Chapter twenty: Blood and Bruises Melissa's POV "Harder!" I scream as Osbert pounds into me with reckless abandon, we were just eating and watching a movie, things took a different thing in seconds and in a twinkle of an eye, we were stark naked pleasuring each other like nothing else mattered in the world except us."Ah... Yes baby, that's it" I say, pushing him closer to the edge, and he pulls out before he could empty his seeds in me.There we go again."Making love to you gets better every time" Osbert says, chest heaving up and down as he draws me closer and kisses me fondly on the lips.But, this was not what I wanted, I wanted to have Osbert pups, that was certainly not too much to ask. I mean we've been in a relationship for many months now and it's ideal we start talking about starting a family."What's wrong baby, you don't look happy" He says and I smile, Osbert always notices the slightest change in my demeanor, even when I don't sometimes and he ensures he does everyth
Chapter twenty one: Pain and guilt. Dane's POVIt's been three days, Three days of watching the woman I caused pain fight for her life. It was almost as if Dayna was incompetent and I had plans of firing her after several failed attempts of reviving Gianna.She was barely breathing and it was one bad news to another, I did not want her to die and I certainly did not want to be the reason for her death. It will threaten my reign as Alpha and I did not want any bad name for myself.Worse still, my conscience kept pricking me and my wolf sought out ways to punish me at any given opportunity. I was so tired, nothing made sense to me anymore and everything seemed to be falling apart."My lord, I beg to take my leave now, I... ""Save me the explanation Dayna and get the fuck out, you keep coming here everyday administering drugs and herbs of all kinds, still no improvement, if I didn't know better I'd have said you're incompetent" I yell in rage and she takes two steps back in fear."My
Chapter twenty two: Unbroken ties.Melissa's POVThis is all a joke.This is just some sick joke, this is just the moon goddess playing tricks and mind games on me. I do not understand, how am I going to handle this amidst all the pressure.I've been sick for a while and I mistook it for a high fever due to the regular beating from Osbert. Imagine my shock when I found out I was three months gone.That means I was already pregnant before I left my pack and no the child isn't Osbert, the idiot has made it clear that he didn't want children, so tagging the unborn child as his was a no go area but on the other hand, I can't return back to the pack with a baby.I mean I rejected Dane and I cease to be the Luna of that pack and Dane would certainly not take it lightly with me, what do I do?Why didn't I realize I was playing a risky game all along?Maybe, Just maybe I stand a chance with Dane. He has always wanted to be a father, maybe this child was my own shot of reconciling with Dane, w
Chapter twenty three: She's awake! Dane's POVI felt relieved because amidst all the turmoil in my heart I was still able to finish a great amount of work. The issues in the pack kept piling up and it was almost as if everyone on my council was incompetent.I got to my room and plopped on the sofa. I winced in pain as I massaged my head, I felt a headache surfacing so I quickly popped two pills in my mouth to relieve me of the ache. My eyes moved towards Gianna and my heart thumped, her presence always made me feel somehow, in ways I couldn't just explain.My legs were moving in their own accord towards her direction, I sat on the bed as I admired her perfect features. From her well sculpted face, well arched brows, high cheekbones and the lips. My God, her lips were plump and I bet they tasted delicious just the way they looked.I found myself running my hands on her face, her skin felt so soft and silky and I wondered how it would feel with our bodies pressed against each other,
Chapter twenty four: The invitation Tristan's POVNothing makes sense at this point and it's tiring. I thought taking the position of the Alpha was the best thing for me, but in actual sense, it was the beginning of my problems.I sat at my desk surrounded by stacks of paper, my brows furrowed in concentration as I reviewed the documents in front of me. My eyes flit from one page to another taking in details with keen interest.I feel torn in two directions. On one hand, I know what I have to do, it's my responsibility as Alpha to protect my people but I couldn't help but feel like a puppet being controlled by the old Beta and his cunning daughter because they offered me the Alpha's position for nothing, oh no for my sanity.On the other hand, I can't help but feel the weights of my decision pressing down on me, I was so stupid not to realize when Gianna slipped from my hold just like that.I make one stupid mistake and everything goes wrong and I didn't know it would have a profo
Chapter twenty five: Conspiracy Mika's POVI left the office and I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. I tried to hold them back but I could not stop the flood of emotions that came pouring out.I ran down the hallway away from the Alpha's office and found myself in the courtyard surrounded by trees. I really do not understand why Tristan hates me so much, no matter how hard I show him that I love him.I leaned against the tree, my head bowed, as I struggled to contain my emotions. The tears continued to fall, and I felt as if my heart was breaking. I had thought I could get Tristan to love me, I thought that with Gianna out of the picture, I would finally live the life I had envisioned for myself.My love for Tristan burned within me like a raging fire, yet he did not seem to notice. No matter what I did, he remained aloof and distant. I had hoped that he would love me more than he loved Gianna but it was clear that he did not share my feelings.I felt like a fool, like I had
Chapter twenty six: Wandering thoughts Miles POVI sat in my room alone with my thoughts.The events of the past few days replayed in my mind, over and over again and I couldn't shake the feeling of dread that had settled over me, a heavy weight pressing down on my chest. I didn't know what to do anymore.I was duty bound to protect my sister, those were my parents' last words to me but at this point my hands were tied, I didn't know what to believe anymore.Was Dane in love with that woman or was he just overwhelmed by guilt? I was so lost in his thoughts that I didn't hear my wife enter the room. I looked up, startled, as she stood before me. "Miles, please," she said softly. "I need to talk to you."I regarded her warily, not sure what to expect. "What is it, Angel?" I asked, my voice guarded.She took a deep breath, and her next words sent a chill through my body. "I'm going to visit Gianna."Blood drained from my face, and I felt my world begin to spin. "What? No, you can't!
Chapter Twenty seven: MuteGianna's POV"I can't believe this is happening to me," I thought, my heart sinking as I tried to speak but found only silence. "Why does everything always seem to go wrong?"I couldn't help but feel like the world was against me. No matter what I did, it seemed like nothing ever went my way. I was filled with a mix of terror and confusion. I had only wanted to help, and yet now I was being attacked by the very person I had tried to save. I couldn't get the Alpha out of my mind, I can still remember how the Alpha's hands tightened around my throat, I struggled to breathe, and my heart was pounding in my chest. I felt betrayed and helpless. I had wanted to do the right thing, but it had all gone so wrong, I felt like a victim of cruel fate, trapped in a nightmare from which I couldn't wake up.I could feel my breath coming in short, ragged gasps as I desperately tried to speak. But no matter how hard I tried, not a single word escaped my lips. I clut
