ログインAndrew Kane (POV)I went back into my condo to have a quick shower before I met with Briel and the bald man. I was troubled in my spirit that these men had a connection with someone. Briel hasn't proven to be otherwise after his confession that he only attacked Marcus because he thought he wanted to harm me.His words weren't convincing in the very least because I knew what I saw that day. The bright gladness of an intent killer, who would kill anyone for the joy of it.Why Selene would wish to have Lena dead still baffles me even though she knows she has no chance in my heart.I came out of the bathroom with water dripping over my body. Arranging meetings with my elders was the first step towards securing my borders. They had watched the tape with their own eyes, otherwise it would have been impossible to convince them that Elena didn't push her to death.The maids were fond of cooking up stories that could put the pack in danger sometimes. I know that the news of what happened would
Elena Torres (POV)By six in the evening, all the Elders were all gathered in the room. Whispering in hush tones about the sudden meeting which wasn't strange, neither would it be the first."Is our territory under threat again? It has been a while since we gathered for a meeting like this in months apart from troubles I heard the pack was facing," an Elder sitting closer to me said to the other beside him.It became a subject between them as the five elders debated on the subject of discussion. I didn't miss the strange glance they threw my way once in a while as they spoke.I seldom attend their meetings and if I do, the subject on ground has to do with me so I didn't blame them. Margaret was sitting opposite me and Uncle Drake sought comfort in his own chair beside. He was quiet and observant as ever.Marcus and Andrew were the only ones absent from the room. I developed cold feet at the thought of our discussion earlier. Andrew appeared to be distressed, even though he was doing a
Elena Torres (POV)I sat down quietly listening to Margaret acquire what I didn't do. Andrew already texted me on the situation of things and I really felt sorry for Selene's loss. I know how it felt to lose a child you have nurtured in your womb for months. A being that has become part of you. I almost lost myself when I thought I had lost mine."Can we watch the tape together so everyone would stop accusing me of what I did not do?" I asked in a low voice, trying to shove Margaret's hand which still rested on my shoulder. Her breath was all over my face, igniting anger within me at her baseless accusation. Her long artificial nails were digging into my flesh, intentionally."Are you asking that we watch how you committed a murderous act with our own two eyes again? You really want to traumatize us, don't you?" Margaret scoff, dusting off her hands as if she just touched a dusty surface."What are you afraid of? Why are you so keen on pinning this matter on me? Marcus already said t

Andrew Kane (POV)Mama's eyes were weary with tears unshed, I wondered why she would cry for Selene's sake. The situation was expected, it's either she or the child survives it. I left her at the door and went in search of Ken who had already left the emergency room to his office. Leaving the nurses to dress her up. Uncle Drake followed me from behind, I pulled the metal door open and walked into the office. Ken was washing his hand by the sink and drying it with the towel hung on the hanger. "I thought you would manage the situation, you should have saved the child by all means," I said, pushing the chair opposite him backward to sit while Uncle occupied the next. "That's funny. You of all people knew how dire the situation is. She had already lost so much blood before she got here. I should be the one asking you what happened. What the hell happened in the mansion, she will be due next month. How come?" Ken asked, his voice dripping with curiosity as he looked between Uncle and
Andrew Kane (POV)"Do you think Elena is capable of such an act?" Uncle Drake asked, trailing his fingers on the edges of the railings. His gray hair glistened at the sight of the orange sun, stuck in the sky.After a moment of silence, I responded, "is that even a question. Of course I know she wouldn't think of it not to talk of executing it," I replied, restraining the urge to roll my eyes."Well, people change over time, so tell me if she has anything to gain in the process," Uncle Drake said, twirling the golden ring in his finger."She has nothing whatsoever to gain Uncle, nothing at all. If not punished and exiled. The Southwest would want to push Elena according to their laws because this sin was committed against them. It makes no sense for her to act in such a manner," I stated with a shrug as if what I just said was the most basic thing."What if that is what you wanted to believe so badly? That Elena might be capable of such a heinous crime but in order to keep her safe, y
Elena Torres (POV)This time around I knew I was in trouble and had no escape from him. I turned around with a sheepish smile on my face, fidgeting with my fingers and toes."Follow me," Andrew said and rose up from his seat. I smirked, if he had gone hard on Blackthorn when he almost attacked Elde
Andrew Kane (POV)Selene was obviously enjoying the moment of banter between his father and my men. She sat down with her legs crossed over each other and her head raised in pride."I have had enough of the Northwest excuses for not coming to ask for my daughter's hand in marriage for alliances as p
Selene's PovI woke up this morning feeling dizzy and light-headed. I vomited a few times each time I smelled anything that worked against my stomach. Sitting down on the bed for several hours before gathering the energy to stand up.This wasn't a good feeling, not for me or the Southwest knowing f
Elena Torres (POV)I don't know what time it was when my eyes' lid flustered open or maybe I was the one imagining things because I couldn't see anything. Everywhere was pitch black and cold. Too cold for comfort.Stepping out of the bed to quench my dry throat, each step comes with effort and pain.
