Hayden pov"Where is Lucien?" I asked Peter, and immediately I came out of the hospital."At your office, he is going through all the surveillance cameras, but there seems to be a problem," he said."What problem?" I asked him immediately because I did not want any excuses; I just wanted to tear anyone who ever did this lamb by limb."He did not say, and I can't question him," Peter replied.With anger coursing through my body, I broke into a run. Arriving at my office, I stood outside and listened to Lucien barking orders."Someone tampered with the camera; among the servants, get all of them to the underground cell and get Melinda. I will inform the Alpha, and we will join you guys at the cell.""The Alpha is here. No need to call me," I said, opening the door.Lucien dropped the phone and stood up from my seat. "Alpha Hayden, I was about to call you.""I know. What have you learned?" I said, and the guard bowed and ran out."Come see for yourself," he sai
Cecelia povAna was sitting down, sipping her drink, and going through a document, but I was walking around as if I could die, and I could die if Hayden found out what I did. He was suddenly so protective of her since he found her again. "Sit down and be calm; nothing is going to happen. You are giving me a headache," she said, rolling her eyes."Sit down? Be calm?" I asked her, making sure I mimicked her voice to show her how ridiculous it sounded. "I can't sit down or be calm because I might lose my head anytime soon.""You wouldn't, and if you are so afraid of losing it, why would you then plan something like that without allies that could help you?""Um.....h..... I did not know that there were other people interested in this too. You look like you would not hurt a fly and only yell at it, so I did not think that you would approve of my plan."She smiled and stood up. "I will take that as a compliment. It is better than being called a psychotic killer. But a
Hayden povWhen I arrived at the prison, I could not believe what my eyes were seeing—two dead bodies and my guards, who were looking guilty. Lucien was looking at me like I was going to explode, and truly, I was close to exploding. Someone was in my pack, doing as they wanted, poisoning my twins and killing two people in my dungeon.I took two steps towards Melinda, whom I left in charge since I sent Lucien to go do something, and the rest to my house and the seer's, She backed away from the wall, but she did not say a word because she knew that begging me would piss me off."Talk," I commanded."I kept torturing them, then the lights started having problems, and I was still trying to know what happened when one of the girls started panicking. I called for water, and a guard gave it to me, but then there were some snacks on the table that had a note that said dinner, and because we were hungry. I took a bite, and so did the rest of the men, and then my eyes sta
Hayden PovI hated feeling like this; I was always in charge of everything happening around me, but somehow in just two days I had not felt like that. First, it was the poisoning of the twins; now it was killing two suspects from my dungeon, but it was not just that; this person could infiltrate my cameras, go into my house, and do all that, yet I did not know who the person was. I was feeling incompetent, which was an emotion I hardly associated myself with. I needed to find out who the person was before he tried anything again; this time, he might even decide to go after my mate too.My phone started to ring, and I grabbed it. Checking to see if it was a business call because I was not in the right frame of mind to be talking about business, I might tell someone off if they said something stupid and lose money, but it was my mate, Lex, who was mad at me and blamed me for what happened."Hello Lex," I said sweetly, but I heard her hiss."Aren't you done w
"That's a lie; I want you, and I love you," he replied, then kissed my hair while I kept trying to swat out my tears. I was ruining his shirt, but he did not seem to mind.He just kept clutching me and rubbing my back, making me feel a bit good, but then I heard the door close, but I was too hurt to find out who it was. "I don't doubt it because a witch we saw on the road a long time ago called me Healer, but I did not understand what she was saying, and now I am being told the same thing: How can she do this to me?" I lamented while batting tears."Let it all out. Stop holding back," he told me, and then I remembered what he did.He was one of the people who did not want me, at least not outside the bedroom, so I pushed him off."What?" He asked trying to draw me close but grabbed my hand back."Sorry for ruining your shirt; I don't have any money that isn't yours, but I will make sure to buy you the same one when I go shopping," I said, then turned to where Heaven was sitting, but
"Thank you for saving my boys; thank you for everything," I said, hugging Heaven.She smiled and said, "I did not save them; the moon goddess did. I will send you other books I have on the white witches as soon as I get back.""Thank you so much. I feel so indebted to you. Please take the check."She shook her head. "No, I did not solve all of your problems; I only saved the twins. Although I wanted to, the moon goddess wants you to solve it yourselves.""What you did was the most important one. I would have died without my twins, but thankfully you brought them back to me. So take it," I said, and I tried to shove the check into her hand, but she grabbed her hand back."No, sorry, I cannot take it. You have already taken care of me, and I enjoyed my stay in your pack. I cannot take more from you," she replied."Don't you take money from other people? So why is ours different?""Well, yours is different because I did not get all the work done," she replied.We have been arguing about
When we reached back home, I opened the door a bit and took a peek, claire was running around with the twins while Lucas sat on the chair looking at them."Come join us, grumpy ass," Claire taunted, then slapped her mouth."Don't say that, baby; that is a bad word," she told Lily, and Lucien started laughing."I see you guys are having a good time," I said and moved in. Hayden got in too, and sat down opposite Lucien then started discussing with him.Elijah and Lily ran to me, and I hugged them immediately."Thank you for looking after them", I said and she smiled."That isn't going to save you from me, how could you not tell me I was busy making dishes in Lucien's house while my babies were poisoned?"Didn't Lucien tell you?"She shook her head. "No, he did not. He gave me the excuse that he did not want to worry me, but I am still going to get him for that. Now tell me everything that happened from the beginning, or I will shave your head off.""No need to threaten me; I need someon
"Lex, you will be late if you keep wasting time." I heard Hayden scream, and I rolled my eyes."I am not playing around; I am redoing my makeup; this one is starting to sweat," I said, but if anybody who knew me well heard my voice, they would know that I was lying.I was nervous. Alpha Joe, who was rarely home, had come back two days ago and said that he was going to be at my Luna training today. On the last day of the training, you are allowed to invite people if you want because it was mostly doing the last task and reviewing the past results.I was sure that Hayden had told him about me being a healer because he came in with some books on the white healers and told me that his father got them. I wanted to bite his head off for telling his father about me, but then I realized that he was still his father despite everything.It has also been two days since I read the book on white healers. It narrated my family as a sort of special being that can heal almost everything, even if it i
