CARSON’S POVI felt calm. My body was relaxed and my mind was at rest. This had never happened to me since I could remember. I was awake but my body didn't want to move from the position it was. I tried to remember what happened that made me sleep on my bed because I hardly do. As I willed my eyes to open, I looked around the room and there was no one there. That was when it came rushing to me. Earlier this morning. Anne was here even though her scent already faded out. She made me sleep. I checked the alarm clock on my bedside and the time was one in the afternoon.What? Opening the curtains, I was hit back by how bright it was. This had never happened. I don't normally sleep this late. I never slept in. The most hours I've slept is three hours at a stretch. I was always the first to get up in the house.How did she do it? I didn't wake up from any nightmares and a pounding headache. I ran my palms down my face and sat back on my bed. I thought about what the wolf killed the day b
UNKNOWN’S POVI hated every one of them. The Alphas. The three of them got on my nerves. Behaving like they were more than they were. They were nothing without me. This kingdom would have fallen long ago if it wasn’t for me. They would have been defeated long ago if it wasn't for me. But they didn't recognize me. They didn't recognize my efforts. I was just tossed aside only to be called upon if there was a need for me. They will suffer. All of them. And I'll get back what was mine. What belonged to me.Those three imbeciles weren't even fit for the role of alphas. But I was. And I already had the plan of taking over in motion when that bitch decided to show up as their mate. I knew that when she turned out to be the mate of the three of them, there was going to be a problem. Stuff like that rarely happened.Walking around the mansion was a hobby of mine that I had come to love over the years. It felt like I was having a look and taste of what was eventually going to be mine. Before
CADEL’S POVThings had been getting out of hand recently. I had to stay away from the hospital for a while to take care of the packing business with my brothers. I felt weird about the fact that we had a betrayer among us. My mind was not even pointing at anyone in particular. We didn't have many people who were close to us regarding pack matters. We'd always kept it mostly between us three and if it was very important, we involved Lucas. Even as a beta, Lucas doesn't know most things, he only knew basic stuff. That was all. And I knew for a fact that he would not betray us. He'd sworn his alliance and been our only close friend for a long time now. His father had been such a cool person towards my brothers and me. He helped us when we got confused about pack matters. The alpha's summit was in a few days and I was a little bit scared of what might happen. Cause there was no doubt that something was going to happen. My brothers and I had planned that I was the one that was going to
ANNE’S POVWe all sat at the dining table. All of us. Cadel, Cam, Carson, Nicole and I. It was the night before the guys went to the summit they were to attend. We had never had dinner together before, which made this awkward. The big dining room aided the deafening silence that went on. Only the sounds of clattering cutlery could be heard. I was sitting opposite the guys while Nic sat beside me. No one sat at the table head.I was kind of conscious of myself because this is the closest I think I've been with the three of them at once.Nicole suddenly broke the silence, running her palms together,"So, brothers, when did you say you will be coming back?" She asked looking at the three of them at the same time. "In the next three days," Cadel said. That seemed like a long time to me. I didn't say anything though. I didn't want to seem like a weakling in front of them. The three of them haven't warmed up to the idea of me yet. Carson still stays away. He only came to me sometimes whe
ANNE’S POVI sat on the window sill in my bedroom. Looking around the surrounding area, I noticed that there were more butterflies around and the atmosphere smelled nice. The sun shone so brightly in the sky, though it was still morning, one would have mistook it for afternoon. The guys left earlier this morning. Immediately they left, the house felt lonely and empty. Not particularly empty, everyone was around except for them and a few guards who went with them. An uncomfortable feeling had settled down in my abdomen since I woke up fully this morning. After I woke up from the dream, I didn't feel too good. I hid it well and tried not to let them notice when they came to bid me goodbye.Cam and Cadel came together to see me. I was still asleep when they came in. Later, Carson came alone. I was already fully awake when he walked in. My sore mood was on display, one because I thought he was not going to be seeing me before he left. And second because of the dream. He asked me what wa
ANNE’S POVThe atmosphere was very calm and quiet. Except for the people moving around the mansion doing one thing or the other. Nicole and I spent the entire day with each other. With her not leaving my side even for a second, I laughed my ass out. She was such a funny soul. Today was the second day that the guys left and they would be coming back tomorrow or the the next. Maybe what they were fearing would happen wouldn’t actually occur. Nic and I spent more time training together today. I found it to be very intriguing. But something has been bothering me a bit since yesterday. I felt my right hand shaking for a few seconds. After a while it would stop. I don't know the reason for that and I didn't bother to tell Nic, so as not to bother her. And I knew she'd tell the guys. At first, when it happened, I thought it was because I was hungry at that particular time. But later, it happened again. And one thing was that the strange thing started when I had that dream. "Boo." I jump
CARSON’S POVWhen the first day of the summit passed and nothing happened, the level of my nervousness increased. I didn't know what to do. I felt restless. My brothers were always on the tablet to check out the camera settings or to see if anything strange passed by. We met up with our friends Justin, Roy and Stephan who tried to pull us out of the state of dilemma the three of us seemed to be in. I didn't stop disturbing Nic with calls every one hour. She was already tired of me according to her.But she knew better than to ignore my call. We could leave the summit if she didn't pick her phone or if Anne didn't. My brothers were the ones calling Anne. I preferred to call Nic. Today, the meeting was longer than usual and we all had to stay long. I still didn’t see the reason for this meeting. I think it was just to call us all together but it was still a waste of time for me. I had better things to do and to worry about. We all went into our different rooms. That was one thing I w
CAM’S POVImmediately Carson walked out of the room, few minutes later I followed him. I knew where he was going and I wanted to be there. Kane fucked us all up. We trusted him. I personally wanted to hear his excuse for what he did. For doing this to us. We took him as a father figure when our parents died. He was the one that kept us safe during the attack that happened when our parents died. I was particularly closer to him. Or so I thought. He'd always asked me how I was doing. We bonded most times whenever he came over to my greenhouse. He'd asked me loads of questions regarding the plants and flowers I was raising.Anytime I had something bothering me, he'll be the first person I'd go to. He was the father figure in my life particularly. How and why he did this was what I couldn’t understand. I felt overwhelming pain and betrayal as I could not still comprehend this happening.What if Lucas knew about this too? Were they both in on it? As I walked down the stairs, everything
