LOGINHi guys. Trust you're enjoying the book so far. Please note, there'll be two POVs in this chapter. Happy reading. Alina's Pov: "Who do you think you are?" Alpha Kain's mistress asked me with fire in her eyes. She looked like she could tear me apart. She tried to attack the retreating men again while the medical team arrived and took the injured men away. "Take another step and I will make sure you are charged with assault and your position will be taken away from you. Do you want to give it a try and see how it goes?" I didn't bother turning back to her. She wasn't worth my gaze. "You're letting the real assaulters get away. They attacked us." "And you think attacking them would solve the problem at hand? You're blinded by emotions and that is what makes you weak." "Say that one more time. I dare you." She growled. I turned to her and looked her in the eye. "You are too blinded by emotions and that makes you weak. All you think about is violence and never a way to make peace.
Alina's Pov: I was just coming down to return the dishes I had used when I heard Alpha Kain aggressively commanding his generals. He didn't sound like he was angry at any of them though. It was more like strategic, immediate commands that needed to be obeyed with abrupt effect. Seconds later, I saw almost all of them heading outside. All except for Devin who was walking steadily and swiftly toward me. "What's going on?"There was no telling what could happen the next minute. The Raven Fang pack was the most hated in all the werewolf community and hence, they had many enemies. "We're under attack," He said and took the dishes from me. "I'll take you someplace safe." "No, we are not playing the 'safe' game. You will take me to the battlefield." I finalized and was hellbent on crossing that door but Devin grabbed my wrist with his free hand. "Do you know what you're saying? You'll not survive a minute out there." "Let go," I yanked his hand off. "What happens later if I'm safe?
Alina's Pov: They didn't tell me what happened to the women before me. All they told me was that he was never officially engaged to any of them and that I was his first legally wedded wife. But it didn't make me feel any better. I wanted to know what happened — if they left on their own or if he actually killed them as the rumor said. While I changed into my nightgown after a warm bath, Sophy was dressing my bed. I wondered if she knew much about Alpha Kain but I doubt she'd tell me. If his close circle wouldn't reveal it, then a worker had absolutely no right to. "Luna, do you need anything else?" She asked me after she was done with the bed. "Not at all. Thank you." I smiled. She bowed and left my room. I had grown somewhat comfortable around her and Devin. They were like the family I never had. I saw her as a sister and Devin as a big brother. I just hope they see me the same way. ****I had gone to bed thinking about what I would do with my life and I woke up with the same
Alina's Pov: "You will have to annul the marriage and have her serve as our priestess." "By whose order?" Alpha Kain asked, his brows furrowing. Now I understood why he didn't like facing them. With the number of questions they had asked him and the tone they used, if it were me, I would have exploded by now. "This is not up for debate!" Elder 1 yelled and slammed his fist on his small table. "We've let you have your way countless times, constantly going against the will of your ancestors. But what I won't do is sit here and watch you disrupt the very laws of nature." Glancing down, I saw Alpha Kain's left fist clenched. He looked like he was ready to punch the living daylights out of that problematic elder. But he was careful not to hurt my wrist which he was holding with his right hand. "Henceforth, you two will no longer be a married couple, you hear me? You will give her up this instant and look for some other lady to marry. Besides, this one won't last three months with yo
Notice: There'll be two POVs in this chapter. Happy reading! Kain's Pov: The only news I had been expecting all day was that Alina had packed her bags and was ready to leave. A major part of me wanted her gone for good but there was a small part that wanted her to stay back. Walking down the staircase while straightening my collar, I saw Alina sitting quietly on the navy blue couch. She looked...fine. I heaved a sigh of relief. My chest still ached over the fact that I was violent with her. As much as I wanted to apologize and have a small talk, I needed to get down to business. "What do you think you're doing?" I asked her. "You should be resting. Go back inside. I'll tell them you already left." Without saying a word or looking at me, she walked outside. I followed behind her to see a car waiting outside. Devin and Javan stood beside the car, chatting inaudibly. When they saw me, they stopped talking. "What's the meaning of this? Why didn't you let me know about this arran
Kain's Pov: Instead of asking questions, they worked together to get her to the hospital. While Devin drove the car, Zion made a call to the hospital to get their equipment ready. Alina was still struggling almost on the verge of passing out. I held her hand and for the second time in my life, I prayed to the moon goddess to save her life. All the anger I was emitting a few minutes ago had dissipated into anxiety. Seeing her like that scared me. I wondered how she felt. Her life must be flashing before her eyes and it's all my fault. By the time we got to the hospital, the nurses were already waiting outside. So as we got down, she was wheeled inside. We followed until we were asked to stop at a point. I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. Why couldn't I show restraint? There were other ways to go about this and I chose the wrong one because I was basking in my pain. "What did you do?" Devin asked, his brows furrowed. At the same moment, Sophy, Jenna, and Sally hurrie
