I woke up very early in the morning to shower, since I didn't last night.I was too tired to shower or even find something to eat when we came back yesterday. I felt happy and content; it must be what happened yesterday.I wish I had told him how I felt; if I say anything now, he will think that it is because of yesterday's action.Well, when we get to that river, we will cross it, I said to myself.That aside, I need to find something to eat, I told myself. I went downstairs to the kitchen. I didn't expect to bump into him. He has been sleeping near me for days, but last night I slept alone. I greeted him happily."Good morning, Alpha.""Good morning, little one, he said, smiling.""Your face is sparkling this morning.""Something good must have happened to you yesterday."I put on a fake smile, hoping that he would drop it. He continued."Was it sex?"I was embarrassed to hear him say that because they turned to look at us, whispering and gossiping.I wish I could beat him; I
Shadow-pack house.Miranda's POVIt has been more than two weeks since I came to see my father because he summoned me.He has been stalling my going home.Something about my safety; he said that staying in the shadow pack would guarantee my safety.He refused to give me details; the only thing he said was that she was still alive and well.I don't know what he planned this time around that failed him.I don't blame him, though; I am not there again. I would have helped him if I was there.Everything is always about that peasant—the prettiest, the smartest, and the strongest—they would go on and on.Yes, my dad supported me, and my mom started supporting me at some point, yet some people won't just shut up about her.Clarissa will make a great leader. She is so pretty, she is so kind, and she is strong. I saw her beat a bully. I have a crush on her. I pray the moon goddess makes her my son's mate.The list goes on and on. I know you all must be judging me; if you were in my shoes, you
The day has finally come; we will be going to shadow pack today.We arranged for a few men to stand by in case things got worse.I know Clayton; he is a sneaky bastard.We have to be very careful when handling this situation.We will break our agreement with him; finally, I have a reason to declare war on him. I have not forgiven him for what he did to my parents. Clarissa doesn't know anything yet; I will have to keep it that way. I am afraid of what will happen if she finds out the truth. I can't lose her; I don't want to lose her. I closed my eyes, remembering the sweet moment we spent together. I remembered vividly what happened last night—being together as if it were our last.I can't wait to be with her again. She fills my soul. I never thought I would be capable of love until I met her. I isolated myself for years, tormenting myself. She is right about one thing: 'Love makes you stronger.' My love for her makes me stronger, and I will protect her with my life. "Alpha
Chapter 22We fought our way through; they were ready for war. The news has spread that I am here, so everyone is getting into a position to fight me. I heard a voice saying to the guard, "Don't let him get here; see to it that you stop him." You might be wondering how I can do that—how I can eavesdrop on their conversation. It is because of who I am that I can do that. The moon goddess gifted me with great powers; I don't know why. All I know is that when all seems lost and I am at the point of death, about to cross the bridge between life and death, I am resurrected, fully charged with powers and strength unimaginable. I know that is why people are afraid of me; they should be. I have looked at death, I have seen his face, and I have lived. I have gone to the other side and come back. I am not afraid of anything. That is why I am confident that I won't be defeated by a mere alpha. I am 100 percent sure that that is Clayton's voice. The slimy bastard thinks that he can prote
Clayton POVI was reading an old book about potions when my wolf reminded me that Stephanie was around. I am surprised to hear that. I nearly peed. He must have found something out for him to be here. I wasn't expecting him, and I am scared that karma has finally caught up to me. I need to do something.I need to buy time for myself before he arrives.He is the only one who can get me out of this. I know he is creepy and scary-looking for an old man, but I would still choose him any day over StephanI quickly hid my daughter and my wife; I didn't have time to send them away again."Clay, what's going on?" my wife asked me. "Our lives are in danger."What did you do again, Clay?" She asked me. She always asked me that same question over and over again; she always thought that I did something; she never asked what the other person did. "I know you, Clay. When you want something so badly, you are blinded, and then you make dumb decisions without thinking everything through."
I loved the look on Will's stupid face; I am sure they did not expect that.It was stupid of him to send his family away without any guards to go with them."Stephan, please, don't hurt them.""I won't if he calls on his men; your family will not be harmed.""As soon as I leave here with my men, they will be free, and I will return them to you.""This isn't over, Stephan of Supreme Pack, Alpha Will said, coming closer to me."I think it is; stay away from my mate.""As for you, Clayton, you owe me. I will be coming soon to collect the debt you owe me."I closed my eyes and opened them, transforming into my wolf.My wolf rex took over, snarling at them.It is a tussle between me and Rex. I wanted to stop him from killing Clayton, even though that was what I wanted to do.He tried to move me to where he was, but I stood my ground. I made sure that my feet were glued to the ground, trapping myself and making sure I did not move.I struggled with Rex for a while, controlling the change.I
I declared my agreement with Clayton broken.I needed to get the evidence to implicate him.He is so careful; in covering his tracks, he is sneaky. I will give him that.He can't be too careful forever; he will slip one day, and then I will trap him.I am not so happy that he wants his mate to come back here; since she came here, there has never been peace at all.I wish she could stay there; I don't like that her presence upsets my mate, but since I promised to take care of my little brother and lay down my life for him when necessary, I have to do this for him.Hours passed since my friend asked me if everything was alright.I froze; I couldn't say anything to her.I have to properly construct a lie so that I won't expose myself unintentionally."When we got there, they were already prepared,One of the guards must have alerted them.""How did you manage to escape?""I threatened him; he had no choice but to let me go.""With what?""I held his wife hostage," he told her the half-tru
Stephan POVThe day has finally come, we are getting Miranda out. Her mate said that she agreed to show him where to follow to hide his identity.I have to make sure that security is tight in the pack before I leave so that my pack will not be invaded.I instructed my gamma on what to do to tighten the security and how to make sure that he covers everything if I don't come back immediately.I had to prepare for that; there is a possibility that we might not come back immediately.We are going to rely on Miranda, which is a stupid thing to do.I would rather fall down the bridge; at least there, you know the outcome.I am so glad that she doesn't know I will be joining him; that is an added advantage.We disguised ourselves in an unrecognizable way, making sure that no one knew who we were.Before we left, I had to see my mate and kiss her goodbye.I searched for her in the room, hoping I found her there. I was told by the maid that she had gone out a while ago, and I would
