Ella’s POVMy heart was bleeding as I stared into their faces, and the myriads of emotions that swam within them tore me further. Selena had a long look that made clear that she was only waiting for an opportunity to switch positions.Michael, on the other hand, dared to carry sagged eyes with wobbly lips as if he was broken. I knew they were all liars even before the incident with David. I found out that Michael was only trying to help me because he wanted money and the power that came with it.But Andrew. I never thought in a million years that he would betray me like this. He was always so kind when everyone had agendas. I never knew that he was the mastermind.My eyes moved over their faces once more to people who didn’t know what was happening, they looked innocent. They looked like the perfect family that couldn’t wait to have their child back. But it was all fake, yet they did it so perfectly, especially Andrew…Ryker had told me to ignore them and let him handle them, but I co

Michael’s POVMy brain was working at an impossible speed. I was trying hard to think of a quick way out of this.We couldn’t kill Ella. It meant she was going to return to lay claim on her inheritance, and then there was Andrew —it was a good thing that Ella thought he worked with us. But this couldn’t last for long.It was only a matter of time before she realized that her father was never her enemy. And when this happened, I was going to go down the drain with David and Selena. I couldn’t let this happen.As I drove across the roads back to Crystal Pack, I ignored the two women in the car with me. Their conversation was baseless. They were worried about Ella’s new attitude when they should have been thinking of ways to vindicate themselves.For Willow, it was a lot easier for her to just beg for forgiveness and get it. All she had to do was pretend to be remorseful, and Ryker might even take her back, for I could see it in his eyes that he still cared about her wellbeing at least.

Michael’s POVI got up from the throne and walked to where my mother was with a grin on my face. I could feel their pale stares and shocked assembles staring down at me in disbelief, and it fueled my victorious walk.“How?” David whispered, the shock dripping out of him in buckets.I got to my mother and passed a hand across her shoulders. “Emily, here is my mother. Why is that so hard to believe?”“But Aunt Emily…” Selena started and then stopped to turn to her father. “You said you made sure that she wouldn’t have any children of her own… How is this possible?”David’s eyes expanded, and he started shaking his head. “No, this can’t be possible.” He got to his feet and walked to the council members who were present. “This is a trick to steal the throne from the ruling family. And you know what happens when a bastard sits on the crystal pack throne! Stop this madness you are about to do at once!”“David, you don’t have to fear. Michael is my son,” my mother said from beside me, and

Ella’s POV“Are you sure about this dress?” I asked as Esther swayed it before me. She nodded her head and flashed me a smile. Then she placed it on the bed and walked to the dresser where the line of beauty products sat. “I am not sure about the dress,” she said, and I frowned. “But I would be once it’s on you. Come on, get up. We don’t want to keep the Alpha waiting…” she urged.I moved from my position at the bathroom door and joined her at the vanity table. She prepped my skin, my hair, and my face. Dusting and blotting products till I was certain I looked like a clown.“don’t worry, as soon as you see yourself, you are going to be blown away!” she giggled but I could only glare at her.She got a sick idea to cover the dressing mirror for the duration of her work. I had no choice but to imagine the products she was placing on my face, turning me into a clown with the barely there dress she had on the bed. I was surely going to fit the role.“I am done with your face, now. let’s m

Ella’s POVI couldn’t help the smile on my face even as Anna and Esther continued talking about the latest gossip in the Pack. I was lost in a world that only Ryker had taken me, twice now.The first time was in that mansion at the border when he was too intoxicated but this time, he knew just what he was doing, and it felt just as great. A shiver went through me and the pressure between my legs increased. Ryker was doing something to me, and he wasn’t even here.My lips went into my mouth, and I tried to stay in control, but it felt like his fingers were still moving over me. I couldn’t push the feeling away.“Ella.”“Earth to Ella!” Esther snapped and I blinked out of my dreamland.“Huh?”“Are you even listening to us?” Anna asked and I nodded, as I hopelessly tried to remember the last thing, they spoke of but all I could remember were Ryker touches on my body.My cheeks turned hot, and I had to shake my head to get a hold of myself. “I am sorry, I got lost somewhere, what were yo
