Horace’s pov.

“Ready?” She asked as my eyes trailed her body behind my glasses.

I wanted to keep it to myself, but it just slipped out. “You look… beautiful.”

She gave a slight smile. “Thank you.” Then she looked away. “You don't look too bad yourself.”

I smiled. “Is that your idea of a good compliment?”

“Take it or leave it, alpha Horace. Greed has never done well for anyone.” She chided jokingly as we entered the car.

We got to the venue, and as usual, I got out and opened her door.

“Thank you, baby.” She placed a slight peck on my cheek.

“Ouuuu, what was that?”

“For the public right and the public are watching right now.”

“Okay, you’re doing good. You’re on the right track. It means I need to increase my own skills then. To be able to keep up with the best actress in Crimson Moon.”

“You better.”

We both laughed as we walked into the mall in gentle strides, my hand settled on her waist.

The event began in due time with the ribbon cutting before all guests went in.

  • Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal   Chapter 128

    Elena’s POVI sat in the gigantic office Horace had me upgraded to, looking around it and thinking about how well my life had changed.“I guess there are many perks to being familiar with the Alpha,” I murmured, a joke to myself.Life had been so good to me in recent times, and Horace, being the man that he was, was a big part of that, if not the only part.And although he was already almost perfect before, since we got back from the trip to the haunting grounds, he had managed to outdo himself again.Going all out with everything that involved me.So of course, as I sat in the office that morning, I couldn't help the smile that stretched widely across my face.Just then, a knock sounded on my door, and when I said, 'Come in,' one of the nurses came in, holding a letter in her hand.“Good morning, Miss Elena. Someone drop this letter for you.”I squinted my brows.“A letter? What someone?”“Uhm, it was a delivery guy and he just dropped it off and left.”I stared at the letter in her

    Horace’s POVI kept thinking back to Michael and his madness that he had displayed, how shocked he looked when Elena talked about the mate bond, and I couldn’t help but think there was certainly more to it.He had a look in his eyes that showed that he was hiding something, something of interest.Something that made me want to dig deep.My thoughts were cut short as my assistant came into my office.“Good morning, Alpha. Miss Monica is here to see you.”I squinted my brows as it wasn’t a meeting I had arranged or expected.“Did she state her reason for being here?”He shook his head. “Yes, she said Miss Elena sent her on an errand to you.”“An errand? That I don’t know about? That’s impossible, Elena would have given me a heads up.” I said, more to myself than to the poor guy in front of me who just stared silently, unsure of a response.I sighed. “Fine, let her in.”“Yes, sir.” He rushed out of the room. A moment later, the door pushed open, and in walked Monica, dressed in a rather

    Michaela’s POV“Hello, master,” I said, bowing slightly as my hands shook. He remained seated, puffing the smoke on his cigar.“Hello, Michael. This one you’re here uninvited, it better be good news.”“Sir, it’s actually a long story.” I stammered.He sighed. “And one I suppose will piss me off too, right? Because that’s all you do. Piss me off.”I swallowed because he was right, and I wasn’t sure how well that sat with me.“It’s—it’s something I have to say.”“Then go on with it already.”I swallowed another emptiness down my throat. This time dryer and more urgent.“Elena—.”“Yeah, what about the one simple job I gave you?”“Elena…knows. She knows everything.”As the words left my mouth, the room fell silent immediately. Even our breathing seemed to seize, and he finally pulled his cigar out of his mouth, tossing the bud onto the ashtray.He whipped his head straight to me in great urgency. “What did you just say?”I looked away, afraid to meet his gaze.“I went to the White House t

    Michael’s POV“Mr Wilmington, you need to get to get out of here right now.”“Don’t tell me what to do, you common guard. I’m here to see my wife. Show me to my wife, right? How dare the Alpha take what is mine? Is this how an Alpha is supposed to behave? Taking other people’s wives.”I yelled at the guard as I stood outside the gates of the White House, shaking it vigorously.That Ashanti had destroyed the perfect plan I wanted to push on Monica to help me get Elena back, so now I had to go back to my old ways.Following Elena everywhere, including her house, just to disrupt her life with Horace.But the guards didn’t even seem to put effort into chasing me away; they just stood, warning, like I was some crazy beggar who didn’t need attention.I had someone to face. A very dangerous person. If I didn’t get Elena back and do what’s needed. I ran my hand through my hair, hissing because this someone could also make or mar me, I just couldn’t afford him deciding to do the latter.“Let m

    Ashanti’s POVI smiled, walking around her.“Hmm. The words leaving your mouth seem a bit too enthusiastic, if you ask me.”Her shoulders stiffened. “What the hell does that mean, Ashanti?”I paused. “It means I can tell the truth. Your feelings are plastered all over your face.”She clicked her tongue, turning to me.“Stop saying nonsense, Ashanti.”She said this, but her face said something else. That I was right, she wanted Alpha Horace.Perhaps she didn’t want me to know because she was scared of me adding it to my blackmail list against her. The same list that helped me get a roof over her as I was trying to hide from the police.The incident back at the hunting grounds was being reported everywhere, so with my name on every news outlet, it was difficult to even get a decent place of rest.I had to even confiscate my phone and other gadgets just so they wouldn’t be able to trace my location. I became a living destitute with no direction to take until my mind went to the disgustin

    Ashanti’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
