CHAPTER THIRTY: DARK MAGIC
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," a voice drawled behind me, scaring the life out of me.
I gasped and whirled around, my eyes wide with shock as I stared into Ophelia's lush green eyes.
She was leaning against the wall, right beside me, elegant and beautiful as ever. Her raven black hair was dark and glossy in luscious curls that framed her forehead and oval face. Her green eyes glittered under the lighting in the hallway and her dress was a revealing but exquisite slash of satin on her body, exposing golden tan skin in all the right places.
It was no surprise that I hadn't heard her approaching me. She was a werewolf after all and disguising her steps would come easy to her. Not like I would know anything about it. I was clumsy to a fault and about as stealthy as a drunk kitten.
Her eyes narrowed into slits and she tilted her head, glossy black hair falling down her smooth shoulders, a calculative glint danced in her eyes. "What do you think you

My fingers were still quivering from the aftereffect of the adrenaline ebbing away in my veins. I was sitting in my huge queen sized bed, buried under silken sheets, trembling violently as the event that just occurred downstairs played in my head.Never in my life have I seen such a terrifying display of power with such a devastating magnitude. I couldn't get over the fact that Solan's mate was dead. That countless other people were lying dead and blackened and shriveled up on the same marble floor, in the same hallway I have walked past a hundred times since I got here.I had just started to see this place as home. I had just started to feel comfortable here - free, safe. But if such a horrifying evil could easily make it's way into Alexander's home, it meant that no one was safe. It also meant that Black Bane was stronger than we all gave them credit for.Way stronger.My heart sunk to my stomach and anxiety bled through my pores. I was biting the skin
FALLING FOR THE WRONG ALPHA CHAPTER THIRTY TWO: HOT DEBATES AND BETRAYALS
If I thought the council room was quiet before, it was nothing compared to the stifling silence that settled in the room after Alexander finished reading the ominous letter.I swallowed and wrung my trembling fingers together, clenching my teeth to stop them from chattering wildly.Alexander let out a deep, heavy sigh and leaned back against his seat, calmly folding the piece of paper. Everyone seemed to be struggling to even take their next breaths and it was Solan that broke the silence.Her teeth was tightly clenched in barely concealed rage. "This is obviously a slap on the face to our Alpha and our pack! He thinks he can murder our Beta - my husband - and threaten us unprovoked? We can't let him, Diablo or whatever the hell his name is, get away with this! Black Bane will pay for this!"The whole room was thrown into chaos."Yes! I agree with Solan!" A dark skinned woman with gold in her hair said. "Black Bane's tyranny needs to come to an end
FALLING FOR THE WRONG ALPHA DIABLO IS COMING
The entire atmosphere in the mansion didn't lighten up even after news spread of Alexander's verdict and his decision to chose peace. If anything, everywhere grew more tense and pensive and snatches of conversations made it clear to me that I was nobody's favourite person at the moment.Just yesterday, I had heard snatches of gossip from the kitchen maids as they washed up the day's dishes, their tongues sharp and poisonous and slashing cuts into my skin."She has him wrapped around her fingers, I'm telling you." One of them had hissed, soaking up a charred pot to wash up later. "She's not good for our Alpha.""She's actually going to get us all killed and Alpha Alexander should be wiser than that. Who invites their own enemy to a tea party?""We're all doomed, I'm telling you. I would have left Silver Dawn but my indenture isn't up yet.""Me too. We're stuck here together, Clair."I had sighed and walked away, pretending I didn't hear them,
FALLING FOR THE WRONG ALPHA CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR: ALPHA OF BLACK BANE
My ears were ringing with the absurdity of that statement."Well, hello, brother."I couldn't believe it. My ears were playing tricks on me. This must all be part of a dream I hadn't waken up from. Because Alexander's brother was dead. Or supposed to be, at least.I looked at Alexander and a myriad of emotions washed through his face. Disbelief. Guilt. Relief. Dread. And finally, fear.I had never seen him at a loss for words, completely frozen and so pale, he looked like death. Finally, his lips cracked open and he whispered one word, "Cassius."Even the name rocked me to my core, eliciting a shiver that trotted down my spine.I looked at the man only to see annoyance flash across his wickedly beautiful face. "Diablo," he corrected with a voice so deceptively smooth, I almost lulled at the tone of it. "The name's Diablo now."Alexander's lips split into a relieved smile, "oh my god, it IS you. How is this possible?" His face contorted into an incredulous look, relief, pouring from h
