NINA’S POV
Mrs. Flagg who I had come to see had not been able to meet with me due to some emergencies she had, here and there, but it was fine with me. I could wait for a thousand days just to meet with her, and being here was more like a holiday for me.
A nice vacation, away from the annoying scenes that were playing out back at home was also needed, and that reminded me. I had not checked up on John ever since she left California, so I decided to put a call through to him.
The dial tone rang for a while and I was almost thinking he was going to answer the call until the call connected all of a sudden.
“Good evening, ma’am.” He greeted me respectfully.
“Yeah. How are the kids?” I asked, trying to know their state of condition.
“They are still held hostage, ma’am. You haven’t come over to check on them, since then. Are you perhaps wa
ALPHA WILL’S POVI looked towards the direction in which Titan went to get me a drink, and it didn’t seem like he would be back anytime soon, so I decided to head over to the place I heard giggles. Although, such an attitude could be seen as trespassing and was against the moral code, but the curiosity to know who could be there, overshadowed the strength of my morality.We are close friends. It shouldn’t seem too much like a trespass. I began to climb up the stairs, and walked down the hall from which I heard the sound of those giggles. Although, I didn’t hear it again, but I could still remember the part of the house it came from.As I got to the first room, I pushed the door open and walked in, then scanned around, but there was no one there. I walked out of the room, and then checked out the second room, but it was the same. I continued checking until the sixth room, and there wa
NADIA’S POVWhile on our way to Alpha Titan’s home, my mind couldn’t help but drift off to the moment when Anna and I met Will sitting in the living room. It was kind of unusual for him to be in the living room that early, without preparing to go to work.Although, he didn’t look at us, but I had a strange feeling about everything, this morning.“Hello? Earth to Nadia?” Anna voiced out loud, close to my ears.I shook my head which made it even more evident that I was lost in thoughts, long before now.“Don’t you think you have to share what’s on your mind?” She asked as she folded her arms, looking at me like she could so much tell that I had so much going on my mind.Then I adjusted myself on the car seat, and then cleared my throat.“Is it that obvious that something’s on my mind?” I ask
NADIA’S POVHorror filled me, and I took my face away to avoid the cold stare which Will was going to show to us.“I’m… I’m really sorry.” I heard him apologize, in a calm tone.I opened my eyes slowly and looked towards his direction, wondering if I heard right. He had this apologetic face on, and that only got me baffled that I had to look at Titan who didn’t seem surprised.Could he have pulled some strings way before Will came by? Oh, my goodness! If that was the case, then that’s really smart and remarkable.“I understand how suspicious things were, so it’s fine. You’re still my pal.” Alpha Titan said as he moved closer to Will and patted him on his shoulder.“Yeah. But then, why is Nadia here, anyways?” He asked, still curious about the fact that I was present here.Then Alpha T
NINA’S POVAs I walked in, the sick atmosphere hit me, and I squeezed my face in irritation. Recalling that Nadia was still here made me feel sick to my stomach. As I raised my head after dropping my bags, I noticed she was right at the dining room, staring at me, and then I huffed and rolled my eyes.It wasn’t a pleasure seeing her at all, and I just so much wanted to get rid of her soon and by all means. It’s so certain that if I get rid of her, I won’t have any more problems with Will. There would be no hope for him, so he would gradually lean on me, and then the love he once had for me could spark up.All I needed was a good strategy, and certainly, things will go as planned.I walked up to Nadia, giving her a sneering look as she kept her eyes fixed on me.“Well, stare at me for as long as you can. You never can tell what would happen in the future.” I uttered, with
NADIA’S POVSeeing as Nina was back, it was best to strike before she went out again. Judging from the past ways which Nina has worked, it was evident that she was the fast and smart type. Definitely, she was going to start planning something as she got home.So, it’s best for me to be faster and smarter, or I won’t know when all that I have planned would go down the drain, and she would again, win against me. As I woke the next morning, I immediately went to Will’s study as that must have been where he was, currently.If he was in his matrimonial bedroom, it would have been obvious. It’s either I hear him speaking out in anger to Nina, or he would barge out of the room. So, none of that happened for almost half an hour, last night.As I got to his study, I pushed open the door since it was slightly open, and I was met with his curious expression.&l
ALPHA WILL’S POVI couldn’t believe my ears. So, all this while, I was being played by Nina, and she had her way at each stage she planned. It was so unbelievable that she could outsmart me, myself. How could all these happen, and I had no suspicion about this?It was so embarrassing as the memory of the time when Nadia was brought out to the meeting hall and was being interrogated, but nothing worked in her favor- came to my mind. Nadia had pleaded for me to believe her; although, she had no proof, but then, I ought to have been lenient.So, I played Nina’s pawn, and made my lover suffer all for nothing, and alone, all by herself. Anger filled me up like when water fills up a bucket to the brim. I got so furious that if it were possible, fire was going to flare out of my head, showing how dangerously angry I was.I slammed my hand on the table as I rose to my feet with a frown on m
