Chapter seventeen: Guilt Dane's POVThe healer arrived an hour later looking a little bit pale, sincerely I cared less about her I only wanted Gianna to be fine and nothing else.Whatever happened to her in the closet is none of my business. She is the cause of all this mess in this first place. If she had stayed by her side, none of this would have happened."I'm so sorry Alpha, I had a running stomach, it just started suddenly, I think I was poisoned" She complained. She was a shivering mess and was afraid to meet my eyes.Poisoned?How, I mean this pack house was heavily guarded with guards and so for something like that to happen without the knowledge of the guards, it must definitely be an inside attack.I raked my head for a possible explanation to the healer's predicament but none was forthcoming until it finally clicked, Shanna. Shanna poisoned the healer so she could have access to Gianna, all for what exactly?I mean, she has everything that Gianna would ever want. If it wa
Chapter Eighteen: Rogue over Alpha Melissa's POV If anyone had told me I would choose a rogue over an Alpha I would have cussed the living day out of that person, but I guess love happens in the weirdest and most unconventional way.I sincerely didn't wish for it to happen, I mean I was so happy and in love with Dane. He treated me like a queen and always made sure my needs were sorted out before I even asked, but there was something missing between us and I couldn't just place my hands on it no matter how hard I tried.Meeting Osbert was a complete coincidence. I stumbled on the rogue pack during one of my fruitless wanderings with Shanna and we were almost killed. Out of the blues, the rogue leader appeared and I discovered we had a connection and I knew he felt it too with the way he couldn't stop staring at me.He let us go after a few questions and especially when he discovered we were royals from the supreme wolf pack, but he didn't just leave my head and I found myself blus
Chapter nineteen: Endless woesMika's POVI thought getting rid of Gianna would be the end to my woes, but who was I kidding? Tristan was still hopelessly in love with the bitch.All my life, Gianna had always had everything I wanted. A perfect family and a perfect relationship. Her parents adored her and treated her like a precious gem that shouldn't be tampered with, while my mother on the other hand loathed my existence.She wanted a male child and got a girl instead, so she transferred all aggression and frustration on me. The constant love of my father kept me going but still I wanted Gianna's perfect life. I craved the kind of family time and bond she had with her parents, something I knew I could never get.I was still trying to get used to her being the Alpha female, her perfect family, beauty and style and then Tristan came along.Tristan met us the same day, at the same time, yet he chose her over me. I mean why am I so unlucky in everything.Everything I've ever wanted goe
Chapter twenty: Blood and Bruises Melissa's POV "Harder!" I scream as Osbert pounds into me with reckless abandon, we were just eating and watching a movie, things took a different thing in seconds and in a twinkle of an eye, we were stark naked pleasuring each other like nothing else mattered in the world except us."Ah... Yes baby, that's it" I say, pushing him closer to the edge, and he pulls out before he could empty his seeds in me.There we go again."Making love to you gets better every time" Osbert says, chest heaving up and down as he draws me closer and kisses me fondly on the lips.But, this was not what I wanted, I wanted to have Osbert pups, that was certainly not too much to ask. I mean we've been in a relationship for many months now and it's ideal we start talking about starting a family."What's wrong baby, you don't look happy" He says and I smile, Osbert always notices the slightest change in my demeanor, even when I don't sometimes and he ensures he does everyth
Chapter twenty one: Pain and guilt. Dane's POVIt's been three days, Three days of watching the woman I caused pain fight for her life. It was almost as if Dayna was incompetent and I had plans of firing her after several failed attempts of reviving Gianna.She was barely breathing and it was one bad news to another, I did not want her to die and I certainly did not want to be the reason for her death. It will threaten my reign as Alpha and I did not want any bad name for myself.Worse still, my conscience kept pricking me and my wolf sought out ways to punish me at any given opportunity. I was so tired, nothing made sense to me anymore and everything seemed to be falling apart."My lord, I beg to take my leave now, I... ""Save me the explanation Dayna and get the fuck out, you keep coming here everyday administering drugs and herbs of all kinds, still no improvement, if I didn't know better I'd have said you're incompetent" I yell in rage and she takes two steps back in fear."My
Chapter twenty two: Unbroken ties.Melissa's POVThis is all a joke.This is just some sick joke, this is just the moon goddess playing tricks and mind games on me. I do not understand, how am I going to handle this amidst all the pressure.I've been sick for a while and I mistook it for a high fever due to the regular beating from Osbert. Imagine my shock when I found out I was three months gone.That means I was already pregnant before I left my pack and no the child isn't Osbert, the idiot has made it clear that he didn't want children, so tagging the unborn child as his was a no go area but on the other hand, I can't return back to the pack with a baby.I mean I rejected Dane and I cease to be the Luna of that pack and Dane would certainly not take it lightly with me, what do I do?Why didn't I realize I was playing a risky game all along?Maybe, Just maybe I stand a chance with Dane. He has always wanted to be a father, maybe this child was my own shot of reconciling with Dane, w
Chapter twenty three: She's awake! Dane's POVI felt relieved because amidst all the turmoil in my heart I was still able to finish a great amount of work. The issues in the pack kept piling up and it was almost as if everyone on my council was incompetent.I got to my room and plopped on the sofa. I winced in pain as I massaged my head, I felt a headache surfacing so I quickly popped two pills in my mouth to relieve me of the ache. My eyes moved towards Gianna and my heart thumped, her presence always made me feel somehow, in ways I couldn't just explain.My legs were moving in their own accord towards her direction, I sat on the bed as I admired her perfect features. From her well sculpted face, well arched brows, high cheekbones and the lips. My God, her lips were plump and I bet they tasted delicious just the way they looked.I found myself running my hands on her face, her skin felt so soft and silky and I wondered how it would feel with our bodies pressed against each other,
Chapter twenty four: The invitation Tristan's POVNothing makes sense at this point and it's tiring. I thought taking the position of the Alpha was the best thing for me, but in actual sense, it was the beginning of my problems.I sat at my desk surrounded by stacks of paper, my brows furrowed in concentration as I reviewed the documents in front of me. My eyes flit from one page to another taking in details with keen interest.I feel torn in two directions. On one hand, I know what I have to do, it's my responsibility as Alpha to protect my people but I couldn't help but feel like a puppet being controlled by the old Beta and his cunning daughter because they offered me the Alpha's position for nothing, oh no for my sanity.On the other hand, I can't help but feel the weights of my decision pressing down on me, I was so stupid not to realize when Gianna slipped from my hold just like that.I make one stupid mistake and everything goes wrong and I didn't know it would have a profo
