***Amanda's POV***“You have nothing to fear because the deed has already been done.”“What do you mean?” She asked, looking confused about what I had said. “She's definitely going to be hated by them. There's nothing to worry about her, especially now that all of them caught her red-handed. Thanks for calling me and telling me what happened.”“I didn't mean to say that to you.”“Please don't let your conscience make you feel guilty. You made the right choice, Elena. If you continue to collaborate with me in the future, I'll continue to help you.”“I don't want to collaborate with you in the future. Maybe you don't understand what I'm trying to say. I don't want anything to do with you from now on. Don't you understand?”I stared at Elena for a while. I understood exactly what she was trying to say, but little did she know that she cannot stop cooperating with me from now on. “Elena, I want you to calm down and think this through. Though you might think that you don't want me now,
***Elena's POV***“What are you talking about, Keira? What do you mean, you're not coming back to work or the house?”“Elena, I know this is confusing for you, but Drake was right. Someone had begun to put an eye on me. I would rather not get you in trouble. I would never forgive myself if something terrible should happen to you because of me.”“No, wait. You really do not have to leave.“Well, that's because she's been busy lately,” I said with a half-baked smile, even though it wasn't what I wanted. “This is serious. You two are housemates. Are you trying to tell me that you have no idea where she has gone?”“How am I supposed to answer all these questions? Don't you think it is too private for you all to ask?”I snapped at them and immediately, they all went silent. I didn't care to see their reaction before walking away from them. They are becoming too annoying at work, and it was, beginning to get on my nerves. If only they had an idea about him, I feel at this moment. “Miss
**Keira's POV***While I was going through the internet, I suddenly saw where it was written that Amanda and a reporter had been seen together and Amanda had declared her friend. I couldn't help but wonder who that reporter was because her face was always blurred, making it impossible for me to see exactly what she looked like. Well, it isn't my business. She has every right to choose those she wants by her side. Though I hope she's not going to cause a disaster. I've had a bad feeling about Amanda ever since the last time we met at the club. Maybe it was just my speculation and there was actually nothing wrong. While I was at the pack, I went through certain discrimination which made me stay indoors for the whole week that I've been here. My mates are all busy with work. But then, while I was in the pack. I could hardly move around. Though they have no rules for me and neither did they stop me from going out. Drake specifically asked me to feel home and do whatever I wanted to d
***Keira's POV****“You'll talk to me with respect, Arthur.”“Respect? Have you forgotten the fact that I'm an Alpha.”An Alpha? What pack was he from, and what is he doing in Drake's territory?“Well, you are not in your jurisdiction or are you? If you want some respect from me, why don't you wait until you see me in your pack? By then you can ask me for respect, and I'll gladly give. “I see. Very well noted. You never can tell, you might be coming to my pack pretty soon.”“Then I'd really look forward to that day, that's if it will ever come.”The Alpha suddenly bursts into chuckles. For some reason, I don't feel good about this Alpha. And seeing how Ethan responded to him, shows to a great extent that the two are not on good terms. “So, why don't you introduce the woman by your side to me, Ethan?“Don't you think you're unreasonably nosy right now?”“Unreasonably nosy, you say. Forgive me for prying. I don't think your involvement with this lady is a secret. Have you forgotten y
***Amanda's POV***“Brother, it's rare to see you call for me. Whatever the reason is, it must be very important. Am I right?”“You're very correct. I have a reason why I called you here, and it has to do with the lady who Alpha Drake and his brothers have been lusting over.”“Wait a minute. Does this mean you think the same way too? You think they are all head over heels for Keira?” I asked, wide-eyed. “Calm down, this isn't the time to get all Panicky yet.”Okay, heaved a deep sigh and swallowed hard. “You're right. There's no need to get all Panicky yet. So, tell me, brother. What do you think about her?”“Well, I must say that she's quite a beauty.”“Brother!”“What? I'm not lying about what I said.”“That isn't what I want to hear! Don't tell me you were busy checking her out when you could have found out important clues.”“What are you talking about?” My brother asked with a raised brow.“Well, I actually didn't bring this to you because I've been quite busy myself and also, I
***Amanda's POV**“What? How the hell do you even come up with things like that. And by the way, what you're suggesting is far too dangerous. If you ask me, I would prefer we use another tactic.”“As it is, I'm not sure if there's any more tactics to use here. If we want to get her well, the best thing is to get her out of the pack.”“Amanda, you just think before you act. You think it's easy to infiltrate Drake's pack. If it were that easy, I would have been the first to burst in on him.”“Brother, why are you suddenly bringing up such jokes? Are you going to help me or not?”“Of course, I want to help you. Why would you even think that I don't want to help? Over these years, you're the reason I haven't gone head on with Drake.”