Chapter 79Dane's POV"I'll handle it," I heard myself say, and Miles turned to me in surprise. Even I was surprised at myself, but I couldn't just succumb to defeat like that. It would make me less of myself. It would make my subjects look down on me when they're supposed to respect me and treat me with high esteem. Miles was a loyal Beta and the shared paths has blossomed into a bond akin to brotherhood, but I still had my reservations in discussing personal stuff with him."How do you intend to do that, Alpha Dane? Need I tell you that we owe not less than fifteen billion naira? Please, how do you intend to pay that back? Over the years, we managed to settle some, but it's not gotten anywhere. We are still deep in shit!" He said as he flung his hands out in desperation. I just wanted to bang his head on the wall, but the two things saving him were that he was grieving and heavily drunk. "How I handle things around here shouldn't be your concern at the moment. You have your job
Chapter 81Angels POV A hard slap across my face woke me into reality and I opened my eyes which were stinging with tears to see the bald-headed man scowling at me. I gritted my teeth in anger, but I couldn't fight back because I knew that whatever punishment that followed this, would definitely be worse, and I actually can't deal with more abuses right now when I haven't healed from everything.“Stand up now.” He yelled, and I managed to get up, supporting my abdomen with my hand. It had been hurting terribly since the previous day and I really hoped that I wouldn't lose my pup after all of this because it'd really scar me for life and I don't think I would ever move past it.“The big boss is around, so you've to be of good behavior, or you'll have your head flying from your neck in seconds.” He yelled as his eyes glimmered with an unusual kind of wickedness I've ever seen in my entire life.I am not trying to brag, but this man was way worse than the devil. He uses every opportun
Shanna's POVI watched as Angel struggled with words. I really do not understand this woman. One minute, she was as bold as a lion and another minute, she was as scared as a cat. Her dual personality never ceased to amaze me, but the clock was ticking, I had no time to argue with her. I needed to take advantage of my time now that I still had the opportunity to count my teeth with my tongue.Whatever she was doing now was on purpose. She just wanted to frustrate me further, now that she knew I was the reason being her kidnap.Well, I knew it was a risky move, but I had run out of options and I really needed answers.“Answer me now.” I yelled that my veins protrude from my neck. I hated being kept in silence and her attitude right now was provoking and the only thing I had in mind now was to teach her a very terrible lesson.“It was my brother.” She answered, matching my energy as tears streamed down her eyes. I froze for a minute as I watched her, running my hands through my hair as
Angels POV I cannot believe I was going to die, I should have known that Shanna had no conscience or human sympathy.She's obviously going to continue her life after this, leaving Miles in so much pain. It's such a pity that I couldn't even see my mate before I leave this world forever, but I did something, so my death would be avenged.A message was sent through my wolf to Miles.Presently, she was connecting with Miles' wolf. It didn't matter what happened afterward but I wanted Miles to know that I was right and Shanna was wrong. She manipulated him to the extent that we lost our love and pup.“What do you have to say before you join your brother?” She asked, still pointing the gun to my head. This is all a ploy, to get me to say more words so she'd know my thoughts, but I won't give her that chance anymore, it wasn't worth it so, I remained mute. I had no words anyway. The only thing I could think of were the happy moments with my mate and the way I tortured myself for weeks an
Angel's POVMy limbs feel heavy and my mouth dry as I struggle to open my eyes. I blinked my eyes but the light from the windows made me shut them back. I could hear voices, unfamiliar voices and the air smelt different too.Where exactly is this place?Opening my eyes, the room flooded with shining lights, my gaze wandered around. The room was expansive, the walls white, and the smell of antiseptic hung in the air. Glancing down at my arm, the sight of the bandage struck me, and the realization dawned - I was lying in a hospital bed, an IV line attached to my body.I felt nothing, my mind was like a blank slate as I strained to piece together the memories that led to this moment. Closing my eyes brought no clarity, only the fuzziness of forgotten events.Then, I remember Shanna, and then the memories came flooding and I was whimpering in seconds as I remembered how the bullet penetrated into me. A sharp pain throbbed through my head, as if I had collided my head forcefully against a
Dane's POVI've never been so confused in my entire life. In a single day I've received not less than hundred calls and a million messages from the people I owe. The pack members have been patient enough with the numerous excuses, my current saving grace is my status as Alpha which is at risk of being lost if debts remain unpaid.A loud sigh escapes my mouth as I run my fingers through hair in frustration. There are options available, yet they are selfish and could potentially ruin the pack in the long run.If I decide to sell any property in my pack, it'd affect them and I'd be blamed for every mishap after then.My phone buzzed causing my heart to somersault in my chest for the millionth time. I knew who was calling but I couldn't describe how I felt when someone tried to reach me, I felt so insulted and embarrassed.My old number had been changed in an attempt to escape, yet my phone was still inundated with a million missed calls and text messages, heightening my apprehension.I
Tristan's POVI read through the letter the council of Elders had sent to me and tugged at my beards. This meeting was unavoidable and I didn't have the balls for it. First off, I had pending pack issues that I needed to settle and secondly, attending a meeting filled with pack elders was equal to sanction and this was something I didn't want for myself.Mika was still recuperating, in fact her father laid down strict warnings that I stayed away from her till she recovers fully and be able to make her own decisions. Respecting boundaries provided ample time to pursue personal interests without interference.Conspiracy theories flooded in my head regarding the elders' reasons for convening an impromptu meeting at such a time.I knew we had stuff to handle as a pack and tongues were already wagging because of the present state of the pack but I held pack meetings every now and then to assure them that I had measures put in place and in no distant time, everything would fall into place
Gianna's POVDane yelled at me, he raised his voice and even tried to hit me.What kind of man is he? Dane's anger issues were on another level, beyond understanding. The only reason I cared was due to the noticed distance and avoidance. In my mind, there was a thought of having caused offense, but he was too rigid, he didn't want to discuss anything with me.Overhearing the omegas, they discussed his lack of appetite, subsisting only on alcohol, which was detrimental to his health.It was obvious he had a lot on his mind, something was bothering him, but he refused to tell me. He didn't find me important to discuss important stuff with me, or maybe he felt I was too naive to know anything.Why wouldn't he think that way? Afterall, I am an ordinary lowlife, a voiceless rogue who had no plans for her future.Tears brimmed in my eyes as I plopped down on my bed. I felt really embarrassed and sad. I thought we had moved past the boundaries, I thought communication was no longer a barrie
