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
Alpha Jasper's POV To think that I didn't have an idea of what was going on was driving me nuts. It was as if I had become numb all of a sudden and the feeling was making me insane. Pursing my lips, I stopped walking abruptly, making Beta Jacob who was trailing after me to bump into me. “I'm sorry.” He apologized but I didn't act as if I had heard him. Staring at Maya's door, I wanted to return and force Anna to tell me everything that she knew but the reception she had given me was discouraging. There was absolutely no way I could show my face in front of her anymore until I have rectified this issue. “My lord, is anything the matter?” Beta Jacob asked, bringing back to consciousness. At first I wanted to ignore him but on a second thought, I swirled in his direction and then placed my hand on his shoulder. Pulling him to myself, I said, “I asked you to excuse Selena and I yesterday, was there anyone around the courtroom when you stepped out?” “Yes my lord.” He replied
Alpha Jasper's POV The tension in the room was palpable. It was as if the next minute, the walls would begin to crack and then it would finally cave in on us. While Selena was trying to get her words, I tightened the grip on her neck, trying to force out the words I wanted to hear from her mouth. She continued darting her eyes around, maybe in bid to seek help from her parents who always stood up for her but their time around, I wasn't going to let that happen. The more I extend the grace I have given her, the more stupid she acts and if time is not taken, she might end up doing something that will ruin me completely. Still in my stronghold, I leaned in, tightening my grip the more and just when she was about to pass out, I threw her across the wall. It was only the vase which had crashed because of the hit that responded to the throw. No one said a word as we all stood there, staring at the other. When she finally recovered from the push, she pulled herself up and then be
Selena's POV Blinking my eyes rapidly, I tried to confirm if I was dreaming or not but my mother's blood which had soaked my entire clothing since I was directly behind her was the rude awakening that I needed. “Mo…” I tried to speak but my words came out as a whisper. Falling to the ground with my heart in my mouth, I began to move backwards until my back was resting against the wall. Seeing my mother's corpse lying just a few feet away from me shook me so greatly that I felt like committing suicide the next minute. Her head which was apart from her body was another gory sight to behold. Though her face looked calm even in death, I was shaken by it all. “No… this is not true. Alpha Jasper didn't kill my mom.” I muttered, pulling my legs up to my chin as I darted my eyes around. For the next few minutes,I continued murmuring the same words, trying to wrap my head around what had happened but the more I tried, the more frightened I became. “There is a misunderstanding here.
Anna's POV Even though I had chased Alpha Jasper from Maya's room, I was expecting to come around very soon to make things easier for me but to my disappointment, the whole day, he didn't return to her chambers. Enraged, I began to pace around the room. I had long given up crying since my tears weren't going to solve anything. Even without being told, I knew that Selena was somewhere celebrating her win while I was here, bemoaning my fate. It was a hard pill for me to swallow but since my hands were tied I had no choice but to stay back. Moreover, Alpha Jasper caused this. If I had to blame someone even, he should be the one and not Selena. She was merely fulfilling his wishes by pleasuring him and then both of them will make fun of me. Pursing my lips, I dug my hands into my hair and then turned towards Maya's direction. She was still staring at me, just like she had been doing since I started pacing about. From the look on her face I knew she was tired and frustration had
Alpha Jasper's POV After leaving Beta Raymond's home, I returned to the pack house with a deep scowl etched on my face. Seeing my facial expression, the maids and guards who were loitering around maintained composure with the head bent to the ground. Now in the courtroom with Beta Jacob, I asked for a glass of wine and when he returned with it, I relieved him. Just when I wanted to take a sip from it, I halted. “Sip.” I said, pushing the glass into his hand. At once he received it from me and then kept on taking sips until I was satisfied with the quantity he had consumed. Since nothing happened to him, I relieved him from the glass and then down the remaining content and for the minutes that followed, I continued sipping from my glass of wine, trying to forget all that had happened but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Killing Mabel didn't even move me a bit. Though she took the fall for Selena, I still wasn't satisfied. Selena was my target and she was the one I wanted to