“Thank you so much, but I would need your help more than ever, brother. I need to find a way to get rid of Keira once and for all.”“When you say, get rid of her. Do you mean you wish to have her killed?”“I would have loved to do that. That would save me a l
***Elena's POV***I arrived at work that morning to submit the first draft of my report to Mr. Graham. “Now you're doing well. This is what I had expected of you, Elena. If you keep going like this, you'll soon become as famous as Keira. I mean, who would have thought that an opportunity to interview Drake would put her where she had today. Just how lucky this girl is.”What the hell is he talking about? I was the one who got her where she is today. If I hadn't convinced her to take up Drake's case, she wouldn't have become as popular as she is today. Makes me sick to see everyone singing her praises when they clearly have no idea that it was all thanks to me.“Well, boss, if you don't have any further instructions to give to me, then I would like to take my leave.”“Oh you should. I'm sure you'll shine under Amanda, just like Keira had shone under Mr. Drake.My boss obviously has no idea what's going on, does he?“Alright, boss. Now that I've submitted my draft, I guess I should tak
***Keira's POV***Having been in the pack for so long, I became accustomed to my days of silence and days when I go out with either Drake, Ethan, or Damson. Furthermore, in order for me not to get bored, they made sure that I was engaged, doing different things I liked. If this is how I am to live my life, I'll be the happiest person alive. But then, I know for a fact that I can't stay hidden forever. Today is one of the days I have to be home alone. Even though I had three mates, these lonely days didn't pass me by. I walked over to Drake's study and picked up a random book about witches. This was my first time roaming an Alpha's study room. And I had no idea that in their study room, there are books of history. Could it be Drake's office alone?Well, I have no idea, and I'm not going to stress my head into finding out. I sat myself down on his chair and went through the book. A few minutes into reading the book, I felt my eyes suddenly grow heavy. Presently, I realized that nothi
***Keira's POV***“What are you going here? I asked, as so bad, I opened the door. I was still trying to pretend not to care, but then his smile immediately melted my heart that instant. The fact that he was actually innocent in all of this made me melt like ice.“No, no, no, Kendra. You can't fall for him like this,” I cautioned my wolf in my thoughts. “But I want you to fall for me.”I gasped in shock the moment he replied to what I said to my wolf. “Keira, you actually do have a wolf. I'm so happy. Now my wolf can relate to Kendra more. She refused us last night, just like you refused me.”I swallowed hard at his statement. I walked away from the door, and he quickly came in and shut the door. “You should place the tray on the table and leave,” I said with my back against him. I can't face him while rejecting him. “Why don't you look at me and tell me you want me to leave, truly?”Why is he trying to tempt me into saying things I don't want to in front of me? “Keira, I know y
***Drake's POV***Seeing her smile with tears trickling down her face only made me feel terribly guilty. I could clearly see the pain in her eyes. “Do I look like I'm okay to you?”She asked while looking at the three of us with a tear-filled gaze. “You know what, I don't ever want to see your faces in front of me ever again!”With that, she stormed out of the room, leaving us in a total speechless state.”“Brother, what do you think we should do now? She clearly hates us, and I don't think she'll give us another chance to explain things.”“At this point, I think we have to do it differently and not as a team.”“What do you mean, brother?” Ethan asked. “I think the only reason why she doesn't want to listen to us is because she detests all three of us telling her the same thing. I think we'll make progress if each of us approach her differently without dragging anyone into this.”“If that's the case, then I can as well kiss my mate goodbye.”“What do you mean?” I asked Ethan who a
***Keira's POV***“You know what. I don't ever want to see you in front of me ever again!”“Keira, that was all our fault, but that is where it all ended.”“What do you mean?” I asked Ethan who spoke up. “When we noticed you were banished Without our authorization, we went into the woods searching for you.”What does he mean I was banished without his authorization? “We couldn't find you, no matter how badly we searched the woods.”“Of course you can't find me because I was abducted by Arthur!”“Yes. And we found out this happened because Amanda and Elena both joined hands to set you up.”I shook my head. “That's not true. Amanda would never do such a thing to me. I'm sure you're just telling me this to get me to shift the blame from you.”