Samantha’s POV. It happened so fast. The man I saw as annoying turned out to be more than that. A beast in human skin. He forced himself on me. Life will go on. I had to leave his room shamelessly before he woke up. What will I call this on my neck? It’s a bite; it hurts, but somehow it doesn't. I examined it in front of the mirror. The beautiful dress I will be wearing was already laid out on my bed. "Enough of that; your beauty won’t be needed today." Cervantes appeared; he wasn’t the one who had his way with me, but I was mad at him. "You only show up when you need me, isn’t it?" "Reframe your words; we need each other; last time I checked, you wanted to get out of this place!" Yes, when a prey keeps returning to its predator, it's for a reason. I want to be free, so until then, I have to keep up with this. He did not even notice the scratch on my body or the bite on my neck. "I want an invite." His words surprised me. Cervantes declined an invitation. They made it clear wha
Herveaux’s POV"I’m sorry, Tala." Your safety comes first to me and every member of my pack. I ended the party abruptly. I knew what I saw. That werewolf I just killed There will be many of them."Not now, Lowell!" I stopped him before he started his drama. "You brought us here to humiliate us?""The party is not yet over; give us a reason for ending it." We are not kids. You can summon and disperse without any reason."Alpha Lowell has always been on my trail; he might as well get it from me today. "He is right, why did you call it end? Is there something we need to know?"Why would I say that I was still? I saw something strange. Or I just do not feel like going on with the party."Nothing! If sound rude to you. Then my apologiesI dragged Tala off the stage with me. The murmuring among the people was severe, but no one dared question me further.Tala loosened her grip on me in anger. I didn’t want to hurt her. If I held her harder with the anger I felt, I could break her arm."
Daciana’s POVThe other day after I left the store where Herveaux was sopping with Auriel, I went to meet Normani. I cared so much about the woman who might take my place in Herveaux’s life.Today, someone else might take the fall for what I did. It’s not my fault life was so cruel to me."Are you chickening out now?" Normani asked me. I let her inside Herveaux’s room. I also helped clean up and dispose of the werewolf, Alpha Herveaux killed."The first step has been achieved thanks to you, We need another thing, make sure Alpha Herveaux shows up for the bout tonight!""Will Derrick kill him?""No, he just wants what rightfully belongs to him." Normani shoved me aside and drew the cover."Here that’s your last straw, after this, until you fulfill your end of the bargain, you won’t be getting any antidotes from me," she blurted."It’s so bad to see you this way, love was your downfall!" Normani scoffed .My mother offered to help me, but my ego or is it the pain? One of them stopped me
Samantha’s POV.The pressure was getting worse. Alpha Herevaux returned to the stage and attacked his brother with words. All hell broke loose when he had an official invitation. This would be on me.I was shaking with fear. Would I not end up where I didn’t want to?What if I remained as a slave at the other mansion? Maybe I would have found a way to escape!It's all Cervantes; I don’t even know if all he told me was true all these while the only friends I had were Tala and Brenda.After Tala left angrily, I also excused myself from the place. "Brenda, I need to speak with you." I begged anxiously."What is it that urgent?" she replied curiously. "Yes, if you want to leave this place and go to the human world, what would you need?"I asked her gently but accurately. Brenda smiled briefly. "There is nothing great about the human world, just stay here, Auriel," she patted me."No, I just want to know." I guess I wasn’t convincing enough. She needed more before she would tell."I heard
Alpha Herveaux’s POV.That woman has always seemed fishy to me. Regardless I do not think she is capable of going against me. About her being human, I don’t smell it. Even the first day we met at the bar, I knew she was hiding something, and it was because she was my slave and nothing else.I am curious about who would dare break into my mansion. Just one day off, and everything is down. I hate myself for getting drunk.Beta Fernado was going to find out that Daciana was still in my room, that stubborn woman I told her to leave.Auriel was lying about something, I would find out soon after I got things straight. I had to send him to prepare a special cell for Auriel. Tala is going to hate me for sure."Come out, you two!" I shouted at them. "I thought I told you to leave!" I questioned her with a frown."I found out something and waited to let you know, it is important!" Daciaina said helplessly."Speak, and it better be worth it!"She looked at Auriel. "Excuse us!" she said rudely. "
Samantha’s POV"You are the human form that day, aren’t you? Your hair and eye colors are just different. I know it’s you!" Beta Fernando grunted as he pulled me along with him."The car crash and the fight with the lone wolf you humans were cut in, I know it all vividly. You are lying, and I will prove you wrong!" He pushed me forward into the room.I was expecting the prison to be some scary place with a bar. Nice luck it was just a small closet that was locked."Your time here is limited!" he left. "Auriel!" I heard a voice whisper my name. "Its me!" I looked around but couldn’t see anything. The strange creature I saw was all feigned, and I know Daciana lied too. "Who are you?" I was terrified."It’s Draglun; I came to help you." I was relieved it wasn’t the Vargulf or whatever Alpha Herveaux mentioned earlier.Alpha Draglun opened the door. "Give me your hands." I was reluctant, the way Alpha Herveaux spoke inside the room, I don’t think he wanted to kill me."Daciana sent me to
Alpha Herveaux’s POV"Tala….." I called as I knocked on her door."Go away, I don’t want to speak with you," she disagreed to seeing me."Should I force the door open? You are being too soft on Tala, Alpha Herveaux," Beta Fernando asked viciously."Don't break the door, she'll open," I told him. "Tala, Daddy would do anything okay. Remember, you still have your wish?"The door twitched, and she opened slowly. "Come closer." I hugged my little angel."Your father loves you okay," I told her. I made her feel comfortable again."Do I still get to make my wish?" she asked me delightedly. "Yes, and those two alongside anything you want," I added."I don’t want you to kill Auriel, father? She responded deftly. Beta Fernando growled slightly. He knows I wouldn’t want him to scare Tala."Concerning Auriel’s issue, can we deal with that later? I promise, I will do something about it" I professed. I held her close into my arms, bent down in front of her. "I need you to cooperate with me for
Daciana’s POVI'm glad I was able to snatch the necklace from her before it completed its glow. Locking faces with Alpha Herveaux, I spoke to him. I would fight for him, and I meant every bit of what I uttered.I took my last antidote already from Normani. If I wanted more, she would enslave me. It has to be today. The moon goddess has to choose me.I don’t regret anything I did in the past, from the beginning to the very end of it. Even if Alpha Herveaux finds out in the end, that I gave Derrick the invitation and allowed Normani inside the mansion, we would have been mated.That moment I dreaded that destroyed my life in the past, and that history might repeat itself once again here. Alpha Herveaux was to be mated to a Luna.My heart rate increased instantly, doubling by the second. Just shine your light upon me, moon goddess, I pleaded with a teary heart.It was decided, and it wasn’t me! With puniness, I ran out of the mountain. Keep going without stopping. I couldn’t tolerate the
