Betrayed by a man she loves and trusts the most, she is cast into a deadly arrangement with the deadly Alpha of The Howling Abyss Pack, Daphne has but only one choice: run. Captured and taken to The Howling Abyss Pack, Daphne finds herself at the mercy of the very man who caused wreck and havoc on her life. The same very man who was responsible for the death of her beloved parents. Alpha Caius, a dangerous Alpha who despises weakness, dismisses her as just another pawn—until he discovers she's his fated mate. Despite his cold treatment towards Daphne, there lies serious war he refuses to acknowledge—an undeniable pull toward the woman he swore to despise.
View MoreShe had walked for a very long time, and although she didn't know where she was heading, she was certain she had gone far from The Mistwood Pack and everyone that lived in it. The day had broken. She could see clearly. Walking through the unfamiliar territory, Daphne could not help but think back to a few days ago when she was betrayed by the few people she should call her family. Thoughts about it weighed her down more than anything would, but then she smiled at the thought of being free—from these same people. From her past. As she walked further, there was a noise ahead. Daphne, immediately, stopped in her tracks. What was that? Her thoughts raced. There were voices. Voices of men who moved around the area she was stuck in. Who else could it be? She thought. Fear gripped her as she immediately imagined these men to be men from The Mistwood Pack. Perhaps Alpha Edgar had asked them to look for her as she could have been discovered missing. That old car
“I have a right to make my own decision, Father, just as your daughter has made hers.” Daphne's voice resounded in the room with echoes. “And what is your decision, child?” “I will stay back in my Father's—”“Why is that?” Luna Whitmore questioned. The way she looked at Daphne reflected nothing but hate, but at the same time, there was Daphne who didn't care what the woman thought of her. “Tell me why you should stay back in this pack when so many lives are at stake?” “Mother,” Daphne spoke. “Your daughter is the one who should be there, not be.” “My daughter is pregnant. But there's you and you're not pregnant—” Luna Whitmore fought back. “You're not with a child. A child in Ophelia’s stomach is the reason she cannot go.” “But I am married!” Daphne shouted. “What marriage?” The Alpha stepped in once again. A slight chuckle ran out of his mouth. He looked at Adrian, his daughter before Daphne who moped at him. “A marriage where the husband no longer loves you? Because if he d
Alpha Edgar struggled to stand on his feet and when he couldn't, he leaned on the wall. As he looked away from Ophelia and avoided her gaze, he announced. “Alpha Caius will be here to take you with him in a few days, Ophelia.” All Ophelia could do was mop at him, them—the Alpha and the Luna who didn't move from a spot, but watched their daughter with pity in their eyes. The Luna then spoke. “We tried to tell you but we couldn't. And now we don't have a choice.” “I don't believe this.”Ophelia’s words hit the walls of the large room. She looked around and met the gaze of Adrian who simply watched, although covering himself with the duvet so that he was not naked. Daphne had a smile on her countenance. How could she not? Things were beginning to seem okay for her. The revenge and justice she deserved was about to be served, how could she not like that? “You sold me to that man, Father—” “You were not sold, Ophelia.” “So what is it?” Disappointment crowded her countenance. She
Daphne walked into the room, her breath catching in her throat at the sight before her—Adrian and Ophelia tangled in a moment of passion. On her matrimonial bed!The air was thick. It wrapped around her lungs like an iron fist, almost choking her to death. Her vision blurred as she struggled to process what she was seeing, though she wished she couldn’t.Adrian was supposed to be her husband and Ophelia, her step-sister even though things didn't work out well between them, but what happened to staying away from her husband? The air around her felt suffocating. Her hand went to her burning chest and she realized how in the act the both of them were, the more reason why they didn't hear her walk in. A raw, broken cry escaped Daphne’s lips. Adrian heard it immediately, his body going rigid. He froze, and his eyes widened with shock. He opened his mouth to speak but no words came. Daphne could see Ophelia, but there was no look of regret on her countenance. Instead, she adjusted on