“Keira, please calm down. I know we've wronged you terribly; hence there's nothing we would say now that would change your mind. However, you need to know the whole truth and why we couldn't save you,” Drake explained. “Why don't you show her th
***Keira's POV***As I entertained a conversation with the guests who wanted to know more about me, I couldn't help but take notice of Damson and Ethan, who hovered behind me like bodyguards. What's their problem? I don't see Drake with them. He probably must be having a private conversation with my dad, since dad talked about wanting to speak with him before now. I couldn't help but become curious about what they were talking about. It can't be that their conversation is about me. At this point, I don't care if my cover is blown, the ones to suffer for the backlash isn't me but them. For this reason, I didn't bother to worry about anything. After entertaining all the guests who wanted a conversation with me, I took a deep breath and turned around. They must not have been expecting it, judging from the way they both jolted backwards, startled. “Well, gentlemen, do you also wish to have a conversation with me?” I asked with my hands on my waist.“Yes, we,” they both took quick glan
**Alpha Drake's POV**“My goodness! Brother, did you see what happened just now? Keira actually walked away, pretending not to know us.” Ethan said. “It is to be expected, didn't you think of that?”“I did. But did you see how she was laughing and smiling with that guy?”“You mean, Reynold's beta?”“Isn't he too young to be the Alpha's Beta?” Damson asked. “I don't think he's too young, if that's what you're asking.” The old beta died a long time ago and his son, Dark, replaced him about 8 years ago. So we could say he became beta the moment he turned 18,” I explained to my brothers. “So why was he so close to Keira? It's barely a year since Keira came to the pack. Why is he all over her?”“Keep it down, Ethan. I know you're eager to find everything, but you must understand that our mission is not the beta, but our mate never forgets that.”“I know. But with her present reaction, isn't it obvious that she wants nothing to do with us?”I turned my gaze towards Ethan.“So what do yo
***Keira's POV**When I said the words, a feeling of sadness watched over me. I wouldn't be thinking about the part right now if those three musketeers aren't probably waiting for my return at the dinner table. “Miss Keira, why do you look so sad after saying those words?”“Dark, there are certain things you don't know about me.”“Of course, I don't know you that well. I only know the things you want me to see, you know. And if you'll let me, I wish to know you more, so I can actually understand you.”“You think you can understand me if I decided to tell you?”“But of course. I know you have a sad backstory. You don't need to say. Those times your mom… I'm sorry to bring her up.”“No, it's fine, you can continue with what you're saying.”“Alright. What I'm trying to say is that, those times when your mom abandoned you, it must have been hard to survive on your own. Being a female in the outside world without the protection of a pack must have been very Terrible.”“Yea, you're right.
***Keira's POV***“Well, well, well. Who do we have here if not the celebrant.”Here she goes again. It was better to leave rather than stay here to listen to her banter. Just as I walked past her and headed for the door, she cleared her throat. “You must have thought you've achieved something great since our dad decided to throw you a party. “Not today, Ramona, I'm not in the mood.”“Not in the mood? I think you'll be interested in what I'm about to say to you.”I shut my eyes at this moment. There's no way of getting rid of Ramona once she starts her tantrums. “What is so important that you wish to talk about?” I asked, turning around to face her with my hands folded on my chest.“Oh come on. Don't make it seem like you're actually the one trying to do me a favor by wanting to listen to what I have to say. Matter of fact, I'll be the one doing you a favor with what I'm about to say to you.”“Well, since that's the case, I would really like to hear what you have to say.”“Your dr
***Keira's POV***This was indeed the most beautiful day in my entire existence. I thought I was going to mess things up. I feared I would be looked at with scorn. Even though I might get stoned for being wolf-less once, and associating with them.What was I thinking? Thinking they could do that to me at my party is as good as making myself believe that my dad isn't capable of protecting me. Even though they had such bitterness in their hearts, they wouldn't be able to show it because the Alpha will surely not let them bully me or do anything to hurt me. When I finally got down the stairs, my dad was the first to stretch his hands towards me. I quickly took his hands and he led me down towards the guests. He introduced me to all his friends and business partners. I was over the moon at this moment. I never thought that this would be possible. “Alpha Reynold, indeed you have beautiful daughters I must say. Your eldest daughter is such a beauty. I can't count how many men present gu
**Alpha Drake's POV***Ever since we left the Blue Crystal pack, I've been having the thought that there's something missing which I did not get to see while I was at the pack. No matter how hard I think about it, I just can't wrap my head around what it is, to be honest. I just have the feeling that there's something I'm missing. To make things worse, my brothers also felt the same way. Which was why we all agreed that we must attend the party of Alpha Reynolds's daughter and then use the opportunity to find out what it is we actually missed. When they finally arrived, I was surprised that Damson and Ethan were the first to call me and inform me about the invitation to the Blue crystal pack. We all had the same feeling that there's something we were missing. While on our way to the pack, I couldn't help but wonder what it was. I'll find out what time it is. The last time I went there, I was shocked to see one of my socks members who was banished there. I felt guilty, even thoug
