Mila and Felicia walked into the streets with some of Felicia's guards behind them. Mila was stunned as Felicia was like the belle of the town. Everyone seemed to adore her and wanted to talk to her. She couldn't believe the same Felicia that was threatening the peace of her life was the same person people would adore so much. Felicia in turn, acted the part. She played the part so well one who didn't know her would refer to her as a saint. She looked so pure and innocent in the way she carried herself around the pack. She wore quite a generous smile as she walked around the pack. She smiled at everyone who looked her way and bowed to the elderly. Mila wondered if this was her real personality or if she was just faking it just to gain all the love she could get."You know, you can stop acting all pure and innocent now," Mila confronted her, irritated."Does it bother you?" Felicia asked, googly-eyed."Why would it bother me? I just don't like it when people lie about their personaliti
Mila felt her mouth open wide in shock as she stared at Morticia. Part of her wanted to scream and defend herself but another part of her told her that Morticia knew more than meets the eyes."I didn't," she whispered."How sure are you?" Morticia whispered back. "I'm sure I wouldn't hurt anyone," she mumbled.Morticia smiled and taped her shoulders. "Follow me," Morticia tilted her head in a direction.Mila nodded and they headed for a black door."Mind if I borrow your friend for a moment?" Morticia asked Felicia, who was relaxing on the couch. "Just don't take time. We have a lot of sightseeing, you see," she said and nodded without opening her eyes.Morticia chuckled and opened the door. The room wasn't as spacious as the one Felicia was in. It looked more serious. Like where all the magic and business happens. Morticia pointed out a chair for Mila on which she sat uncomfortably on. She sat opposite Mila in a black swivel chair which rotated with each turn. "We need to have a
Felicia grabbed Mila's hand and gave Morticia a sweet smile. "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but it's getting late and we would like to return to the palace now," Felicia said and smiled."Sorry for keeping you here for quite some time. Hope you understand?" Morticia asked."I do. It's your job after all," Felicia replied, although something wasn't cheerful in her voice. "We can catch up some other time yeah," Morticia asked.Felicia nodded and dragged Mila out of there.Once they were out the door, Felicia sighed and walked on. "The palace isn't far from here," Felicia said Mila didn't understand what was wrong but treaded on behind. She didn't want to engage in any form of conversation with Felicia as she was already in a sour mood. After her discussion with Morticia, she realized her life was more complicated than she had imagined it would be. She felt a jolt of confusion in her. She didn't know what to do anymore. Who could she trust and who couldn't she? Once they entered the
Max and Felicia lay on the bed, exhausted and out of breath. Felicia stared at the ceiling with a sly smile plastered across her face. She smirked as sceneries played in her head and she snickered contentedly. Max, on the other hand, felt guilt banging in his chest as he thought of what they both had just done. He felt like it was wrong for him to allow himself to be seduced by Felicia, as she was madly in love with Adrian. One part of him knew he wasn't in the wrong as Adrian hadn't shown any interest in Felicia. He slowly turned his head to see Felicia smiling and staring at the ceiling. He breathed a sigh of relief as he realized she didn't regret it. Maybe she was over Adrian. Because if she had come to him just to relieve her of the pain of not being acknowledged by the one she loved, that would have made him feel like crap."What are you thinking about?" Felicia turned around to ask, his naked body pressing against him.Max stiffened his body as he felt her warm body against hi
Adrian's POV "Don't you ever say that to me," Mila said."Come on," I said and walked over to her. I placed my hand on her shoulder slightly. She turned around sharply and pointed her fingers at me.It was considered disrespectful for someone to point out their finger to an Alpha. But I didn't care about being disrespected by Mila. She could do what she wanted and I wouldn't complain."Don't you ever say you're sorry when it's involving a lady," she warned sternly."What do you mean?" I asked "Oh really? You don't know what I mean?" she laughed "I don't," I argued."Your high libido is the problem," she started. "If you don't have so many mistresses to warm your bed, maybe all these wouldn't be happening. Maybe she wouldn't have the guts to come into this room in the first place," she continued."I have nothing to do with her," I tried to defend myself, even though I knew it wouldn't help one bit."I don't care. She must already know you have a weakness for women that's why she thi
Mila's POV After I snapped at Adrian, I went into the closet to change. When I walked into the dark bedroom, I could hardly see a thing but someone how I felt someone was inside aside from Adrian. Although I didn't see the face of the lady, something about her voice seemed familiar, but I couldn't place my fingers on it. When she called me his bed warmer, something snapped inside me, but I knew I wasn't in the position to argue with her as I hadn't gotten that right over him yet. When she finally left, I turned around to continue drying my hair. I felt Adrian's hand rest on my shoulder. I felt all the anger I was holding burst open. I don't know how I got the courage, but I spilled my anger on him. I've had enough of his attitude. As I walked into the closet, I felt a numbness in my heart for a second, and the next, I felt a strangling pain that was choking me. I let out a shrill yell as I blacked out.I must have lost consciousness for a few hours because when I woke up, Adrian was
