brushed all of it off as hysterics, she would still be alive.When I look at her again, her body mangled on the floor, I bend over and vomit in one of the shrubs.When I turn back to look at the Alpha, the blood on his hands, on his face and his clothes tells me everything I need to know, tells me who exactly is responsible for this crime.I watch his face closely, wondering why the hell he had to do this, a tear gleams on his face and I am taken aback, I feel the urge to laugh at him.Why is he crying? The almighty Alpha? Why is he showing this emotion? He fucking killed my aunt! My o
Lance's POV.I'm angry and frustrated, Allyssa has succeeded in making me utterly enraged, she is not even giving me the chance to speak for myself, she just up and assumed that I was at fault, and I guess in a way I am, but I wasn't the one that killed the woman and she is not allowing me to clear myself.And I am even more angry when she just threatens to end our relationship, like it's some superficial bond, like the mating bond means nothing to her, it makes me so angry that my wolf growls. I'm so angry, rage fills my head, my vision turning red and dangerous.I look at as she speaks, barely registering her words, my head feels like it's about to burst, she is shaking, from whatever emotions are rocking her body, her eyes are red and bloodshot, the tears still falling in torrents like it's not going to end.When she says that she wants to end our relationship, I laugh in her face, the laughter just erupts from the pit of my stomach, bubbling it's way out of my mouth with an intens
Belinda's POV.HappinessHow long does it last? Because mine suddenly seems to last forever.When last did I smile and treat myself to a bottle of wine and a pedicure? I think I'll do that right now, I'm so happy I feel like I'm going to combust, I am so happy that I persevered, I am finally getting very close to my goal.This is the happiest I have been in ages, I'm not even lying.The look on the Alpha's face when Allyssa told him that she did not want to be his mate anymore, and the broken look on Allyssa's face as she flung baseless accusations at the Alpha.Their relationship is at rock bottom and I am so very happy about it, I cannot believe that idiot Allyssa.I'm convinced at this point that her brain is only for decoration and she does not use it to think at all, it's all for fancy.I laugh out loud and pick a bottle of champagne that I iced in a bucket, pouring the sparkling white wine in a glass, the paper brownish-gold color excites me.I lift it to my lips and taste the b
Allyssa's POV. My emotions are all over the place, I can't believe anything that happened in the last twenty four hours, I cannot believe that my aunt that talked to me some hours ago is no more, and that my mate killed her. I moved into a blank room, with only a bed and a chair, the room seems empty, and lacks life, just like my life at this moment. I wanted to move to Elaine's old room, but that would hurt too much, it's like I am relieving my mother's death over again, I cannot even believe that I am back to square one. The Alpha had been so enraged when we had our last conversation, but he had no right to be, I saw it very well with my own eyes, the blood splattered on his hands, his face, his clothes. He could not convince me that someone else had killed her and splattered the blood on his hands, his face and his clothes. I just need space, I need a place to retreat to and cool my head, a place to nurse my wounded heart. I also cannot believe that Belinda had come immediate
Lance's POV. The sweat drips down my back as I head back to the room, I needed to clear my head and figure out exactly what is going on around me, and what better way to do it than to pour all my rage on the punching bag, which now lays in pieces on the gym floor by the way. Now that I have had some time to think about my actions and cool off, I find that I actually have done some things wrong, first and foremost my approach. That slap was well deserved because when Allyssa had talked about her aunt, no, Elaine, I had laughed in her face, with Elaine's dead body a few meters from me and her blood on my hands. That had been a completely unacceptable approach to the issue, in my defense, I didn't want to laugh, it just bubbled out of me without control, but it was still wrong. And I also get the reason she would have to doubt me, she witnessed me crouching over Elaine's body, her blood on my hands, face and clothes, telling her immediately that I was not wrong would have been like
