George's POVI knew that she might not remember, but hearing it from her makes me feel very uncomfortable. I had been unable to sleep well because each time I closed my eyes, the memory of how I had taken her lips would flash in my head, lingering and refusing to fade.The sensation of having my cold lips on her warm ones and the contradictory feeling felt so surreal that I couldn't stop my mind from recalling the process.I never knew what it meant to have your heart skip multiple beats until that moment when I tasted the sweetness of her lips.And, damn me, I was addicted. As soon as I walked into the guest room, the first thing that caught my eye was her swollen and red lips. Even though I was angry at the fact that someone dared to spike her drink under my nose, I couldn't help but be grateful because it allowed us to share a kiss I wouldn't dare to do normally. 'Just admit that you are a pervert. You almost did the deed last night.' Raine snorted, interrupting my thought proce
Kyra's POV I hurriedly stood to my feet, scanning the environment with sharp eyes, and the women also stood up after me. They took their weapons and took a defensive stance as they quickly moved towards me without a word.The shadows flashed past, and my face turned cold. My eyes narrowed towards the darkened woods, but after that momentary and barely perceptible movement, it was quiet.“Did you see that?” I whispered to Violet, who was beside me.Violet glanced up, her eyes wide with bafflement. “See what?”I frowned, lowering my voice. "Something is moving in the forest. Did you not see it?”Violet shook her head without hesitation, “No, I did not see anything, and I'm certain the others didn't as well. We only stood up because you shouted. What is it? A wild animal?”They didn't see anything? But I was certain that I saw something. I gave my reply, “Bigger than a wild animal.”Violet's expression also turned slightly solemn, and her hold on the blade she was holding tightened.“S
Kyra's POV Even though the women were excited, they became exhausted after defeating the boar; unused to the sudden change in environment, the weight of supplies and the long trek had weighed on them.But I knew they would get used to it in no time.“As I said, we will set up here,” I repeated, seeing that none of them was making any move.Without glancing at them, I dropped the bag strapped to my shoulder and began to arrange my stuff. That was when something suddenly occurred to me, and I stopped.I turned around and glanced at the women who had been oddly quiet since I spoke up to see them whispering among themselves with confusion in their faces.When they felt my gaze, they quickly kept quiet and began to drop their bags. But still, they only dawdled around without doing anything. My conjecture was finally confirmed, and I spoke up gently, but loud enough for everyone of them to hear, “Can you set up a tent?”This time, they were slow to reply, and I got my answer They glanced
Kyra's POV The five of them raised their heads at the same time, parting their lips to speak. But when they met my gaze, they could only lower their heads and take a step back.The others glanced at them and then at me, but did not make the move to plead for them.These people had already begun to understand my personality, and that made me satisfied. Of course, I wouldn't allow the five female warriors to follow me. Who knew what Diana had told them to do again? I wouldn't want a spy to be among us just when I was training. "Have you prepared everything?” I asked calmly, staring at them while clutching the straps of the leather bag I was carrying.I intentionally did not tell them what to prepare because I wanted them to make the decision themselves. During a battle, you only have yourself to worry about. No one will have time to remind you what to prepare, and if you prepare less, you'll only have yourself to blame.One of them, the one who had always been in the lead, Violet, sp
Kyra's POV“No.” Came my curt reply. I glanced at him, taking in the manner in which his bright eyes dimmed and how he clenched his fists, before averting my gaze.I knew that he wouldn't be able to punish Diana, but I still felt slightly disappointed. When I woke up this morning, I asked the maid, and she told me how Harley has been punished and excluded from punishment towards Diana.Definitely, Alpha George did not do anything to her even after knowing the truth.Although I was unable to control what I did last night, I could still remember what I heard and did.Of course, I also remembered the kiss with Alpha George. How could I forget it?It was our first real kiss, but it might really be our last.Alpha George wasn't ready to accept me, and he wasn't ready to let Diana go as well. If I remain quiet, he might really not make a decision soon, and I can't wait for that.“I can't remember anything,” I added, pretending to be in a daze. “But I heard what happened from Smith.”Actual
George's POVThe room fell into strange silence as all eyes fell on me.I added while gnashing my teeth, “The drug given to her could have killed her or hurt her wolf if her foundation and constitution weren't strong. What you did could be considered an attempted murder, and I can't allow that to go just like that.”Harley had her head lowered, unable to reply. But Diana already had her fist clenched, and I decided to add another sentence. “Apart from stripping you of your status in the pack, you will be given thirty lashes of barbed whip as well.”After that, Diana could finally not take it anymore and quickly refuted, “Alpha, that is unfair. That is too much.”I turned to her and said, “Then, what do you suggest? Don't forget how Miss Kyra's reputation was almost ruined because of what was added to her drink. What if I leave Miss Kyra to decide the punishment for her?”Diana gritted her teeth, “George, Harley is one of my people; I won't just allow you to strip her of her position