Amanda stormed into Aunt Matilda's room with a frown on her face. She couldn't sleep last night and as soon as it was dawn, she strode into the room. Aunt Matilda was already up and a maid was making her hair. She turned slowly around to face Amanda. "Good morning Aunt Matilda," Amanda said."Good morning my dear. Although your face doesn't look like someone that had a good night's rest," she commented "That's because I didn't," Amanda replied Aunt Matilda held up her hands and gestured for the maid to leave the room."Why? What is the problem?" she asked.Amanda waited for the maid to exit the room before slumping on the couch."It's Adrian," Amanda began."What about him?" she queried "The plan didn't work," Amanda spoke."What happened?" she frowned."His interest seemed to have been piqued by a lady," Amanda stated.Aunt Matilda frowned. "What do you mean?" she asked."When I went to his room to do as you told me, she came out of the bathroom," Amanda recalled Matilda laughe
Adrian sat on his throne contemplating what to do next. He had been sitting there for the past five hours with Max."What do you mean there was another attack yesterday?" he asked, confused at this point. "Yes. One of the palace guards had gone into the forest and his body was found this morning," Max said gloomily."What the hell is happening?" he snapped "It's as confusing as it could be," Max added Adrian groaned. He couldn't believe he had doubted Mila when she said she hadn't killed anyone. Mila had been with him yesterday and he had watched her transform and held her with the spell. She had been with him throughout the night. Then who could this be? There was no clue leading to who the real culprit might be. He knew he owed Mila an apology for not believing her. She isn't the culprit. She had been trying to make him see reasons why she couldn't be the culprit but he decided to doubt her honesty. Now wasn't the time to regret not believing her. Now was the time to find a solut
Mila and Adrian stood in place as Felicia and Amanda matched to the center of the throne room. They seemed to be shocked as neither of them found their voice to utter a word. Mila couldn't understand why Felicia would want to sabotage her. She knew anything Felicia wanted to say would be something that would put her in trouble at this point"What are you both doing here?" Adrian finally spoke."Well, you invited almost everyone, Your Majesty. And I thought I should come and make this announcement. And thank God Mila is here to witness it. After all, she is the subject of this topic," Felicia declared. "What do you have to say?" Adrian asked, squinting his eyes at both of them. "Well..." Felicia stared and turned to face everyone. "I just found out the strangest thing," she said.She paused for a while and observed the crowd. Their interest seemed to be piqued at this point. "Well, this here is a lady from another pack," she dragged the quiet Amanda in front of her.Mila studied the
Felicia walked up to Amanda's room and knocked. After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing the beautiful redhead."Good morning," Amanda said, staring blankly at Felicia."Good morning to you too," Felicia retorted and made her way inside, even though Amanda didn't want her to come in. "And you are?" Amanda asked, following Felicia, who had made her way to the couch and sat down."My name is Felicia," she replied "Ok..." Amanda replied, staring at her in confusion as she didn't know her and she just barged into her room."Sorry for barging into your room. I didn't want someone to see me. I can't risk it, not with what I have planned," she explained."Which is?" Amanda replied slowly. She seemed to sense Felicia was someone who was going to be useful to her mission in this pack. "Well, let me start from the beginning. You are from wildfire pack right?" she asked.Amanda frowned. She hasn't told anyone she was from the wildfire pack. She had made sure to keep it a secret. Only A
Mila's POV "Why do I have to go with you?" I asked, trying to get an explanation from Adrian. He had woken me up extra early and made me dress up. He wanted me to follow him to the throne room. Why would I do that? If he was having a meeting that early, why did he have to drag me with him?"You are not supposed to ask questions," he ordered."But I can't blindly follow you to the throne room. Isn't it prohibited?" I asked, feeling nauseous at the thought of me being in there with him."I have something to announce and you have to be present," he explained."What do you want to announce and why do I need to be there," I demanded adamantly.He stopped for a moment and stared at me with an amused expression. It looked like he wanted to say something, but instead, he chucked and continued walking. I sucked in a haggard breath as we reached the big door. Adrian turned to give me one last glance. "Once we're inside, make sure to be close to where I can reach for you. There would be an e
