Janet’s POV
“Let me go! Let me go, you bastard!” I yelled in annoyance as he pushed me into his master chamber and closed the door behind him.
“What do you have to say about what I have seen and how you have fooled me all these years, Steven?” I gritted my teeth in questioning.
“I haven’t even thanked you for what you did for me, babe. I know everything is going on too fast but—” He began but I shunned him.
“You really take me for a fool, don’t you?” I scoffed, bitterly laughing at myself.
“Do you really think I love Pamela? I don’t love her, you are the one I love, Janet, and I will make you my one and only Luna.” He screamed at the top of his voice.
“Stop lying!” I hissed.
“Pamela’s father was the first to target my throne and if I don’t marry her, he will covet my throne. I’m doing this to protect ‘us’, Janet.” He said dolefully and for a while, I was intoxicated by his believable lies.
“You mean…” I trailed off.
“I’m getting married to her because of business, she will never be my Luna,” he made a comeback, looking serious.
“Steven..!” I shed another set of hot tears again, falling into his arms.
“I thought I lost you, Steven. I’m hurt!” I mumbled in his arms as he patted my back.
“I was also worried about you, babe. I didn’t want this but I’m still weak. You are the one I love.” His voice was the same, so sweet and captivating.
How could I survive without him?
He pulled me away, looking into my eyes.
“Take some wine, I will have the physician treat you with immediate effect.” He passed the goblet to me which I drank hastily because I was thirsty.
“You have to understand and believe me this period, Janet.” He took the cup from me with a smile.
“So, are we also going to get married? I can accept having her in the harem since it’s for your benefit.” I said but started feeling unwell suddenly.
“Get married? To you?” He smirked, laughing scornfully.
My throat was burning - I couldn’t breathe and it was as if my stomach was shrinking too.
“Argh! Steven….” I cried out in pain as I collapsed on the floor.
“Steven…” I kept calling to him, with my hand in the air while clustering my stomach, and just then, Pamela showed up behind him.
“You are really a sweet talker, sweetheart. I can’t believe you talked her into believing you and drinking the acid.” Pamela smiles mischievously, placing her manicured fingers on his chest.
“She is an obstacle and I don’t mind getting rid of it for you, honey.” Steven planted a kiss on her lips. They wouldn’t stop kissing and embracing each other tightly.
“What? You…” I could no longer breathe properly and I was already seeing my life hanging on a thin thread.
“Is this what I deserve?” I managed to speak forcefully as tears rolled from my eyes again.
I abandoned status and my family for him, I loved him for years and did everything for him, and in the end, I was only a footstone to achieving his main purpose.
“Why didn’t I believe my parents?” Tears of regret gushed out as I felt bad for my parents.
They were truly right but I was clouded by lust. He used me and didn’t dump me alive, he dumped me like garbage waiting to be trashed.
“This death serves as a curse, I will return and make their life more than a living hell — even death will be far from their dwelling,” I spoke while choking, my eyes were slowly closing and I couldn’t hold on anymore.
“Just die!” Pamela kicked me with her legs and I stumbled to another corner, giving up the ghost.
My whole body ached as I groaned, opening my eyes. My first vision was blurred.
“Janet! Janet!” The loud voice of my mother filtered into the room as she barged in.
“Mother?” I called her out in surprise.
My eyes wandered in the room and back at myself. I noticed my hair had grown longer and I looked younger.
I remembered burning the duvet on me.
“Why are you still sleeping? Have you forgotten your duty?” My mother asked, still having her cold and serious attitude.
“Duty? Am I not dead?” I couldn’t help but ask aloud.
“You will be dead if the members find out that as the Omega leader, you are not yet in the welcome ground.” My mother lashed out.
“What’s going on?” I asked anxiously.
“Wake up, everyone is waiting for you. We have to welcome the Alpha’s son.” My mother said as she walked out of my room.
“The Alpha’s son?” I muttered, quickly taking up the mirror.
“I… I’m young.” I gasped, taking a close look at myself until my eyes dropped to the calendar beside my table.
“2021? What? I’m in 2021, not 2024?” It sounded crazy and unbelievable.
I died!
I saw myself being poisoned by Steven and my so-called best friend, Pamela.
Why was I still alive and why was I here?
“Did… did I travel back in time?” I pondered.
“Yes. You were given a second chance, Janet.” That calm familiar voice came up again.
“You…” I trailed off.
“Yes, it’s me. Your unnamed wolf and I’m still with you.” It said.
“So, after what Steven and Pamela did to me, I was given a second chance?” I smirked, feeling annoyed and excited at the same time.
