POV: HeatherLeon told us all that transpired while we were away. It turns out that the Alphas are not even trying to deny their increments with the rogues because the truth is out in the open. If they tried to deny it, then there would be many questions about the mines and they will not be able to answer those. So they decided to go with the lies that Vinnie had already told the king about me in her secret reports that she had been sending to him for a while now.I think she started sending reports back home the moment they got here and she has been telling the king about Xander and I, making me look like a bitch. No, she made me look worse than a bitch because she told everyone that I hypnotized him and made him fall in love with me. The King believed her because he believed that was the only way I could get his son to fall in love with me. I have no idea how she met with the Alphas and decided to cook up this plan against me,Wait,Hold on a minute…You know, now that I think about

POV: XanderI was walking around town like a freaking lunatic, threatening people and even promising some a reward if only they could speak the truth and save Heather and I from this humiliation. But they wouldn’t budge, I couldn’t find anyone that is willing to speak up for her, not even one person agreed to go against the Alpha. I’m forced to think that maybe he is not just paying them to keep shut, maybe he is threatening them with something more precious than wealth, maybe he is threatening their families and forcing them to keep shut.I found a few students and I promised to get them into the lycan college to finish schooling in case they are not treated fairly after exposing their Alpha. But they wouldn’t say a word to me, the Alpha's influence on them was just too intense. He intimidates and threatens them, forcing them to keep mute.I drove back to the mines to gather some evidence that the rogues were mining right under the Alpha's nose and he didn’t say or do anything about

POV: Heather“What do you need to tell me, why do you need me?” Xander asked us, staring at me fixedly and waiting for the response. I turned to Alexia and she looked as pale as a ghost, wondering what I was going to say to Xander.“Your heart is beating so fast, Butterfly, what is wrong?” He asked through our mind link. He followed my gaze and glared at Alexia, making her go paler, if that was even possible.“What are you two up to?” He asked fiercely this time, glaring at Alexia, ignoring me. I could tell that she would not be able to hold back anymore, his stern gaze was too intimidating for her to resist for much longer. I had to act fast before she ruined it for me, I can’t afford to mess this up, not now. If Xander hadn’t walked in on us, I was going to tell her how I planned to tell him some part of the truth just to make him believe me. If I told him everything, he would freak out on me and probably call me a liar. I have already come up with a plan and a perfect story to back

POV: HeatherI struggled to get my bearings while trying not to swallow too much water. I could not do it alone because Vinnie was using her supernatural powers to hold me under the water. I had to summon Aurora for help, and I shifted under the water. As my wolf emerged and made me bigger, I felt my foot touching the floor of the pool and I was able to get my bearing and I kneed her in the stomach, taking her off-guard. She lost her footing and nearly fell down in the pool as well. That gave me the opportunity to get out of her stronghold and grab her by the hair, dipping her into the pool like she just did to me. We both struggled to overpower each other, as the waters and the slippery floor kept taking us off balance and tripping us.We kept on struggling with each other, throwing punches and kicks, clawing at each other mercilessly until we both had bruises on our faces and bodies. Finally, I was able to tackle her underwater once more, and I stood firm on the slippery floor, hold

POV: Heather“Oh, it’s just Alexia,” I responded with a smile, turning off my phone and keeping it can’t on the bedside drawer. I walked over to him and wrapped my hands around his neck, smiling excitedly.“We had plans for today, won’t just have to cancel our initial plans and tell her where we are going.” I lied through my teeth, hoping he didn’t suspect anything. I steadied my heartbeat, leaning to kiss his lips and cheeks as a distraction.“You know I could have just mind linked them and saved you the stress, right?” he asked me, corking an eyebrow in question.“Yes, I know that. But telling her myself is much fun because I’m so excited, Xan. Thank you for agreeing to do this with me.” I told him, to try to take his mind off my earlier actions. He smiled and kissed me fully on the lips, savoring the moment. Then he squeezed my ass playfully, making me giggle excitedly as we both turned to get our clothes from separate wardrobes. I smiled within me as I realized that I’d fooled him
