LOGINAshanti’s POVMy eyes bulged open at the sight of Michael. I quickly turned around to run away, but he grabbed onto my hair with such force, I felt a sharp pain shooting through my body.“Come here, you bitch. What the hell are you doing here?” He said, pulling me in.“Michael, please stop it, you’re hurting me.” I pleaded, but it only fell on deaf ears.He smashed my face against a wall, his hand wrapping around my neck instantly.“I told you I would kill you if I ever set my eyes on you again, I told you, right?”I hit his hand rapidly, trying to get them off my neck as my eyes were beginning to close.“What the hell are you doing?” Monica’s voice called out from behind.“What does it look like? What is this bitch doing in your house anyway?”“Let her go this instant, Michael. You’re going to kill her, and I won’t have that in my house.”“Then what is she doing here, Monica?”“She came to give me important news, okay, she’s the one who told me about Alpha Horace and that silly bitch
Michael’s POVI paced back and forth in the room, finger on my chin.“What do you mean they went for the royal hunt together? Isn't that only for Lunas and Alphas?” I asked the disheveled-looking Monica, who had basically run through the properties in her house in sheer frustration.She was now seated on the floor in the middle of her room, looking as frustrated as I was.“You heard me right, Michael. They played us, all of us. They made everyone believe they are over, when the reality is quite far from that.” She paused, chuckling dryly.“I should have known something was up. He kept reaching out to Logan, but I thought it was still for the case of the fake doctors. Instead, he was preparing to show her off at the royal hunt.” She talked aimlessly without giving a proper reply to my question.“Answer my question, isn’t it only Luna’s accepted there alongside their Alphas?”“Exceptions are put in place. Especially for someone like him, who everyone is aware of his situation with Elain
Elena POV“It's a lie, Viva. I never brought anyone here to attack you. Don’t say crazy things like that.”“You brought in the attacker, Alpha Coren. We’ve got video evidence.”The elderly patron replied quickly.“Yeah, I do not deny that I brought her in.”“But you did in fact deny it yesterday when your wife was stabbed. You knew who the attacker was, but you intentionally kept quiet, leaving every other person to play a guessing game.” One of the other Alphas chipped in.“Yeah, I know what I did, dammit. You do not need to remind me.” He snapped, then turned to Viva.“Listen to me, I don’t really know who she is. She’s just someone I’m helping.”She scoffed, and so did I under my breath.“You don’t know who she is, but she’s just someone you’re helping?“I mean…” He stuttered.“Don't bother, Coren. You don’t need to say anymore because I’m not interested in hearing it. Instead, I’ve come before the Alphas and the Lunas in this room today to bear me witness. Not only have you disreg
Elena‘s POVI stared at Horace, whose face seemed hard as a rock. When we first walked in, I really thought he was going to forgive her easily, but with the way he was staring now, I couldn’t help but let out a sigh of disappointment.I turned back to Viva, whose Hope was also beginning to dwindle off her face.“Sure, Viva, I forgive you, and I know Elaine has done the same years ago, so don’t ever let it bother you again. I put all the past behind me and moving forward, we have begun our relationship on a new slate.”His voice sounded behind me, and it didn’t have any form of animosity or pretense to it.My chest heaved, and I turned my head back to him quickly.He stared at me knowingly as if to say gotcha.Then I realized he had done that whole thing intentionally to make me feel like he wasn’t going to budge.My face widened into a smile as I felt a complete rush of happiness swirling through me.“Oh, Horace." I breathed“Do you really mean that? Do you really mean those words?” V
Horace’s POVI slowly opened my eyes, trying to get used to the sudden brightness before I settled them on the woman lying beside me. She looked completely peaceful and at ease with herself, like she had no problems to worry about, at least like they were not good enough to worry her at that point.She was like a perfect picture, one I didn’t want to disrupt.I let out a small smile, my hand running down her cheek softly.“Elena, you are so beautiful,” I whispered to myself, a wide smile lining the corner of my lips.To my greatest surprise, even though she was still sleeping, her face morphed into a small smile as I showered praises on her.The previous night had been perfect. I had been expecting it to be good, but I wasn’t prepared for how good it turned out.I also managed to mark her after spending hours ravishing her body, and even that was perfection on its own.Her reaction was subtle, but it seemed very raw, like one she had never had before, but I knew that was impossible, a
Elena’s POVThe air in the room stilled, and a hot flush of heat coursed through my body as the intensity of his kiss heightened.We snuggled down into the bed, his body completely over mine, holding me tightly as if I could slip away with a single blink.Although he was still clothed, I felt everything his body had to offer through his clothes. Everything.Instinctively, I stroked my long legs along his, drawing a slight groan from him.His tongue dipped harder into my mouth, hungry and searching with a deep pressure that left an intoxicating feeling within me.“Lena.” He whispered, finally giving me some time to breathe.“Yeah.” I gave a bare reply, still holding onto his neck as I went back to action.His hand began to run through the tiny satin dress I had on. I did the same, running my hand into his light shirt and night sweats.He pulled himself away from me quickly, taking off his shirt.My breath caught at the sight before me.I had seen his chest once in the past under comple
