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 POVHow he had stopped me from practicing made me feel like the training was over for the day. Then came the soft moments when it felt like we were already in love. The calm and nice Devon was more handsome than the devilish one. But after that, he came up with the hospital speech and told me that he was going to be so strict with me but I should not be upset.I had to accept the fact that the sweet moments I had enjoyed would not be repeated if I did not endure the hard moments. This has always been the promise I received when I was living with my parents. But in all eighteen years of my life, I have never seen the reward for the so much suffering I have seen and endured.Rather, it only made me more of a slave to everyone I came in contact with. This is why even in my mate's castle, I am regarded as a slave even by the maids. All because of how bad I was born and the fact that my mate rejected me openly. If I ever met the moon goddess, she would first tell me why she made m
Olivia's POV"Well done."The anger rose high and it felt like I was a glass of water that has been set on a hot flame and now I was boiling furiously. Yet, I managed to not show it on the outside, I controlled my emotions.The first problem I have always had was that I was too easily read. My parents could easily tell that I was hurt about what they had done to me and that was why they always did those things and even far worse things to me.Well, not anymore. Now I am going to be different, different from what everyone else will expect. So even if my father comes here severally to try and shower me with faux love, I won't allow him to know that I am affected.So now that he stood, complimenting me, I can already tell that his main reason for coming is just to find out if I have locked Devon's wolf yet. Well, I know what to do. I won't allow him to know I did it so easily, or else he might try to convince me to poison him.I will deny it still. Until then I am ready to accept it, I w
Beta Brent's POVI waited for a while. Olivia had not sent any message to me. It felt weird and at a point, I began to panic. I know how stupid my daughter can be. What if she went ahead and told Alpha Devon what she was asked to do? What if she failed and was caught?That wouldn't be my issue unless she went ahead to include me in the matter. If she dared to say I was the one who lured her into doing it then there would be a huge problem for me. Because even if Devon does not believe her, for the fact that he would want to war with me, he would use that as a reason.Alpha Rodrigo's gaze was focused on me. He was the reason I'm thinking this way now. He summoned me to ask me how well Olivia has done. I couldn't answer properly. Maybe I should just tell him the truth, what was the worst that could happen?"Alpha Rodrigo, she said she would call me back. She asked me not to come again so that I would not be spotted by anyone." I answered. It was the truth anyway.He didn't look too plea
22Beta Brent's POVI was caught off guard when I discovered that my daughter, Olivia, had betrayed me to Alpha Devon. As a beta, I knew the consequences of being exposed to an alpha. My worst fears were confirmed when Alpha Devon revealed that he knew my true identity and my allegiance to Alpha Rodrigo, his arch-enemy. The situation was dire. I had to escape before Alpha Devon could take any action against me. I knew that my life could be in danger, and I couldn't risk having him find out more about Alpha Rodrigo from me. I quickly began to take steps backward. I noticed the smirk on his face but I was too afraid to address that. As I made my way out of his castle, I couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal from my daughter. I had always tried to make her strong and independent, but she had always seen it as a punishment, and now it seemed that she had chosen a different path. Despite my feelings of betrayal and anger, I knew that I had to focus on my survival and that of our pa
Olivia's POVDevon summoned me to his chamber at night and I was wondering why he called me. I expected to see him after he had spoken to my father but he didn't come to me. I did not even know where he had gone. I was really tensed when I heard him send me inside. Of course I would obey, but it did not mean I wasn't concerned.When they finished speaking, I did not know too. I waited a while and then I did not hear anything so I walked out slowly to see if they were still there. I peeped and did not find them there. Not my father, not Devon.Sighing, I walked back inside. I hoped to not be seen by anyone since I was trying to avoid any issues. Once I got to my room, I paced around. I really couldn't rest. I was on edge. What if my father had somehow blabbed to Devon? What if he wanted to cause troubles for me? Why did I accept to do this too?While I was pacing in my room, I heard a soft knock on my door. I stopped to listen for a while just to be sure if I had really heard the knock
Devon's POVI had encouraged her to continue with her speech but in reality, I wasn't happy. Why did they always keep insulting her? Especially this Elsa girl. Always causing her to feel bad about herself."Now, about your father's visit." I said. I wanted to observe all of her reactions. She seemed afraid of something. Was her father threatening her with something? Was he bullying her? He would find out."How is your relationship with your father?" I asked.She stuttered for a long time. She easily gave up, gesturing with her hands. I, however, kept my gaze on her face and did not look down at her hands which she used to gesture to me. She could readily understand what I was doing and she sighed."Use your voice, Olivia. That way we can easily ensure that your voice would always be out." I advised.She took a deep breath and tried speaking again. "B... B... Ah... Ahd."I smiled. "Your relationship with your father is bad? How bad?"She glared softly at me. I know she felt like this w
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
