LOGINDave's POV:“Wait, did you just say you set the house on fire with Lyria in there?” Ariana asked, staring at me like she doesn't know the length I could go.I have come too far to give up on this. The baby in her womb, my pup, would have to be the next Alpha. That was all I have been living for.Being the Gamma's son is something I never wanted! I didn't ask to be born as an Alpha son when I could be the Alpha's heir. The same fate is what I won't let my pup carry.“If her death would make me the next Alpha, why should I hesitate?” I asked, closing the gaps between us.I reached for Ariana's waist, holding her firmly, our body pressed against each other. “Lyria was adamant. She would rather have me whip her to death than marry her.”“But when did she have a change of mind? Everything was going smoothly, babe. Or did you in any way provoked her? She even knew about us—”I did not allow Ariana go on with what we are obviously over. Not when the doctor said she needed not to be stressed
Azriel's POV:For a moment I felt lost in this, my hand cupping her face, my wolf reacting in excitement.Aiel has never been this excited when he hasn’t gone into hibernation.“I… I…—”“You don't have to be sorry,” I interrupted her before she could complete her statement.I don't know why she kissed me, and I don't care whatever the reason was. I am not supposed to indulge her.We made the reason we got married clear! And I didn't drive all the way from my pack down to Bluemoon for a five-minute kiss! Definitely not from someone like Lyria.All through the ride, I made sure not to look at her even though I was hearing what sounded like moans and the strong scents from her pheromones pulling me in.It was hard, but I eventually did it.I pulled over in the garage of one of the most secretive hotels. It was the hotel I stayed in on my arrival to the wedding I never knew was going to be mine.I opened the car, then arranged the suit jacket to cover her chest properly.Why is her skin d
Lyria's POV“Since she decided not to change her mind, set the whole place on fire.”My fingers dug into the ground as I recalled the instruction Dave gave earlier.After being flogged mercilessly, my skin bruised and bleeding, I still didn't give in. Not when I knew what my life would be like with him.This second chance given to me – I would rather die than meet the same fate.My heart raced the moment I caught a glimpse of fire through the window, a part of me desperately wishing this isn't how I was going to die. This isn't where I die.I have a father at the verge of death. I have a responsibility as the pack's Luna. I have to look for the person who tried to kill my father.My eyes stung with tears as pain coursed through my body, my heart shattered at the reality I was now facing.Dave was never the man I loved. He had always been a monster who wanted nothing but to marry me, the Alpha's daughter.It only became clear now.After several times trying to crawl out of the building
AZRIEL POV“With the silver wolf you are going to be powerful. Everything you needed would be all yours, Prince Luca.”I halted, standing at the entrance of my brother's room. Since my Beta was out of pack as well, he was the next person in charge.“Look for her! No matter what it cost me, I would pay,” Luca instructed the man who bowed down before turning to leave.He quickly hurried out the moment his gaze met mine. Luca, who just noticed my presence, has his gaze fixed on me.“I heard you got married,” Luca said. “I thought you were going to stay with your wife there since you and your Beta abandoned everyone and the pack’s affair to just me.”“Luca, I didn't abandon the pack,” even though it was of no use explaining to someone who sees me as nothing but a rival, I continued. “We need Bluemoon Pack's money to get everything we needed to sustain this pack. Our strong Gammas and guards won't give us—”“That is all the reason for you to give up, brother!” He half-yelled, staring at me
Lyria's POVMy heart raced, my body trembling as the car suddenly stopped.I tried to speak, to instruct the driver to drive, to speed off, but no words came out of my mouth when I opened it.“I… Pl… I…”I tried to force out the words when the driver dropped dead, a bullet hitting his chest through the broken glass, reminding me of how I died.The way I was pushed down, the broken glass, the metallic smell of blood oozing out of me...It made my chest tighten, finding it difficult to breathe. All I could do was stare at the driver who was bleeding like an idiot.“Get out!”My body moved, and before I realised what I was even doing, I was already out of the car, my body trembling as I glanced at the man whose face was covered, his gun pointed at my head.Goddess… Please help me… I am not ready to die…I have a dying father who needs my help. I have a pack who…Tears streamed down my face the moment I felt the man's slap on my face, my head spinning as I flashed back to how Dave slapped
Lyria's POVI remained silent at his question, not sure what to say.The only reason I decided to marry him was for survival. To escape ending up with Dave and meeting the same fate.I don't want to meet the same fate like I did in my previous life.“I—”“If you chose me because of the alliance deal, then you don't have to answer my question,” Alpha Azriel's voice echoed faintly before I could spew out the lies I could think of. “I would give you a free space, in case you need anything, I would be waiting in the guest room.”“Alpha Azriel, you didn't try to kill my father, right?” I asked before he could walk out of my room.If anything, I remember every version of him. The man he was on my wedding day, up until the year I bled to death.That man is capable of killing my father, especially if he were going to gain from it…Goddess… I can't let Dave's words mess with my brain.“Why would I do that? Wait, Wifey, do you believe him over me?”His question hit me hard. Before I could reply
Lyria's POVI slowly opened my eyes, my head hurting so bad as if someone…I quickly sat up, staring around the room I was in. The last thing I wanted was for all that happened to be a dream or to wake up in hell.I took in a deep breath after searching around the room, which was exactly my room. I
Azriel's POV:I inhaled deeply after I managed to pull her away. “Lyria, I am not going to touch you. Not this way!”I don't care if she was under the influence of drink, I can't do this. Not when I know how much she disliked me.Having her choose me in the very end after deciding to marry another
Azriel's POV“Take care of him! It must not exceed tonight!” A familiar voice made me turn. “If it exceeds today, I will make both you and your family pay for it!”I smiled faintly when my gaze landed on Dave from the corner where I stood. Given what he did to Lyria earlier, I wanted to snap his ne
Lyria's POV:My heart raced hard, my body shivering as I prayed desperately. I don't want to face the same fate… I don't want to misuse this second chance given to me.I snapped out of my thoughts at the sound of a punch. When I turned around, Dave was already on the ground.“Wifey, you are suppose
