Devon's POVThe food was sweeter than usual and if she hadn't tasted it with me, I wouldn't have believed that she didn't slip something into it. Everything seemed to taste good and I just felt somehow happy about it.I decided to go out and check on her if she was training properly. I noticed that she was doing her training well but how she did it would tire her out too quickly. No wonder she was always so tired after training.I helped her by giving her some tips and I noticed how well she took them. Suddenly I felt dizzy as if my eyes went closed for a nanosecond. I opened it immediately.Are you okay?"I feel a little dizzy."Maybe you should go and rest.Seriously, seeing her gesture things to me always made me pissed. I sighed and turned to go. Being an Alpha meant having to look okay even when you weren't. So I had to force myself to walk steadily to my chamber. I knew I was being watched by her and I didn't mind.The moment I entered my chamber, I felt this pang in my head. It
Olivia's POVHe just said he was human. Did he know what that meant to me? It was a subtle reminder of what I had done. The evil I let my father compel me to do. Could I ever forgive myself? I noticed that his gaze was on me and I willed myself to be strong."I'm also hungry, do you think you can get me something to eat?" He asked.I was more than surprised by his new behavior. If I had known that the potion would make him act like this, I might have done it earlier. But the cost is too much and I feel guilty. Perhaps I should just drink the second one and write a note to him?Father said it will kill him off slowly, which meant I wouldn't die immediately. What if he caught me before I died and went through extra means to bring me back just to punish me?I nodded."Alright, hurry up, it's getting late." He said and relaxed back in his bed. I stood up and left his chamber.The person who had stopped me earlier was a servant. She dared to accuse me of doing something I wouldn't dare say
Olivia's POVBad enough that I had to spoon-feed Devon, he made me stay up all night, watching him sleep. It was torture for me since I was equally tired. Eventually, I fell asleep on the floor. I lay completely on the floor and I slept there till morning. I only managed to get about four hours of sleep and by morning, I was still very sleepy.I opened my eyes and raised my head slightly. He was still in bed. I thanked the goddess in my heart. At least he didn't leave so he wouldn't know if I slept or not."Finally awake?" He asked and I jolted up in fright. He did know that I slept off!I slowly got up from the floor. I bowed in greeting and he stared back at me."You slept on the floor." He stated. I nodded. I mean, I slept on the floor."Why?" He asked.I was tired and sleepy, I couldn't hold it in. He chuckled. "So you chose to sleep on my floor?"After asking, he threw his legs down from the bed and stood up. My eyes widened in surprise. He could move his body?"Yes, I am fine."
Devon's POVI watched the surprise on her face when I asked her to eat with me. She wasn't a bad person, she had a good personality and the only issue she had was her inability to speak.I had an important meeting today and I didn't want to miss it. She was also a very good chef."This is nice." I complimented. "The pasta is so tasty and I love the meatballs. It's exactly the way I like eating my meat."She smiled softly. She must have been so excited that I had complimented her cooking without her having to ask. She still wasn't comfortable eating with me. I had to hurry and finish my meal. I took only a glass of wine."You can have some if you want," I said. Olivia was so surprised and every time I permitted her to do something or spoke nicely to her, she would look surprised and then sad.I left the dining and allowed her freedom to eat. I watched her for a while and I saw that she became comfortable and ate properly. I suddenly returned and she paused in her movements."Don't forg
Candice's POVDid Alpha Devon just ask me if I was okay? And then ask if I worked here. And I detected softness in his voice.Of course, his aura is suppressing but the love I have for him is greater than that aura. He is so handsome, I can't help but fall harder. I danced into Susan's office to find her in the corner, looking pale as a white sheet."Suz, what's up?" I asked carefully. "Are you okay?""I... I'm fine." She whispered. "Has he left?""Who? Alpha Devon?"She nodded too quickly. I laughed softly. Was she afraid of him?"Are you afraid of him? What's there to be afraid of? He's just like you and I and everyone else." I praised.She glared at me. "You only say that because you're obsessed with him."I gasped aloud, touching my chest as if I was hurt. "Obsessed?""Mmhmm." She nodded."I am not obsessed, obsessed is such a strong word. You could say, I find him attractive.""What's the difference?" She asked. I giggled. Susan can be such a sweetheart. I can't believe she hid i
Olivia's POVI didn't know why he ate so hurriedly. Was the meeting so important that he had to rush his food? Somewhere I felt a little jealous about whoever he was going to meet. Regardless, I took my time in eating my meal.When I finished eating, I cleared the table, taking the used dishes to the kitchen. I had a large appetite so I ate the rest of the pasta and meatballs that remained. Since I didn't eat so much at my parent's place, I ate enough whenever I had the opportunity to.I noticed how Elsa avoided my gaze when I entered the kitchen to drop the plates. I also avoided her. I wouldn't want anything else to go wrong again today. Once I kept them properly, I turned to go."I wonder who you're leaving the dishes for." She murmured. "You're dumb not handicapped."I turned to be sure she was referring to me. I even pointed at myself to be sure."Are you so stupid that you can't comprehend when you're being referred to? You served the Alpha his meal and you drop the used dishes