NINA’S POVWho would have ever thought that I would end up in a dungeon, in my life? Worse, a dungeon in a place where I have ruled as a Luna. Where I have been respected, and revered. Much worse, my mom was also with me in this dungeon.I could imagine my father shaking his head in disappointment at us. I didn’t listen to him when he pleaded for me to let go of the grudge I had on Nadia. But then, why did Nadia always have to pose as a threat to whatever I desire, or have?It wasn’t my fault that I tried several times to eliminate her. She had always made me uncomfortable, and I can’t keep on living in discomfort every single time.The dungeon was cold, and I stuck so close to the wall, wrapping my arms around my crouched knees. It was a bit dark, and spooky, making it certain that there could be spiders and some creepy crawlies. The thought that things that I h
NADIA’S POVIt had been two days since Will stayed in his study, thinking of the perfect punishment to give Nina. Although, he allowed me in whenever I wanted to check up on him, but he didn’t come to sleep in the room. He ate, drank and did everything in his study.He had said that it was until he thought of the perfect punishment that he would find himself worthy to sleep by my side, and do things with me. Although, I understood how bad he still felt when he found out that I was framed, and then he turned his back against me when the world did. It was more like he was beating himself up, and several times, I had told him I had forgiven him, and it was fine.Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to be with me.“Will, it’s time you stop beating yourself up on this. Her being in the dungeon is enough punishment for the atrocities she has caused.” I said to him as I looked
NADIA'S POV.I walked back to the restaurant, smiling and greeting anyone who made eye contact with me. My joy was over the top. I couldn't help but express my happiness.It was a burning cauldron inside of him.When I got back to the restaurant, Titan and Anna were still talking, and laughing. It felt like they'd known each other for some time.I walked into the restaurant, and made my way towards them."Jeez, Alpha Titan was just telling me a funny joke. If you hear it, you'll burst into laughter." Anna said, vibrating with laughter."Okay… what's it?" I asked."Now, listen well. A duck, and a frog…" he began, and I paid attention, but by the time he was done, I burst into a shrill laughter I had fueled myself instead of Titan's joke.Anna had definitely fallen for Tit
NADIA'S POV.The next day, I went to Anna's room, and saw her scrolling through her phone, while she lay on the bed, with her back turned upwards."Hey." I called, with a smile, closing her door, and going to join her on the bed."Hey hey." She replied cheerfully, turning over, so her back was on the bed."What are you so engrossed in?" I asked, snatching her phone, and saw she was staring at the photo of a handsome young man."Woah. He's cool." I said, and she chuckled."Are married women allowed to say that?" She asked, and I laughed."What's wrong with appreciating beauty? You were doing the same thing, too." I shot back, passing her phone back to her, and she grinned."You know… there's actually someone who's as handsome as this. Maybe more." She said, biting the nail on her thumb.
NADIA’S POVThat night, I felt so good and relieved while I was on the bed with Will. To think that in the last few hours, I felt so depressed, and heartbroken. I didn’t know how I could live with the fact that Nina was going to die, and I wouldn’t see or hear of her anymore.No, it was best for her to be given the chance to atone for her sins, at least. And as her family member, I was the only one who could plead for her or make her freedom from death, happen. Will walked out of the bathroom, and cleaned his hair with his towel.“I hope you’re now satisfied, Nadia?” He asked, with a charming smile.I loved the atmosphere around. It was a light, and happy one. At least, our enemy was gone now, and we had given her a judgement that wouldn’t burden anyone. The only thing I hoped for was that she would learn her lessons, and turn a new leaf.
NADIA’S POV“Nadia, you need to stop brooding about this. It’s been two days now, and you aren’t eating as you ought to. All because of your half-sister who wouldn’t bat an eye if you were the one in that shoe?” Anna complained as she sat before me in the living room.She was right. Nina wouldn’t bat an eye if I were the one whose punishment was death. In fact, she would be happy that I was going to be killed, and therefore be out of this world, and her way of getting who she wanted, which was Will.But then, I wasn’t her. This is me, and I can’t bring myself to accept Will’s judgement. In fact, it was seeming more like Will had done something to ensure my calls wouldn’t get to him. Even Tristan wasn’t answering my calls, and it was certain it was on Will’s order, so I can’t blame him.I couldn’t even get angry
ALPHA WILL’S POVAs soon as we got to Los Angeles, I checked my wristwatch, and noticed I still had time, and I could even get to the hotel before the client I’m meant to see, arrives.I wasn’t meant to come out for anything regarding business because I had a lot going on which I had to settle, but this was really important.It was about a contract which we had once signed, but there was something that needed to be changed in some of the terms and conditions, and my presence and signature was needed before it could be processed.Well, it was also a good distraction to take my mind off the fact that I had ordered the guards to behead Nina. That was the most suitable punishment for her. In fact, if there was any other punishment worse than death, I would give it to her.She had made me feel a bit less of an Alpha because of the way she managed to play me, and made
