Lucas’s povI stood in front of the mirror, going over the speech that I would make, when my door opened with Callum walking in.I turned to him and smiled. “Great, you’re here. Maybe you can help me with this speech.”“We need to talk.”I sighed and turned to him. “What do you want us to talk about?”“This whole issue with the new lady in our midst and the issue of you threatening Dax. You know… the elders don’t know the full story. If they do, all hell will break loose. They will see you as a dictator and not a leader.”“All I did was put him in his place. That was it. Why are you so fixated on making me the bad guy?”“I’m not. Your actions are outing you like one. Alpha… rethink whatever you called this dinner party for. I’m begging you. Before things would get out of hand.”His words were getting to me but my mind was already made up. I had finally found my Luna. My mate. I wasn’t going to shut my feelings down because he wasn’t going to be patient.“You’re acting like I don’t ask

Penelope’s povI found how they arranged themselves to be poetic, to say the least. The men and women, some stayed in different corners, some stayed together. Then the children were in one corner and teenagers in another. Old women, men, married couples, in different corners. And then I could see warriors in different seats.It was filled with a lot, and in a different row that was colored a different color, they had elders there with people that I knew were healers. The beta was seated at the head but the alpha was missing.He looked around with a worried look on his face before getting up and walking out.He was the only one I knew in this goddamn place and now he was gone. Fuck.I looked for a seat that was at the edge and sat down as I was biding my time. There was no need for me to join them yet. I was still a stranger, plus I was trying to avoid anybody insulting me or talking to me like I was made of trash.I sat there, tapping my fingers on the table in an unnerving manner wh

Penelope’s povI dressed up with the clothes given to me from the maids who said it was from Lucas. I stood before the mirror and make sure that I looked okay. The bruises that I had taken earlier, we are on my arm, and I tried to cover it up with the sleeves of my gown, but it wasn’t working. With a sigh, I let it go.There was no need beating myself about something that I couldn’t change in the first place. All I could do was hope nobody would ask me questions like, “Where did you get the bruises?” and “Who gave you the bruises?” and all of that rubbish questions.It didn’t take long before a knock came on my door as I turned to it and the maid entered inside. She saw me and I couldn’t read what her face was giving. I didn’t know if she was happy or sad. I just knew that her face was showing me a lot of emotions and they were unreadable.“Hello,” I said to her.She stared at me for a while before breaking the ice.“Dinner is going to be ready in the next ten minutes.”As I nodded,

Penelope’s povWe soon got to the pack as the Alpha took me into the room that had been prepared for me. This was the second time I was getting into this room, and it still looked as amazing as the first time that I had seen it. It was still big, still exotic, and expensive.I slowly walked to a table to look at the drawings there and the exotic pens and notes. I turned to see Lucas and Callum still there as the Alpha then turned to Callum and the rest of the maids.“You all should leave,” he said. “I’d like to be alone with her.”Callum nodded and ushered others out of the room as it was just us.Lucas then turned to me. “Are you… okay?”I had no idea what to say.“I don’t know.” Was my response.“How about we just say you’re okay?”I wanted to laugh at his words.“You call this being okay? With what you did to Dax, I’m already scared out of my life.”“Dax is not going to hurt you.”I scoffed. “Easy for you to say. All of this doesn’t matter to you. You could easily walk away from al

Dax’s pov“You think this is over? You are worthless,” I said to her. “I will make sure that you regret this.” Then I turned to Lucas. “And you… go as far away as you can. Take her with you. Bit I won’t rest until she is by my side. I will make sure you regret today alpha. Trust me on that. I will destroy you.”He smiled. It was a dark one, and I gulped.“Was that a threat I hear?” he said.I shook my head. “I don’t threaten people. I promise them what I will do. And right now, you have stepped in my way and taken my mate… my Luna. You have crossed the boundary, Alpha. And that is something that you will never recover from.”I saw a look of uncertainty cross his face for a second before it was removed, and the cold face took over as he smiled.“I’ll see you in the monthly meeting,” he said, gesturing to his men to follow him as he walked out of the hospital with them.I watched him leave, and when their car left, I sighed and felt his aura hold on me and my men disappear. I slowly got

Dax’s povI nodded. “I am a very careful wolf. And I don’t trust easily. Someone told me that some kind of complication might occur, so I decided to be ready.”He stepped closer to me as my beta tried to get closer, but I held my hand to stop him.“If Callum wanted me dead, I’d be dead,” I said to my beta. Then I turned to Callum. “Please we don’t have to fight. You will destroy me and every single soul here without breaking a sweat. I just want what is mine, and I’ll be out of your hair.”He stared at me for a very long time, then looked behind me as he gave a sly smile.“I don’t like what you did to the lady inside there.”I scoffed. “She’s not your problem, Callum. Focus on your jurisdiction. She’s mine. She’s my mate and my Luna, and you are just crossing boundaries at this point. So, if you can, step out of the way. Let me get in there and take what rightfully belongs to me.”He stared at me for a while… then smiled. “Fine, knock yourself out.”But before I could step forward, th
