เข้าสู่ระบบKNOX'S POV I kept my gaze fixed on Dax for as long as I can remember. Not because he got the best face, or I found something interesting in his eyes, but because I couldn't bring myself to look elsewhere.Not at Sable and certainly not at the roaming figures around the Den. It was going to be a bit troubling since I now understood why everyone had their eyes on us. I'd mistaken it for something else, probably everyone couldn't take their eyes off me because they found out I beat up the Alpha to pulp and I was right out here walking around freely. I never knew it was something much worse than that. Hearing Dax speak shoved a needle right into my chest, this wasn't supposed to happen. No one was supposed to know, at least not until we got out footing. “Seems like you both are in some kind of a shit hole.” Dax said out in a mocking tone, suddenly bringing me right back into the room. I turned to look at him, he had a mischievous grin on his face. The type you have when you do s
SABLE'S POV Knox was trying to head back to Ysoria's chamber after he found out that I got shaken up a bit by her, but I wouldn't let him. He didn't care she'd found out the child wasn't her grandson, all he cared about was making sure whoever did this to me had a taste of their medicine. I wasn't okay with that, Ysoria had a valid reason anyways. No one would be excited to find out their son's wife was having a baby for someone else. So maybe this would be the only time I would agree with Ysoria's actions. “You have to let it slide you know?” I mummured before freeing Knox's hand and walking off. “You wouldn't be out of the cell if she hadn't spoken with Alpha Bryn.” I added. Knox frowned in confusion. Clearly, no one would expect Ysoria to be of help in any given time or situation. “Alpha Bryn was willing to let you rot in there.” I added. “Yeah well. Obviously.” Knox muttered. He hastened his footstep until he was right in front of me, and then he furrowed his brow to lo
KNOX'S POV In the next few hours that I remained in the dark dungeon filled with a stench I couldn't get used to, I couldn't sleep a wink and I remained restless until day break. I couldn't even bring myself to sit on the bare muddy floor. I remained standing, pressing my face against the iron door as though I could catch a glimpse of the outside if I did so. My feet also had grown so numb, but that wasn't enough to make me seek comfort in a place like this. All I wanted was to know Sable was fine. The guards had disappeared shortly after throwing me into the dungeon, but I was quite sure they didn't do just what I'd instructed them to do. No one would actually listen to the words of a prisoner would they?How quickly respect could be withdrawn.I paced around the cell completely restless, and at some point I began seeking the presence of the soldiers. Weren't they instructed to torture me? Why weren't they trying to do their job?All I wanted was someone who would pass by br
ALPHA BRYN'S POV I threw myself into the bed the moment Sable slammed the door behind her. She'd really tied me down to a spot, and that was fucked up. I never would have let Knox go, or maybe just not now considering mother had made it clear that killing him right now would only drag so much attention to ourselves. I was gonna leave him back there for maybe a day or two. It was only right he paid for what he did to my face. Either way, he's gonna pay with his life in the nearest future, but I hated the fact that Sable had to tamper with my decisions. I hated that I wasn't discreet enough when I said those words to mum. I only acted out of impulse and now I would have to pay for that. “Shit!” I spat out, upon realizing how fucked up the situation was. I roughed my hair up in frustration as I kept my gaze away from mum. I was quite sure she had her eyes on me, quite sure she was wondering what kind of an idiot I was. Well, I was wondering too. I should have known Sable wou
SABLE'S POV Hearing Alpha Bryn ask that question made me let out a loud sigh of relief. I was finally being given the platform to state my demands. A smile slowly crept on my face, one which disappeared the next second once Ysoria spoke. “Shut the fuck off Bryn, we are not letting this peasant walk over us.” Ysoria interrupted almost immediately. Alpha Bryn walked hastily and impatiently towards his mother and slowly lowered himself right in front of her. “Well, this peasant is about to ruin all of our lives!” She mumbled impatiently.“Your life you mean. I would be perfectly fine with or without her little scheme.” Ysoria said nonchalantly as she rolled her eyes off from me. “Let's see how that is going to end up when she stands right in front of the council members and says those words to them.Ysoria paused once again. She always had a way to get out of every mess, and she was probably trying to come up with yet another way. She looked away almost immediately, a disappoint
SABLE'S POV I threw Ysoria's door open as I walked in filled up with confidence. I had a smirk on my face and judging by the look on theirs, they could tell exactly what had just happened.It wasn't my intention to eavesdrop on their conversation, I'd initially walked away completely, but I couldn't stay away much longer.I thought of going over to see how Knox had been for the past one hour, but I couldn't bring myself to do that. At least, not without the help I'd promised. I know he'd warned me to stay away from Ysoria's chamber and might probably find a way to hold me back if I return to him with my cheek now marked with Ysoria's palm. Exactly why I couldn't go back. Instead, I roamed around in front of the Den's courtyard for what felt like forever. It was already day break by now, and watching pack members and servants stroll back and forth only made me a bit more restless. I returned to Ysoria's chamber shortly after and then I thought to knock, but I held my fist into
CHAPTER 4: ComplicationsSable's POVThe air vanished from my lungs the moment I met his eyes.. It wasn't just his size though he was enormous. It wasn't even the inhuman, gold-flecked glow in his eyes, though that was seriously freaky. It was the sheer crushing weight of his presence that hit me
~SableBefore I could even process the noise.. the room was full of them... large grim-faced men in suits that did nothing to hide their thick necks and rude attitudes.I gasped, scrambling upright and clutching the soft white sheet to my chest. It was the only thing between me and total nudity.“W
~SableUp close with the stranger, the shadows melted away and my bravado almost did too.Holy shit..!The man was… fucking handsome! Like, stop-your-heart-and-then-kick-it-into-overdrive handsome. He was older, maybe early forties with little crinkles at the corners of his eyes that suggested he’
~Sable“Sable! You get your scrawny ass back here, you little fucking shit! What the fuck are you up to now!”The scream rang far behind me into the night as I ran.The night was harshly cold with the cold air filling my lungs at every gasp but it was nothing compared to the sound of Corvin’s voice
