He looked bothered by all I had said to him.I continued;"I came to your pack to speak with you, but you were not there at all.""I spoke with Liam instead; I hope he told you everything I said to him.""He didn't get the chance to; I am just coming back from a mission.""What mission is that?"He looked at me with an expression that said, How is that your business?I had to clarify and explain myself."I know that it is none of my business, but I just wanted to know if you went to see my daughter in the moonlight pack; that is the only reason why I am asking.""His eyes narrowed before he answered me.Yes, I went to see her; how did you know that she was there?""I overheard Clayton and my father talking.""Listen, Stephan, you have to get her out of there; if you don't do that, she will die. He is going to use her and trap you, then kill her.""I think my father manipulated her; he can do that very well; that is one of his specialties.""If you judge him by appearance alone, you w
Miranda's POV.I was with my mate, enjoying our time together since Clarissa was not around anymore, and I hope she is gone forever.We have been mocked by that half-assed alpha that there was no intimacy between us; we decided to prove them wrong.Don't get me wrong, I know Liam loves me, and the greatest thing he wanted was to have a little pup.I want no such thing; I don't want anything that will take his attention away from me.I want him to look at me and only me.A little pup will take that attention away.I am not like the other female wolves who believed that their duty was to give birth to a pup for their mate.Liam will be getting only me until I think otherwise.We were sitting down outside tanning under the sun. I initiated the kiss, and he responded hungrily; he must have been. surprised by his bold step, and that made him kiss back.We noticed the gossiping lips that watched us.The maids were whispering within themselves and pointing at what we were doing.We were
Stephan's POV I spent an amazing night with my little one. I did not want it to end, so when she said that she needed to go back, I wasn't too happy about that.I didn't want our moment to be cut short.We talked about so many things that we didn't have the chance to talk about before.The number of pups we wanted to have and where we will live once everything settles down.What are we going to call the land when we unify it?How are we going to work together to take over the whole land?We had a long talk until early in the morning.I know she doesn't want issues with her grandfather, but I do.I don't care if Alpha William will not be too happy with her staying late.He should know that she has a mate and that she is a grown wolf.I wish I had been there so that I could give him more details of what we did last night.I will make sure I tell him everything without omitting a single one.I have a plan on how to seduce her to stay with me more.I know that she missed me; her bod
After my mother's impromptu visitation, I knew that it wouldn't be long before Stephan would come back. It was almost time for me to prepare everything.I need to find someone who will help me carry out my scheme.The whole pack was busy with preparation for the alpha's birthday; I heard that was in three days.It is the perfect opportunity for me to carry out my plan.I had just finished showering, and I wanted to go outside to see how the arrangements for the celebration were going.Liam put me in charge of it long before my mother came to visit him.I know that since then, he regrets his decision but can't take it back since it will be suspicious.I was just outside speaking with the designer who will sew our clothes on the modification I wanted her to make on my clothes. I wanted my clothes to be the prettiest there is and the best.We were still talking when the ass ran into the house.The other wolves there bent their necks to greet him, keeping their faces on the floor; he didn
Clarissa's POV.After we killed the last assassin we exchanged numbers that we could use to contact each other.We followed a secret path that she directed us to follow, to an abandoned building in the neighboring pack.She hid there, for the time being, the agreement was that after everything had settled, we would come and get her to a safer place.We went back home after we took the weapon that we used to murder the assassin, when we got home, I pretended like nothing happened.The next day, I got permission from my grandfather to go and see my mother, I needed an answer and I needed it fast, he was reluctant to let me go at first but because he had no choice, he allowed me to go, I spoke with Stephan that I needed his help with a minor issue, he came immediately and took me with him and William too.We were on our way when I told him what happened.The way he acted showed that he knew about it.He kept quiet at first before he asked me how did I know about it.I screamed, "You know
Clarissa POVComing back home and being so close to Stephan has been the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. The downside is that I have to see her face again.I was perplexed when she started acting nice all of a sudden—too nice for her good. I thought maybe something brought about this change in her; like I said earlier, she has been acting too nice for her good. Whenever she sees me before, she won't have courtesy for me as the Luna of this pack; she will insult me and jeer at me.I have made up my mind that I won't tolerate such bullshit. Coming back after spending days in my grandfather's house and finding out who I am has changed me. It has made me more confident in myself as the Luna of this pack and the heir of the old alpha king. The day we arrived in the pack, I was well ready to go head-to-head with her. I was surprised that when we met, she greeted me calmly and politely, without her usual insults and snickering. I was further surprised when she gave me a dr
Stephan's POVI wasn't expecting the witch to do that; I suspected that she was aware, as we know.She was not supposed to go through with her plans, but she did anyway.I wanted her dead. I wanted that for so long, but I could not achieve it because of my brother Liam. It is like feasting with the devil and living with her. She is the reason why I don't take food anywhere in my own home.I always make sure that I smell the food, look at it well, and that it is from a genuine person before I eat it. I want her gone, but I can't do that since she isn't my responsibility. I have been careful not to hurt Liam's feelings; that's why I tolerated her attitude. She messed up big time going through with it, especially on my birthday. When I perceived the scent, something in my gut told me that I should check it out, and honestly, I always follow what my gut tells me. I noticed that the paint coating on the cup was weird; it was still watery, so I checked it out. I used my finger to
Stephan's POV If you had stumbled upon the drama, that is enfolding between me and her, you would think I was a monster harassing this young and frail woman. She shook in fear while tears gushed from her eyes. I did not need to place my ears near her mouth to know that she was struggling to breathe and that her heartbeat was slowing down. She groaned in pain as I held her tighter. I have already used enough force; if I were to apply more, I would kill her and still wouldn't get the information I needed. My brother will hate me forever. I started to loosen my hand on her neck to avoid killing her. "My grandfather," she stuttered."Alpha will," I asked to confirm what I heard. "Y.. es," she struggled to voice out. I loosen my grip on her and allow her to fall, knowing that it will hurt badly. She landed on the floor, hitting her chest on the ground.She inhaled with force, like someone whose breath was cut off. I stoop to the ground to be at the same eye level as her.
