MARTIN'S POV A video?! Why does this sound so familiar. "What?! What did Leo do to you if you don't mind my asking? Did he-""No!" She blurted out before I could finish. I didn't want to complete that statement in the first place, silently hoping it wasn't true ."No, he didn't! I'm glad he didn't." She said shakily, and I couldn't help but feel the pain seared through my chest, watching how hurt she looked.She must have been through a lot. I wondered what really went down that day...Thankfully, Leo didn't rape her as I thought. She paused and sucked in several deep breaths before she continued:"He tried to have sex with me but I'm glad it didn't go through....so a video was made and I was threatened that the video would go public if I didn't do as I was told. I had no choice. Before I could gather my thoughts together, I ran out. I was mortified, broken, and scared to death. "She paused as she bit her bottom lip frantically before she continued again."I wanted to run away an
CRYSTAL'S POVI was such a fool! How come I didn't realise that Alicia had been playing a trick on me all these while?! Xavier and Emily, my best friend, warned me, and yet I didn't listen because I wanted to give Alicia the benefit of the doubt for once. I had hoped that something good was going to come out of our friendship after she supposedly rescued me that day. Rescued? But come to think of it though...now that Martin had exposed the truth, what if Emily had been right that the whole idea about Alicia randomly showing up that day and most especially in the nick of time to save me, sounded so thought out and planned. What if Alicia also had a hand in that as well? She had insisted that Xavier get me a new bodyguard because she had been plotting to bring one here herself, which was Martin. How come I didn't see that coming?! I was so blinded to the fact that Alicia was turning a new leaf and wanted the best for me. What a fool I had been! Now, thanks to the moon goddess for swa
ALICIA'S POV Shit! Shit! Shit! As if things couldn't get any worse than it already was!Three days had passed, and I didn't hear a single word from Martin anymore. I had instructed Lucas to check on him in his quarters, but he was nowhere to be found. He didn't even report to work the following morning. So I had Lucas go to his bakcksmith shop discreetly to find out if he was there. But he wasn't....infact, until now we had no idea where he would have run off to.It's been a week and not a single word. What could have happened? If he had exposed my plans to Crystal or Xavier, I would have known by now. But something was strange. What did Martin do? He probably ran off somewhere. He was a spy, after all. It was easier for him to adapt.But damn it! I didn't expect my plans to be ruined. I invested so much into this, and yet I have nothing to show for it! What the hell was happening?! Did Crystal do or say to him? What really went down? I wouldn't be able to know when she tells me
CRYSTAL'S POV It's has been a lonely evening....a lonely day, in fact. Xavier was hardly around. He had been very busy with having ceaseless meetings with his uncle, and tonight, he had mentioned earlier that he won't be available until later in the night or early in the morning so I shouldn't wait up for him.I puffed out a deep sigh. He had been very busy these past few weeks. I heard the coronation was drawing to a close. No wonder the discreet meetings with his uncle have risen. He had been working so hard with little time to rest. I hoped he was doing okay? I had insisted earlier that he took today's off, but he wouldn't listen.I slid out of bed and headed to the balcony for the view and to get some fresh air. Maybe that would help me relax and sleep better. Lately, I've been finding it somewhat hard to fall asleep easier.I also wonder if Martin was doing alright ever since he went exiled. At any rate, it was way better than remaining here. Alicia would have made life a livi
LEO'S POVOh shit! This wasn't good! Crystal was going to be kidnapped. What if I was already too late. I didn't exactly hear everything that they said. But I knew something was off, and I was already too late by the time I got to Xavier's chambers. I came just in time to see two men clad in black clothes and a mask covering their faces, carrying Crystal after drugging her. They put her in a horse-drawn carriage.I tried to follow the carriage as discreetly as I could until they stopped at a cavern beneath a high mountain.Damn it, but even if I wanted to rescue her , I was outnumbered.There was no way I could make it at this rare. I would just end up getting myself killed.Then what do I do at this rate? This was a matter of life and death. Crystal was in dire danger. My mother and crazy girlfriend had completely gone bonkers! I needed to get Crystal out of there as fast as possible before things got out of hand.I had no idea what exactly the two women wanted to do to Crystal. H
CRYSTALIt was the morning of my eighteenth birthday - the most important day in my life, and the life of every werewolf. It was the day when I was most likely going to find my fated mate.I woke up with a splitting headache that morning and I stretched on the bed. I didn't bump into my roommate, Emily as usual and I opened my eyes, to see that she was not on the bed. That was strange, as Emily never rose up early.I stood up from the bed and changed out of my nightgown into my work clothes. Yes, my work clothes! It was my birthday, but who cared? I was just another dumb Omega meant to live the rest of my life working as a slave in the Alpha's chambers while waiting for my mate to come and claim me.As a girl, I had heard a lot of stories about the mating ceremonies - how the males claimed their mates with a bite on the neck, a kiss, or in some cases, mere words. I had always giggled in pure excitement when I heard those stories. Knowing that one day, I was going to feel the thrill of
CRYSTALAlpha Leo smirked at the confused expression on my face and he raised my chin up with his fingers. "Can you not feel the bond, Crystal?" He muttered.His voice was low and raspy, and his coffee brown eyes didn't leave my face for a second. "I - I - I can," I stammered. "But - ""No buts, Crystal," He hushed me. He was so close to me already. His body brushed lightly against mine; and his lips were barely a few inches away from mine.I swallowed hard as he inched closer and closer to me. My heart clenched tight in my chest and my wolf purred in my head. What I had been praying for my whole life was barely inches away from me, but I was scared. Would Alpha Leo, the soon to be Alpha of one of the biggest packs in the world claim me, a mere Omega as his mate?Alpha Leo took my hand in his, and our fingers intertwined."Follow me, Crystal," He said with a smirk. "I have something to show you."He didn't give me a chance to decide, because the next minute, he was already walking
CRYSTALI remained frozen to the spot. What was I going to tell her that I was doing there?"Are you deaf?" She growled. "What were you doing there?"She didn't wait to get an answer from me. She spun around quickly and pushed the door open before entering.As she walked into the room, I held my breath. If she caught Alpha Leo and Alicia together, they were definitely going to blame me for it, and I was going to be in a whole lot of trouble. My life was about to get even more complicated.A minute later, Luna Rachel came marching out of the room. Her face was twisted in a frown and she stopped right in front of me."Clean up that mess, whatever your name is," She snarled. "And if anyone hears a word of what went on there, I promise you that I would make life miserable for you in this pack."She stormed off in anger, and as soon as she was gone, Alpha Leo and Alicia came out of the room."You pig!" Alicia growled and grabbed me by the hair. "You were so jealous that you sold us out to
