Alaric's PovEver since Samantha threw those heartbreaking words to my face that Adrain wasn't my son, I had become increasingly irritated. I snapped at the slightest things and couldn't wait for her welcome ceremony to see the fucker who claimed to be Adrain's father.I had just returned from a meeting with my security council officials on how to secure our borders better, and when I walked into the room, I perceived a familiar scent that should normally get me excited and aroused, but instead I felt repulsed."Lily?" I called, seeing my fiancee lying naked, her arousal hitting my nose. I should have pounced on her now and devoured her, but for the first time since I rejected Samantha, I was unwilling.I watched her play with herself while giving me an inviting look. I walked into the room, my eyes locked on her fingers as she pleasured herself. I took off my jacket, mentally preparing to get laid, but my thoughts quickly shifted to Samantha. I shook my head, hoping to shake her off,
Samantha's Pov"Who is the father of your son, Samantha?"The words finally slipped out of his mouth and my heart sank into my belly. I stared at him, my heart thudding more loudly. How could I look at an alpha straight in the eyes and lie to him?But I had to.If Ric knew Adrain was his son, then he might take him away from me. I couldn't let that happen."He was my date during our freshmen party at Arcana Hills, we got drunk and it led to something and we had Adrain." I said the words in one breath, hoping I played well enough and he didn't notice the uneasiness beneath my words. I saw Alaric blink several times and he let out a sigh that seemed disappointed but then, he didn't look convinced.Ric gulped hard and this time, I noticed his body shake slightly as if he was angry. "What's his name?" His voice sounded thicker now."Julian..." I said immediately and took in a deep breath before speaking again. "Julian Lockhart." I heard a low reverberating sound from him and it shook me t
Samantha's PovI pulled my legs to Alpha Ric's office with the box in my hand, the guard in front let Ric know that I was present and I was ushered in immediately.The moment Ric saw the box in my hand a frown settled on his face. I knew the dress cost a lot but for an alpha like him, it should be nothing."Have a seat Samantha." Alaric said gesturing in the direction for me to sit. I didn't like the way my name always sounded on his mouth, it always made my heart skip a beat.I didn't want to get any closer to him either so I bluntly refused."There is no need Alpha Ric. I came here to return what you gave me." I said and he let out a sigh."About the dress... I just thought I should give you a dress for the party, as a gift." He said, his eyes keen on me. I just wished he could look at the box in my hand instead, so that I could breathe at least. I couldn't do that comfortably with his eyes fixed on me so much." I don't think that is necessary alpha. I have a dress already, So I'll
Samantha"s PovIt had been days now since I got here, I had been studying several research done by Adams, they were inconclusive. I had also begun assessing the infected warriors, recording every step of my findings.I went on a lunch break with my son Adrain in the room, we had just finished lunch and I was preparing to leave for the lab again after seeing Adrain off to play with his friends. A knock landed on my door and it was surprising since I didn't have any visitors.I went to answer the door and saw a maid with a box. I looked at her confused while expecting an explanation. I knew I didn't request for whatever was in that box."Doctor Samantha, Alpha Ric asked me to get this to you." She said dipping her head slightly. I looked at her a bit suspicious before taking the box from her."Thanks." I said shutting the door before walking back to meet a curious Adrain."What's that?" He asked with haste, pointing at the box in my hand."I don't know, want to check it out with me?""
Samantha's Pov"You shouldn't flirt with pack members like that." I turned sharply to look at Alaric. He just spoke to me through the mind link and what did he even mean by that? He still looked annoyed but it was different from the kind of look he had given Kayson and Kennedy." I wasn't flirting." I defended and I heard him scoff. What did I care if he believed me. It was none of his concern."The lip twist, the unwavering gaze, the shyness in your body language. None of that was flirting?" His annoyance rolled off and I couldn't even describe my surprise at his questions.I turned around to look at him one more time and he seemed very unapologetic. He had his head held up high, I shook my head in disbelieve. Why did I even need to explain myself?I shut him off from speaking to me through the mind link and he didn't appear pleased with it. His aura grew even more but I ignored him and finally, we were at the pack's hospital.I stood outside the room where an infected warrior laid w
Samantha's PovI went to bed with Ric's words echoing in my mind. To think that a simple apology could erase all the pain I had to endure all those years was an audacity no one should have.Not a single explanation as to why and yet he had the nerves to say sorry? There was no need demanding an explanation, I didn't want anything that would lead to us talking about Adrain, it was only a matter of time before that question popped up and I guess he was looking for a smooth way in.In the morning, I decided to go for a run. I had packed my hair up in a ponytail, wore my track suit that hugged my body perfectly then went into the field where other members of the pack were having their personal training.The warriors had a special building where they trained and I could see a number of them heading towards that direction for their training session.And to think that one was running beside me now got me feeling uneasy. What did he want? "Hey." He called, beaming a smile at me."Hey you." I
