Gianna POVI turned off the hot shower, dried off my skin, and put on a robe before coming out of the bathroom. This was the first time I had been in an expensive hotel in Silvernight Park. For as long as I can remember, I have only stayed at my depressing home and moved to the pack house after my engagement with Alpha Nathan. It's been so long.Axel's arms wrapped around me immediately. I was back to our room, "When are you going to stop locking the doors whenever you want to shower?" He asked in a mischievous tone. With what happened at Moonlight Pack, I'm sure that he had a lot on his mind. Carl was his brother, but he didn't want to talk about it. I hate how he always acts affectionately with me but creates a distance between us at the same time. It's as infuriating as his handsome face."Who's at the door?" Axel turned his attention to the door. Someone was knocking."Room service?" I use the distraction created from the knock to free myself from Axel. "It's your turn to go showe
Gianna POV"What am I going to do with them?" Axel asked softly."Who?" I questioned even though I knew who he was talking about. But I needed him to be more specific.Axel traced my finger with his hand, "Carl, Camilla, and Vera."Vera. I thought I had almost forgotten about her; yesterday a secret came out because of her involvement with Camilla."Hmmm... do you plan on removing Carl from his position as your beta?"Axel went still but gave me no answer. His silence confirms my suspicion that the thought must have crossed his mind."Leave Carl as the beta." I thought back to earlier this morning when I went to check on Camilla; the men under Carl were the ones responsible for interrogating Camilla. They were brutal with her and didn't care if she once held the position as luna in the pack. To my surprise, Carl wasn't lurking around his mother's cell to stop his men from punishing her. Axel had remained in the room; probably he wasn't ready to face Carl yet, finding out that he sudde
Gianna POVI moan into Axel's mouth as I tug on his hair, deepening our kiss, his hand snaking inside my shirt, finding my skin, undoing my bra.Axel was in a good mood today; I could tell from the way he kissed me with a devilish smile on his lips when he knew what he was doing to me. Most times when he was like this, I felt like this perverted man would be the end of me because his desires felt too much for me to handle. My first marriage with Nathan in my past life was not so... well... spicy. Nathan only gave in to me because of the mate bond; most times he made me feel rejected. Axel, on the other hand, has been very serious about wanting an heir.Axel carried me and slammed my back against the couch; his lip found my collarbone as he slowly began to lift my shirt up.Since he's in a good mood, this might be a good time to tell him that I want to leave the pack again.Axel was halfway done removing my shirt when I stop him and gently kiss his lips, his lustful eyes find mine as t
Riley POV“Your face is red.” Gianna said, “Are you feeling okay?”I snapped out of my thoughts and lied. “I'm fine. Is everything alright between you and Alpha Axel?” I asked absent mindedly. He had walked past Anna without saying a word; she also pretended as though she didn't see him.“It …” Gianna frowned with a thoughtful expression on her face. “It's nothing.” She clicks her tongue in anger and gives me an apologetic smile. “Please give me a few minutes; I will be back.”I nodded at her and stopped myself from begging her not to leave me alone as she strutted towards the exact direction alpha Axel went to.Since the day I lost my virginity to Carl, I have been refusing Gianna's invitation to the pack house. I invited her to my place instead, and although my place was far from being as nice as the pack house, Gianna honored my invitation without complaints.I can't avoid the pack house forever; Anna was going to be suspicious of me if I did. But now that I was in the pack house,
Gianna POVThe bright light in the room momentarily blinds me as my eyes flutter open. I close my eyes and open them more slowly this time, letting them adjust to the light. The smells of drugs and chemicals hit me as I listened closely to the voice in the background; it was Axel and Dr. Gatlin. We were in Dr. Gatlin's lab, and I don't know how long I have been knocked out for his experiment.“Nothing yet, Alpha, but I have noticed something extremely different about her blood and how it reacts as though it has a life of its own, but I still haven't figured out how this can benefit us; none of my test are giving positive results. Your wife is the biggest challenge I have ever faced, but don't worry, I'm determined to win this and not give up.”Axel groans in irritation, “We don't have much time left,” he growls angrily at Dr. Gatlin, but Dr. Gatlin remains calm.The tone of Axel's voice and the expression on his face were something I had never seen before. He had been hiding this part
Riley POV“Did you tell Luna Gianna that I'm here?” I questioned one of the female servants in the sitting room. I would have messaged Anna, but my phone battery was dead, and I couldn't personally meet her either because she was with alpha Axel.Alpha Axel hasn't done anything to scare me, but I was still afraid of him; he is a powerful man, and I don't want him to get irritated because I took his wife's attention away from him. Well, at least not directly; I intended to do it indirectly through a maid.“Yes, ma'am. Luna Gianna would be here soon. Is there anything you want me to bring for you while you wait?” the maid asked.I shake my head and smile at her. After the maid left, I turned my attention to the huge window that overlooked the pack house. The flower garden outside was beautiful. The only reason the maid in this house showed courtesy to an omega like me was because I was Gianna's friend. I like hanging out with Gianna, but at times like this, when I was in the pack house,
