ROSALINE’S POV:"Well, this is a pleasant surprise,” I said, a smirk on my face as my eyes fell on the person I had expected to see here.Brenda.She had a smile that stretched to her ears, and I can only imagine the mischievous things that were going through her mind. She wore a pair of white bum shorts, a baggy black tee shirt, and sneakers. Her eyes were shielded by a pair of dark sunglasses, and her hair had been tied up into a bun.I walk up to her and wrap my arms around her. Our hug is brief yet warm. When I step away from her, I ask, “To what do I owe this unexpected visit?” I ask, and she raises a brow. Why was she acting surprised by my question? It was not like we had talked about her visiting the last time we saw her. But now that I think about it, we did not exactly get the chance to say goodbye that night.But still, who comes to another person’s place unannounced and so early in the morning? Oh, that's right, Brenda. Damien and I were in bed together when Geoffrey knoc

ROSALINE’S POV:“How is this possible?"Alpha Xander shook his head, his face still buried in Gwen’s neck. We watched as his nose travelled up her neck and found its way to her hair. His inhale was heard, and I knew that he missed her greatly from the way he held her, like she was the most valuable thing in the world he would protect with his life. I watched his eyes turn back to normal, and it only made my theory right.Gwen was his mate.“I don’t know,” Xander whispered as he took a step away from a bewildered Gwen.“How long have you known that I was your mate?” Gwen asked, searching his eyes for the truth.Xander watched her with so much intensity that it affected even me. “From the very first night I met you, my wolf called you his but... I could not sense yours; that was when I knew you were human.”“And when were you going to tell me about this?” she asked, her eyes swirling with a thousand emotions. Alpha Xander bowed his head, and his silence was her answer. He was never goi

ROSALINE'S POV:I cannot continue to live like this.No, I cannot. I am going to lose my mind. At this rate, I might end up being taken to an asylum before we even get to the person behind all of this. Oh, who am I kidding? It was Magnus; I did not need any proof to know that it was him. Was this his plan, though? To drive me insane? Was that his way of getting revenge?I have been hearing and seeing things when I am alone. I see things when there is nothing, and I hear things when there is no one. At first, I thought I was just being paranoid, but now I am certain that I was losing my mind. I could not even find peace in my sleep anymore. Every time I close my eyes, I have a nightmare that I am being hunted or that Ariana or Damien are being killed. Then I wake up screaming in the middle of the night.Was this going to be my normal life? Is this how I am going to spend the rest of my days, in fear? Because of some bastards that just want to break me?“Stop it.”My thoughts are inter

ROSALINE’S POV: Today I woke up feeling lighter than usual. Last night was probably the best night that I have had in a long time. Everything was perfect, from the food to the drinks to the conversation to the games to the people. Everything was glamorous. We spent the night talking and getting to know each other better. Ariana and Jake were busy playing in their little world, but I did have occasional heart attacks when they got closer to the edge.There were a few power clashes between the alphas; they had pride when it came to the littlest of things, even when it came to passing the salt. I do not even want to go into details about that, but it was quite entertaining for us ladies. We spent the rest of the night dancing, which, if I must say, was my favourite part, even though Damien had most of his attention on Ariana and Jake dancing. I do not know how it was possible, but I think I fell in love with Damien all over again. It was strange.Something about last night was differen

DAMIEN’S POV: Anger. That was all I felt. It was all I could feel. I hated seeing her like this; I hated seeing her speak with so much hurt laced in that sweet voice of hers; I hated seeing tears stain her gorgeous face; and I hated feeling her emotions, only that they were amplified in me.Who the hell did this bastard think he was? Who does he think he is to place all these mind games on my wife? I have had it.“It’s Magnus; it has to be him,” she sighed, shaking her head. I scooped her into my arms and took her up to our room. Once I placed her on the bed, I locked the door and came to sit beside her.“Alpha Magnus?” I asked, and she nodded. “Why would he do all of this? I thought it all pointed down to your father.”“It has to be one of them; they hate me for what I have done to them, for disgracing them by running away with an illegitimate child,” she said, wiping her eyes away, and I nodded.“And which one of them exactly brought up the idea of aborting your pregnancy?"She fr
