Se connecterLIAM's pov"Let's go!" I announced, when I pushed open the gates of Amanda's dungeon cell. "And don't even try to escape, because I'll personally break your legs."She sneered at me as groggily walked out of the cell and leaned weakly against the walls."You've literally had me inhaling wolfsbane for days. I'm shocked my bones haven't simply melted from all that toxin." She drawled out and looked up at me.She wasn't wrong. Dominic and I had planned to move her permanently to the deepest dungeon cells beneath the territory, and to make sure she didn’t escape we filled the vents with wolfsbane so she could be weakened every time she inhaled.It was diabolical, but it greatly suited one as devious as Amanda."Well, it was effective, was it not?" I asked, and reached for her arm. "Let's go, our car is waiting.""My car?" She asked weakly. "The one that'll take me to my lifetime prison. Will Dominic be driving?"I raised a brow at her and scoffed."He doesn't have the time of your day, se
EVELYN's pov"I've made up my mind." I said to Dominic, after days of quiet reflection. "About what?" Dominic asked, looking up from whatever he had been seriously reading on his phone."About Amanda. I know what I want to do with her, although I suppose I've gotten some inspiration from you." He raised a brow as I struggled out of bed, my bump a bit more evident now."I've tried and tried to convince myself that this pack would be better off with Amanda long dead and forgotten…" I began and then shook my head. "I'm even aware that the pack elders will see my choice as overly merciful and weak…but even then, I don't want Amanda to die."Dominic's gaze softened at my gaze, and I knew he understood where I was coming from without me having to say too much. But still I explained myself."It is enough for her to be imprisoned for the rest of her life. She will be stripped of any form of rank or pack privileges. No more wolfsbane…well, perhaps a little bit here and there to keep her wea
EVELYN's povAfter wrestling with the thought for nearly an hour, I decided to pay Amanda a visit in the dungeons.I remembered that Domniinc told me she was in the dungeons of the other house, but I decided to wait for him before going there myself. That way he wouldn't have to worry when he returned to the room and didn't find me.But then, when he did return and I brought up my wish to see Amanda, he didn't seem too thrilled about it."Are you sure?" He asked, rubbing at his brow. "You really want to look at that wench?"I nodded slowly from where I sat in the bed, my demeanor strangely calm."I'm slowly forming a decision, but I think I need to see her to solidify my choice. Plus, I think it would be a form of closure for me."He sighed deeply and rubbed the back of his head."I don't know, Evelyn. That woman is vile, and I'm worried seeing her would put you in a bad state. I'm really not sure this is safe.""really? Because you are the one who has been telling me how safe I am an
DOMINIC's POVI waited till Evelyn had eaten her lunch and was taking a nap, before I called up Liam and arranged for a meeting."I didn't know you were back already, I would have visited earlier." Liam said at the other end of the phone. He sounded like he was driving, but I didn't bother to ask where he was."Yeah, the doctor just discharged her this morning, so I brought her home as soon as possible." I said quietly. I was seated outside in the garden, where I was sure no one would hear my discussion with Liam."Is she much better then?""A whole lot." I said and thought for a moment. "Although, she doesn’t seem so comfortable. She seems on edge, like she is waiting for something bad to happen again."And the thought of it left me feeling troubled."Well, that's only normal. Considering what she's been through. Just give her some time.""Time." I murmured and stared at the house. The window in our room was visible from where I sat, and found myself just watching it as though I was
EVELYN's pov"Your vital signs are good, your blood count is normal, and all the wolfsbane is finally out of your system." The doctor announced a couple of days later.In truth, I was feeling a whole lot stronger. As long as I didn't overdo it, I suppose."Does that mean I can go home now?" I asked and the doctor nodded happily."You most definitely can. Although, I advise that you get as much rest as you can. It will be good for you and your baby, especially with the trauma you just passed through.""Yes, of course." I murmured and turned to Dominic. He was watching me softly, and I could tell he was glad I was finally going home. "finally.""Finally." He said smiling and turned to the doctor, "Where can I sign the discharge forms?""Ah yes." The doctor replied and reached within his note book for the discharge papers. "You just need to sign on the bottom of the paper and hand it over to the receptionist on your way out."Then the doctor turned to me. "Don't forget, enough rest.""I
LIAM's povAfter leaving the hospital, I made my way back to the pack house, and went to the dungeons where Amanda was being kept.After seeing the state Evelyn was in, I needed to make sure that Amanda was actively miserable for what she put Evelyn through."You." Amanda spat when she saw me through the gates of her cell. Her voice was coarse and her eyes were heavily lidded from lack of rest. She looked gaunt, pale and very unstable."Yes, me. How are you holding up?" I asked, my voice unusually chipper, and by the way he contorted her face, I could tell my attitude irritated her completely."Why are you here?" She asked, walking toward the door, her steps unstable. "DO you want to gloat about having me in here?"I shrugged lightly. "Gloating isn't really my thing. But I did come here to make sure you hate your life."She sneered at me."Why doesn't Dominic just kill me and be done with it? It's obvious you all hate the mere sight of me, why keep me here?"I walked away from the gat
Dominic’s POV Hours passed before I realized I was still sitting outside her room. The faint light under the door flickered as her father moved around inside. I’d already asked twice if I could see her and he’d refused both times. But when midnight came and I knocked again, he finally opened the d
Dominic’s POV The hallway outside Evelyn’s room was quiet. Machines hummed faintly on the other side of the door, and I could hear her father’s low voice speaking to the doctor. When he finally stepped out, he looked tired, older than I remembered.“Mr. Northwood,” I said, standing straight. “She’
Dominic's POV Vivienne’s smirk didn't falter. She sat on a chair and leaned back, crossing her arms like she owned the moment. “A hundred million dollars,” she said smoothly. “Transfer it to this account,” she added, sliding a small card across the table. “You pay me, and this… disappears.”She ta
Dominic’s POV Vivienne’s voice still echoed in my ear long after the call ended. Compromising material on Evelyn? Lies, of course. But lies could spread fast if I didn’t shut them down properly.I stood for a moment in the quiet of my office, letting the anger in me settle. She wanted a reaction.