Max's full concentration was on the files placed on his table. It was almost midnight, and Felicia was already sleepy. He shook his head as he stared at her. She had been so enthusiastic about finding out more about Mila. But now, here she was sprawled on the bed, sleeping soundly without a care in the world. He flipped from page to page but found nothing interesting about her other than her background and why she wasn't in her pack anymore. According to the file, her father was killed unjustly, and her mate was taken from her by another woman. Her life seemed to be a pitiful one, but here she was, living so carefree. There wasn't a moment since she came to the palace that she was seen wallowing in sadness. Max smiled at her strength. He couldn't help but admire her. Although she looked weak, she was strong emotionally. He had been studying her file for hours but hadn't seen anything suspicious in it. Maybe there was more to her? Or Felicia was just paranoid as she didn't like Mila
Mila's POV I felt a hot slap land on my cheeks and my eyes widened in surprise. Did this lady just slap me? "What did you just do?" I asked, confused as to what I had done to make her slap me."That's for your foul mouth," she said, anger oozing out of her body. Before I could utter another word, she started pushing me toward the entrance door. I shrugged my body out of her hold and snapped "Leave me alone, I can go out myself," I said in anger. "Better do," she scoffed and folded her hands together.I opened the door and stepped out into the choked hallway. I could feel it was late already and it was going to be midnight in a few hours. Adrian is supposed to be on his way back to the palace by now. I walked into the garden and sat there in silence. The tears that I had been holding since she slapped me began spilling from my eyes. They made their way out, feeling as if they had been trapped in my eyes for a thousand years. I could feel them, hot and wet. I looked around in the
Amanda's POVAmanda stormed into her room in anger. Why did she have to see Mila here, of all places? She should have just vanished into thin air or gone somewhere far away. How was she supposed to achieve her aim in this pack when Mila was now the muse of Adrian? How would she get close to Adrian and get the information she needs? She needed to act fast so she couldn't be won over by Mila. She needed to get rid of Mila. And to get rid of Mila, she wouldn't go straight up to harm her, she has to make sure she does it slow and steady. She has to think of a way that Mila wouldn't suspect. A way that no one would suspect. Even if it means eliminating her, she wouldn't mind. Amanda sat down on the couch in her room and smirked slightly.*Mila's POVI stared at myself in the mirror while arranging my hair. I had left the office as it was time for Adrian to go to his scheduled meeting. I just finished taking a shower and trying to prepare for bed when I heard a slight knock at the door.
Amanda walked into Adrian's office, her face passive yet seductive. Adrian had his eyes closed as he was feeling stressed and he had another meeting in the next thirty minutes. He felt his door open but didn't bother opening his eyes."Your majesty," Amanda whispered Adrian finally opened his eyes. He stared at Amanda with tired eyes. He didn't want anyone disturbing his peace."Hello, Amanda. Do you need something?" he asked, his eyes briefly staring at the tray she held. It was obvious she brought his meal for him."I brought you lunch. You didn't come down for breakfast and lunch. I thought you might be hungry so I quickly made this for you," she explained."You didn't have to do it," he said, sighing."But I already did," she said, placing the tray in front of him.Adrian took one look at the food and smiled softly. "You can take it away. I appreciate your effort, but I don't think I want to eat," he said.Amanda frowned. "I had this made myself,'' she said "Well, that's why I
Max walked briskly toward his room. Felicia was sitting down calmly on the couch. She stood up abruptly when she sighed Max. "Did you find anything?" she asked. Max dropped the file on the table and sighed."We can't do this here. Let's go to my place," he announced."Why? But she's here and it'll be easier since Adrian gave you this room anytime you want to stay in the palace," Felicia pouted. "I know. But I think Mila must have seen her name in one of the files as I dropped it," he explained."You dropped the file?" Felicia's eyes widened in shock."She bumped into me and it dropped on the floor. She wanted to help me pick it up when her eyes must have glanced briefly at it," he said."She might have not seen it. Maybe you're paranoid," she reasoned.Max shook his head in nagation."I don't think so. The way she looked at me confused, I think she might have seen it," he answered. Felicia seemed to think for a while before sighing "I guess we don't have a choice then. We should
Mila's POV I quickly averted my gaze and closed my eyes. I felt him chuckle before his lips touched my forehead."Good morning," he said.I closed my eyes tightly and didn't respond. What would I say? Sorry for checking you out."You're asleep?" he asked I didn't respond. I felt him leave the bed but stopped midway. Where was he? I felt both his hands run down my thighs and excitement crept in. Before I could brace myself for what was coming, his tongue slid up and down my clitoris. I moaned lightly as he bit it a little."What are you doing?" I managed to speak. "Really? Now you can speak?" he asked, inserting one finger into me.I gasped as he thrust in and out slowly. "Ad... Adr...Adrian," I moaned, while my hand made its way to grab his hair."You like it?" he asked, still fingering me "Yeah," I inched toward him.He laughed lightly got up from the bed and walked toward the bathroom."What are you doing?" I called out, panic rising. "I'm going to freshen up," he said and sco