“This is interesting but I’m never going to fall again, I can’t wait to see their faces on that day. I will never be a fool for so-called love again.” I gnashed my teeth while clenching my fist.
“It’s time to go!” I jerked from the bed, feeling enigmatic and motivated.
“Where are we going?” It asked.
“We are going to welcome our dear nemesis,” I said curtly with a mischievous grin.
It was my turn to give them the taste of their medicine.
Janet’s POV“What took you so long? We were all waiting for you.” One of the Omega said, looking worried.“I guess I came late, I saw him leaving and he hasn't changed,” I said absentmindedly.“What did you say?” She looked confused.“No, not you. Since we missed him, let’s prepare for the welcome banquet.” I said with a forced smile.“Welcome banquet? How did you know about that?” She asked with suspicion lingering in her eyes.“I… I think our Alpha mentioned it.” I lied, rattling out.“He didn’t.” She shook her head.“Well, he just did. Let’s go prepare.” I scurried away from her before she bantered me with questions.I had to be careful of the way I predicted things.The Omegas were the lowest-ranking servants in the pack and we were the ones in charge of organizing the field for Steven’s welcome banquet.I returned to the venue to take a final look at it before the event time, the canopies were in the right place including the chairs, tables, and food sets.Just then, someone tick
Janet’s Point of View The sun ray flashed in my direction which somehow disrupted my sleep. I sighed and tossed to the other side of the bed, letting my hand run freely but then, I noticed the bed was empty. I quickly opened my eyes and checked myself, and exhaled in relief when I noticed that my clothes were intact. “What happened last night?” I couldn't tell how I got here or what happened after my wild engagement with Berrent. “You are awake.” Just then, a masculine voice came up and I shivered. “Who…” I turned and trailed off at the sight of the angelic figure, partly dressed in just his suit trouser and bare chested - exposing his sharp attractive biceps that got me intoxicated for a while. “What's going on here? Why am I here?” I questioned him nervously as I gathered the duvet around my chest. “You got drunk yesterday and couldn't tell me where you came from, so I brought you to my room.” He said steadily. “My apologies.” I lowered my head in shame. “I will tak
Janet's POVI was left alone in his house. I know I was not meant to touch anything, but I was wondering why the things in his room were the way they were. I got up and walked around. I have not been to Ice Lake Park before. This was my first time here and it is going to be me staying here for a long time till I get what I want. "Who are you?" I heard someone say.I quickly turned and saw a lady, she must be his maid. I know a man like that will have lots of maids at his service. " I was brought here last night. Care to give me some food?" I asked. She looked at me like I was a thief who had entered the house. " You should leave," she fired at me. I saw the hate in her eyes, all for someone she barely knew. She should be careful around me if she wants to remain working here. I got out of the room and walked around. Little did I know that it was such a big house. Why did he have such a big house? He was powerful, rich, and well-represented. Why was he still after the oil yard?
Janet's POVHe walked to where Sara was standing. I saw the smile on her face but acted like I was blind to it. I saw the way she was happy about his presence, how was I foolish enough not to have seen this? I was way too blind and that cost me so much. " This is my friend; I know you have seen her before," she said. Of course, he had seen me before, the way he had looked at me yesterday, I knew it was something. " I have; you look good, by the way; what's the name?" He asked. How arrogant. " It's Janet," I said. He does not deserve to know what family I came from, he should figure that out himself. He smiled at me as he took my hands; I felt the softness of his hands; I was going to turn them into rocks by the time I was done with him. " And you look so beautiful," he added. I smiled, how funny. " Of course, she is, and she is without a mate as well." Sara rushed and said that part of my life. Wasn't it too early to show how badly she wanted to use me?" I am as well; I mean
Janet's POV I looked at my mother like she had no idea what words she just released. " I don't understand." " You will finally be mated, this should be something that calls for joy" She was all smiles and it worried me.It worried me that she had nothing against this. " I can't do this" I said and got into my room. I lay on the bed and tried to force myself to sleep, I wanted to stop hearing the sounds of his laughter. I wanted all of that far away from my ears, but It was not possible. The door opened, and it was my mother, with a broad smile on her face. " You should come see him, your father said so," she said. I got up, even though it was not the initial plan, I never wanted to obey, because I knew this part would come. I followed her and after seeing the man, I got angry. What was this about? Did they think my life was a joke or something? " You now have a mate" My father's smiling face hurt me so much. " Father, I never asked for a mate, I am not interested" I blurted
