Rakari's POV
I stood up from the bed and pulled him up before we both walked out of the room and went down into the kitchen where we saw Darius, Sadie, Neil, my mum and dad, Mrs Prescott and surprise surprise, Francesca.I walked up to Darius and wrapped my arms around his waist and he turned around and lightly pressed his lips against mine,"Finally"I smiled against his lips before i pulled away,"Miss me?""You have no idea""I was only gone for 10 minutes"He leant his forehead against mine,"And those felt like the longest 10 minutes of my life"I smiled and was about to lean up and kiss him when a cough stopped us from doing so,"Yeah, we are still here you know"We smiled and i gave him a peck on the lips before i moved away from him and went to stand next to my mum who was sitting down in one of the chairs near the table,"So, what were you talking about?""Sharise"My breath got caught in my throat as my eyes startMarcus' POV I knew that getting Rakari back was going to be a challenge and I knew that I had to plan everything out carefully before I even decide to go and get her but the question is, how do I do it? "Alpha?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up to see Adam, "Yes?" "Vinny wants to start the training now" "Right now?" He nodded and I groaned before I stood up and started to follow him outside towards the garden where all of my pack fighters were waiting, "Alpha" Everyone said at the same time while they lifted their heads and I turned to face Vinny, "How do you want to do this then?" "How fit are they?" "Fit enough" "Fit enough to beat this Darius you're talking about?" "No, that is obviously why I called you" I said with a hint of anger and he held up his hands in surrender, "Calm down, I'm here to help you" I nodded and took a few deep breaths before I turned to my pack, "Wolf on wolf combat!" "No!" I turned to Vinny confused, "What do you mean no?" "I wou
Marcus' POVI was sitting in my meeting room just looking over everyone in the room, keeping my expression blank. If I wanted this plan to work, I knew that I couldn't have anyone weak in my pack, they bring everyone else down which is why if I see anyone who looks weak, I will banish them, I don't really care if they haven't done anything to me personally, just the fact that their bringing the rest if my team down, is enough for me to banish them for good,"Alpha, are you okay?"I looked over at Steven and narrowed my eyes,"Did you really just ask. That question? I am the alpha, of course I'm okay!"He looked down,"Sorry alpha"I sighed and ran my hands through my hair in frustration,"Does everyone know about the plan?"The room nodded,"Yes alpha""Has everyone met Sharise?"Only a few people nodded their head so I nodded towards the doorman who opened the door to let Sharise in,"Hello Sharise"She bowed her head to me, "Hello alpha Marcus""Take a seat"She nodded and went to
Darius’ POVYou would’ve thought that by now I would’ve got tired of watching Rakari sleep but nope, she’s just too beautiful and I feel like I have to watch her to make sure that what I’m seeing is real and that I was truly given an angel for a mate,“I’m not an angel Darius”She turned to face me with a smile on her face and I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly,“Sorry”She looked at me confused and sat up,“Why are you apologising? You didn’t do anything wrong”“I know, it just felt like the right moment to say it”“You’re so weird”She leaned forward and gave me a peck on the lips,“But that’s what I love about you… and your hot body”I laughed,“Figured”She moved over so that she was now straddling me and she started running her fingers through my hair which just made my wolf purr,“What do you wanna do today?”“Stay in bed and show you how much I love you”She hit my chest playfully,“I think you’ve shown me enough”I chuckled,“Nah, I still don’t think I’ve shown you proper
Sharise’s POVWell, that was much easier than I thought it would be. I can’t believe that Darius was that gullible to believe the fact that alpha Marcus just let me go like that and not to go after him, I almost laughed right then and there at how naïve he was.I don’t actually want to hurt Rakari and I know I will because once Darius is dealt with, Rakari will probably be devastated, actually no, there’s no probably about it, she will be devastated but if I’m honest, that’s not going to stop me from teaching Darius a lesson because quite frankly, it needs to be done, he needs to be knocked off of his high horse, alpha or not,"Sharise?"I sat up from my bed to see Darius and I nearly growled at him but I pushed my wolf down and bowed my head to him. Even though he's no longer my alpha, I still need to pretend that he is so that he won't get suspicious,"Alpha"I saw him walk over at sit on my bed from the corner of my eye so I took that as my cue to lift my head,"I want to ask you s
Rakari's POVIf I had to describe this dinner in one word it would simply be: awkward. I don't think I've ever had dinner where people are actually afraid to talk either because they're afraid that they'll upset Sharise with the words that they say or because their scared that they might get on the wrong side of Darius. I decided to send Darius a mind message of what I felt'Honestly, this is so awkward; I don't know what to say!He chuckled under his breath, 'And you think I would know?'If you love me, you'll break the tensionI smirked at him and he shook his head slightly before speaking up and I internally did a happy dance at how easy it was to get him to do as I asked, I don't know why I haven't tried that before"I'm thinking of having a pack partyEveryone looked at Darius,"Why?""Well, mainly to welcome Sharise back to the pack but also because I feel like I'm not connected enough to my pack members".I smiled,"That's sweet".He smiled,"Thanks, don't think you're getting
Darius’ POVI walked into mine and Rakari’s room and walked over to the bed so that I could wake her up; a task which I knew wasn’t going to be easy so I need to play this tactfully,"Rakari?”She groaned and just rolled over to her other side so I sat down on the bed next to her and placed my hand on her waist so that I could gently shake her awake,"Rakari, baby, it’s time to wake up”“No, 5 more minutes”I chuckled and moved a strand of hair from her face which didn’t go down well with her because she just turned around to punch me but with my quick reflexes, I ducked before her fist actually hit me,“I swear to God Darius, if you don’t move away from me right now, I’ll be sure to hit you next time” She said in a sleepy voice before pulling the covers up over her head even more,“Come on baby”She moved her hand out from under the covers and flipped me off before putting it back and I just chuckled at how she generally hates being woken up in the morning, or any time for that matte
Darius' POV She looked at me confused but nodded anyway and she followed me into the house and into my study where I closed the door and locked it,“Me and my wolf are not happy right now”“And why is that?”“You undermined me as an alpha just then, I was trying to explain to her why I didn’t give her numbers and you hit me across the head like a dog that had disobeyed it’s owner”“You disrespected your own mother, you think I was going to stand by and let you talk to her like that?”“I was in alpha mode Rakari! You can’t just hit me when I’m in alpha mode! Did you think me and my wolf would be overjoyed at the fact that you practically shamed us in front of nearly the whole pack?!”She narrowed her eyes at me, “Don’t you dare raise your voice to me Darius, I told you once before that if you ever raised your voice to me again, you’d regret it, try and talk to me in that tone of voice again and see what happens”I sighed and ran my hands through my ha
Darius's POV Everyone looked down to the ground but I wasn’t finished yet,“The party will continue as planned and it will go smoothly no matter what the case may be but I swear to God and trust me when I say this, if anything else like this or along the lines of this happens again or even comes close to it, every single fucking person will be punished, have I made myself clear?!!”Everyone nodded, “Yes alpha Darius”I scanned over everyone, “Proceed as before but remember my words”“Yes alpha”I turned on my heels and walked back into the pack house fuming. I just can’t believe what happened, the fact that they had the audacity to cause an argument even if they started it or not is not how I brought my pack to the top.I walked into the study and put in the book code so that I could walk into the meeting room and I walked straight towards the war plans, if Marcus thinks I am going to let him get away with everything he has done, he can think again,
