Allison's POVRachel clearly wants me to stop looking into the camera issue. And am I going to do that?Um… no.First of all, I don't take orders from Rachel.I do my own thing, and I'm too curious to stop looking into this. Besides, I'm the only one in this company skilled enough to get to the root of this matter, so I'm going to do it.After she leaves, I continue digging deeper, trying to peek into the hacker's end from this side. I end up losing all track of time, and before I know it, Alice is alerting me that work hours are over.I could have continued working anyway, but well… Xander is waiting for me.I log out and leave the control room with Alice, armed with two new pieces of information. The first is the name that had come up while I looked into the cameras.Wallace Fisher.The second is that Rachel really is suspicious. With a capital S.……One of the best parts of my day is when Xander drives me home. He has been doing that lately, since I began to run out of strength due

Allison's POVDamn lesser computers, I think, punching on the keys of my system.Usually, the kind of computer I'm using wouldn't be a problem when I'm trying to hack. But it's clear that Catherine has gone to great lengths to make information about her difficult to access. What the hell is she hiding, literal skeletons in her cupboard?"Miss Carter?" Alice calls.I jolt, looking up from my computer screen."Any problem?" I ask."No, Miss Carter," she replies. "But it's lunch time."I blink at her, then glance over her head at the clock hanging on the wall."Oh," I say, "it is lunch time."Just how long did I spend trying to get through Catherine's firewalls? This is the first time I've been challenged like this.Well, bring it on, I think. When it comes to tech and computers, I do love a good challenge.Alice and I walk out of my office, heading to the cafeteria. As we walk down the hallway, the crowd of staff members parts, clearing a free path forward.Huh.That's new. They must ha

Rachel's POVThere is nothing more difficult than going to work the next day. Normally, I would have used my position as Xander's assistant as an excuse to spend as much time as I can with him. But now I just want to stay away from him every chance I get.It doesn't help that I still haven't figured out how to get rid of Catherine.I've sent spies after her for now, though, and the plan is to uncover her worst secrets and reveal them to Lady Evelyn.Once she sees that Catherine is not what's best for Xander or the pack, she will withdraw her support and Catherine will be kicked out of the city. Maybe I can even convince Lady Evelyn to transfer her support to me, so I can be Luna instead…I don't think you still want that, Rachel, I think. It's obvious Xander hates you now.I've finally escaped to my office, where I open my messages, only to learn that the three spies I hired to follow Catherine have all gone missing. Damn it. I know she's dangerous, but who makes three people disappea

Xander's POVI can't stop thinking about Catherine's words as I drive back to the mansion. If there's one thing she was right about, it's that my mother would choose to believe her over me. Mother has always wanted me to marry Catherine, because she's from one of the oldest and most powerful families in the pack.Mother was disappointed when we broke up, and would only be too happy to believe that I somehow slept with Catherine during our time apart, and left her with child.There are ways for me to prove that if at all Catherine is pregnant, it's not for me, but Mother would surely get in the way of that.And once Catherine gains Mother's support, there will be nothing to stop her from blackmailing me with father's death.If I'm going to get out of this situation, I'll need an ally whom I can trust with the secret of how my father died. The first thought that comes to my mind is Allison.I reject it immediately.I've put Allison through enough. I won't drag her into this as well. How

Allison's POVI've been pacing from one end of Xander's living room to the other for what feels like forever. It's a surprise that I haven't worn a hole into his carpet yet."Miss Carter," Alice says from where she stands against the wall, "you need to calm down....""If you tell me to calm down again, I will bite you!" I scream, digging my hands into my hair.How am I supposed to calm down when Xander isn't back yet? He was going up against all those werewolves on his own when we left. Who knows what could have happened to him by now?"Miss Carter," Alice tried again, "the Alpha wouldn't want you to worry about him. He's more than capable of taking on a few wolves."When she took me out of that place, I had insisted on being brought to Xander's house. That way, I would know the exact moment he returns.I stop pacing and sink to the floor, burying my face in my hands. I feel so helpless.Alice approaches me, but she seems at loss about what to do. Her hand hovers uncertainly over my b

Allison's POVIt has been a while since Peterson left. I thought I heard sounds of a scuffle coming from a different room, but my inferior Omega senses made it difficult to make out much. I could only sit, testing the strength of the chain behind me.Suddenly, the door opens and a huge, unfamiliar man walks in. I tense up immediately."Who are you?" I demand."The one that led the operation to kidnap you," he replies casually."What do you want from me?" I ask. "Even you must realize that Peterson is being stupid by hiring you for a mission like this.""If I was working for that asshole, I would have said it's all for the money," he replies. "But I'm here because he's been put out of commission."My blood runs cold.Did they kill him? Are they going to kill me too?"If Peterson didn't hire you, then who exactly are you?" I ask."Arnold," he replies, as if the name is supposed to mean anything to me."And what do you want from me, Arnold?" I ask."I don't have any business with you, Lu

