ALLEN'S POV I was not angry at all with Xander but this time I had decided that I would be showing reactions for how he had treated me the other day. If I had been angry, perhaps I might not have gone ahead to do my patrol which led to catching the enemy. I merely was trying to make him understand and feel just what it was like to be pushed and trapped in the corner and not being trusted by your own best friend. His reaction by suddenly establishing the fact that he was my Alpha the other day was far more painful than it was embarrassing. I had brought in the prisoner and had him securely chained up with silver bindings around his feet. That was definitely going to keep him down and weak. I never left his side as I kept observing him. He actually had nerves that could make one want to kill him instantly as he continued referring to me as Xander's lap dog. He made fun of me by saying that Betas were only there to clean up after their relative Alphas and knowing that was near to bei

ALLEN'S POV "Hey, buddy." I said to Xander as I came inside and took a spare seat just right after Nicolette. Laurel was opposite us both and Xander was right there at the head of the table."Keys?" He demanded."Funny enough that you would ask for keys first. What if something had happened to me, wouldn't you at least inquire about me?" I shot at him just to do a little bit of guilt tripping."Well, you are here now and whole. So, my keys." He stated with a mischievous glance. "What's the difference between death and now?" I muttered as I searched through my pocket and then threw his keys at him. It was not my intention but it landed directly in his soup causing it to splash at his face."Oops." I muttered."That certainly was intentional." Xander said to me."No, it was not and you know it." I said to him,"Lair." He said wiping his face as he called the maids to take the soup away and get him another while they served mine too. I decided not to argue but simply turned to Nicol

ETHAN'S POV "So you think they'll fall for it?" I asked the person on the other end of the line."Absolutely. They already fell for it but I just need to be certain that he does not know I have any part in this." The voice from the end responded."Of course not, you my dear, happens to be my secret weapon and I would never let anyone near you." I reassured."Very well then, I must return to base now and keep things at a low profile. I cannot have them suspect anything." The voice said."Um... one little thing I must ask of you, if he shows signs of growing weak and tries to make a confession, find a way to put an end to him." I said with so much authority."Of course." Came the response and the little beep told me that our call was ended.Things had begun going my way and as planned which was something really good to think about. I made my way to the little bar in my sitting room corner and grabbed myself a bottle of scotch. It was really great how things were actually beginning to

LAUREL'S POV I understand that it might be looking that I was desperate but then, why hide the fact that I actually was desperate. I had been basically indoors nearly all day after I noticed that Xander was not around and Nicolette had decided to stay in the kitchen fixing all meals. It was her stressors getting overworked and not mine as I reckoned that the maids were not assisting her as they had with me. She was all alone in the kitchen but I was not planning on going to offer her help. The previous day after staying in that kitchen, I had noticed that it was probably the heat but there were dark patches on my face. I had been on an exfoliating mask for a longer part of my night and made certain that I had applied every last bit of my beauty care products to my face. I could not have myself looking anything dull. Hence, when I had woken up and found out that she was in the kitchen, I remained in my bedroom and only came out the first time during breakfast which she had ma

NICOLETTE'S POV"You are the worst best friend to roam the earth's surface." I teased Zibelle. Sad enough, my best friend was out there having herself a quiet life while I sat down here in a crazy house I am now sharing with my dear husband's mate. How pathetically stupid it sounded. I had managed to push through dinner without making an actual scene especially with how Laurel kept seeking out ways to grit my nerves. I was really pissed, prompting my response to her. She deserved everything and more which I had displayed during dinner and I most certainly could go on and on. The lady clearly had no shame or conscience with how she was behaving like she had some claim to my husband. She might have had it before but certainly not now.After dinner, I bade Allen a good night and made for the safety of my bedroom as I could not bring myself to see her face anymore. All she had been doing from the point of her arrival had been set on getting me prickled and I was just not in for her dram
