เข้าสู่ระบบAndrew Kane (POV)Later that night during dinner, I refused to pay attention to Lena. Instead I sat beside Selene, filling her plate with food until she couldn't eat any longer. I also enjoyed the meal, the table was silent all through but not awkward. It was like a relief after the storm. Only that the storm in my heart had just started blowing.Elena's eyes were on us, I could feel it. Her brow was raised in question when our eyes met but I looked away afterwards. Giving her no reply or gestures, I passed the apple juice to Selene instead before continuing my food.She barely touched her meal, she was picking and dropping the salad on her plate. Her fried rice and chicken was left untouched. Marcus said something into her ears of which I'm not interested to hear.All I did in the evening was for her sake, to clear the doubt she had concerning Selene's baby. And all I could get in return was condemnation for torturing a man who was against me. A man who trampled over my dignity as th
Marcus Kane (POV)After the Blackthorns returned to their pack, the house became awfully quiet. Questions, curiosities and doubts lingered in the air with fear to voice out what their concern was.Andrew has never treated any of his pack members with harsh judgment because he has no reason to. The fear in the eyes of the maids cleaning up the mess was so physical that I could touch it. Scrubbing with a shaky hand even though they tried to hide their fear as if they might be the next person to incur alpha's wrath.Margaret was still seated with a look of disbelief, her face was pale and white as a sheet. She stood up to leave the room avoiding Andrew's gaze but almost stumbled. The maids standing by rushed to her side and helped her to her room.Elena left shortly, ignoring Andrew's call. I stopped him from following her because she doesn't seem to be in the right position to talk."Will he survive it?" Andrew asked without looking at me."He should, we all know him as a strong warrior
Elena Torres (POV)The atmosphere in the living room has changed from intense to grave, the chief guard's brother was literally pleading for his life to be spared. His innocent cries vibrated through the room, setting everyone's heart in anguish.I gripped Andy's hand before he could stand up and walk towards the poor boy. I have never witnessed someone in such agony before, this is unjust of Andy."Can't you find another means to force confession out of your guard? Why involve the poor boy in a mess created by his elder brother?" I whispered to him, low enough for only him to hear."Because, this is the only way to force confession out of him. He's one of my men and I know just how well to deal with him," Andy replied, barely looking at me."Seriously, to what end? And what if he refuses to admit to his mistake, are you going to end the life of the boy" I requested, getting agitated by the void in his eyes."If need be, and if he still refuses, I will end the life of the family in hi
Chief guard (POV)"You fucking bastard, how dare you lie to my face. I did no such thing, alpha believe me. He's nothing but a two-faced liar," I roared, hitting the ground with tenacity."Me? A bastard? Can you hear this ungrateful asshole who I was trying to save his life all this while. I should have left you in the woods and let wild animals feast on your skull," Blackthorn replied, such a cunning man who only cares about his reputation.He was trying to turn the table around and make himself look good before the alpha. I was so foolish to have trusted him so easily."As the moon lives, I won't let you go scout-free. You will be punished by the moon for bringing this upon me and making me look detestable before my own people. Alpha, believe me I'm innocent." I pleaded under a heavy breath, my heart beating in trepidation. So loud the pack could hear.The reason for my dismissal as the chief guard, I know not. No one was willing to give an explanation , not even the beta. I lived e
Selene Blackthorn (POV)The silence in the room coupled with the tension and the vein almost popping out of dad's head was so terrifying I couldn't bear to look at him for long. Afraid that I might see the disappointment and shame through the glasses of his eyeballs.I was boiling and I could calculate her next move which would be to attack everyone in the room within the twinkling of an eye. She was trying so hard to control the contempt growing in her gut."Who do we have here? What a pleasant surprise! If I didn't know better I would have thought you loved my pack more than yours but I'm afraid that's not entirely true," Andrew said walking deeper into the room while holding Elena by the waist.Sitting on the biggest chair in the room specifically made for him, Elena sat by his right with a calm demeanor.She must be enjoying the view."Ah ah ah, that's hilarious alpha, but I don't think it's actually worth it. Perhaps, I've just taken a liking to this city that has become a second
Elena Torres (POV)It is so surprising how a little change to how you look can change your mood and aura. I raised my eyes up so the tears that have pooled in my eyes won't ruin my make up. Andy insisted on having me smell nice and look good without telling me the reason.The fact that he was so intentional about it, makes my heart tremble in fear. I hate surprises, it makes me anticipate either for the better or worse and in most cases it was for the worst.Andy stood by the doorway, resting his well-built frame against the iron door as his eyes swept over me before it rested on mine. His expression was blank, it annoyed me when I couldn't read his thoughts no matter how hard I tried. He walked slowly towards me with his hands in his pockets. I didn't know I was holding my breath the whole time until he kissed my forehead. "Can I unbox you here? I don't think it's a bad idea, seeing that no one is going to barge in on us," Andy said, his hands on my hips as it ran over the material