Janet's POV I took the last water and poured it on my body; I knew he would scream my name when he got back because I had just used what he asked me not to touch. I rushed out of the house, I was going to meet Alpha Berrent. I got there and met lots of girls gathered at his place; they were not alone; they had their mothers with them. It seemed strange to me. I managed to pass in between them. I felt a hand behind me, I was dragged back. "Where are you going?" The person asked me. I gently turned to see who it was, it was one of the mothers. Her face was filled with anger, I have no idea why she did what she did to me. " Why would you do that?" I gently asked her because I was in no mood for any trouble. " I know you, I remember you from that night, Leader of the Omega group. You should be ashamed that you go in front of everyone and become an embarrassment" she said. She was still holding me tightly. I turned and saw that other mothers had the same look on
Janet's POVI began to feel my environment and the energy that was around me. I opened my eyes slowly and it was kind of dark at first, till it began to get clearer. " Where am I?" I got up and saw that we were not in the room he had claimed to be his secret room, a room befitting of an Alpha like him to own. I got up and saw him standing, he was backing me as well. " What happened to me and why are we outside here?" I asked him." You are in a safe place" He responded. I was not asking him if it was safe or not, all I wanted to know was the place I was. " I do not care about that, where is this place?" " Shuuuu, you talk too much, can you be quiet for a while, I am busy," he said. I looked at him, and what he was doing. He was still holding the bowl that I had seen him with, the one that he had taken my blood into. I looked at the place he had cut and saw the mark there. It still hurt me, so I used my index finger and rubbed it. I was hurt. I tried to stand up to my feet bu
Janet's POVHe refused to come close to me even when I tried making advances. " I do not want this, and I have not had someone disturb my sleep; I would appreciate it if you could stay away from me," he said. He moved towards the end of the bed, as he backed me. I looked at how masculine he was, he was big and that was an added advantage. How can he be like this? " Okay, fine, maybe not tonight, but I know it is going to happen some other day," I said." You wish?" He sighed. I watched as he slept soundly; I could not stretch my hands to him; he had warned me not to come close or to touch him, so I could not do so. I slept off when I was tired of looking at him. Sun rays shone brightly in my eyes. I opened my eyes and looked at where it was coming from. I saw that he had opened the curtains, but he was not in the room. I stood up and went to where he had laid; I touched it and had to kneel so I could get the fragrance off the bed. " That is so disgusting; I can not believe y
Janet's POVHe was serious about getting Derek out of the way. " He is planning against us, and it is best that we take him out of the way first before he thinks of getting what he wants," he said. I turned my face, and my eyes landed on Lisa, who was in the corner of the room. " Is she going to join us?" I asked him He turned and faced her. " Is this something you would want to do? I understand that you might not want to participate in this and I am not forcing you to do it. I just want you to know that you can join us, and if you do not want to, it is totally fine with me," he said. I loved that we asked her before making decisions on her behalf. I was not comfortable with Lisa following us because I felt she was going to be emotional and I did not want that. He did all the evil things to her, and now she hates him, but I do not trust that because he had married her, and this is someone she had intercourse with. She was going to feel emotion and I did not want that to happen
Janet's POVI stepped into the open field with my bag. I was ready for anyone who tried to bully me or to obey some silly instructions from the Alpha. I sat down; I was alone, the first person to be there, so I wanted to take my time and make sure I settled in before thestartedrted coming to the field. After some hours, they began to come in. No one talked to me. They all avoided me like I had some disease or something. I frowned, why were they avoiding me? I had no business with them and this was what I get? I joined in the training. My eyes caught the one who had come to the house to ask me to come for training. He was also acting like I was some evil that was around him. I focused on the training. All I wanted to do was to leave and not return, but I was caught up in this mess of a thing, and it was becoming tiring. I think they were told not to talk to me or to have anything with me. They probably asked me to come for the training because they wanted me to experience this. I
Janet's POVI did not let her get into the house; I was so mad at her for coming over to my place to request a jacket. She was not concerned if I was okay or not. I had taken that jacket because I knew she was going to come for it, or maybe she would ask Kevin to take the jacket for her. Whatever it was, she needed to see me because she was not going to get that jacket through Kevin. I wanted her to take it from me. " This is what you left your house for?" I asked her. " I came to see you, why are you not happy about it? What's wrong?" " Coming to see me and coming to take your jacket are two different things, Sara" " Okay, fine, I came to see you and to take the jacket as well," she said. It made me laugh; she was trying to play some tricks on me, and I was not having it. " I'll go get your jacket for you" I went into the house, took the jacket, and threw it at her " Look, I know you are mad at me because of what happened, and I am very sorry about it. I should have come ear
