LOGINAngela’s body went rigid. She swallowed hard and slowly opened her eyes. Gideon had known the exact moment she regained consciousness but had remained silent. She had heard everything. And now her mind was frighteningly blank.She couldn’t understand why they were cornering the Griffins, the people who had sheltered her when she had nothing but Axel growing inside her.And Draven was not her mate? Angela was confused as who was telling the truth and who was telling lies. Yet a strange thrill ran through her at the mention of her emerging abilities. She could feel the difference since Gideon had marked her. Strength. Awareness. Dreams. But she had never been taught the ways of the supernatural world in her life. She had been kept ignorant all her life. So everything was chaotic and new to her. She turned her head toward him and whispered hoarsely, “Save my child.” Only three desperate words left her mouth. Gideon’s teeth ground together. She looked away to the ceiling, but He bent d
“A human can be born to werewolf parents under rare exceptions, but there is no way a supernatural being disguised in human form is born to werewolves, especially when he or she is not a werewolf.”Dash stated grimly, his gaze fixed on Angela’s motionless figure on the bed. She had fainted the moment Rebecca revealed the truth, and since then she hadn’t stirred. He had wanted to call the pack doctor immediately, but Gideon had stopped him for reasons He refused to explain.Gideon sat in the armchair, eyes closed, humming low in thought. The mystery of Angela’s true identity had finally surfaced, and it troubled him deeply. A doubt gnawed at him, was she truly from the Clampitt family at all? According to her records, she was born in the neighboring pack, Dusk Claws, in her maternal territory. And the day she was brought to the Silvercrest pack, that was the first time Gideon had seen her. Baby Angela. Those glowing orbs that had opened the instant He touched her.“Either she had one p
Angela stepped back blankly, his words didn’t hurt her that much now because her attention was only on her child. She shook her head frantically. “Gideon, don’t say it like this, please.” She sighed shakily. “I know why you are doing this…to hurt me. Say anything ugly you want, but I want to see my child now. You remember when you came that night in my room. Axel was there. If you don’t believe me, I will show you. Let me go home and bring him here. Then you will see how much he looks like you.” She laughed weakly through tears. Gideon squinted his eyes at her broken smile. Oh, how many lies she would sputter. His gaze shifted behind her to Dash, who stood equally stunned. “Exactly, right? And we couldn’t trace him till now.” He looked at his beta questioningly. If this were true, why had her background shown no trace of pregnancy or a child? His best investigator couldn’t have made such an omission.Angela turned, following his gaze.
Gideon stopped walking and turned to face his hyperventilating wife. His eyes glazed at her blanched face, but what truly ticked him were the words she uttered. His smouldering gaze pricked Angela’s skin as dread seeped into every cell of her body, anticipating his reaction.Before she could read the consternation on his features, Gideon was in her face the next second. Angela yelped, stepping back, but He gripped her shoulders as his pupils dilated and He snarled, “If you utter a single fucking word, I will remind you who I am, Angela. Stop this drama and go upstairs. Don’t waste my time…” “I am telling you the truth, Gideon!” Angela said breathlessly. “We have a child together, I was trying to tell you the truth but you…” And Gideon couldn’t stop himself from clutching her neck, yanking her close as his eyes turned pitch black from silver stone. Angela felt like she would faint anytime seeing his enraged face and blazing eyes. “Say it again… say it!” He dared her.Dash hesitated,
“Alpha, Draven Griffin is here!” Dash’s voice through the mind-link snapped Gideon’s focus from Angela. His lips curled into a dangerous smirk. She fell silent at the sudden shift in his expression. “Your ex-fuckboy is here,” He muttered. Angela blinked. Her thoughts flew to Axel and his health. Draven must have panicked at her absence and Axel would be tearing the place apart without her. Her child was as possessive as his father. She hurried to the door, forgetting everything for a moment, but Gideon yanked her back. “Are you that eager to see him?” He snarled. Angela ignored the venom. “Please let me see him. I will explain everything to you, Gideon. First let me see him…” Her eyes shimmered with plea. He stared at her for a long second, then glanced over her body. “Why not? He should know what’s out of his reach now.” A devilish grin spread across his face as He dragged her downstairs to meet the impatient guest. In the living hall, Angela saw Draven typing furiously o
Her weakness?Angela’s heart jolted at his words. Her thoughts rushed to Axel, because her son was the only weakness she had left, and there was no way in hell she could afford to lose him. Did He already know about Axel? She dreaded. “I can hear your heartbeat clearly, loudly, Angela!” He leaned closer to provoke her, but Angela pushed him away and instantly slipped away. “I need to go!” she muttered, trying to escape, but Gideon caught her wrist, yanked her back, and dragged her before the mirror, locking her in his arms from behind. “Where to? To your imposter Mate?” He asked mockingly, and Angela clenched her jaws in fury, hating how easily He intimidated and controlled her, and how He always walked away after insulting her. “Look at yourself closely, Wife. The mark I gave you…” He slid the shirt off her shoulders and traced the golden mark at her soft spot, making her shudder as his fingertip grazed her skin. Angela shut her eyes, fighting her own reactions, refusing to fee
Draven’s gaze swept across the room before landing on the discomfiting scene in front of him, and his jaw clenched hard. The sight of Angela in such a position did not sit well with him. A flicker of anger crossed his face as he immediately strode toward her. “Angela, what happened?” His voice ca
Angela looked at him with a composed face, but inside, angry chaos fluttered wildly in her chest. Her racing heartbeat betrayed her calm exterior. Why was He doing this? Why humiliate her like this here, in front of everyone?Her nervous eyes instinctively flickered toward Draven, silently seeking
“Angelina Jones. Personal assistant of Draven Griffin. Completed her fashion designing course three years ago. Currently living with her best friend in an apartment in the territory of the Silver Moon Pack. No other background… nothing traceable before that.” Dash’s voice faded into the heavy sile
“Angelina has been working as my assistant for years, Mr. Robert. She is a great designer, so you might have seen her at some event with clients who sponsored her designs,” Draven affirmed smoothly. Robert’s gaze returned to her, and she nodded with a composed smile.“Ah! I see. Maybe you are right
