'You have come to gloat, haven't you?' Cathania said as soon as she saw us approaching her cell. 'Well, you do not need to. State what your punishment is and I'll gladly serve It. I'll have you know that I am not afraid of you nor your punishment!''Keep quiet Cathania', Alpha Sylvester ordered. 'You need to apologise to her for trying to kill her and for speaking to her this way'.I shall do no such thing!' Cathania shrieked. 'It shall be over my dead body to apologise to a maid even if her status has been glorified', she looked condescendingly at me and then, looked with disgust at Sylvester. 'Sylvester', she called, 'you do not cease to marvel me. You are still going round with her, patrolling her as your future Luna when you know she wants another! Ha, ha ha!' she laughed like someone who was insane. ' State your punishment already, mighty Luna and be done with it because I need you out of my sight!''Cathania!' Sylvester thundered.And I touched him lightly on the arm, shaking my
'You are just too good. How can you forgive an offense of such magnitude?' Christopher asked as I followed him away from the detention zone. Cathania had been escorted out of the premises, after Alpha Christopher had ordered that she never step her feet in the pack again!'We err and it is only right that we forgive those who have wronged us that those we wrong might forgive us as well!' I said.'I like your maxim', he said. 'Very inspiring '.'Not at all. Christopher, there's something I've been meaning to ask you', I said.'Ask away'!' he said, playfully. 'I believe you know the answer to the question if it concerns my feelings for you'.I hit him playfully. 'Oh, be serious, Christopher. What I want to know is how your parents died'.Christopher looked at me oddly.'I really want to know and please don't spare me. I need to know', I said. 'I have heard a few things. I want to know for sure!'Christopher looked at me for a long time and I was begining to think that I might not get an
Christopher's POVI felt bad as soon as Millicent ran off. Maybe I had not handled the matter the way I ought. I love her very much and whenever she is close, the beast in me wants to be released and I can barely keep him in. But I also love my brother. Sylvester and I may not see eye to eye sometimes, but he is s still my brother and Millicent hurt me when she acted like she hated both of us, especially Sylvester for murdering her parents and destroying her pack.Don't get me wrong. I feel bad that such a thing happened to her parents and I wish that I could do more to ease her pain. But I hated it when I felt that she had anger in her heart and possible hatred for Sylvester and me. How can love thrive in such an environment? Or did I overreact? Did I misread the signals? Was what she felt for Sylvester a love - hate? Sylvester himself had professed to love her, he who hated her previously. Was it the case with her as well?Why do I feel restless? Will Sylvester end up claiming Milli
Millicent's POVI ran off after listening to what Christopher said, his words echoing in my heart. 'You were going to become Sylvester's Luna, had I not come. You spoke just now with so much vehemence. Were you going to marry him with hatred in your heart?'How could he think I was so manipulative and mercenary that I'd feign to care for him when I didn't? Okay, maybe I was pretending with Sylvester but not with him. Never with him! Where was the love he professed to have for me? He had as much as said that I got close to him to avenge my parents on them both. It would not have been this painful if it had been true when it concerned Christopher. Did he know how I battled with myself not to feel anything for him but lost to the pull of our mate bond?I ran with no clear destination in mind but my feet led me to the one place I found peace. I felt a great pain in my heart at Christopher's lack of faith in me, that the tears kept pouring down.I sat in a fetal position on the grass, hold
'What's your problem, Sylvester?' I asked in angry frustration. 'Why do you like coming at the wrong times?''Christopher, I have a mind to fight you here and now!' he said. 'Why are you trespassing on my territory?''Your territory? Trespassing?' I asked, still very angry, my wolf furious at the interruption. 'How is she your territory? And how am I trespassing if I am with my mate?'''Christopher, don't get me started!' he said as furious as I was. This mate issue was lingering too much for my liking. It has to be resolved so that we all know our stand especially those who don't already know theirs. As for me, my fate was with Millicent to whom I am mated.'Sylvester, I should be the one telling you that. Do not get me started! How often does this have to go on? You keep interrupting my private time with my mate and you ask me not get you started?'Millicent came and stood between us. 'I am mated to the both of you and I can choose to be with either of you or the both of you. Your
Millicent's POV I got to the mansion and climbed the stairs to my room. Now that I was not in Christopher's embrace, I was feeling very fatigued. I recalled the discussion we had earlier about my parents death and I felt the rage rise in me again. I was sorry that my mates' parents had to be murdered brutally like Christopher had described but I was angry at the same time that my parents had been made the scape goat because I knew my father was not a traitor or a betrayer of trust.Something was nagging at the back of my mind but was proving elusive. I recalled that Christopher had spoken of sending his men to investigate the case. Now that he and I were getting close, maybe I should ask him to find out about my pack and what has become of it. Alpha Sylvester had not been interested in making it his but had left it in a state of ruin. Was it still in ruins or has others inhabited it?Unbidden, the scene replayed before me. The death scene that has refused to leave my mind. Then when
'Answer me, damn it!' Alpha Sylvester swore when I refused to respond to his question. 'What does my brother have that I don't? We both look alike, so if it is good looks I have it as well as he. If it's the title and position of Alpha, we both have it. Infact, you knew me as Alpha before him for goodness sake!' he said furiously.'You are not compassionate', I said gently. Christopher will not force himself on me the way you wanted to just now!''He wouldn't, would he?' he asked angrily. 'Why would he when you give in to him willingly and I have to ... what? Grovel? Beg? You want me to beg you for it? Is that it? Then you should have said so from the start. Dear mate Millicent, could you open your sweet cunt for my cock to grease? Please, mate, I promise you, it will be paradise'. he said mockingly. 'I had to try this rough way to make you realise I am male as well and can give you what Christopher can and perhaps even better if you give me half the chance you give him.'Was that ho
Sylvester's POV After arguing with Christopher over Millicent, I started for the mansion. I was seething. How long was this going to go on? Why does Christopher insists on the taking my mate from me? Sigh! Okay, so she is also his mate but hadn't we agreed to wait till it was all resolved? Why was he being so impatient? I wanted to have Millicent as well, I have a great uncontrollable urge to ravish her. I've had it for some time now, but I've been keeping my beast in check, why couldn't he? I wouldn't want him making me do what I might regret. If I had not controlled myself, we would have been engaged in a physical duel right now!I got to the mansion and had intended going to my room but as I passed by Millicent's room, the anger and jealousy - I have come to realise what that hated feeling was: jealousy - filled me again and I just wanted to let it out, hurt her because she was hurting me continually by being with Christopher when she could be with me!'What are you doing, Millic
