Chapter: Chapter 00045Vera's POVPhil had called for another meeting at the pack hall. I could quite guess what it was all about already—what he was going to talk about at the meeting—but what I couldn't pinpoint was the look on his face. So stiff, unreadable.I wish I had talked to him first before he called for everyone, to know what this was all about exactly. It was likely about Drew or the upcoming war. Lucy and the maid Carol were the last people to walk into the hall before Phil began to talk.“I shall begin by asking if anyone here isn't aware of Drew's death,” he stated, darting his gaze around the room. Phil saw that no one was unaware of Drew's death and moved forward to whisper something in his beta’s ear. His beta left the room for a moment and returned with a familiar man.I had seen the bald-headed man a couple of times in the pack and sometimes I had wanted to ask Phil who he was, but somehow it always skipped my mind.“This is Mr. Ross, my physician,” Phil introduced the man to us. “And he

Chapter: Chapter 00044Lucy's POVLast night with Phil was great. I had woken up just before he caught me staring at him while he slept.“Good morning,” I said, irritated that he had just risen from bed and hadn’t bothered to say good morning to me. I was naked on his bed, the bed sheets covering me from my chest to my toes.“Oh, sorry. It kind of skipped my mind. Maybe it wouldn’t have, if I hadn’t caught you watching me while I slept.”“And what’s so wrong with that? I mean, you looked so cute when you were sleeping. I couldn’t resist.” I rose, back against the headboard, as I sized him up from head to toe.“It’s creepy, Lucy.”My brows furrowed. “What?”He grabbed a shirt from his cupboard. “Stop acting like we are still lovebirds. All that ended a year ago.”I chuckled. “I see what’s going on here,” I said, wrapping the blankets around me as I walked up to him where he was changing his clothes. He was halfway through putting on the tight-fitting top. I gently placed my hands on his chest, taking over. H

Chapter: Chapter 00043Vera's POVI couldn’t contend with the jealousy in me; I couldn’t let it all out either. It felt difficult being around Phil now that his ex-mate, Lucy, was back in his life. And it felt worse that she was his breeder. After dinner, Phil called out to me before I could walk up to my bedroom.“Are you okay?” he asked me.Lucy's voice cut through our pending conversation. “Don't keep me waiting, Phil,” she said, making it obvious that she and Phil had a private thing to do. She strode away. It was killing me, and I wasn’t fine. I didn’t want to be selfish—Phil needed an heir, and it was what I couldn’t give him.I wrinkled my eyes. “Why shouldn't I be?”He watched me as if trying to read my mind through my eyes. He nudged his head over to his bedroom, indicating that I could be worried about him and Lucy. Of course, I was, but I would never show it.“You need an heir, Phil. I understand,” I assured him. But he wasn’t convinced.“Goodnight,” I said to him, and with that, I left. I could

Chapter: Chapter 00042Phil's POVI was reminded of Drew again the moment I saw his mate, Claudia. The guilt intensified in my heart, the guilt of having Drew locked up before he died. Just as I walked back to my bedroom, my beta followed behind me.“Have you given her a room?” I asked, without looking back at him.“Yes.” My beta replied.Giving her a room wasn't going to change the fact that I was part of the reason her mate died. And it was quite surreal that she didn't blame me for his death.I turned around before entering my office. “Bring in the gamma that guarded Drew’s dungeon.” I instructed my betaand he left immediately.“Phil.” I heard Lucy call out to me. She walked angrily towards me and I knew why she was here. “Now is not the time Lucy.”“I know. You never really have my time anymore. I'm just here to ask who the lady is.”“She's Drew's mate. And she will only be staying here just for tonight. Don't cause a scene.”She scoffed, blinking her eyes. “Why the hell would I cause a scene? I don't e

Chapter: Chapter 00041Vera's POVThe moment the sun rose, I visited the training field again. I couldn't remember the last time I did some stretches and held a weapon. The training field was different, it felt different without Drew.His presence still hovered around even though he was gone. He was also quickly replaced by another man, another trainer employed by Phil. I guess the pack couldn't be left without a trainer.I trained on my own, away from the rest of the people on the field. I loved the early morning solitude and how the breeze found its way into my hair every time I threw a punch in the air.It was easy to hit the air with punches, there are no retaliations, just easy hits but then battling with someone, I have actually never tried it. Apparently, the need for that would come soon, with the upcoming war, it'd be necessary to train myself so as to defend myself when that time comes.As I punched and kicked the air multiple times, a voice echoed behind me. “Can you save that energy for a real f

Chapter: Chapter 00040Lucy's POV“Argh!!!” Immediately I entered my bedroom. I let out my anger, throwing everything I came in contact with, to the ground. The thought that Phil kept choosing Vera over me, over and over again, was outrageous.How else could I get to him if Vera was someone he'd do anything for, even having the instinct to kill me? I touched my neck, and it was as if his hands were still strangling it.Vera had to go. That was the only solution.My door creaked open, it was carol. Her eyes glared around the disarranged room. She looked up at me. “Are you okay, madam Lucy.” she asked, still looking at everything I had thrown on the floor.I sighed, brushing my hair backward, “What do you think, Carol?”She stood there, speechless. “I'll get this cleaned up.” She says.I called her back before she could leave the room. “Do you still have the remnant of the wolfsbane potion?” I asked. She shakes her head. “Did you use all of it?”She shakes her head again.“Bitch, one more head shake… can't yo
