Alison’s POVI didn’t know what to say next, so I went mute. I am the last person to try to cheer him up. I know he hasn’t forgiven me for how I used him; he’s only tolerating me because he’s responsible for my pregnancy. At least that’s what I think.“Can you keep talking? I need to be sure that you are okay,” he instructed, which I didn’t take kindly. Why was he driven by the constant fear that something would happen to me? Can’t he see that I’m fine?I poured some shampoo in my hair and made sure that I had massaged it into my scalp, as the warm water showered down on me, I thought of what to say.Yes about a Luna, is she that important? I had to ask him that.“You’ve served two terms in Moonlight County and you worked hard and did so much just to get Moonlight to be considered a county. Why will your people threaten to get rid of you just because you don’t have a Luna?”I could hear him giggle, “You seem to have done a lot of research on me.” After that he went quiet for a bit, a
Alison’s POVA sharp pain in my side woke me up, I groaned as I tried to sit up, and then I felt some strong arms around me helping me sit up. I wasn’t fully awake but that woke me up with a start. It was Ralph. “Are you okay?” He asked as I shifted away from his grasp.“What are you doing here?” I queried him.“Erm, I returned late last night and was informed that you had gone to bed. But I brought you new clothes….”New clothes? Who asked him to do all that? I’m attached to my old stuff so his announcement got me peeved, I would have punched him if I could.“What happened to my old things?” I demanded.“Nothing, I sat on the bed and looked at him, I could hear him purring calmly, and it seemed to tone down my anger.“I don’t want the people we know to notice your absence yet. I know my sudden relocation will raise suspicions. And some of these people will come after you to confirm if I moved in with you or not.”I didn’t understand him. Melody will notice my absence today when I do

Third Person POVAt the pack house, Melody rushed into Cory’s arms and wept as he comforted her. After she had whimpered and purred and wept for a while Cory helped her sit on the couch and sat in the seat adjacent to her in the parlor. He had lost count of the number of times he had comforted she-wolves because his father had broken up with them. It was like a monthly routine.For some weird reason he thought Melody would last but she ended up being dumped even before Alpha Ralph’s usual three-month probationary period.“What happened, what was his reason for leaving? Did you fight?” Cory interrogated her,Melody sat there with her shoulder slumped forward and her back bent, her eyes glued to the floor as if she were looking for something.“I had a confrontation with Alison at work. She has been absent for a while without proper explanation, making her friend cover her shift for her. At first I assumed she was sick but the last time I saw her, sh
Ralph’s POV“Before you think that Anne is behind the attacks look at this,” Mike said and swiped the screen to the next photo, where there was a picture of Melody and Lila on a yacht. Lila was the mate I rejected back on Belle Island, the rejection that led to my banishment. It looks like they were friends, which made it odd that Melody would date the wolf that rejected her own friend.I swiped next, and a man was standing next to Melody with his arms around her in this picture,“That’s Alpha Lucian, the one who is currently mated to Lila,” Mike informed me,If he’s mated with Lila, why were his arms around Melody? Did they date? What the hell is going on here?”“So what you are telling me, is that Lila stole her friend’s man and now they are married?” I asked Mike who nodded slowly, “Yes, Alpha,” he replied.Again, Melody came into my life for revenge, just like Alison did. It doesn’t matter what I do; these two ladies use me to achieve what they want.“Well, what has that got to
Ralph’s POVI’m a little relieved that Alison seems to be doing better and handling this whole thing better than Kate. Kate was sick the whole time and just when we thought she would get better, she died. Alison is okay, she even has the energy to be arguing with me and pissing me off. However, the possibility of her having more than one pup bothered me very much. I walked around with my heart in my stomach. I got back to Moonlight long before dark and started to pack up my stuff, Cory burst into my room and watched with a frown as I packed up.“Where are you going?”I looked up at him still racking my brains on the best lie to come up with.“Cory, I got attacked again, earlier this afternoon. I think that I need some privacy to figure out what is happening to me and who is behind this.”“What about Simon? What is he doing about all of this? What is taking him that long?” as he rhetorically questioned me, I stared at him and for the first time, I d
