Selena's POV If only I knew that meeting with Alpha Noah wouldn't be of any use, I wouldn't have bothered sneaking out of the pack and walking all the way down to the clearing in the forest. It's natural to act skeptical sometimes but when the need arises, it's best to take quick actions before it causes more harm than good. Alpha Noah is nothing but a pain in the ass. Just when I thought the job would now be easier for me, he was acting ladylike and it irked me to the core. It wasn't as if he was a mere werewolf, for goodness sake, he was an Alpha male and he should act as one and not some chicken hearted omegas. Tugging my hair, I tossed my head to the side and then let out a low sigh of frustration. Since my return, I haven't taken my seat despite my aching foot. I was just too bothered to care about myself. The thought of the mating ceremony that took place a few hours ago was still fresh in my head and it was driving me insane. “I need to put an end to this.” I snapp
Anna's POVPulling myself up, I began to rub my eyes, yawning at the same time. I had just woken up from sleep yet I was tired, it was as if I had done a very hard chore while asleep. On remembering what had happened the previous night, my lips parted into a smile and so I had my head buried in my pillow. The feeling was so electrifying that I found my whole body responding to the excitement. Not going to lie, last night was one of the best nights ever. For the first time in a long while, I had a peaceful sleep after making love with Alpha Jasper. This was exactly the life I wanted, this was now I wanted to feel and be treated but I didn't visualize spending this kind of life with Alpha Jasper, he was the least of my choices. Unfortunately, fate wasn't on my side and also, there was this force that always pulled me towards him even when I tried to avoid him. Still reminiscing about our previous night, I fell back into the bed, wrapping my hands tightly around the pillow with a v
Selena's POV Ever since my discussion with Alpha Jasper, I haven't been at peace with myself. I had been racking my brain, trying to come up with a clue on how to maneuver through my current situation efficiently. At the moment, I was resting against the headboard with my eyes tightly shut. I initiated this, so I have to dance in tune with it. “Two days, that's just forty-eight hours… it's less than it is already.” I mused, rubbing my forehead in frustration. Even though I was frustrated with the turnout of events, I wasn't going to regret taking that step. Within the remaining few hours, I was going to come up with something to avert any form of punishment that would follow if I should flop. Pushing myself forward, I began to fiddle with my fingers as I thought hard of the next step to take. “Ugh! If only I could forget about Alpha Noah. The thought of him alone drives me crazy. How on earth would an Alpha be a weakling like him, it's sickening.” I scoffed. For a while n
Alpha Jasper's POV It wasn't as if I believed Selena's tale, I just wanted to see Anna's reaction to the news. Even without having to look at her reaction, I already knew that she was innocent and Selena was just trying to blackmail her. Right now, the only thing bothering me was the fact that Selena claimed she had evidence that would prove Anna's guilt. As much as I wanted to see the proof she had to offer, I also didn't want to believe Anna murdered my heir. Only the moon goddess knows what would happen, it definitely wouldn't be a nice tale to tell. Rubbing my fingers through my hair, I let out a low sigh, shaking off the feeling from my head. “My lord,” Elder Davis' voice cut into my thoughts and I immediately snapped my head in his direction. I sincerely had forgotten I was in the middle of a meeting. Still staring at him, I didn't utter a word; I just sat there, staring back at him as more than a dozen eyes belonging to the elders pierced through me. “What are we g
Alpha Jasper's POV Immediately, my eyes flickered open this morning; my mind went straight to Selena. Today was the D-Day I had slated out for her to bring forth the evidence. Smirking, I began to move about, preparing to meet with her at the courtroom where we were going to meet. Knowing fully well that Selena was up to no good, I had put a lot of things in place to ensure I was prepared on my end. “My lord, you've been standing for a long time now in one position, is anything the matter?” Anna asked, swinging her feet from the bed. I had no idea she was up until now. “Nothing.” “But… I have been watching you. You've been smiling like you…” she filtered off, combing through her hair as she darted her eyes around. Taking in a deep breath, I left my position and quickly covered the gap between us. With her hands in mine, I asked, “I have a surprise for you.” Rolling her eyes to the back of her head, she tilted her head to the side before saying, “You are always full of sur
Anna's POV In my sleep, I heard footsteps moving to and fro and that was why I shot my eyes open only to see Alpha Jasper moving about. For the next few minutes, I continued staring at him as I wondered what the issue was this time around. He always gives me a cause to worry about each day, adding to my frustration. When he mentioned that the surprise was going to be fun, I died and woke up several times. Fun in Alpha Jasper's dictionary was the direct opposite. His fun meant sorrow and I wondered who his victim was this time around. Still pondering on this, as I tried to wrap my head around the recent happenings, the door creaked open, and Maya walked in. “Thinking as usual, you need to join Socrates and the rest, poring over scrolls, don't you think that's a nice idea?” She teased, taking the spot directly beside me. “I didn't zone out or did I? I knew when you walked in.” I protested, staring back at her with a little smile on my lips. We laughed at our little jokes fo
Anna's POV What in heaven's name was happening here? After Alpha Noah's announcement, I zoned out completely as blood drained out of my body completely, leaving me static. Was this the surprise Alpha Jasper told me about? He would have told me in private and then we got it sorted out instead of bringing it to the public. Frustrated, I let out a sigh only to jerk forward when the sound of loud murmuring reached my eardrum. The murmuring continued and from the corner of my eyes, I could see the elders staring at me with an evil glint in their eyes. I wasn't surprised about this, they didn't like me in the first place. With this controversy now in place, it wouldn't be hard for them to displace me and then Selena would get what she desired. Immediately, my mind went to her; I snapped my head towards her direction only to see her smiling with her head bent. Now having my gaze on Alpha Noah, I closed the gap between us so that I was standing right in front of him. “What
Anna's POV Oh no, this is getting more tense than expected. “I can remember vividly that when I came around earlier, I informed you I was here to take my mate, why are you interrogating me like I’m one of your subjects.” Alpha Noah said he was already seething with anger. On my part, I, too, was seething with anger. If I had known that Alpha Noah was gullible, I would have avoided him at all cost and then this wouldn't be happening. Combing through my hair, I shifted on my seat, trying to steady my heavy breathing. “Yeah, you introduce yourself as Alpha Noah from Crestwolf pack, I'm fully aware of that. In fact, that's the reason why I'm engaging you in a conversation…” he mused. “Anyways, just so you know, the moment you stepped into my pack, you became one of my subjects because there can never be two alpha, just like there aren't two captains in a boat.” Hitting his palms together, he said, “Back to our conversation, were you the one who deflowered her?” “Yes. We have