MAYA'S POVThe atmosphere was gloomy as my Lycan mate all sat on the couch in silence. The death of their father was hurtful, but beyond that was the prophecy he had given before he passed on.“Now that father is gone, we need to come to an agreement how we rule this pack” Jenkins said.“We know the pack members will ask questions about our rulership without a mate. We must first mark our mate.” Jayden replied“Our mate? She is mine and you are dumb” A loud growl erupted out of their lips leaving me speechless.“Can you both just turn it down?” Jethro yelled in frustration. “Father just died and all any of us can do in this moment is try and mourn his death. I am sick and tired of this back and forth fight.”Even though he was the most reserved, I liked Jethro better than the rest of his brothers. The door opens and Aiden walks into the room.“The pack members are outside waiting on the news of the death of the Lycan King.” He said.“So how do we make this announcement?” Jenkins as

EMMA'S POVThe council members all rose to their feet as I walked into the chamber with Jeremy beside me. I scanned the area while watching the members take their sit to realize a few of them were not in attendance.“Why is the room not filled up with the council members?” I asked.“Luna. Many of these people thinks it is unfair that you have to sit on the throne, while the Alpha is sick at the moment.” Maverick, the youngest council member revealed.“Is that what they think of my position?” I asked in disbelief. “I will like this council to understand that as the wife of the Alpha, I am in charge. No one dares challenge me!”“You have nothing to worry about Luna. The people that are not in attendance today will be removed from the table eventually…” Jeremy opened up and a smile graced his lips afterwards.I tried to hide away my smile because of the people around us.As the meeting was about to begin, the door opens and the pack seer steps into the room. His eyes held mine and all I

MAYA'S POVThree days since my encounter with my Lycan mates and I could not be less grateful. Settling in a new environment is bound to take a whole lot of time, but I am adapting quickly.“My father has suggested that we meet with him after the meeting.” My thoughts vanished the moment Jenkins spoke, causing me to look at him.“Do you think he is going to like me?” I asked, worry filling up my face.“My father has no choice Maya, we are mates and that is all that matters.” He replied, raising up from the bed and holding my hands while we locked eyes with each other. “You don’t have anything to worry about, I know my father may have his own share of problems, but I am sure that we will be fine.”“Where are the rest?” I asked.“All that matters is that I am here now.” As we continued to share our intimate moment, I knew the rest of my mates will not be happy seeing Jenkins this close to me.There is a loud knock on the door, causing the both of us to break away from the moment of int

EMMA'S POV“We have just finished administering the drugs for the Alpha, we hope that he gets back to his feet as soon as possible.” The pack doctor revealed, as I stare down at my husband being covered in blankets by Jeremy, his first cousin.“Thank you very much doctor, when the Alpha gets back to his feet, I am sure he is going to compensate you for all your effort.” I commended.After he was gone, I approached the bed where my husband lays and sat down beside him, holding up his hands.“Sometimes I wish that the moon goddess could just grant me peaceful death, instead of a troublesome one like this.” He said.“You cannot say a thing like that Simon, the Pack doctor said you are responding to treatment and that is all that matters right now.” I said, squeezing his hands in comfort.“How much more can I thank you? Both you and Jeremy have been the ones taking good care of me.” I looked up at Jeremy, whose gaze was on me but he quickly shifted them back to Simon.“You don’t have anyt

MAYA'S POV“If the both of you were not so level headed, she would not be in this state right now.”“So now you want to blame Jayden and I for everything when you were also part of it?” I groaned as the familiar voices kept going back and forth against each other. I slowly opened my eyes but closed them back, due to the rays of the light in the room.“I think she is slowly waking up.” I opened my eyes once more and this time they fully adjusted to the lights in the room. I slowly tried sitting up, as my triplet mates encircled me.“Where am I?” I asked, trying to make sense of the white colored room and the bed that I laid upon.“Jayden and Jenkins were arguing when you passed out. I tried controlling the both of them, but they kept acting like babies.” Jethro explained, glaring hard at his brothers whose attention were on me.“How do you feel now?” Jayden asked, his voice soften and eyes showing concern.“Weak….I guess” I replied.Behind the triplets, the door opened and a man all d

MAYA'S POVWhy does fate has to be cruel to me? Standing at the podium is one half of the men who I found out on the night of our intimacy, was my mate.“You are all welcome both old and new employees, I look forward to working with each and everyone of you .” He said, eyes fixed in my direction.Barely minutes later, he was done with his address and as he stepped down from the podium, I knew he was coming for me. I did not want to have anything to do with him or his brothers.As the crowd of workers disperse, I tried to hide amongst their midst hoping I wont be found and that is until I bumped into someone.“You escaped me once, I am not letting that happen again.” He said, grabbing my arms forcefully, despite my protest.“Boss, the conference… We are late already.” The young lady behind him spoke with her eyes down.“Tell everyone that the meeting has been postponed.” He responded, his gaze not leaving mine.“But sir….” The young lady held her lips, the moment he turned around to l
