Swara’s POV“Hi, Swara. Nice to meet you.” She stretched out her manicured right hand to me.I received her handshake wondering how she knew my name.“Nice to meet you huh…” Trying to get her name.“Olivia is the name. I run this small business?”Was she kidding me? She was calling SWAT a small business? SWAT is the biggest deal to ever happen to me. And to be getting it on a platter of gold!Damn. I was moved to tears.“Nice meeting you Olivia. I just want to say you’re a genius. You are about to change my life.” I mean every word I said.“Not to mention. I can empathise with you. I was blessed with a weak wolf too. There was no place in the world for us. But here I am – I’ve been in the army and making a name for myself.”I smiled – admiring her tenaciousness.No wonder Alpha Reon needed to do business with her. She was smart and worthy of every side attraction.“I guess we are transparent.” Alpha Reon announced himself – his childish and playful mannerisms in full glare.I guess he
Swara’s POV “Your Big Madam had me take up a lot of weird tests. Was that your plan? You want to get to know how I feel towards you by using her?” “Who are you referring to as Big Madam?” Alpha Reon pretended to be clueless. I gave him that eye. “Of course, you know who I’m talking about.” “Oh, you mean Olivia?!” He exclaimed as though he was just knowing. “No o! Veolia “I replied sarcastically. “That was not funny. Let me tell you what’s funny. I’m travelling tomorrow for the sake of you. And you are trying to spoil a fight with me over Big Madam.” He eyed me like a puppy – facing his small bowl of fruits. I kept mute. “I’m sorry.” “Oh, damn it. I was joking again.” Not my fault. I walked on eggshells all my life. Too afraid to voice my opinions for fear of criticism or getting put down. I apologised at every given moment just to keep the peace. It got so bad. No wonder I find it hard to share a joke except I’m completely at ease with the person. “How are you going to get t
Alpha Reon’s POV“Alpha Miles will soon be here. I came ahead to tell you. He’s passing the Halan mountains.” He came closer and whispered such that Swara couldn’t hear.“What’s he looking for?”“He doesn’t believe his daughter is dead.” Gamma Atticus shivered.I shot him a dead stare. “You told him?”“I didn’t! I swear on my dead mother’s grave. Alpha Miles doesn’t believe she is dead for whatever reason.”“I believe he is coming to my presidential villa.”“What do we do?”“And why are you here? Don’t you think he’d find it more suspicious if he sees you here? Why didn’t you send one of your men?” I scolded him.“I wanted to deliver the message to you in person.”“Good thing he is here.” I bellowed.“What?! Why?”“He has saved me the trouble. I’d just ask him where he is hiding Swara’s real father.”“Rumour has it that he framed him for a crime.”“Maybe. He is capable of all scheming and framing.”“So what happens when he finds out Swara is alive?”Gamma Atticus was anxious.“Don’t w
Swara’s POV ” My father is here. What are we going to do now?” “Whatever happens from now – you just got to trust me.” Reon peered into my eyes, then whispered something in Beta Finn’s ears. Next thing I knew… “Guards!” Five hefty men came in and forcefully carried me out. “No!” I screamed then stopped almost immediately. Reon must have a reason for this. “Can you at least tell me what is going on?” I looked at him searching for an explanation. Rather he ignored my gaze and feigned to be asleep. “Alpha Reon!” I screamed for the last time as I struggled in their grip. As expected, they took me outside the territory gate, accompanied by Beta Finn. And outside the territory gate was my father. The expression on my father’s face was unreadable. While mine became seasoned with hatred, pain and so many questions. “Why?” I asked even though I knew there was no reason satisfactory enough to quench my pain. “Why did you want me dead, you black-hearted Lucifer?!” On the spot, I boil
Swara’s POV“We presented your father with a fake slave contract.”“And…”“He thinks Alpha Reon bought you as a slave.”“Go on.”“His signature was needed to seal the deal; that’s why Alpha Reon needed him to come to the territory gate.”“You are yet to mention the favour.”“We will need your signature too.”“That’s no problem. Why did you make it sound like a big deal?”“Remember, in the beginning, I mentioned a fake slave contract. In reality, it’s your dowry list. Alpha Miles didn’t bother to read through the contract agreement.”“What?! This is deception. How can he marry me without my knowledge.”“Relax Miss. He only wanted to give you a kind of reassurance that he’s serious with you.”“Serious my foot!”“It’s not official yet until you sign it. You’ve got a whole 6 months.”“Nonsense. Matthew! Thanks for ruining my morning, Beta Jasper.”“I’m still yet to mention the favour.” He threaded carefully.“I don’t bite. Hurry and speak.”“My sister is in a precarious situation. She mar
Swara’s POV“That woman from New Crystal is nowhere near all the women our Alpha had dated.” One of the maidservants commented to her fellow maid.“She can’t steal my shine. I won’t stop since I’ve started.”“Started what?”“Of recent, before our Alpha travelled, he has been requiring me to make tea in his study.” The young lady smiled sheepishly.“And?”“And of course, he has been chatty with me.”The other lady looked like she didn’t believe her colleague.“What?! You don’t believe me? He even hugged me. Why would an Alpha hug a lowly slave like me?”“I take it that you have never been hugged. That’s why you speak so highly of this incident.”“Don’t insult me. The Alpha seems to have a crush on me.”“In your dreams. Just like that strange woman; you’re nowhere near his type.”“Men mate with women who are not their types. What matters is elegance, charm, grace and beauty. And I’m an enigma of it all.” The other lady took a peacock walk in a small circle.While her colleague laughed o
Swara’s POV“Never in my wildest dreams did I think you’d call me.” Alpha Miles spoke with a flat tone. “So, tell me how is your work as a slave in Alpha Reon’s domain? I’m sure you can cope pretty well since you worked in close contact with our kitchen staff.”She was the one who called her father. And yet he was already saying so much. Was he trying to get her angry and make her cut the call?No, she wouldn’t budge.It’d be nice to throw some words back and forth. But first, she had to get his approval on something.“I want to know why you’d pick on an innocent girl.”“Why concern yourself with another man’s matter? Focus on slaving yourself out. I know it can be tough. But you are used to doing the dirty work all your life.” He kept fuelling my anger.“I thought the only innocent girl you picked on in this world was your daughter.”“Oh, Beta Jasper’s sister. She is not innocent. She is guilty as charged. Just as you are guilty. Since the day your mum gave birth to you, it’s a sin a
Swara’s POVI didn’t want my father dead yet. I wanted him to see me successful. Then I’d have the last laugh.I hung up the call and dialled Alpha Reon’s line several times – all to no avail.Times like this, I wish I was officially mated to him. That way, I’d have mind-linked him.Finding my real father was the priority.He wouldn’t surely harbour intentions of murdering a whole pack’s Alpha. That’s calling for war.I’ve had too much to worry about in a single day. And it was just morning.I narrowed my mind to focus on the training in front of me.A palanquin arrived and I got in.This grand carriage was worthy of a Luna.But I didn’t feel worthy.Many things I didn’t feel worthy to have.I enjoyed the harmonious and silent ride to SWAT.“My lady, would you like to have some fruits?” Lena asked.“That’s thoughtful. Since you asked, I’d have some.”She handed me some guava fruits. I loved guava fruits the most.Alpha Reon must have hinted at them as my favourites. Though I don’t rem
