Millicent's POV I heaved a sigh of relief as soon as I heard the door shut behind him and his footsteps descend the stairs.As much as I was furious that Alpha Sylvester had lied to me and was using me, I still could not stop thinking about what he had said about my parents or someone killing his parents. Was he using that as justification for his evil deeds? My parents if they were the people he was referring to could not have killed anyone without cause and definitely not a fellow Alpha and his Luna. My father was a kind man and not a murderer. So it could not possibly be my father Sylvester was referring to. With that, I wiped that off my mind and focused on how I was going to teach Sylvester to deceive me.I was still contemplating, when there was some noise outside. It was not my business, so I decided to continue to indulge in my thoughts. But the noise became much and I felt a nudge to go out and find out what the ruckus was all about.I stepped out of my room and found that t
Christopher's POVAs I walked into the reception hall, I was happy to see my pack - our pack so happy. I had decided to come home to Moon Ville Pack for a while. A smell permeated my nostrils. It was very intoxicating. I looked around but could not identify where or who the smell was coming from. I smiled at the people who were happy to see me. I was happy to see them through but that smell, of fresh lemon and grapes was drawing me, drawing my eyes towards the stairs.All of a sudden, my eyes fell to her... every other person ceased to exist that instant.Oh my God! I thought, I have never seen anything like it before - the feeling that flooded through me and neither had I seen anyone like her. She was not too tall but not short either, with a slim figure but with the right curves, her breasts were full and I longed to put them into my mouth. My mouth watered and I licked my lips.'Mate!' My wolf whispered.I had to agree with Zara, my wolf. I wanted to mate this goddess. Yes, that w
Sylvester's POV'She is my mate!' Christopher hissed at me, as soon as we were behind closed doors. 'How could you introduce her as your mate?'I had known that such was the case when I saw the way he was looking at Millicent at the reception hall. And the bitch had also been staring at him as though she were on heat. This was someone who was going to be my Luna. Shameless!'Why are you angry?' my wolf asked. 'You don't really want her, do you?''Oh shut up!' I screamed at him. 'Not now!''Christopher, how can she be your mate when she is mine?' I asked in a gentle voice, trying to reason with him. Even she can attest to it, that as she came into her wolf on her eighteenth birthday, that fact was revealed to her.' Christopher was welcome to her but only after I had used her to secure my position.'Is it possible then that we are both mated to the same person?' Christopher asked, bemused.'I have not known such a thing to happen but it might be possible', I conceded.'We should find ou
Third Person POV. 'Elders in council, I do not understand what you are trying to say. The girl in question is my fated mate. How can Sylvester introduce her as his mate? Or did you mean chosen mate?' Christopher asked, looking at his brother.'She is my fated mate as well', Sylvester said. 'I had to go bring her back from exile because her absence at the pack was causing a lot of sickness and death. The seer said, she is my fated mate and should rule alongside me, that's the only way to avert the misfortune'.Christopher looked at the elders with incredulity.'What your brother said is the truth', the chief said. 'But you are also right when you said she is your fated mate because I saw the bond between you two even before you shook hands at your reception the other day', he paused. 'The only possible explanation is that the moon goddess has decided to mate both of you to the same person'.'Is it possible?' Christopher asked, still not believing. He did not think he could share his m
Millicent's POVI was walking the grounds one day, appreciating nature and trying to forget the thoughts that were haunting me when I heard a voice behind me.'Hello, beauty'.The sound of the voice sent shivers down my spine. Not apprehensive shivers but sensual shivers. The voice was a rich baritone. I swung round, though I already knew who the voice belonged to. Only one person could get me to react that way, Christopher! The male who has refused to leave my head and had engrained himself in my thoughts.'Oh, it's you', I said, flustered. I could not afford to keep reacting like a bitch on heat to him. He was the same as his twin brother. I had to be careful. 'My name is Millicent, not Beauty!' I snapped because I didn't want him to know the effect he was having on me.'I know, Millicent', he said smiling charmingly. His smile caused butterflies to flutter in my stomach. It is a cliche but it was true, that was exactly how I felt. 'but I meant it as a compliment. You are beautiful.
Christopher's POVI came out to get some air because I was feeling claustrophobic. I could not stop thinking about her but she seemed to avoiding me and I could not understand why. Had Sylvester said anything to her? Or was it that she did not want to acknowledge our bond? Because I could have sworn she felt that pull at our first meeting.That smell again, so intoxicating, she could only be the one, the object of my desire and restlessness. I saw her walking around the grounds looking round as though she was one with the elements. My wolf, Zara, reared his and I quickly followed her.'Hello, beauty'. She swung round, and said, a breathless singsong voice, 'Oh, it's you'. Then she seemed to remember what I have called her. 'My name is Millicent, not Beauty!' she snapped and I found the way she snapped at me rather attractive, almost like a wife snapping lovingly at her husband.'I know, Millicent', I said smiling. I had been told that my smile was very charming and I hoped she woul
Sylvester's POVI could not understand what was happening to me. Since Christopher came home, I have started feeling funny towards Millicent. I no longer feel so angry towards her. It is true that I have wanted her for a long time now but that was just lust. Right now, it was no longer a case of just lust, it seemed that I had started liking her. But I will have none of that. Anyone is welcomed to her as long as I can use her for my own ends.'Why are you restless then?' Ezra asked. 'Christopher will win her and you will lose!'I was not in the mood to argue with Ezra, so I just paced my room, thinking about the dilemma facing me when a movement down my window drew my attention. I went to the window to check it out and found Christopher with Millicent. They seemed to be discussing. Then Christopher tipped her face up. I felt funny. Apart from that time during my engagement party to Cathania, when Daniel had been dancing with Millicent, I have never felt this funny feeling. I hated the
'What are you doing here Cathania?' I asked, not sure how long she had been there or how much she had overheard.'Is that really necessary?' she asked, her eyes narrowed at me, her lips pressed tightly together.'I did not ask you to come up. What if Millicent had seen you?' I asked exasperated.'I waited for you like you asked but you wouldn't come to see me and it was getting late, and I was becoming impatient, you couldn't even sent someone with a message for me. I thought it was odd and came through the secret passageway you showed me to see you but you were not in your room', she said, her chest heaving. 'I heard raised voices and thought I'd investigate, only to hear what I never thought I'd hear you say. You mean you have been deceiving me all this while?You actually love Millicent and have been lying to me? she asked and I could see the pain in her eyes.'You misunderstand me, Cathania. It is not what you think!' I said, trying to placate her.'What else have you been keeping
