LOGINAndrew Kane (POV)I thought seeing her would give me the clue I needed. That it would justify her sin and make all this hurt slip away. Mama hid under a facade of ignorance right after she walked in. And shattered the little hope I had. Her eyes danced like a proud army who is too self righteous to see his own sin."Why did you do it?" That was what I wanted to know, that's the safest question to ask. Maybe knowing the big picture behind her actions would elevate the pain.It would make me forego the thought that all this fight wasn't just against my own body but the best fight of my life. Truly I haven't prepared my men for real fights before where they fight till death for their own freedom. For the freedom of the pack and of each family they loved.The highest we have done since I've become an alpha was to settle disputes between other packs. While I focus on turning Northwest to the castle I always imagined it was from the little boy I was.Being forced to see that life was not a
Margaret Kane (POV)I was beyond surprised when I saw Andrew's men parked outside my pack, which was my own hometown. Andrew and Marcus decided it was best I hide here until everything was settled.The guards ushered me into the vehicle disrespectfully. Disregarding the fact that I was the alpha's mother and any stupidity from their end could be met with sudden death. It was as though they were set on forcing me back to Northwest by all means because no remorse was shown for their actions.I doubted if it was Andrew that truly sent them, the guards were mute throughout the journey. Sealing their lips no matter what I asked them. It was as though they had sworn an oath of silence.The journey doesn't sit well with me. A sudden coldness bathed me at the realization of what this might be. My hands went still but the car didn't stop moving towards the direction it came from.This sudden coldness enveloped me from head to toe like I had stepped into a river in winter except I hadn't moved
Marcus Kane (POV)I practically ran after Andrew as he walked back to the main house. He walked, not ran but I had to run to catch up with him. I have never seen someone walk at such maddening speed before. His frame wasn't all over the place but even the servants fled at the sight of him. Andrew didn't bother to listen to the full details of mother's betrayal before he stormed out of the basement. Sitting down and listening to this ugly side of mother was as if a cow intentionally rammed through him with the intent of destroying without repair. It was Selene, I didn't believe her word because she's a well cooked up lying bitch, who would tell lies with a straight face without flinching. She has been a smooth liar since childhood and it made me distance myself from her even more. Andrew almost slammed the door to my face if not that I was quick to hold it. It was crazy and even crazier that Andrew would believe what Selene said about our mother. It was as if he had been waiting to
Selene Blackthorn (POV)Being tied to a chair for twelve hours wasn't an easy feat. My bladder was about to explode, holding my urine for so long wasn't something I was accustomed to. I didn't have the gut to ask any of the guards for help because I already knew what their response would be.I sigh heavily, reminiscing about how mom would get me out of the mess she put me in. I pushed the fear gnawing at my jaw at the far end of my mind, back into the abyss it came from. I was already developing cold feet seeing how long it was taking to hear the sound of uproar of war from outside.It's crazy I never knew this kind of place existed in the mansion. No one would have imagined that too, seeing how colorful and bright it was, like something out of the ordinary. My dad's pack can't be compared to what this place looks like except that I'm experiencing the hell side of it.Through the little hole that was spread out on the basement iron door, I could tell it was daylight already. I wasn't
Andrew Kane (POV)Concentrating on the game at hand was thrice as hard as warding off the thought, shaking my head like I could dislodge it. It clung, cold and sticky.I groaned inwardly when Elena's face came to mind when I confronted her about what she said. I have never felt bad about anything like this. Not even ripping off someone's throat made me feel remorseful for my actions. The hurt was palpable and I knew it would sit between us at the table like a third person, eating none of the food.Second guessing my mom is like putting a rifle to Marcus' head under pressure. I know that she didn't get along well with my mom who wanted nothing but my relationship with Selena to work out at app cost. No matter what I had to sacrifice in return.But I just couldn't, I didn't want that version of a woman who prides herself on the position and power she has at her disposal. It's no mistake to have power and be in position but once it starts to get to your head, people will suffer for it.S
Elena Torres (POV)Something in my stomach turned over as I woke up. Not hunger. Not nausea. Just a cold, heavy drop, like a stone sinking through water. My gut clenched before my brain caught up. Wrong. This was wrong. Hell. No, no, no, I pushed the thought far behind my mind. It was a stupid and irrational thing to think of. It was far more stupid that I woke up thinking about it. About the possibility. How wretched my train of thoughts could get and this was petty and ugly. I sigh heavily watching Andrew move around the room as he prepares for their hunt meeting. My brow creased as my mouth opened before I could force back the words that followed, "has your mom called since she left? I mean it's fine if she hasn't considered the fact that she might think you guys are busy," asking a question and answering it yourself is a theory that needs to be checked.Andrew stopped in his tracks and turned towards me slowly, I winced at his unspoken response."Huh, no. I haven't heard from h
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.
Andrew's PovI walked quietly toward the study room, carefully analyzing what Selene said back there. She had dared to use a spell under my nose and deceived everyone.Southwest wasn't just any pack but a mixture of werewolves and witches. Selene was half a wolf and witch because her father had fall
Andrew's Pov Watching over Elena was the least I could do in this kind of predicament, the pack seer and doctor said she wouldn't be opening her eyes anything soon.Her frail appearance and helplessness breaks my heart. The doctor mentioned that even though the physical injuries have been healed, t
