Roseline’s POV. The night came, I had dreaded the night time and finally, it covered the sky and loomed around me like a cloak of doom. Not even the moon was out, I couldn’t make out a single star in the sky, the smell of death hovered above me. I could feel it above me, I could feel it around me and I could feel it beneath my feet. Death, only death, its stench was intoxicating. I have never felt like this in my entire life, the feeling of knowing the cold hands of death was creeping up my spine but there was nothing I could do about it. I accepted it as my fate, right from the time the Onyx Blood pack was under threat and my father had made the decision to seek the help of Liam, I had a feeling that my life won’t be my own anymore from that moment. I was used as collateral, it was my destiny to save the pack and my family, I had accepted it then. Thinking I could cope with it, thinking Liam wouldn’t be so cruel and wicked to me, but that wasn’t the case. Here I was again, I never
Roseline’s POV They were all dead, they were dead! It still didn’t register in my mind that my family was truly gone. The brutal way they had died made it all look so unreal, I scrambled over to the dead body of my father. I couldn’t recognize him, it was like he had been mutilated by their merciless claws. I was breathing so fast and heavily, my breath felt hot under my nostrils. I had felt the eerie presence of death all night, but not for my family, for me instead. I was the only one that was supposed to die tonight, not them, not my innocent family. I hadn’t bargained for this or even considered the possibility of it. Of course, I knew Liam was wicked and didn’t mind killing anyone just to get me, but it never crossed my mind that he would go this far. As far as wiping out my family, my innocent brother, my mother who only wanted to live a peaceful life. They were all in a pool of their blood, the sight was gruesome and traumatizing and I was shocked to my bones. A voice was rec
Roseline's POV. A bright light flashed in my head and a headache suddenly ravaged my head. My eyes were sealed shut and I struggled to part my eyelids but they wouldn’t give in to my command. I remained still for a while, when I tried to move my body, I felt a sharp pain and I groaned. Immediately, there was a shuffle of feet around me and I heard voices, whoever they were jabbered so quickly that I was unable to make out whatever they were saying. I listened more intently and the words came to me. “Oh my, she’s finally awake! Get the doctor!” One of the voices exclaimed. “The doctor? No, get her sister. Get the princess. That's a wiser move.” Another voice said. I could feel the urgency in their voices, it was like something tragic had happened. “We also need the doctor, you know what, just get both, get both of them!” Another voice said and again I heard footsteps around me. The footsteps fade away and I tried to open my eyes again, everything was white and blurry, and I could
Liam’s POV Two years wasn’t such a long time, after all, I thought as I sat in the stuffy comfort of my study. Two years had passed since the incident with the traitor, Roseline. For weeks and months, it was the only thing I had thought about, the way her family had been slain, the way she had died too, and most of all, the fury and hatred her eyes had portrayed. Whatever, to hell with that and to hell with her! She was gone now and probably rotting in hell with the rest of her family. I was glad it was all behind me now, two years was long enough for one to move on. I smoked cigarette after cigarette in my study until I heard a knock on the door. “Come in,” I ordered and a maid walked in stiffly and bowed. “Alpha Liam, the dining table is set.” She announced and I nodded. She walked away and closed the door behind her, I took in a deep breath as I stubbed out my cigarette. I suddenly didn’t feel enthusiastic about anything anymore, I took my coat from the hanger it was on and l
Roseline’s POV I woke up the next morning as the rays of the sun danced continuously on my eyelids. I sat up and leaned on the bed head, it was then I took a good look at the bedroom I was in. For a moment, I had forgotten where I was, what had happened, and why I was here. It didn’t take long for me to remember it all, my new sister, Anna, and my new father who was the Alpha of one of the most powerful and wealthy packs in this new city. A smile played on my lips, I remembered it all, Liam, Tyler, all of them. All of them who were on my death list, yes, I had one and it was pretty short, but it would go a long way in affecting the lives of a lot of people. Liam as the Alpha King, pitied the people of his city, they would lose both their Alpha King and the Beta King to the same vengeful lady. I felt so good, so energetic, I could move my body anyhow I wanted. It was like I didn’t even have bones in my body, I moved like a fluid. Whatever Anna had given to me the previous day worke
Roseline’s POVThere was an uproar in the pack, or so I heard from Anna, but it wasn’t any of my concern. I was too busy strategizing my next move, I had to be very careful with the way I went about my revenge. I couldn’t forget in a hurry how cruel and wicked the men my revenge was directed at were. Liam was who I was after the most, I wouldn’t spare or forgive him, no matter what. But could I forgive Tyler? He had deceived me, at least Liam was open and plain with his hatred for me but Tyler had deceived me instead. He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing and I had fallen for his trap so stupidly. It hurt me, even as I sat on the comfortable bed in my room, it pierced my heart and hurt my pride. No, I will not be merciful to any of them, they had been in it together from the start. I was reincarnated now, reborn with a new dictionary and the word forgiveness wasn’t in it. Before I left my father’s office, my eyes caught something interesting, it was a document that was to be signed. O
Tyler’s POVI spat it out immediately the liquid touched my tongue, and the Scotch I drank suddenly tasted sour and bitter in my mouth. The last time I felt like this, so tensed and burdened was on the night Liam had killed Roseline. I hadn’t been able to sleep a wink, it had been pure torture that night and I felt the same way now, but why? That was the question, why did I feel this way all of a sudden? It wasn’t just guilt, it was a feeling of impending doom, an omen, yes, that was it, an omen. And something told me deep within that I wasn’t ready for what was coming and that was what frightened me more. I sat on the edge of the bed and while I was lost in deep thoughts, two arms circled my body and held me close. I felt her warm breasts pressing against my back as she leaned in and kissed my neck, it was Lina, my wife. We got married about eight months ago and things were moving pretty smoothly between both of us. She was an absolute gem, endowed with a voluptuous figure that c
Liam's POV Tyler’s words before he came to visit again had struck a note in my head, did he think everything that was happening now was because of what had happened two years ago? That was quite superstitious of him, the life of one person couldn’t bring so much torture. The Alpha Kings before me had killed hundreds of people to conquer territories and seize the powers I held in my hands now, so why would the life of a mere slave affect me greatly? I felt remorse towards the way I had killed Roseline and her family and it was a past I tried to bury. An old me, as they say, I tried to not just hide, but also terminate for good. But now, I felt it coming back, the evil I had once basked in was clothing me yet again. Maybe it was the presence of someone that brought back the evil in me. I tried to fight it, I still had a chance, it hadn’t taken complete control over me.I didn’t take the harsh and disrespectful manner Tyler had spoken to me to heart, at least not now. At that moment, I