FALLING FOR THE WRONG ALPHA CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE: DEVILISH INTENTIONS
Cassius' PovI never thought I'd be back here. It never occurred to me that they'd deliver themselves up to me like an offering and play right into my hands.We had retreated back into the house to draw up a better binding contract to solidify our agreement and sign on it to keep our ends of the bargain.I scoffed internally. Like a fucking piece of paper and some ink would hold me back from the havoc I was going to wreck on this pack. This dreadful pack was a blight that bled spite and bigotry from its pores. That puffed their chests with pompous pride and importance. That bred its pups to do the same.The idiot actually thought that the other packs will pay him heed.He had always been so full of himself, even when he was just a kid. Affecting more importance than he was worth.Hopeless, naive fool.Nobody will come to Silver Dawn's aid. The others will wait until the proud pack has fallen. They'll even be too happy to stand on the sidelines and watch. And by the time I'm done with
FALLING FOR THE WRONG ALPHA CHAPTER THIRTY SIX: THE DELINQUENT
I didn't quite believe it when I first heard it. But the visiting alpha taking over his former room had all but confirmed everything;Alexander had asked his brother to stay behind and even went on to prepare a banquet in honour of him... The brother who insisted that everyone call him the devil.Except you though, a voice slithered into my head, sending shivers snaking down my spine.I rubbed my elbow and chewed on my lip nervously, worried about his weird fixation on me. And mine on him.He made me feel things, stirring something in that part of me that should be numb to anoher man's advances. He would catch my eyes and give me a knowing look, mischievous fire sparking in his eyes. As if I was in on a secret he was keeping from the others.I was aware of his presence in a way that made me feel antsy and anxious. My gaze dragged to him whenever he was near, even when I didn't will it, and there was a ball of desire churning tirelessly in my lower abdomen whenever our eyes met, even i
FALLING FOR THE WRONG ALPHA THIRTY SEVEN: PARTIES AND ENEMIES
I swallowed audibly as Alexander considered my request, his forehead furrowing a bit, deep in thought. "You said he just wants to show you around?" He asked for the umpteenth time. "Yes," I fumbled with my finger. "I think I need some fresh air and time away from this house. I've been cooked up in here too long and I don't know what the rest of Silver Dawn looks like." A guilty look flashed across his eyes and I winced as a wave of uneasiness washed over me. I felt horrible for lying to him but Sean did say that I wasn't supposed to let him know. And the last thing I wanted to do was put my potential friend in trouble. "You're right," he sighed, rubbing his forehead. "You should feel free to go out as you please, but does it have to be this late at night?" My eyes widened. I hadn't thought that part out. He was leaving for an important business trip to a neighbouring pack tonight and he wasn't going to be around to see me return late. Something I was thankful about. Still, 5pm
FALLING FOR THE WRONG ALPHA CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT: BLURRY MEMORIES
"You're mine, Venus." The voice was dark, familiar and far away. "I will raze this goddamn pack before I let any harm come to you."A solemn oath. The whisper of a promise.I floated in and out of consciousness, not sure if Cassius had really said those words, or if they were broken remnants of my shattered dreams.I finally roused awake the next morning, nauseous and sick to my stomach, my head spinning wildly. The sun rays slashed across my skin, pricking me like a thousand tiny needles. I pried my eyes open only to be hit by a wave of nausea so strong, I shut them back immediately."Ouch," I moaned, my hands coming up to hold my head, my heart pounding in my head, a headache starting to cant a new beat in my skull."Venus," I heard a familiar voice, the sound of someone scampering over to my bedside in a rustle of tulle and fabric.I opened my eyes slowly to see June staring back down at me, obstructing the biting sun rays. Her beautiful face was pinched into a worried look, concer
