Chapter: Chapter 33Selina's POV“Get her!” One growled and threw a knife.The knife went Tyler's way but Todd pushed him out of the way. The knife swooped past them and dropped on the floor.Get her? Did he mean me? That means they recognised me and knew I would come around today. Our plan must have leaked and they wanted to get rid of Mr Alfred and me.My rage soared. With my foot, I kicked up Zick's pistol that was on the floor. I plunged forward, picked the pistol amidst air and fired a warning shot on the wall.The attackers panicked, but one charged towards me blindly. I sidestepped, kicking his knee with brutal precision. He crashed to the floor with a thud.Before I could balance, the other one raised his switchblade and lunged toward Alfred.Fists landed like hammers as Dray tackled him.The one I pinned to the ground wanted to pull my foot to knock me down but I pinned him down and aimed my gun at him, my hand on the trigger.He fidgeted and I roared,“Who sent you!?”He remained silent and loo

Chapter: Chapter 32Selina's POV“Orley? That is the outskirts of the city!” Driver Fox exclaimed as he punched the address in the GPS navigator.“Yes. I'm searching for someone…”“They possibly live in the shack!” Fox exclaimed.“Seat tight, we are in for a long drive,” he muttered.“Yes, Orley is about a two hour drive,” Tyler and Todd supplied.I wanted to go discreetly but on second thought, I made Tyler join me. It would be good to have someone who recognises Mr Alfred around. Tyler had been my father's assistant for about seven years now so I was rest assured that he recognised Mr Alfred and Mr Alfred also recognised him.Tyler came with Todd and insisted that he go with us. Todd was a guard and mercenary from a private security company. Todd maintained that he wanted us to have an escort and he didn't want to bring our men in the security department since the mission was meant to be a secret.“We are only bringing in an old man. Dray and Zick are enough... we don't need escorts.” I protested.“Yes

Chapter: Chapter 31Selina's POV The night was a terrible one, I couldn't fall asleep. I turned, rolled and groaned on the bed as nightmares came in an endless cycle.Faces from the past – Max's molestations and assaults, Mrs Silver's maltreatment, Brian's betrayal, my father's cold and silent gaze, and then Travis’ painful cries when I hit his balls. They all turned into faceless images, tugging vehemently at my heart.When I had had enough, I screamed out loud and my eyes flung open. Slowly, I sat up on the bed, I didn't sleep a wink, and my body felt like a log of wood. I dragged myself to the mirror and gasped, there were dark circles under my eyes. It must have been as a result of accumulated stress.“I will fix this during the weekend… Right now, I had to prepare Travis' breakfast and prepare to resume work.”Tying up my hair, I rushed to the kitchen and began to cook. It was my special recipe. French toast with berries, creamy scrambled eggs. Fresh orange juice. Coffee, strong and black, just th

Chapter: Chapter 30Selina's POV The room was empty and I was standing alone. Do something you bitch! I yelled at myself and scampered around.Apology! Yes, I should shouldn't let him leave like that. I should apologize.“Wait!!” I screeched and pulled the door open. I ran after Travis but he didn't wait. He bolted out of the gates and vanished out of sight.Tears clouded my vision but I didn't stop. I ran until I reached the gates. I pulled the gates open and pressed forward but came to a screeching halt. I was just wearing a t-shirt with a pair of panties beneath. I was practically naked.There on my feet, I looked around, searching the dark but Travis was gone.I shut my eyes and wobbled back in dejectedly.My back crashed against the wall as tears burned in the corners of my eyes.“What the heck is wrong with me? Even if I wasn't ready, that was too impulsive, I shouldn't have done that,” I mumbled nervously as I pressed trembling fingers to my lips. Quiet and still, I tugged at the hem of my shi

