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
Millicent's POVI left Christopher standing there after that devastating kiss we shared. I had wanted to go up to my quarters but I needed time alone to clear my head, so I went for a walk to my favourite place. My best place in the world when I was still serving as a maid in this pack. The stream. This time I was not going for a dip in the water but to watch the water and get some semblance of peace. Who knows, I might understand what I was feeling.As I sat down near the stream, throwing stones into the water and watching it make ripples, I had to admit that like the stones were making ripples in the stream, Christopher was causing ripples in my heart and body. But it cannot be encouraged. He was my enemy.'But how is that so?' Milly asked. 'You reject Sylvester and now that you have a chance with Christopher, you are refusing to grab the chance as well. What do you want?'It was clear that Milly was getting exasperated with me. I wondered if she had no choice at all. She at first w
I climbed the stairs deep in thought, on my way to my room. I heard voices screaming at each other. It was not uncommon but there was something about one of the voice that drew me towards the door.Then I heard, Sylvester's voice. What was he doing in Christopher's room in his absence? What kind of question is that? I asked myself. He is the Alpha and Christopher is his brother! He can go into any room he chooses especially his own brother's room.But what he said as I got to the door stopped me cold.'Like I said earlier, I do not feel as angry towards her like I did in the past. I am also sorry for deceiving her into helping me preserve my throne. But that's that. What I feel might just be gratitude or just likeness. It is not something you should be bothered about!' Sylvester said and I knew instantly who he was referring to. What other female was going to help him secure his throne?'Thank you so much', Cathania said and placed her arms round Sylvester's neck, kissing him. And he
Millicent's POV After the incident where I saw Sylvester making out with Cathania in Christopher's room, I tried as much as possible to avoid all of them I ate in my room and rarely showed my face.Of course Sylvester did not like it and tried to make me join them at the dinning table but I always had one excuse or the other handy.Christopher himself came to speak to me and talk me out of isolating myself from the rest of the pack but I wouldn't heed his words. 'I just need some time to myself', was what I told him. I was not ready to tell him yet that I was angry with him for the part he played in encouraging Sylvester to cheat on me with Cathania.I found another pleasurable way to fill my evenings, which was walking to the stream to feel it's cool breeze and peace.I was at the stream on day, lost in the serenity of nature. The wind blowing and the cool breeze from the stream making it calming on the skin like a soothing balm. Oh Peace! If only that were how my life was, but I
Christopher's POVMillicent has been avoiding me since our last encounter. Was it because of the kiss we shared or was it because of its effect on her? I know that she must have felt that unbelievable pull like I did. I raised my hands and wiped my face with my palm in frustration. Even now, as I thought about her, I could feel my beast rising. I wanted her desperately. It felt like my life deepened on mating with her. I have never felt anything like it.I have noticed that she goes off to somewhere most evenings and I got my Beta, James to find out where. He reported his findings to me and I felt she needed her privacy. I usually go to the same place in the past whenever I wanted to be alone.But I couldn't refrain from following her this time because I felt an overpowering need to be with her. I had missed her so damn much!I got to the stream, and was not disappointed as I met her sitting in the sand, her eyes closed as she took in the serenity of her environment.'This place is so
Millicent's POV I could not sleep that night. Anytime I shut my eyes, I saw Christopher's face. I could not get the kiss out of my mind either.I had had to take a bath when I got to my room after leaving Christopher by the stream. The cool bath had done nothing to cool my heated body as my senses continued to run riot on me. I wanted to go to him, so that we could continue what we had started, what he had interrupted. I should be grateful to him for stopping when he did. And I was but I felt disappointed as well.Early the next morning, before anyone was up, I was out and running. The exercise was good for me and I could feel the tension in my body easing.After the exertion and my mind seemed to be clearer, I was about to return to my room when I heard footsteps behind me. Someone was also running. It would seem that I was not the only one who could not sleep or the person was running for sport - to keep fit. The two Alphas did it, Alphas Sylvester and Christopher. I knew now that
