Alyssa’s point of viewLavender. Fresh lavender. It’s inciting. It’s like someone is here.Marcelo?My eyes snap open, covered in a cold sweat, my heart pounding.pounding.Looking around the room, suspicious and paranoid that Marcelo would come to my room. I look around the room and Kasper is not in my bed. Where did he go?The sun shines through the window. It’s already morning. Is it why I could smell lavender?“Kasper’s men attacked him on the southeast border.” Marcelo’s voice comes from downstairs and I frown. What could he be doing here?I throw off the sheets and stumble out of bed. I quickly grab my robe and make my way out of the bedroom.Are they arguing? What happened? My heart pounds even more. The curiosity is killing me to know that his here right now when I should have been with him last night.You attacked him in my territory?” Marcelo sounds calm more than anything.It worries me.“Do you think this is funny? Tyler is my family and right now his fighting for his life—
>>>>>Alyssa’s point of viewStaring out the window of my room, I doubted if I had made the right decision to let a stranger mark me.He was my mate, yes, but the past week since Marcelo showed up here; he sniffles me like crazy trying to find out if I was with Marcelo or if at all I was cheating on him.Kasper claims it’s his wolf, but I think it’s just who he is. A man who would gladly pretend to be loving, yet he is a monster.“Allie?” I heard Frey’s voice behind me, bringing me back to reality. “IS everything okay?” She questions me, placing down the tray that she came with on the table as I nodded my head.‘Yes. Everything is fine. You can take back the food. I don’t have an appetite,” I said, looking away as I stared into oblivion, thinking about my life again.I was moving out of the pack in a few days, which means I have to wrap up all my projects here and who knows what Jason will do with all the rogues when I leave here.“Allie, what’s bothering you?” Freya asks me again, an
Kasper’s point of view“Yes? Do you have everything ready?” I asked my informant, who just advised me that my plan was finally in motion. I was glad about whatever was happening.Soon I would make my move and it would not be something that all of them expect. To them, I am just nothing but a rogue king who isn’t worthy of their respect.I felt my wolf suddenly growl as I took a deep breath. Something was wrong with Alyssa. He seemed uneasy and was pacing back and further.‘What’s wrong?’ I tried to find out what was wrong and what was causing him to react like that.‘She’s in trouble,’ He said to me as I clenched my jaws.“Fuck!” I cursed, looking at the time she should have been here right now. I rushed out of the bedroom, going to look for her downstairs.“Kasper! Do you have a minute?” Jason stopped me before I could go down the stairs. I closed my eyes, inhaling briefly before I turned to look at him.“Yes.” I faked a smile as he walked closer to where I was.“I wanted to discuss
Alyssa’s point of viewLavender. Fresh lavender. Ocean. Water. I try to open my eyes, but they are heavy. I feel like my head is heavy as well.“Frey? Frey?” I shout, trying to sit up. I am in a strange place.I suddenly snap my eyes as I look around. The window is blowing through the window and the white linen curtains are blown away. On the side bed table, there’s my handbag and phone.I can feel someone’s presence in the room, so I shift my head to the left and Marcelo is sitting on the accent armchair, his hands clasped together and leaning on his knees as he looked at me.“Marcelo? What did you do? Why am I here?” I panic as I look around the room. This is fucking crazy.I sit up and get out of bed as he looks at me.‘Why did you let him mark you?” He asks, his voice sounding broken as I swallow hard, looking into his eyes.‘He is my mate.” I replied, and he chuckled softly, nodding his head and lowering his eyes. My gaze lingers on him, wondering what he might be thinking right
>>>>>Alyssa’s point of viewI sat in the passenger seat as Frey drove back to the pack. I wasn’t at Marcelo\s pack but some mansion in his pack.My head is leaning against the window. I can’t believe that I had threatened Marcelo to kill me when surely I know it is just me proving that I have feelings for Kasper when a few minutes ago I was wrapped in his arms..“Would you have slit your throat?” Frey suddenly asked, breaking the silence in the car. I let out a heavy sigh, looking in her direction.“I don’t know. But I couldn’t let him kill someone on my behalf,” I said to her, and she sighed heavily, glancing at me.“We have been gone for the entire night. I am sure everyone was worried. What are you going to say?Jason will be—““I will handle Jason. I will tell him the truth,” I said to her, and she gasped.“Wait what? Do you want to tell him that you were with Marcelo? The entire night?” She asked me as I nodded my head.“I will tell the truth. I can’t lie to him,” I said to her
>>>>Marcelo’s Point of viewDays LaterShe would slit her throat just to protect that asshole? Did she love him so much that she would risk everything to protect him?I slurped from my glass of wine, staring from my balcony at the pack. I had everything that any King would want but yet I couldn’t even be with the woman I love?“Well, seems that didn’t go as planned,” Connor said, coming to stand next to me. I ignore him, gulping down my glass of wine.“The Redstone pack sent word” He started, but right now I was not in the mood to listen to politics.“Deal with it. I will—““One of Kasper’s men was spotted. It seems his mobilising himself.” He cut me short before I could walk away as I looked at him.“What do you mean?”“They suspect that they might be an attack. Especially their pack. A lot of killings have been—““Surely, you must know it’s just a way of them wanting us to send our men there. That’s why he mentioned Kasper,” I cut him short. I can’t believe he can’t tell. That’s wh
Alyssa’s point of viewThe entire time during breakfast, Kasper watched everything that I did. He still didn’t believe that I went to see my parent’s graves.“Did you set the date for your wedding?” Jason cleared his throat, looking at Kasper and then me.I exhale heavily, putting a smile on my face.“Well, we have been thinking of dates. Maybe just push it a few more weeks?” I suggested knowing too well there’s something that I wish to know first before I decide to get married to my ‘mate’.“Why the delay? I thought you have already completed your mate bonding?” Jason turned to me with a curious look on his face.‘Is everything okay, Allie?’ His mind linked to me as I faked a smile, looking at Kasper. /“Yes. I am perfectly fine. I was just thinking since Kasper has a lot of work and he might still need to go back to his pack, we should probably wait for some time.” As he nodded his head, I faked a smile again.“And Kas? What do you think?”Kas? When did Jason start calling Kasper th
Alyssa’s Point of ViewMy heart is beating so fast, I want to run away.But I know I won’t make it out of here I need to see MarceloThe wolf growls at meI want to run away, turned to my left, and another wolf is approaching where I was standing. Groaning loud as well, my heart paces fast.The first wolf lunges, jumping as it comes toward me.Looking into the wolf’s eyes I can recognize it, Black fur with highlights of grey.The second one jumps on me and makes me stagger behind but I grab the wolf by his neck throwing him against one of the trees as I growl at the one who is still standing.I have to get out of here. Ligia will probably try to fight them and she might rip out their heart if I let her take over.I growl at the wolf approaching him and he whimpers. Lowering his head and his tail between his legs.At least he can recognize authority.The one I had thrown against the trees gets up again, trying to attack me, and I turn to him, grabbing him by his neck and snarling at hi