Chapter: Chapter 29Travis' POVI smirked when I saw Selina walking in. Finally, she is here. Did she purposely return late to avoid me? A funny feeling run down my throat. I had never waited for any woman in my life. Whatever… tonight it is.I picked up the lingerie box and made way into the cold night.When I got to Selina's apartment, it was a blast. A blast of jazz music and a maniac laughter filled the air. The door was unlocked so didn't need the key card. I knocked but she didn't hear me. I walked in but she didn't know that I had entered.I chuckled as I made out her outline in the dim light.Unaware, glowing, half-dressed and gorgeous dead beautiful! Her hips moved in slow circles, hair tumbled down her back. Her shirt barely covered her thighs, and her bare feet padded softly across the floor. She danced with herself, flowing with the rhythm of the music.She took a sip from the wine glass held in her hand and chuckled to herself, completely lost in her world.I remained there, watching in

Chapter: Chapter 28Selina's POV“Let's go home,” I muttered drowsily into my phone and clicked it off. I had just spoken to Driver Fox to get ready for our departure.I dragged my weary body up and made my way back to the analysis room.“I am leaving,” I said to Andrew and Tyler who were still busy behind the screens.“I should walk you down to the parking lot,” Tyler offered and rose to his feet.“Do not bother. You have enough to deal with. My bodyguards are on standby.” I responded and walked away, but stopped.“Mr Alfred’s search should remain between the three of us,” I ordered, looking from Andrew to Tyler. Both of them nodded in affirmation and I left the floor. Dray and Zick joined me and together we walked down to the parking lot.“Wow! I thought we weren't going home tonight,” Driver Fox yawned as he saw us.“We should go and it's time to leave.” I said with finality, disregarding further arguments.Dray opened the door and after I had settled in, he sat beside me while Zick sat on the other

Saved by the Ruthless Alpha
It was a perilous time when the fittest survived. Alphas were usurped and Packs were overthrown by the powerful.
Vera was thrown into a conspiracy when her father, the beta of the Shifters Pack, was accused of treason. Her parents were killed and she was labelled a traitor's daughter. Everyone turned their backs against her. Her mate, the Alpha heir, rejected her and she was banished from the pack.
Resolute to prove her parents' innocence, she escaped from her killers only to fall into the hands of a ruthless Alpha, Alpha Joash.
She soon realized that he was her second chance mate but he was oblivious to it. In her state, she couldn't voice it out. Still at his mercy, she realized that all that she had believed were lies. She needed to save herself, prove herself and unknot her twisted fate.

Chapter: Soaring Together VeraWhen I came around, it was daytime. The sun seeped in through the blinds, lighting up the whole place.I looked at the strange room and bed then it all came back rushing. My mate saved the day and I was back in my pack. I was in the palace clinic. And I was treated.I didn't know how many days I had spent there, but I felt refreshed and energetic like never before.“You have come around,” Fred’s voice boomed and he walked in with a white lab coat and oversized glasses hanging on his nose “Nice to meet you. I am doctor Fred. Yuu sure have a long life!”“Get the hell out of here. Get my mate and get me some food. I am desperately hungry,” “Your wish is my command, Luna Vera,” he responded.The door flicked open and my mate walked in. Behind him were two maids. One with a try and a filled tea cup. The other was with a covered dish.Seeing them reminded me of my days of little beginnings. When I served tea in uniform and I was manipulated by forces that I didn't even recognise. It

Chapter: Back HomeIt's been two days since we laid Silas to rest. I was just returning from his side when Derrick rushed towards me.“Your Highness!” Derrick yelled and fell before. He looked disgruntled and apprehensive.“Your Highness! It is lady Vera!” He trembled. I wanted to disregard him as usual but his theatrics somehow got to me so I gave him an audience.“What is it about her? Do you know where she is? If she wants to talk, she knows the palace.“I am sorry your Highness. I didn't let her Ladyship out of my sight since she left the battlefield… She was in critical condition and had nowhere to go. Targon had been with her all along…“Traitors!” I yelled angrily.“Why are you telling me this now? I guess you need my help…”“Her Highness’ condition has worsened. Her wounds were not well treated. They festered and have become life threatening.“You bastard! Why are you just telling me this now? Where is she!? Lead the way!” I thundered and they made my horse ready.Derrick led the way and I was s

