Se connecterWhatever schemes he may devise, I shall not interfere with them for now. My priority is to ensure we succeed in tearing the two apart. And once I have achieved what I desire, then it shall be my turn to ensure it is he who falls and not Noah when the time comes.
I have more than enough means and plans of my own to make that happen. But I truly doubt he is capable of bringing down Noah and Northern Reign. I really do.
Moments later I felt his hands roaming all over me again
"But you must grant me a little time to find her. Go to Alpha Lucian and tell him that I will come to speak with him personally. I will tell him everything I know concerning Lily."Greed swelled within me, dark and insatiable, burning through every thought. I would ask Alpha Lucian for time, precious time, so that I myself might be the one to bring Lily to him. I would delay their meeting for as long as I possibly could, holding her fate in my hands until Lily belonged to me completely.No one would ever know that Noah had already claimed her. I would let them believe I stood ready to help find her, letting them trust me while I hid the truth. I would do everything in my power to deceive them. I would turn every truth inside out, if that was what it took, to seize the Stormhowl Pack and all its power through her.The warriors departed, leaving me alone in the heavy silence of my chambers. They had agreed to my terms and promised to carry my words bac
One evening, my warriors came to inform me that three warriors from the Stormhowl Pack had arrived within our territory and requested to speak with me.Three large, imposing warriors stepped inside my chambers, and it was there that I received them and chose to speak with them. It was plain to see from their bearing that they were men of immense strength. The very way they stood spoke of seasoned warriors hardened by battle.The Stormhowl Pack was one of the most feared packs in the far south. Their warriors were renowned for their strength and discipline, and their territory stretched across vast forests, mountains, and fertile valleys. Their numbers were enormous, their warriors were formidable. Their resources were considerable, and if I was not mistaken, they can be more powerful than the Northern Reign pack.The tallest among them stepped forward, his expression grave and commanding."Alpha Sebastian," he said, his voice like rollin
Sebastian POV"What on earth were you thinking? Why would you ever do something so foolish!" I spoke to Soraya with burning fury, the moment she confessed what she had done and why Noah had cast her out and severed their pack's alliance."Can you truly blame me? The entire pack adores him! Even the elders have been completely won over to his side!" she retorted defensively."Be that as it may! Why did you scheme all of this alone and never once tell me?" I replied, exasperated beyond measure.To tell the truth, I was seething with rage, aching to strike her for what she had done to Lily. This vile woman! If I did not still need her, I would kill her with my own hands. She had hired rogues to defile my precious Lily, driven by nothing but bitter jealousy and blind rage because every attempt she made to ruin Lily had failed.I wanted to wrap my ha
"Do not be afraid, you are safe now. I will protect you." That was the first thing Noah said to me when he rescued me.He wrapped his cloak around my naked body and held me gently, as though I were something precious and fragile that needed to be kept safe.Just when I had given up hope, when I thought it was the end, someone came for me like a knight in shining armor and didn't know I will be forever grateful for him.After those terrible two weeks in captivity, I was never the same again. The bright, kind, gentle Soraya I used to be was gone. I became cold, moody, and always angry. I was deeply scarred by everything I had endured. And I swore to myself, never again would I trust so easily and never again would I show mercy where it did not belong.I learned the hardest lesson of all. I learned that kindness and goodness are mistaken for weakness. There are only two kinds of people in this world, those who use others and those who are u
Soraya's POVI don't know if I am simply cursed with bad luck or if I was reckless and failed to plan carefully enough because Noah still managed to save that wretched bitch after all. I truly believed my plan would succeed without a single flaw but I was wrong. In the end the rogues I had paid failed completely. They even confessed and turned against me naming me as the one behind everything.I saw the fury burning clearly in Noah’s eyes when he stormed into the infirmary and I was truly terrified. I knew right then and there that he would have killed me if Lily had not stepped in and stopped him at that very moment.It tears me apart to know that the man I have loved all these years was willing to kill me just to avenge his worthless mate. This was the first time he ever laid a hand on me and it hurt more deeply than anything. The pain in my heart was far worse than the physic
When morning came, soft sunlight spilled gently across the bed. Lily stirred and turned toward me, curling closer, resting her head on my chest right where she belonged."What is it?" I asked gently. "Did you have that nightmare again?"She simply shook her head and gave me a soft, beautiful smile. That smile. It was like sunlight breaking through clouds. Who could resist such brightness first thing in the morning?"I am so thankful you came," she whispered, her voice quiet and full of emotion. "I do not know what would have happened if you had not found us.""I would always come for you," I told her, leaning down to kiss the top of her head. "There is nothing I would not do for you. Nothing is too great, nothing is impossible when it comes to keeping you safe. I would turn the whole world upside down just to make sure no one ever hurts you.""How did you know I'm in danger?" she asked, looking up at me with those gentle eyes. "And how did you find
