Cynthia woke up with a slap. She was in shock. She woke up confused by the pain on her face. Her vision was blurred, but then she saw Sebastien fuming angrily. She looked around, noticed the soft morning sunlight partially lighting the room, and looked at Sebastien, confused."Why?" She asked him, on the verge of tears."You do not know who you are fucking with, Cynthia," He said and began to pace about the room." Why can't you be loyal? Why can't you be faithful?" he asked her, his eyes red and filled with tears."You have hurt me so many times, Cynthia. Ethan dodged a bullet when you left him," He said, still pacing the room."You cheated on me twice, then tried to fuck my brother for power. I still forgave you and remained with you. I do not understand why, but I have been a fool for you, Cynthia," He said, running his fingers through his hair."You turned me into a monster. I have never hit a woman in my life. It started with you. If I do not hit you, you won't behave. Now even h
After breakfast, Ethan and Meadow got ready to visit the hospital. Victoria joined them, and they left in a van. Ethan hoped he would soon ride with his wife in a car with him behind the steering wheel. He knew that option was open to him even though his legs weren't working, but he would prefer to drive a car where he could use his legs. The van would have to do for now.Victoria sat quietly in the van with Meadow. There was nothing to be happy about; their pack had been taken over by a packless Alpha, and it was a matter of time before they found out what the new owners had in store for them. She was with Meadow to offer moral support because she knew her friend would need it. The change would affect Meadow most because of her condition, and Victoria feared the situation might overcome her friend.Meadow had not shared her progress with Victoria, and she wasn't planning to do so for now, so the sign language will have to do. It wasn't that Meadow did not trust Victoria, but the
Levi and Joseph arrived at the mansion and saw a multitude of warriors, some in wolf form and others in human form. They looked aggressive. Levi was surprised, but Joseph wasn't. Joseph alighted the car at the gate along with Levi and walked into the compound.There were growls and snarls, and as the two of them approached, they realised that the intruders had rounded up all the workers in the house outside on their knees with silver bracelets. It was clear that they wouldn't be taking chances. Even the warriors Ethan returned with were also on their knees.Surrendering was the five warriors' best option because there was no way they could take the multitude that Cynthia came with. Some of which were their old colleagues. Cynthia watched Joseph and Levi approach, and her wolf Medley was a bit intimidated, but she masked it."And so you grace us with your presence, Alpha. I thought the cripple would be joining you," she said, referring to Ethan, and Joseph growled at her but then c
Levi remained on his knees on the ground. Everything Joseph said to him replayed in his mind, and he was angry. "You better follow your Luna, Levi," Ethan said to him, disgusted by him, and Levi looked at both Ethan and Joseph."I carried you two when you were born. I raised you two with Cain and was there to fill that void when he was no more. I protected the three of you and never let you miss the absence of a father, and Amber missed the absence of her mate. I took care of everything Cain left you and handed it over when the time came. Never did I ask for payment. I did it all out of love. I did it because Cain was the brother I never had. I gave up on my life to fill his shoes, and this is how you repay me.Had Cynthia offered any of your friends the Alpha position, would you have thought so low of them? Had she offered either of you the position, would you have thought so lowly of each other? This Alpha, whoever he may be, understands how you think, so he picked the easy target
"Luna Meadow, may I speak with you for a moment, please," Doctor Rosenberg said to Meadow in Amber's hospital room, sitting beside Victoria and watching over the Luna, and she nodded."Yes, you can," she linked him, knowing it would be okay for him to know of her progress since he had proven his loyalty to the McClouds.Dr Rosenberg was so surprised that it seemed his eyes were going to pop out of their sockets. He knew then that Camila had made some progress with their young Luna."It's still a secret no one knows, but I know I can trust you," She linked him, and the doctor composed himself immediately."I will like you to view some documents in my office, Luna. I am sure you can write whatever you want to tell me. Unfortunately, what I need to show you is highly confidential, so your friend would not be permitted," He said quickly. Victoria smiled at Meadow and the doctor to let them know it was okay."I will watch over Luna. You can go do Luna stuff," Victoria said jovially to Meado
"May I speak freely, Alpha," She requested Ethan's permission, and he nodded."I will not take offence. Yes, you may," Ethan replied assuringly, and she swallowed, took a deep breath and exhaled before she could continue."There are certain things money can't buy, Alpha, and love and companionship are some of those things. You can pay people to stay with you, but they will never be companions like people that choose to be with you. I have been silent for many years now; not because I wanted to but because I was in a fight I could not win. I am a nobody; I am sure you know that by now, so I could be easily trampled on. Levi was all I had. I loved him with all my heart. There was nothing he would ask of me that I wouldn't have done for him. My love ran that deep.He was supposed to be my happy ending, but then Alpha Cain died, and he started spending time with his grieving widow and her sons. People warned me that she would entice him with money and power. She had it all to give, bu
Agnes was shocked by the decisions the brothers made. She wasn't expecting that they would decide that quickly; she also wasn't expecting Levi would come clean. She looked at Levi with tears, and her mouth quivered."I loved you with all my heart, and you know it. To leave me for a woman that treated you like shit and made you compete with a dead man is wrong and cruel, Levi. She will never love you like I will. She will never give you what you want. You want a home, but Amber will never give you that. She has nothing to offer because she gave it all to Cain," she said, tears streaming down her face.Levi looked at Amber, where she lay peacefully on the hospital bed, then at Agnes."Amber gave me everything and much more, Agnes. I was never competing with Cain where she was concerned. I have a family and two wonderful men I am proud to say I helped raise. I might not be their biological father, and they might not bear my last name, but they are still my sons, regardless. You know what
Levi was reluctant to go to Amber's office and report to the new luna of Whitewood, but he knew he needed to divert Cynthia's attention from their plans. He would rather be in the hospital with Amber. Unfortunately for him, they had a plan, and he needed to follow through.Getting to Amber's office, Levi knocked on the door, and Cynthia's voice came through, permitting him to enter the office. Levi opened the door and found the so-called Luna sitting on the couch in the office. Cynthia looked at him and smiled."Alpha Levi, welcome," she said, pointing at the visitor's chair in front of the desk. "Turn it around and face me, Alpha," She ordered, unwilling to sit behind the desk.Levi did as she requested and looked at her, awaiting his orders."Congratulations," She said, and he could not smile. There was nothing to be grateful for; even if she couldn't see it, he knew it."By now, you are done with the McClouds. See how quickly they turned on you. So much for putting family first. T