Chapter: I'm dying, let Joash know JoashI declared myself as the interim Alpha King and all packs that were under my father's rule answered to me. It's been two weeks of renovations and realignment. I released most of my father's prisoners who were unlawfully detained.I also dissolved his chain of concubines that were locked up in his quarters. I set them all free and they went their own ways. I had the remnant of my people relocated to the palace while we began to renovate the moonlight pack that was demolished.I clenched my fists when I remembered what Silas said my father would have done if I had died and Vera lived. What abomination!?Everything was falling into place except Vera. I felt her connection as she tried to link me up on Steve's occasions but I shut her out of my head. Until she decides to return on her own accord I wasn't going to entertain any discussion with her. It was a special day. The day I had set aside to lay Silas' body to rest. I wanted him to lay beside Pete but at the same time it felt

Chapter: A new DawnVeraMy body seemed to be shutting down and the closest place for me to hide was the Shifters pack. This time, I didn't give a damn about my connection with the pack. I stumbled in through one of its openings and threw myself on the floor. Blood trickled down different cuts on my body and I felt feverish. To cap it up, I began to hear some rustling in the bush just behind me.Whoever it was, I didn't care. I just laid sprawled on the floor, waiting for whatever was coming. I had resisted all along and I was tired.I laid there but nothing happened. I must have heard wrongly, I said to myself and put my mind at ease.I was beginning to doze off when I heard the sound of swords. Someone was coming to attack me while the other must have shown you to defend meWho could that be? Targon? Did beta Derrick send someone after me? I let it all go as I was too weak to think. Slowly, my eyes closed up and I drifted into slumber while the sound of combat continued in the background until it was

Chapter: The Price of Victory DerrickThere in my hideout, I watched all that transpired in the King's camp. How Silas was killed and how Alpha Joash took the advantage of the distraction to get his father.Silas death was a painful one, but it wasn't my place to cast blame. It was proper to say that he sacrificed himself for the course that he believed in. He wanted his father's demise. When I saw the opening, I fired a twin arrow that took the King down. I couldn't let him slip out of our fingers again. We have had enough. Vera was caught up in the whole saga and I couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. The guilt in her eyes after she realized what she had done was heart rendering. I hope she forgives herself and that her mate won't hold it against her. It was an understandable misconception.After the cruel King took his last breath, I and the two other men who were with me burst into the camp. We dealt mercilessly with the soldiers who were planning to strike back after their King's unexpected death.They

Chapter: Victory at last Joash A twin arrow flew past me and landed on my father's back. I recognised them immediately. They were arrows from my men. Derrick! I muttered and didn't bother to find him.I looked behind me and my gaze settled on Vera. With a cold glare in her eyes, she threw another dart. I tried to deflect it, but I missed. I stood there and watched helplessly as the poisoned dart flew past my father's arm, cutting through it.“Aha….” Father groaned and tumbled to the ground with Silas’ body still hanging in his arms. He turned over his shoulders and looked at me. A proud laughter escaped his lips with blood sipping out by the sides“ We are not different! You used me against my son and my son against me. I will haunt…”“I call you Father,” I said, swallowing hard.“I'm not your father! You bastard! A son can never kill his father!” He continued to blabber but I had regained myself. I picked up his sword and slashed him on the neck. Silas’ body tumbled out of his arms as he held his neck a

Chapter: Chapter 117Logan's POVI didn't mourn Jennifer's death but a deep sense of sadness fell over me. Perhaps, she meant something to me after all. Memories of the time we spent together as children flooded my mind every day, leaving me sick and sad.Her delusion and greed were her doom. Yes, we were playmates and we were friends because her father was my father's Beta. But that was all. I never saw her as a lover and I never made such inclinations towards her. Thinking back now, I realized that there were signs that she had fallen for me, she did not hide it, but I was too busy and insensitive to take notice.I was always away from the Packhouse and when I returned, I hardly saw her.Flashes of the moment she walked into the cave where Renae saved me, posing as my savior flooded my sight. I shut my eyes as I remembered how I tried to love her despite having feelings for the small doctor.Sometimes we determine our fate and sometimes what will be will be irrespective of our determination.

