19. Making Everyone Regret Rafael's POV:Bryan's words were tough for me to understand and accept. She opted to flee from me rather than come to me and be saved. Bryan provided me with details about the alleged auction, explaining that those involved had given their consent for this decision to proceed, supposedly to secure much-needed funds. This meant that my mate was not only aware but had granted permission. The realization that she would rather be sold than be with me was a bitter pill to swallow. I couldn't help but think she should have taken a moment before making such a drastic decision."So she agreed to everything right away?" I pressed Bryan for more details; my rage unchecked. If my suspicions were correct, I wasn't sure how I would react."No, Sir, I mean, the pack definitely says that our queen allowed them, which was difficult for me to swallow, so I went to find every small piece of information from the depth, and I could even tell the pack was lying because I had M
20. Old Friends?Third Person's POV: Rafael tightened his fist in a tight grasp, irritation coursing through him at the sight of Vincent. It had been centuries since they last met, and Rafael harbored suspicions about Vincent's involvement in his mother's death. Despite being the most powerful warlock known, Vincent's attempts to harm Rafael in the past haven't been very effective. There was an odd chance that he was the one responsible for everything because there was a time when he tried to harm Rafael with his magic, but it didn't have much of an effect on him. Rafael remained silent, mainly because he lacked proof that he was the sole perpetrator of everything. All of the information he uncovered led him to the conclusion that someone from within was to blame. There was a period when everyone lived in harmony, and Rafael and Vincent had known each other since they were children. They weren't best friends of any kind; they merely saw each other and played there. Even though Vinc
21. Taking HomeThird Person's POV: Rafael regretted speaking to Astrid in that manner. His well-laid plans were disrupted by the people around him and their thoughts, tarnishing his original intentions. He didn't want Astrid to know who bought her yet, which is why he told Bryan to do everything and take her home so she wouldn't be scared of him, but the damage had already been done. He kept his gaze down until they reached home, where he retreated to a corner to scold himself for his rash behavior, he should have been mature enough not to allow anything or anyone to influence his decision. Nevertheless, the harm was done, and Rafael decided to reprimand himself later. For now, he needed to address the situation and make everyone involved regret their actions. He first went to the Alpha's office, where Edward was making out with Charlotte; they didn't even have the decency to close the door. He cleared his throat to get their attention, and he was successful. "Oh... Mr Delmar, ple
22. Ashamed SelfThis Chapter is dedicated to MONA LOVE. Thank you for your support —a deity in human form.Unlike other werewolves or supernatural creatures, her skin was coated in a gorgeous tan. Her eyes were a magnificent dark brown, as huge as a gazelle, and her long lashes decorated her face nicely. Soft brown hair framed her features, and my gaze lingered on her lips, enticing and tempting to have a taste of them.I mentally shook my head, reminding myself not to scare her.She, too, was staring at me with innocent eyes that encompassed my entire universe. I have to stop myself; I need to gain her trust first, and for the rest, I have my life to live with her.She glanced away from me, then grabbed her dress strap and began taking it from her shoulder. I couldn't figure out why she suddenly began stripping down. Why was she doing this when she was clearly uncomfortable?"What are you up to?" I gri

24. Daddy Dearest Rafael's POV "Sir, where to?" Bryan inquired. "It's time that we have a talk with Daddy dearest" I answered. "Are we going to see Elliot Delmar?" he asked. "Bryan, stop asking silly questions and spoiling my mood." I said this while giving him a bored look. "Oh, okay," he said with a Cheshire cat grin. "Did you send Eva to Astrid's help?" I questioned him, almost forgetting that I had urged my sister to go and comfort Astrid. I still need to explain everything to Eva later; otherwise, she won't let me breathe. I already have a feeling she will have all the information from Astrid till I return since she is really good at starting conversations, and I think she and Astrid will get along pretty well and might wind up becoming friends. Yes, I spoke about Astrid to Eva; she, being the most beautiful sister she is, may have already begun her mission. "I can't believe Eva is your sister; she's so beautiful." Bryan commented. I jabbed him in the side with my elbow.

26. sister's bonding This chapter is dedicated to ORIANJUSTIN HOYALS .Thank you for your support Astrid's POV:"Hello, my name is Eva, and you're Astrid, right?" she said as she extended her hand to me.I was still clutching the quilt, unsure what would happen if I let it go. I kept staring at her, unsure whether to accept her hand or not. I didn't want to offend her; if she was close to him, harm might befall me. Eventually, I gripped the quilt with one hand and extended the other."Hey," I said, and she smiled back at me."Oh my god, you are so gorgeous; no surprise, my brother has been smitten with you since the first time he saw you." She hugged me."B-B- Brother?" I frowned."Yes, Rafael is my brother, the real one." I don't know much about vampires other than the fact that they are territorial and aggressive.She appeared to be kind and sweet. If she despised me, she would have started being mean to me by now, and if she intended to harm me, she could have easily done so by no
