Alpha Jasper's POV Sitting at the head of the dining table, I kept looking at the door, hoping Anna would walk through it the next minute but it seems that wasn't going to happen. It has been more than half an hour since I asked the maid to go fetch her but still yet, she was nowhere to be found. At this point, I couldn't help but to wonder what the problem was since it was unlike her. Or was she still asleep? — the question rang in my head as I brought my glass to my lips to take a sip of the wine it held. Exhaling, I dug my hand into my hair and the next minute gestured to a maid who immediately walked up to me with her head bowed. “My lord.” She called. “I need my Luna.” “She is on her way, my lord. Her personal maid told me she just woke up when I went to meet with her…” I didn't allow her to finish speaking before I waved her off and then began to drum my fingers against the table, still staring at the door which was slightly opened. Just when I was about to push
Alpha Jasper's POV Just like Anna, I was surprised that Selena reared her head in the courtroom even after I had asked her to stay away. I already knew she was going to return someday so it wasn't that too much of a surprise to me. It was her guts that was throwing me off balance. This time around, I grabbed my glass and then gulped down the whole content before refilling it. “Let's go.” I said and at once Beta Jacob turned around. Just when I was about to pull myself up, Anna held my arm and at once I turned in her direction. She was wearing a look of uncertainty mixed with fear. I didn't know where all these were coming from but I bet it was because of her initial confession of being afraid of Selena. In as much as Selena was concerned, she was the least of my worries. She was my childhood friend but when she allowed her greed and desire to cover her senses, I decided to treat her as a subject. That was exactly how I was going to act when I joined her in the courtroom. Le
When Lilian informed me that Alpha Jasper wanted to have dinner with me that morning, I decided to use it as an opportunity to solicit for Maya's freedom. Fortunately, everything happened as planned but just when I wanted to start bonding with him, Beta Jacob brought the news of Selena's presence and Alpha Jasper left the table. The reason why I had tried to stop him earlier was because I was scared Selena was going to cook up another lie about me and then another bout of drama was going to ensue between us. Now sitting on the table, I began to eat my food, this time with a great appetite, that was after I had pushed Selena's presence behind me. She wasn't important and so I shouldn't invest myself in thinking about her. Breakfast ended on a good note and so I decided to await Alpha Jasper just in case he had anything to say to me before I retire to my chambers. For more than an hour, I remained at the table, staring into space as I awaited Alpha Jasper but it seemed like he
Holding my chest as I panted, trying to steady my heavy breathing, I made my way towards him but before I got to where he was, he was already by my side, holding my shoulder trying to support me. “My lady, are you alright?” Beta Jacob asked, staring intently at me. I was relieved because since Beta Jacob was here, Alpha Jasper would be around the corner. Several minutes went by, yet Alpha Jasper didn't come around so I had no choice but to straighten up, staring at Beta Jacob who had a worried look on his face. “Where is Alpha Jasper?” I asked. “I haven't seen him since I left the courtroom.” He replied. “After I admitted him into the courtroom, he asked me to excuse him saying he wanted to have a private session with Selena and since then, I haven't laid my eyes on him.” “What?” I gasped, holding my chest as I tried to steady my heavy breathing. “Is anything the problem?” He asked, leaning close but I was quick to stop him. “Nothing, I'm fine.” I replied and then began to
Alpha Jasper's POV “Argh!” I groaned, grabbing my head with both hands as if my life depended on it. Of course my life depended on it because right now, the banging pain was threatening to split my head into minute pieces. Still struggling to sit up, I began to blame myself for drinking too much the previous day and at the same time started to wonder what had happened. It was hard trying to remember the activities of the previous day. It was as if my memory had been wiped off and the only thing that remained were fragments which I couldn't even join to solve the puzzle. After several attempts, I finally snapped my eyes open and when I did, I began to look around the room, trying to get a hint of what had happened the previous night. Still in my subconscious state, I stretched my hand to the other side of the bed, hoping to touch Anna but it was cold and empty. At once I snapped out to my conscious state and began to dart my eyes around, as several scenarios played out in my
Alpha Jasper's POV For a while I was taken aback with the scene that was playing out right in front of me. Right from the beginning, I had this strong conviction that something was wrong somewhere and with this drama right in front of me, it was confirmed. Staring blankly at Anna, I tried to get answers from her expression but the look she was giving me was as if the next second, she was going to stab me to death. “Can you tell me what the hell is going on instead of pushing me away?” I asked, covering the distance between us only for her to push her hands right in front of me. Taking her hands off the way, I bypassed her but before I could sit beside her, she pushed me so hard that I staggered backwards barely missing hitting my head against the cabinet that was nearby. From the look of things, this was more serious than I had thought. Pressing my lips into a thin line, I brought my hand to my hair only to turn to Maya's direction who immediately buried her head. “Anna,
Anna's POV When Alpha Jasper walked into the room earlier, there was this surge of anger that overwhelmed me and dried up my tears instantly. At this point, I was wishing I had the chance, the chance to snap his head from his neck just like he does to his subjects that defaulted. His guts was something I was still trying to wrap my head around even when he was caught red handed. Fine, I get the fact that he was the Alpha of Moonlight Pack but that doesn't mean he would make others feel less than themselves. If I was the one in his place, the more I kept denying, the angrier he became and then my punishment would become more hefty. It was annoying that I got to meet someone like him. Meet? No It was annoying and frustrating that because of money, my father sold me to a monster like him who doesn't care about the feelings of others. All he cared about was himself and he would stop at nothing to make that clear to anyone that comes across him. Now staring at the path he
Selena's POV Smiling like a maniac, I was staring at myself in the mirror with my hands resting on my waist. For more than half an hour, I have been doing this, yet I wasn't satisfied. It was as if I couldn't have enough of the joy that was raving through me. This was my first attempt that left me so happy and fulfilled. Still staring at myself, I placed my hands across my chest, imagining the pack members all bowing to me as their Luna. The sight made me tilt my head to the side and the next minute I was laughing until my chest began to hurt. Blinking rapidly, it was hard to keep still but I still managed to. “Cheers to Luna Selena. I really can't wait for my mating ceremony.” I shrieked, hitting my palm together in glee. Thanks to my meticulous thinking and plotting, I was unable to come up with the perfect plan that would push Anna out of the way and make me the next Luna of the Moonlight Pack. For a while now, I have been underestimating my abilities, otherwise I would