Janet's POVThe instructions he gave to me about Mark were never going to be taken seriously, even though I agreed to stay away from Mark and make sure he was unable to contact me. I called him right after I got home. " I'm home now; you can start coming over," I said. My parents were fine. No one came to harass them, I'm beginning to think that it is because of Mark's warriors who are here, and that is why no one has been able to get into the house and drag my parents out. Mark came after a while. It was so fast. " I was around this place, waiting for when you would call me," he said. I wondered what he would have done if I did not call him like I had promised, or if I had foolishly obeyed the instruction from Kevin. " Ooh, okay, come in," I said. He stepped into the house and sat close to me. He was calm and the air around him was not offensive or choking like the way it would have made me feel if I was with Kevin. He looked at me, then looked behind me. " Are you searchin
Janet's POVI jumped up from the bed and went to the door. Before I could open the door, Kevin was behind me. He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into the room. " Someone is at the door, and I need to check who that is," I said. " You will hurt yourself if you continue to do this. I am the one to go check that; stay here, and let me go check who is at the door," he said. He smiled and touched my cheeks. " Alright," I agreed with him. This was the exact thing that he had told me when he brought me here. I had listened to him and had not come out the way he had asked me not to. He left and went to the door. I did not stay back the way he had wanted me to; I had to hide somewhere that I could see the door. When he opened the door, it was Sara who was there. She walked in and hugged him. Kevin pulled her away from himself. " What's wrong" " I need you to leave right now; Janet is here," he said. " Ooh, you should have texted me" " Are you being serious? You should have t
Janet's POVI sat inside the car, staring at Sara's jacket in the back seat. It was funny to me, wondering what her jacket was doing there. " Sara has been going on rides with you, where have you two been going?" " What do you mean by that?" " Her jacket is right there; I'm sure she left it there. You took Sara out and here I am in your car, taking me out too?" I frowned. He looked at me, his fingers were no longer stable. " I do not understand you sometimes. Sara had an emergency and she needed my help. Maybe you should talk to Berrent to stop what he is doing. Her father was among the people who were affected, and I had to help her; I'm sure her mind was too occupied with her father's safety to remember a jacket," he said. I felt like the jacket thing did not come the day she went about saving her father. " I'm sorry about that; I did not know that her father got affected, such terrible news. I have to go see her" I said. " I know, but after we get back from where we are goi
Janet's POVThe soldier who was bleeding was brought back to normalcy, he was attended to and made to rest his head. " Thank you for coming so soon," he said to the medicine man. My phone won't stop ringing, it was my mother who was calling. I did not want to pick, all I wanted to do was to return home to meet with her. " I'll be going back to my Pack; I need to get back to Mother," I said. " It is too dangerous for that, Janet. They know that I did what I did because of you and they might harm you if they see you" " I know, but it is my pack, where else would I be? I have to go back, I do not care what happens, my parents might be in danger and I have to meet with them" " If you need help, ring me with your palms. I don't know why you have not done that before; you should try," he said. I nodded my head and left. I was happy that he did not try to stop me from doing what I wanted to do. I got to my Pack and went to the house. My heart began to beat so fast when I saw some war
Janet's POV I held Lisa after I dropped the phone on the table. " We should take the back door," she said to me. I did not bother thinking if the back door was going to work for us or not. I agreed with her and we went through the back door. There was a road there, we took that road and kept running. We had to run to another place entirely, then began finding our way back to the pack. I was tired by the time we got to the pack. Berrent was not back yet and I had no idea what was going on there. My phone began to ring; it was Kevin who was calling me; how foolish of him to be calling me. What if I had died? Would he call me? I refused to pick up his call, he kept calling and would not stop. " Maybe he wants to tell you something," Lisa said. " He has nothing important to say to me; he is calling for the most stupid reason," I said. Lisa did not agree with me, she took the phone and picked up the call. " What do you want?" She spoke into the phone. " Who the hell is this? Gi
Janet's POVI stayed back and watched as they left the Pack to mine. Berrent was very angry and he was going to do a lot to him that day. I hope nothing happens to Kevin and Derek. They were mine to hurt. I'm going to make sure they get what they deserve. I went back into the house. Lisa was by the door. " Is anything wrong?" I asked her. " Nothing is wrong; I'm happy that all of this is happening. You need to get healed so we can go after Derek" she said. I was not expecting that from her so soon. I thought she was going to convince me not to hurt him. " You have given in already? You want him out of this surface right?" I needed to be sure. " I know you are thinking I would stop you or give you a million reasons why you should not hurt him, but I'm never going to do that; if he can do this to me and also try to do the same to you, then he would find another victim," she said. I went to her and hugged her. " You are safe with me, and I will make sure I protect you," I whisp
