Se connecterAngela’s blood ran cold as she swallowed hard, clutching her bleeding arm while assessing the hopeless situation around her. Her eyes darted to her husband battling the wolves, but Kesha’s voice seized her attention. “I didn't reckon you would be this foolish to roam around freely like this, Angela.” Kesha’s quiet laugh sent a chill down Angela’s spine, yet she refused to appear weak before the witch. Lifting her chin, she met her gaze without flinching. “It's been many years since I let you off the hook, but now it's time to have a good conversation with my cousin’s dear daughter before ending this once and for all!” Kesha nodded before her expression darkened. She snapped her fingers, conjuring a barrier between Gideon and them, sealing him away. Angela froze as she looked toward her husband. She whirled back to Kesha and stepped forward, but couldn't. Frowning, she tried again, yet her feet refused to move. Only then did she realize Kesha had bound her in place. “No…” she screa
Gideon stared blankly at her face as those two words echoed through his mind, finally fitting together. Luna Beatrice was the black witch, Kesha. Angela drew a shaky breath at his vacant expression, assuming He didn't believe her. She hadn't believed it either when she first realized Luna Beatrice was Kesha. But the burning mark around her wrist had erased every shred of doubt. Since when had Kesha been possessing Luna Beatrice’s body? “I could never forget that mark, Gideon. Kesha had the same burning circle around her wrist. My mother branded her with it, and not even the strongest spell could erase it. But why would she…” Her eyes flew wide as a horrifying thought struck her. “Had... had she already killed Luna Beatrice?” Terror gripped Angela. How would she ever explain this to Draven and Rebecca? Had Kesha been living beside them all along, even during those five years? Questions pounded inside her skull until the pain became unbearable. “So she was the one who tried
“What happened to you all of a sudden, Angela? We planned to take the kids to Disneyland Adventure Park after lunch. Are you okay?” Rebecca asked when Gideon announced they were leaving early because Angela wasn’t feeling well. Stepping closer, she clasped Angela’s hand and searched her eyes in silence. “Is it…”Angela instantly shook her head, stopping her. Rebecca wanted to ask if it was pregnancy sickness, but one look at Angela’s fear and tear-filled eyes was enough. She swallowed her question. “Angela, do you want to go home?” Luna Beatrice asked worriedly. Everyone looked concerned by their sudden decision to leave right after lunch. Only Angela knew how she had forced herself to remain composed for ten agonizing minutes, refusing to alert the enemy until everyone had finished eating.‘Gideon, please.’ Angela silently begged in the mind link. ‘We need to leave. Now! Grab Axel and Venessa. I want to go back to the Shadowcrest pack. Right now!’ She couldn’t risk anyone’s life b
“Do you like this one?” Rebecca asked, holding up a couple’s ring set from the display tray. Dash’s face twisted in disapproval. “Not eye-catching. Pick something with a touch of gold, baby!” “Excuse me! I’m not a gold digger anymore, I’m a diamond digger. Choose one from these three.” She declared, leaving no room for debate. Angela smiled at her witty remark while choosing a tiny pendant for Nora. Her birthday was next week, and she wanted to gift her a piece of jewelry. On Gideon’s insistence, she bought two pendants instead. One was diamond-studded, a gift from him for her to wear at the engagement party. “Hey, are you alright?” Gideon caught her by the waist as she stumbled while getting up. Her pale face had been haunting him since last night. She hadn’t slept at all. An unfamiliar ache kept clawing at her heart, as though invisible nails were tearing into it. Dread coiled through every nerve, warning her that something catastrophic was approaching. Worse, she had rece
“Look at this mama’s boy, growing up so well, huh?” Rebecca’s mother, Luna Beatrice, cooed, ruffling Axel’s hair. She burst into laughter when he frowned and declared, “I am a little man now, Luna. So don't touch my hair or pull my cheeks like before. I am Big Five now.” “Ah, little man, huh?” Rebecca caught his face in a firm grip, squishing his cheeks before patting them twice. “No rosy cheeks anymore, only a handsome beard growing here! You look more like a little girl, just like Venessa!” Axel shot her a sharp silver-eyed glare, exactly like his father's. “Geez! These Woodbead men!” she muttered under her breath before hugging her father, Patrick. Angela smiled and ruffled Axel’s hair as well. “Mom... please!” Axel sighed dramatically. Patrick chuckled at his irritated face before pulling him into a warm hug. “Little man! How have you been?” “I'm very well, thank you, Alpha Patrick. I missed you all!” Axel replied with a cheerful nod. Patrick smiled before his gaze lan
Ever so slowly, Gideon inclined his head, studying his wife with piercing intensity. Angela instantly stiffened beneath his gaze. “What did you say?” Her heart frantically urged her mind to stay quiet, but she moistened her lips, forcing herself to repeat, “I won't always follow your commands. Sometimes, you have to follow mine too.” The moment the words left her mouth, she mentally smacked herself. Had she gone too far? But spilled milk couldn't be gathered again. Hesitantly, she lifted her eyes, expecting displeasure, only to find him patiently waiting for her to meet his captivating hazel gaze. “I see! What do you want me to do?” he asked calmly, slipping his hands into his pockets. Huh? Angela tilted her head, searching his composed face. He wasn't offended? “Which command of yours must I obey, Wife? Tell me,” He repeated. Deep inside, however, her colorful behavior had piqued his curiosity yet again. Angela spun around, her hair whipping across his face. His feat
A dangerous growl left Gideon’s throat as He pushed her body down on the mattress forcefully and gripped her neck. Angela’s eyes popped out of its sockets in utter fear. “You know I can just kill you right here, right now! Heir from a whore like you? I will kill you and that thing inside you befo
“Oh I did. Are you scared, little human?” Wrath, Gideon’s wolf, rasped. The suffocation, outrage and pain of betrayal was not suppressed but He felt little ease by killing this cunning bastard who was openly lying to him. Two guards grabbed the sobbing Maya out of the dungeon and Silence prevaile
Angela's eyes broadened as she shook her head. Yes, for a short period of time in her school she had a crush on Jordan but she was just ten years old at that time for god's sake. And that letter… That was for Gideon. “I… no. I don’t love him. I love you. I didn’t betray you, Gideon. This video is
“You bitch!” A sharp sound of a slap echoed through the dirty walls of the horrendous dungeon of the Shadowcrest pack. “Do you really think you can escape the wrath of the Woodbead family, you pathetic human. You dared to betray my nephew, The Alpha king and ruin the image of my son with your who