Devon's POVComing back to find her training made me a little pleased. I thought about sharing my discussion with Susan with her. At least she had to know what she was up against. I wouldn't want her to become so afraid of me when I begin to increase her training.I called her to end her training and follow me. My initial plan was to discuss with her in my room. At least to avoid a third party from hearing about it.When she came, she asked me why I had returned so early and I just began to explain right there. I don't know what it was that I said but she got so carried away and when I spoke, she wasn't listening.I had to yell out her name before she regained her consciousness. What was she always thinking about? The most annoying thing there was that even if I asked, she could never be able to answer me.All she would do is make those gagging noises and complete the rest by waving her hands around. It made me go mad. Trying to understand her was a full course on it's own, it was mor
Devon's POV"Or did you lie to me?"I don't know why, but I found myself questioning whether she was lying to me. Despite her inability to speak, I felt like she was communicating with me in other ways. However, her nervousness when I mentioned visiting the hospital made me doubt her honesty. It was a confusing situation, as I was the one assuming her thoughts and feelings.Despite my doubts, I couldn't help but admire her grace in accepting or refusing my assumptions. It made me wonder if it was fair to accuse her of lying when she was simply communicating in her way. It was a complex situation that left me feeling conflicted and unsure of what to believe.She hadn't answered me yet. I wanted to keep asking but then I realized that the truth may never be fully clear in this situation. It was up to me to decide whether to trust my assumptions or to give the person the benefit of the doubt. What will I choose? That solely depends on how well she can convince me now still.She smiled we
Olivia's POVDawn took extremely too long to come and I guessed it was due to my over excitement for today. Noon did the same thing and when evening slowly approached, I was seated in front of the vanity mirror with Gabi, Susan and a couple other ladies beside me.Right now, I was surrounded by ladies I see in the pack, but do not know them and that I had barely associated with.It was all going to change when I finally become the Lady of the house. The Luna of the silvermoon pack. Fuss was made over my nails of what nail polish color would fit perfectly on it. I let them make the fuss cause I did not care much about it. I just wanted to be linked arm in arm with my groom and tell him ' I do'. They finally decided on a chic blue nail polish coupled with a glitter lacquer polish for design. It did turn out great and my toe nails were given a nude nail polish color after minutes of a nice pedicure. Same fuss was made over my hair of which style would fit the Lady of the house. I had
Devon's POVThe training lasted till midnight before Damian everyone to retire to their rooms for the battle ahead.The morning came more quickly than expected but the pack warriors did not look like they lacked sleep. For this has done this before.I addressed the pack concerning the battle with the tyrant, Rodrigo. A few warriors were assigned to guard the palace with all their strength.We were ready, dressed, swords in our hands and guns too for the battle that was about to take place.Just then sounds of hooves on the ground and approaching cars could be heard from a distance."It's now or never," Damian said to me. He was indeed ready.Hell let loose as bullets and arrows flew around. It came out so sudden. I almost pushed Damian out of the way as an arrow was fired towards him, he fell down to the ground as I went off to grab who had fired the arrow.Rodrigo's men were advancing towards us, a battalion of them. My warriors charged towards them. Heads were ripped off, hearts we
Devon's POVThe sudden appearance of the red moon was quite baffling. It arrival before it said date took us off guard. The pack guards went in search of the sage in the caves but as usual there was nothing. Perhaps, this was just a facade of the red moon? I pondered.I got back to the palace and Olivia was not in her room. I asked about her from Gabi and she told me Olivia was in the garden.I got there and saw her staring at a plant. "Hey, love. What are you looking at?" I asked her."Hi, um, it's this green plant, it shines but it won't let me uproot it," she replied."Let me see," I said as I drew nearer to the plant. It was the sage! "My, it's the sage," I said in excitement.She grinned. "Well, uproot it!" She said to me. I tried to uproot it but it wouldn't. This was just a plant and not a tree, yet it was hard to uproot. I tried severally but it would not come out of the ground. "How about we do it together?" She suggested. I agreed and when we did, the sage came off so easily
