We had just escaped a battle despite having enough gunpowder to blow up an entire ship.I imagined what our fate would be if we were up against an entire fleet. Who was going to fight and protect what was ours? I have to fight for her safety and make sure she doesn’t get hurt.“I know you don’t know what to say to me, Alpha Kieran, but I want to assure you that this risk isn’t worth the reward anymore. I know that this seal is worth a fortune, and if I return with it, I’ll get the value that would enable me to get a bigger ship and, not only that, a good payment for my crew members…”“Why do I have a feeling there’s a ‘but’ incoming?” I let out a sigh as he gave me a set of binoculars.“Those cliffs up ahead have a lot of monsters in them. Wolves that would stop at nothing until they sink our ship and take what belongs to us.”“How about we put out a cha
Kieran POVI disliked this man who’s standing as our captain. I think he has his eyes set on Lyra, and she doesn’t know it yet, or she might even know but pretend not to see my reaction.I asked a question, and both parties went mute, as if they weren't having a conversation before I stepped in.“How far are we?”“We have two days left on this trip, and we’re heading into the most dangerous part of the sea. It’s way past midnight, so we ought to be ready for any obstacle that tries to block our way.”“Do you think Alpha Harry is still following us?”“If a ship were following us, I’d have seen it, but no one is following us. Whoever that man is might have another route because this is the shortest route to your destination.” He divulged before leaving the steering wheel for me to hold.“At my call, you’re going to make a hard right. Give that wheel your whole strength…” he paused and turned to his crew members along with my men.I told them to follow his orders because he’s the one who
84Crystal POVI didn’t respond to his remarks about how he saw me in his arms. I was in a coma, and he was only trying to do his best to make me return to the land of the living, but Kieran is meant to do that and not Sir Phillips.“There’s always a day in life where you’d have all that you want at your feet, and you’d never say a word to anyone on what your decisions are.”“What are you insinuating?”“I’m only here for a particular period of time, and once it expires, then it’s all over for me. Olivia and I would return with the remaining part of my payment and invest in stocks.”“We’re not discussing stocks here…”“That’s always been my wish, and I’m hell-bent on making it a reality.” My voice was shrill, yet Kieran wasn’t letting me out of his sight.As soon as I finished the meal, he stepped out with the plates and returned with a jar of wine and two cups.“I think you need wine to soothe everything…”“I never asked for wine.” The moment I said those words, I heard a long growl t
Crystal POVWhen his crew members were drawing the ship hooks and I saw the distance between me and the shore increasing, I felt relieved that we were getting closer to meeting Alpha Jayden."Sir Phillip.""The prettiest lady on the sea speaks my name yet again. It feels good listening to that voice of yours." He let out a compliment, thinking that I wasn't married to Alpha Kieran. It made me realize that he thought Kieran was married to Valeria."What did you just say?" I wasn't surprised when Kieran started speaking like he was meant to hurt the captain of the ship."I just complimented the lady. You're with your lady, so what's your business with this lady as well? Are you married to both ladies?""What's wrong with your head?" Kieran roared as Olivia held him back and stood between him and the captain."She's married to him, while this lady here is desperately seeking an audience with someone whom she lost to my best friend here. Does it explain everything now?" Olivia patted his
Crystal POVI hated that he was doing this, making me feel bad because I think he's interested in her, which makes it obvious that he still has his eyes set on her.I never knew he would agree to fight alongside that ungrateful lady. Her father might be the one behind this, and if I eventually find out that he's part of this...Valeria, you're going to be an orphan.Queen Elyah left while we waited for Valeria. She returned with a guard who led us through a rough path leading to the shore. The grass was almost taller than me, so I had to keep my eyes and ears open to avoid snake bites."This is my stop. Safe trip." He turned back and entered the grass that we had just escaped.I shoved my hand into my pocket to bring out the seal, but it wasn't there."Where's the seal? We need it now." I shoved my other hand into my other pocket and found out it was empty. The seal was missing, and I knew it must have fallen off within that grassland."Don't tell me you lost the seal!" Kieran was pra
Kieran POVI was shocked when I saw that Olivia was making her way to the room where she thought we'd be because it was more like the only shade aside from the place meant for the leaders to stay, which was where the Alpha of this hellhole stood and watched Lyra and his wife train."I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but Alpha Harry is here, and I don't know if you want to see him.""Do you think he knows that we're here?""I don't think he knows that because he just walked into the pack as a guest, and I made sure he didn't see me. The Queen refused to tell him that we're in her pack as visitors.""Why would she do that?" Lyra asked Olivia as she raised both of her hands in the air, acting dumb toward the question because she had no answer."I don't think he's here to see us. I have this feeling that he might know something about the program she told me about.""So what do we do now that he doesn't know that we're here with him in this pack?""Get the guards, we're leaving. G
Crystal POVHow dare he kiss a lady in my presence? If he wants to have her, he can have her for all I care. I’m here for the money,y so this shouldn’t be a problem for me, but I feel hurt and can’t explain why the scent of her lip gloss pissed me off and stopped me from kissing him. “Calm your ne
Kieran POV What’s he doing here? I never knew Alaric would show up again. He wants to be everywhere I am, trying to create a fuss that no one is seeing. I knew Lyra was worried when she saw him because he’s the reason why she left that day, but I was surprised when she held my hand and danced wit
Crystal POVOpening my eyes and feeling the warmth of his arms around me is the best feeling ever. He waited for me to wake up before he stood up from the bed because I could see how he wrapped me in his left arm and used his right hand to press his phone.“You’re awake, my princess. How’s your sle
Kieran POV“Take us to a spot where you’re sure there would be no reporters. I just want to have a meal and head back home. Do you understand that?” I leaned my back on the leather seats, trying to get a hang of everything that was happening. I don’t like the fact that my father compared Valeria t
