Jude’s POV
“Let’s go check on her!” whined Elijah for the millionth time.
“Stop it! I’m not going yet. It’s early” I scolded him.
Ever since I left the room, six hours ago, Elijah has been nagging at me non stop.
“She’s in pain Jude! Have some fucking compassion!” he growled.
“Yeah? She should have that of that before lashing out and refusing to submit to me! She deserves some pain. Maybe that will remind her to keep her mouth in control and disobeying me again” I said in satisfaction.
“You are so cruel… and selfish! She’s not used to having an alpha. She has been living packless and trapped in one place for the past eighteen years. She was already being controlled by her mother without even knowing why. She doesn’t want to be forced by anyone again, not to mention her complete suspicions of your intentions for her!” snarled Elijah ac
Jude’s POVI arrive into my living quarters just as one of the servants was leaving a trolley with dinner on it outside of the door, like I instructed.This time it was a dinner for two. Both of us already skipped lunch and I barely had anything at breakfast.Feeding my prisoner once a day wasn’t going to raise a lot of suspicions. It just means I’m keeping her alive to prolong her torment.I open the main door into my place, get the trolley inside, and lock the door with my key.It was another precaution to make sure we’re not being spied on.“Come on, come on, move already!” Elijah was complaining in agitation, practically drooling just to catch a whiff of her addicting scent to satisfy his hunger for her.I roll my eyes and make my way towards my bedroom.I open the door without looking at her, bring the trolley inside next to the small dining table, and close the door.I finally tu
Davina’s POVWith just one confession, he changed my entire plan, my entire feelings, my entire perception of him.Rowena was beyond the moon after hearing that he finally started to care about us and no longer resisted the mate bond. That he wanted to accept us as a mate and stand by our side.While I, I was still stuck on the prophecy he just told me about.I was their downfall and destruction. Not just him, but his entire pack.No wonder he hated me so profoundly at the beginning. I hated me much more now.How many lives am I worth?Just for being the violet eyed werewolf.Just for having an ultimate weapon I know nothing about and nothing on how to even use it.I had already caused my mother’s death and got my sister taken, goddess knows how much she was suffering right now because of me.And now he wants to lead his own pack down that deadly path, take himself, and fulfill that sick twisted prophe
Davina’s POVWe settled back down on the chairs after the submission ritual. I had no idea how he was going to react when he hears about his beta. He is going to flip out. But I didn’t want him to ruin everything in a fit of anger and kill his beta right away, that might end up disastrous for Irena. I wasn’t even sure that his beta was alpha evil’s spy in the first place. “You’re scared” Jude’s voice interrupted my train of thought. He wasn’t asking, he was trying to read the emotions on my face. “I am” I said in a low voice. If his own beta was working against him, goddess knows who else is not loyal to him, who else is going to betray him because they are trying to get to me through him. “Of me?” he asked tightly. I looked up at him and saw him dreading my answer. I could tell how guilty he feels for everything he put me through. But forgiveness doesn’t come that easily to
Jude’s POVI was standing in front of the glass wall, gazing at the dark forest, gazing without actually seeing anything as I was still trying to register everything Davina just dropped on me like a bomb.My mind was racing trying to understand how my own beta could have the nerve to work against me.It’s true I never felt closer to him because he was very much older than me, I always confided in Ian first then went to him for advice later, he wasn’t the one I always went to for problems, but that doesn’t give him the right to work with my enemy to end me.The servant James was understandable. He was a weak old man and he had family within that pack. Controlling him was very easy and guaranteed. But what was Robert’s reasons for doing this. Did he promise him my position?That must be it. Davina said he wanted to take down all the alphas and assign ones he trusts to be loyal to him.I clench my hands into tight
Davina’s POVMy father?Why does that word sound so foreign to me?It was like he spoke in another language.My mind refused to pass that information or process it.Probably because whatever he still had to say was going to tear me apart.I stayed frozen for many minutes staring at him with my face stricken, unable to form any coherent words to reply to him, while he; along with Jude and Ian, gave me all the time I needed to register what he just said.He was scared of my reaction, I could tell.Why though? That didn’t make any sense. For someone who left my mom, abandoned and rejected her, never contacted us even though apparently he knew of our existence unlike what my mom claimed, his fear of my reaction made no sense.All his actions implied that he never cared about any of us.Yet, I find him in my mate’s pack after all those years of abandonment, a beta with a lot of power and a good positi
Jude’s POV“Don’t say that Davina please! I love you so much please don’t…” Robert was openly crying in pain as he begged his daughter while she continued her vicious assault on his chest.I got up from my chair and approached them with Ian on the other side, ready to contain the situation but giving Davina and Robert a chance to reconcile.My mind was still reeling from the unexpected discovery of many things. But I didn’t have time to ponder over them right now.Right now all I could feel was the immense sense of betrayal and heartbreak seeping into me through the bond.Davina was hurting really bad and was channeling all that hurt into anger; which wasn’t the best outlet.“That’s not true, if you loved us you wouldn’t have walked away, no matter what!” she shouted at him in rage.“If you and mom told me the truth since the beginning, if I knew how much d
Jude’s POVI stayed awake for a long time after Davina slept.Not by choice of course, it was because my mind was running at a hundred miles per hour.The Prophecy Robert mentioned kept playing over and over again on repeat. Particularly the last line.‘The future alpha of the golden valley pack will be her salvation”I was her salvation and she was my downfall, could this get any more ironic?“What about the other one? About marking each other and sealing the mate bond? What do you think that’s all about?” asked Elijah curiously.Of course he would be stuck on that part. He was practically day dreaming of marking her ever since he laid eyes on her.“Can you blame me? I mean take whiff of her scent dude! It’s divine I haven’t smelled anything like it before. Tell me you don’t wish you could bury your head deep into that smell and never let go, I dare you” taunted
Davina’s POVThey were all looking at me like I just spoke in a different language or something.“Her what?” asked Jude with raised eyebrows and a small smirk I felt like he was really trying to hide.“Her….grimoire. You know like… a spell book where you write down all the spells you know how to do so that people like me can benefit from that. It’s called a grimoire… or at least that’s what the people from the vampire diaries call it” I explained awkwardly.Again… it felt like I spoke in another language as they all stared at me with confusion on their faces.I sighed in frustration and said “Never mind apparently there is no such thing”“No don’t give up right away, just because I’ve never seen her holding a spell book before doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Maybe it’s still in her room. I kept everything as it is after she di