Devon's POVThe more she lied the more she infuriated me. "You don't know what I'm talking about?" I asked her again and she stared at me. "Fine," I added as I dialled Damian's number. "Bring the girl in," I said into the phone and then hung up.A few minutes later, Damian walked into the house with Trisha who was frightened. Candice could not hide the horror on her face."Will you claim not to know this woman?" I asked her."I don't know her," Candice replied with confidence."Stop lying!" Trisha yelled at her. "Look at what you've gotten me into. These guys came to the club and dragged me out like a loser. I warned you about this but you still indulged me into it by tempting me with what I love the most," Trisha said to Candice in anger."Liar! I don't know you!" Candice yelled at her."Trisha, repeat everything you told me about Candice in the car," I said to her.Trisha swallowed. "Candice and I are co-workers at the strip club," she began to say and Olivia was shocked. "She came
Candice's POVI returned back to the house and I saw Susan with a blanket wrapped her shoulder as she sipped a cup containing coffee I believe. "Why are you all wrapped up when it's barely chilling outside?" I asked her."I'm just thinking," she replied.I snickered as I sat down on the chair. "That's why you're all covered up," I said. "Well, how's Olivia?" I asked her.She shrugged. "Not so good. She's still inside," she replied."What must have happened? Why is she so shaken?" I asked."Well, Devon came by today. Turns out that the reason why Olivia is upset and quiet is because of him," she said with a sigh."Oh my, what happened?" I asked as I pretended as if I did not know what was going on."It turns out Olivia has a video of Devon cheating on her with some girl and some pictures too," she replied."What?" I exclaimed, pretending to be shocked. She nodded, buying all my pretentious act. Damn, I was a good actress!"It's so strange. Devon is so in love with Olivia. I can't belie
Devon's POVI got to Susan's place and she immediately opened the door. "Where is she?" I asked as I got in."She's in my room. She won't come out and I have been hearing crying sounds coming from there," she said as she led me to her room.We got to her room and there was Olivia laying face down on the bed in a red dress. "Olivia," I called her name and her body immediately stiffened before she turned around and got off from the bed. "What are you doing here?" She demanded with so much anger in her voice as she stared hard at me with puffy eyes."You're crying," I said going close to her."Don't you dare come close to me. Don't you dare!" She yelled out at me."Olivia, I'm sorry," I was burdened by her behavior as I apologized. I had no idea that the dinner date meant so much to her."Get out," she replied without looking at me."Olivia, I..." I began to say but she did not let me finish when she interrupted me."I said get out!" She yelled in anger."I'm sorry!" I yelled back, not
Damian's POVThe security personnel went through the CCTV footage but unfortunately, there was no sign of Devon leaving the hotel. He was only seen going into the men's room. I almost missed the next person that went in when I suddenly saw her and asked him to pause. "Zoom in," I said to him and he did. A woman was going into the men's room too. She had black hair, but her face could not be seen. "Hell, what is a woman going to do at the men's room," I pondered out aloud.The security personnel shrugged. "Is there no footage of the woman or Devon coming out of the men's room?" I asked him."No, sir. You can see from the footage that nothing like that happened and there doesn't seem to be any glitch anywhere in the system," he replied.I groaned inwardly. "Thank you very much," I said as I patted his shoulder."You're welcome," he replied as I walked out of the room. Where was Devon and who was that woman? I pondered deeply.I got back to the hotel hallway and spoke to the guards we ca
Olivia's POVI stumbled back in shock unable to believe my eyes. I held the chair to stable myself from falling.It was as if my eyes were deceiving me. I paused as the phone slipped down from my hand. Was this the launch Devon claimed to be at?Perhaps, images might be deceiving, but I had no idea what pushed me to leave the palace and get to the hotel.On getting there, another message came in, directing me to the room Devon was in. I walked up the stairs, used the elevators and I could feel my heart in my throat as I got out of the elevator.What would I see? I knew it would be something that I would not be able hold in. I got to the room and opened the door and lo and behold, before my very eyes, there was that same woman I saw yesterday humping over Devon.I closed my mouth in shock and pain as tears cascaded down my eyes. I left the door slightly ajar as I ran out of the hallway. I kept running till I was out of the hotel.I could not scream even when I possibly wanted to. My ha
Candice's POV"What?!" Trisha exclaimed, almost spitting her cappuccino in my face."Hush, calm down Trish," I said to her as I looked around the strip club, ensuring that no one was eavesdropping on us."What do you mean by calm down, Candice? That I should frame Devon up? Are you kidding me right now?" She literally yelled at me."You're not really framing him up, Trish," I replied."What do you call drugging a man in an hotel room, and taking pictures with him?" She demanded."Stop sounding like this is the first time you're doing such a thing," I frowned at her."And so? At least I know the kind of men I do such with. Not men like Devon and especially not Devon. Please, Candice!" She flared up.I slapped my forehead. "So, you're not going to do this?" I asked her."No amount of money will make me mess with someone like Devon. Count me out," she said as she stopped her cappuccino and turned away."Not even for half a million bucks?" I asked her and she paused and turned around."Ha