Chapter: Chapter 116Logan's POVI lost communication with almost everyone as we sped back to the palace. I mind-linked my mother, Lian and Renae but they didn't respond. Tera, my guard didn't respond either. Fear gripped my heart and like a lunatic, I tore through the wild leaving my men behind.I broke into the palace and I saw the ruins. The first place on my mind was my mother's chambers. My men had caught up with me and they sprinted behind me.A small group of people came into view as I got closer to my mother's chambers. Drawing nearer, I realized that it was Jennifer and her men.I didn't know if she was just going in or if she was done with my family already. Her sword was bloody and I fretted.Hatred and disdain shone in her eyes as she saw me. She snarled and at the swipe of her hand, a few of her men charged into my mother's chambers while she led the remaining men towards us.Now, I had my answer, she sent her men in because she hadn't dealt with those inside. With renewed spirits, I gave

Chapter: Chapter 115Logan's POV At this point, I could only pray that things worked out as planned and nothing would boomerang on us. After hearing from Lian, I realized that my plan just failed woefully. I should have seen into Jennifer's mind. But who knew what the psychopath was planning? All my focus was on saving Renae and our pups. I should have known that Jennifer wouldn't just go all the way out to attack only Renae. Since I knew that she had a grander plan, I should have seen it happening. Well, I am out here and I can't be there either. I just have to trust my men. I was glad that I left Tera back at the palace. He wanted to come help me out here but I told him to stay back. "Tera, listen and listen carefully. The palace has been infiltrated…" I mind-linked him and told him the situation. I gave him the order to act as he deemed fit. When he told me that Alpha Noel was around, I felt at ease. I knew there wouldn't be any problem and I could concentrate on the deal before me out here. The

Chapter: Chapter 114Jennifer's POVI sat in my facade waiting for the best news ever. I pushed the small table in front of me out of the way and rose to my feet to make my declarations."Tonight, the cup of their sins is full and I, Jennifer Tower, will avenge the blood of my father and his men on the royal family of the Moonlight Pack. I will destroy the royal family and even in death, Logan will realize the anger of a woman deprived of her love!" Of course no one could see me and one one cared to listen but it was a matter of time, tonight! I sipped from the whiskey in my hand before pouring libation to the death. Those that were long gone and those who were surely going to die tonight.I resumed my seat, waiting for the news. Then Renae came to my heart. Oh! Poor Renae.I knew Renae was obedient and easy going but her virtues won't help her this time.She had later sent a letter to me telling me that she was leaving the pack with her pups just like I had ordered.Good! Good! Good! It was a nice move

Chapter: Chapter 113June's POVRenae had been sleeping all day long. If she hadn't resolved her issue with Alpha Logan I would have thought she was sleeping because of her anxiety.I was glad when she told me that she had told Logan about Jennifer's threat. I felt a huge lump fall off my neck. When Alpha Logan summoned me the previous day, I was too overwhelmed to talk. Moreover, I always like to respect Renae's opinion. Although in this case I knew that delay might be dangerous, I still waited for her and I was glad that she did the right thing.She told Logan and she even devised a means to outsmart Jennifer.Logan accepted her plans but felt it was too risky. He was all lovey dovey, saying he couldn't risk the life of his mate. After much thought he came up with another plan that seemed less risky.We were at the Queen mother's chambers with about three maids. All other maids were locked out and no one knew that we were there except those of us that were inside.We were all grounded at the Queen moth

Chapter: Chapter 112Lian's POV I was sitting in front of my chambers thinking about everything that had happened recently. Renae's return was indeed a blessing, but it had made Jennifer bring out her claws. I had decided to spend more time in my chambers than at Renae's or mother's chambers. My chambers gave me a better view of Jennifer's chambers. I had men who were watching over her, but I felt better spying on her too. I need a break tonight. I would go on my hunting trip. And I just have a feeling that it would be a big one. I was going to catch a big game. "Targon, prepare my full hunting gear, we are going to the hunting range tonight," I said to my guard. "You mean we? Am I going with you?" Targon asked. "Yes, tonight," "On it, my princess," Targon said and vanished out of sight. What a good boy he had been. I lay down on the sofa on my porch, trying to catch some sleep before the night fell. I had hardly closed my eyes when my guards announced. "Alpha Noel has arrived!" "Alpha Noel!? Oh
