ALPHA MICAH'S POVWaking up that morning to a guilty feeling was not how I had anticipated that my morning would be going. I had this feeling within me that I had been hurting Farrell and worst of all was that I had paid him no attention. These days, he no longer showed up for family meals and even when I had gone to his room once during his gaming time which I knew he would never actually miss, he had not been present. Clearly, the pain of losing his mate to me must have been overwhelming and I had the good feeling that he was keeping away because of me. The bond between mates was something that could not be hidden easily and I knew that should he and Ira be at the same table, it would spell doom for me and jeopardize all my plans. Farrell was actually doing me the greatest honor and favour by not showing up and all I need do was to repay him. I came down for breakfast that morning and had met the others already seated. Mariah and Ira were at one side while Zel whom I always insiste
FARRELL'S POVYet again, I would not be joining them for breakfast as this morning I had lots of things to do. It was not like I had any plans of joining though but at least I had an excuse for myself at this time which was that I had to get rid of the scent of Ira before Micah or someone else who should not finds out that she had been anywhere close to my room. I could not afford for her to get into trouble by any means because of me but I certainly wished somewhat that Micah would change his mind and let me be with my one true mate. You should agree with me that we werewolves do not actually get a second chance at this thing.This morning when she had left earlier, I had to start spraying the entire corridor with the hiding scent just to keep the fact that she had been here a secret. I had to sniff around the entire corridor area until I was certain that I could not catch her scent anymore. Either way, I was left with spraying my bedroom which I found hard as memories of what had tr
ALPHA MICAH'S POVI seriously could not believe he had put his hands on her and I turned abruptly to face him now. I was angry and it was only a matter of time before I would turn this into a fully blown attack."Still waiting on you to introduce her to me, Micah." My uncle said.My eyes fell directly on his hands which he had on hers and I felt the compulsion to send him a warning."Get your paws..." I began when the door opened.Alright, was fate combating against me right now or something. Why on earth was he here for breakfast at a time like this when my watchful uncle was present. It was risky really because it would be a matter of moments if this two lose control as with the last time and show that they were each other's mates. I necessarily had to come up with a swift back up plan.I quickly hugged Farrell and then inquired from him on why he was missing out on our meals"Farrell has been skipping breakfast?" Connor suddenly asked like he was actually concerned.One thing to be
IRA'S POVThe most nervous I had been in my entire had to be today. Not even the time at the slavers could have driven me into such a scary frenzy because of I had no words to describe how exactly I felt at the moment.The lady Mariah had returned to come get me out of the abundance of love which she felt towards Farrell. I felt like I was the problem between them as it was quite clear that she loved him so much. I was the third party here and she had known him right before I did. I was so guilt stricken when I realized that she had come to help us yet again that for a long while after I had started walking away with her, I actually could not say a single word. I had never been more tongue tied than I was right now.She moved with me all the way to my bedroom and when we got there, she entered before me and asked that I lock the door behind me. I was pensive about what was coming as I realized that she had been in my room before now. A lot of thoughts were going on through my mind as
MARIAH'S POVIf being luck itself was a person then I should bag the title.I had finished with Ira and retired to my bedroom and laid down as I kept wondering if I had done the right thing by giving up on the man I love. Clearly, I was not happy and sincerely I found it really hard to sleep. There was no need to do away with the scent of Farrell on me knowing well enough that he was my cousin and that did not bother Micah at all for he could bet on the fact that Farrell would never compromise his morals and lay with his sister. I felt upset that I was helping the man I love willing to keep his secret with another woman when I could easily ruin their relationship with a single tell tale to my brother. However, I reminded myself that I was not going to be a monster here. From childhood, I believed in fairy-tales and the fact that no one should consciously destroy what fate has tried to put up together. It was something that should not be opposed and seeing now how fate had handed Farr
ALPHA MICAH'S POVSeeing Ira wearing the same clothes she had been wearing a the day before was actually disheartening for me as I could not imagine why my woman would be dressed shabbily. I had been surprised also when she had a shawl wrapped around her neck that morning as I suspected that something might have happened to her dress. Hence, when Connor was done with his madness, I realized that I needed to take her shopping myself. That was actually when my sister demanded to know where we were going. I thought about taking Zel but the lady whom had rushed her meal was done and off for training leaving the rest of us at the dining hall to finish up. Besides, of what use and point is taking Zel going to make. There would be no difference either so I decided against it. It certainly would be preferable if it was someone else who loved fashion and all it's embodiments. Someone like my dear sister, Mariah.However, I could not help but notice the cold strain between she and Farrell when
ALPHA MICAH'S POVAlthough she was in our midst, I noticed how damage Ira seemed as we stepped outside. I would not blame her either. All her life, she had grown up locked in a cage and all alone. It was no wonder now that she was acting all timid and scared like a little puppy. Ira was something else but I did not judge her for her situation. Instead, I found it amusing and great also. I realized that this was her first outing from the moment she had arrived here till date and I felt like a tyrant that had been harbouring a woman against her will. I sincerely was hopeful that she was not thinking of me as one though.I had asked them to get ready and meet me by my car by eleven am as I needed to make some arrangements. I could not let us be disturbed by other shoppers and I sure as hell needed to make a reservation for the period of time we would be there. I would also not want a repeat of what had happened the other time Mariah had forced Farrell and I to take her shopping. She had
FARRELL'S POV"Need someone to train with?" I suddenly asked her.I had been there watching her for sometime now without her noticing and I had seen her pouring out her frustrations on the punching bag. I felt for the bag as this was not it's fault. If there was anyone needing punching at this point, it would be Micah who's desire was creating a loophole of confusion for everyone. I mean, if there was something I had noticed with his lady fighter, it was the fact that she was doing all she could to please him and that attitude was simultaneously associated with the bigger four letter.L.O.VEClearly, Zel felt something for him even though she would continuously hide it behind a stronger and harder countenance. She might have everyone fooled but certainly not me. When I had decided to pop up during breakfast that morning, I could not help but notice how very broody she was and how she had channeled it to her meal like her entire existence depended on finishing her meal. Clearly, she co
