ISABEL POV I sat there listening to Alpha Xavier as he read out different names of females he had an encounter with, and even giving explicit information of what he had done to them, how he had made them feel, he even went as far as describing their moans."This is an insult Xavier and you know it." I managed to get out weakly."Look who's finally found her voice. Do you still remember what I told you when we first met?" He asked softly, but I was not in the mood to recall anything."You told me you loved me.""I didn't know you were also a liar, perhaps I should remind you." He said with a hint of mockery in his voice. “This is no fairy tale love story Isabel,” he said softly and there was a fire in his eyes. “I told you that I would never love you, and yet I will make you love me. I will make you beg for my love till it destroys you, and then I will destroy your family, everything you stand for.” "You don't mean that Xavier, you are just drunk. You'll forget everything you've just
ALPHA DARIO POV A gentle knock on my door made me raise my head from my desk that had different maps, and scouting reports laid on it. "Come." I said in a loud voice and returned my attention to the status report that had just arrived.I felt my heart racing as I read the report.The Zuzkies have broken through our defenses. We suffered lots of casualties. So many humans are dead and some werewolves in the army too. We are trying to rally up as many as possible, all who are not injured, who can stand or ride on a horse and chase after them.They will reach the city by sunrise in five daysGaul.This was not looking good at all, it was signed by Gaul, my second most trusted Delta wolf. He was a fighter and often showed attributes of being a beta. The door opened and Sara walked in. I was not expecting to see her. "Sara, please come in." I gestured to a seat and gently hid the most recent report from Gaul and any other that could be seen.Sara was a werewolf too and had good eyes. I
ISABEL POV I woke up the next day in an empty room, Alpha Xavier was nowhere to be found. The night had been one of the most difficult nights in my life. I turned and twisted all through the night.I had woken up intermittently, frustrated but each time I looked to the couch where Alpha Xavier laid, he had a smile plastered on his face like he was mocking me even though he was fast asleep.I'd overheard him talking with someone about the date with my father, Alpha Dario but I didn't really think much about it since I was half asleep, or should I say half wake. But it was beginning to make sense to me now that I was awake."Hello, I'm looking for Kira." I asked the first person I saw outside Alpha Xavier's room. "Where is her room?" The lady paused to get a good look at me. "Please." I added when I felt she would not answer."Third floor, first turn, fourth room by your left." She said and was off before I could offer her my thanks.I knocked on the door I was directed to and waited.
ALPHA XAVIER POV I was surprised when Valerian knocked on my door and informed me that today was the day I promised Alpha Dario that I would send military aid and kept asking me to keep my word."We are nothing without our words." Valerian said when we got outside the castle. I dragged him outside as our shouting match up took on a crescendo, as I felt we must have woken Isabel. "Isabel running away from the mating ceremony didn't do any damage to your reputation." He scolded me.I looked at him mysteriously, Valerian had disappeared on me since after we had gotten into a fight. I had made some crazy accusations of him being attracted to Isabel, which made me love Isabel even more, even though I couldn't shake off the feeling that she was all acting up. "Do you know what would make you lose your reputation?" He asked softly, breaking through my thoughts."What?" I paused and regarded him, and Marita who was standing a step behind him. He was not aware of my deal with Alpha Dario, Ma
ISABEL POVLuc and Samon led me back into the heart of Wolfshade, but a different part of Wolfshade, I've never been here. "This is not Wolfshade, take me to Wolfshade."Their mocking laughter made me cringe. "This is Wolfshade," the one called Samon spoke for the first time. "This is a dungeon that is meant for spies." He explained as we stopped in front of an ugly looking building. "Here in Wolfshade, we cut down spies mercilessly." Luc said as he bound my hands. I had thought of making a run for it while we rode here, but I am not a good horse rider."Send for the mistress of spies." Samon told one of the guards, "tell her we've caught one." He said and left.The guard held the rope they had used to bind my hands and led me down a staircase that I didn't know was there. Instead of going up, we went downward, which made me believe the house had an underground, as there was no way it would have had all the sections given what was visible on the outside."Excuse me good sir, there's
ALPHA XAVIER POVThe morning sun was the most beautiful sight I've ever seen, and it made me recall days I woke up earlier in the morning to see the sunrise, and also go up the hill to watch the setting sun. A lot seems to have happened between then and now, and I have become a different man ever since. A wave of nostalgia washed through me as I stepped out of the inn I had stayed for the night. The stable man already had my horse saddled and waiting for me. I had rejected Dario's best rooms, as it was not wise to spite a man and still stay in his house. You'd be lucky if you see the light of day.Valerian had gathered the fighters when I finally rode to meet them just at the outskirts of a community far from the city. They had all decided to leave when word got out that I had rejected Dario's offer.They were in no mood for the long journey but there was no way we would remain in Thornridge. "Alpha Xavier, you have a message." Turak announced as Valerian and I approached."A message
ALPHA XAVIER POV My bath had been drawn by the time we got to the bathroom, I climbed into it and sat down. The water was hot, just the way I usually like it. I stretched and submerged my body, such that only my head was above the water. I closed my eyes to enjoy the moment and soon felt someone climbing into the bathtub with me. I opened my eyes and got a good view of Theodrin's body before she submerged herself in the water."Wow, the water is better than I could have imagined." I felt her slender feet close to my groin. "Theodrin," I studied her, fixing my gaze on her and she held my eyes. There was lust and desire behind those eyes and something more. For the first time, I became uncomfortable being alone with her. "You are an amazing and irresistible woman.""Yet you've meticulously avoided me." She wrapped her feet around my cock. "I guess I have Dyelin to thank for such an opportunity." She was fishing, she was daring to be bold, I found a sudden desire to see her endgame."T
ISABEL POVThe cells in the dungeon stinked but that didn't seem to dissuade the guard who seemed determined in his belief that all spies are liars, and all liars are spies. The atmosphere was always changing, some days it was very cold, and I slept folded up, and other days it was so hot that I would rather sleep nude, if I had my ways of course. "You have to hang in there, Alpha Xavier will come for when he comes back and find out you're missing." I could hear Livia's voice in my head, and it was the only thing that was keeping me going.Livia was someone I had come to cherish a lot, she had ensured that I always had food to eat. I didn't know how she was getting the food until she came in yesterday with some bruises on her face and her arms. A fellow serving girl had observed her always going out with food and decided to rat her out.Her Madame had accused her of stealing her food but Livia had swore that she didn't. It broke my heart when she told me that the food she brought to
