Lucas’s POV It's been a few days since I started giving Evelyn the antidote, and she's gotten surprisingly better; I hope Mary and Alpha Gideon don't find out about her body's recovery; though the doctor didn't promise her safe recovery, all I want is for her to recover sufficiently to allow me to get what I want from her. "How are you feeling right now?"I inquired, and she slowly raised her head to look at me; at least she can raise her head better now than she could before. "Thank you, the pain has subsided," she answered, and I nodded. "I heard your name is Evelyn, everyone thought you were dead because your mate locked you up here," I said and she furrowed her brows. “He… he is not my mate!” she forced out, and I narrowed my eyes at her, I thought he was her mate, what happened. “Alpha Gideon is not your mate?” I asked shocked, and she nodded while tears streamed down her face. “He deceived me, he deceived my father,” she said, and I was perplexed, just when I though
Andrea’s POV I wrapped my robe around my body and waited for Gamma Philip, I asked him to come over, and it appeared that he was taking too long to arrive. I sighed and walked over to the window, looking down at the people going about their business. I went to open the door when I heard a knock. Gamma Philip walked in and I instantly shut the door. His eyes swept across my figure and I smirked as I removed my robe. I stood naked in front of him, and he quickly diverted his sight from me; I wrinkled my brows and moved closer to him, touching his face, "what's wrong with you?"I inquired, and he sighed. “I had a tiring day, I had to force myself here” he replied and I smirked “I can help you relax, you know,” I said seductively, my hands tracing his chest, but he gently pulled away from me “That’s not what I need right now, I want to…” I cut his words short with a kiss... He was so close to the edge of my lips that he could have easily slipped in and tasted me. I pressed my l
Athena's POV I sighed as I looked in the mirror at myself, twirling about to look at the sundress I was wearing, Alpha Daniel had requested we go on one of our dates today, and as much as excited as I am, I am also terrified. I took the invitation card Alpha Daniel had taken his time to set up for me and I chuckled, "A date amidst nature's splendor" I read the title of the card before opening it. "My dear Athena, I wish to invite you out on a date with me, I hope you won't reject my request, all love from your mate alpha Daniel" I read and chuckled quietly. I suddenly heard a knock on the door, I left the invitation card on my dressing table and walked to the door, where I saw Miriam with Evan. I smiled and took Evan from her, who simply wanted to pull the hair I had worked so hard to make. "Please look after Evan for me; I won't be in the pack house tonight," I informed Miriam, who nodded gently. "I hope you have a wonderful time," she whispered, and my lips twitched. "I
Athena’s POV I look around the breathtaking clearing. Towering redwood trees framed a magnificent vista, where the setting sun painted the sky with hues of orange, pink, and gold. I gasped, momentarily unable to find words to express my awe. “Do you like it?” he asked and I cried “I love it so much Alpha Daniel, this is so beautiful,” I said taking in the scene before me, He held my hand, and we move forward, settling on a comfortable blanket, alpha Daniel’s gaze was on me, he looked happy and filled with pride that I had loved that he took his time to do this for us. He stood up, and my eyes trailed his figure, he came back with a wicker basket filled with gourmet delights, surprising me with my favorite treats, I never knew he had paid attention to those little details. There was a candle lit on the blanket, and they were beautiful, the wind was busy blowing the fire, but it didn’t go off. We both took our plates, fetching enough food that we can eat. “I had thought about d
Andrew's POV It was a beautiful late afternoon, and the environment was filled with warmth and tranquility. As the day began to wane, the golden rays of the setting sun paint the sky in different colors. The light passes through the leaves of the trees, producing long, dappled shadows on the ground below. The air is motionless, with only a gentle wind passing through, providing a calm environment. The temperature has dropped slightly from earlier in the day, bringing some relief from the heat. The sunshine is gentle and diffused, lending an ethereal tint to everything. I sigh, looking at the birds chirping cheerfully, filling the air with their melodies. I love the peace I was getting just from walking through nature. I suddenly heard a clearing of a throat and I tilted my head to look at Beta Royce. "Alpha Andrew," he called, and I grinned. "I searched everywhere but couldn't find you," he added, and I nodded. "Yes, I was outside because I wanted to go for a walk. Is there anyth
Lucas’s POV The days have become so stretched and boring that I have night and day fantasies about having my hands on that crest, about what it looks like, and how wonderful it will be if I can finally take sole control of the pack. I rose from my bed and exhaled a sigh of relief before taking the antidote and walking out of the room. I've waited and analyzed the times when Mary and Alpha Gideon visit Evelyn. Mary sees her three times a day at the same time each day, and Alpha Gideon visits occasionally but not frequently, so I had ample time to go there, and I was startled, Mary hadn't discovered one of her several keys was missing. I had the impression that I was being watched. No one had seen me enter that room, and I wondered if I was that clever or perhaps alpha Gideon was up to his old tricks on me. But I didn't let it upset me because I wanted to make sure that before he caught on to what I was doing, I had my hands on the crest. So I strolled down the halls until I a
Daniel’s POV The night in the tent was filled with love, Athena and I gazed through the sky all night and the crescent moon shone brightly at us, we barely slept due to the cold, but it didn't matter, what we had at that moment was what mattered most, I wouldn't trade anything in the world for this, Athena is the best thing that has ever happened to me. The day was here again, and I was the first to wake up. I softly touched Athena, and she slowly opened her eyes, squinting slightly before groggily standing up from the floor. We emerged from the tent, and she took a look around. We went out of the garden hand in hand when her stomach suddenly rumbled, "Don't tell me, you are already hungry?" I questioned, and she chuckled, covering her face up. "This is so embarrassing, I can't believe it!" she exclaimed, and we both laughed. I had told several of the maids that we would clean up the garden after we left, so it wasn't a big deal. We got to a clear path where the limousine was
Lucas's POV My heart was filled with hate, and nothing seemed interesting anymore; I couldn't believe Evelyn for denying me the one thing I needed from her, so I fisted my hand violently, my slightly lengthened claws cutting into my palms and drawing blood. Maybe she deserved what happened to her because even in her sickbed, she was stubborn and unwilling to give up. Who knows, perhaps the crest isn't really needed to control the warriors, and what if the crest doesn't exist? She wouldn't subject herself to so much pain and torture if it didn't exist, right? I grumble, rubbing my hand around my head, as my thoughts are jumbled; I don't know what to do, and I can't seek advice from anybody; I can't even tell Andrea, who is busy messing around with alpha Gideon. I walked out of my room with the goal of walking about the pack and possibly calming my anxiety. I wandered around the halls and down the steps.I let out a sigh of relief as I stepped out of the pack house and took a deep b
