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
Chapter twenty eight: I hate the rogue! Miles POVI do not understand the kind of stubborn person the moon goddess gave to me as a mate.My mate and I were in the middle of a heated argument. We were fighting about whether or not to let her visit Gianna, who was sick. I wanted to keep my mate away, because I didn't want her anywhere near Gianna But my mate was adamant. We were both shouting, and the tension in the room was palpable."You're being unreasonable" I shouted, my voice rising. "Can't you see that this is for the best?""No, I can't see that," my mate yelled back, her face flushed with anger. "You're being selfish and short-sighted. Gianna needs me right now. Can't you see how much she's hurting? Can't you show a little compassion?"I balled up my fists, and I could feel my pulse racing. I was so angry, and I wanted to lash out. I wanted to hurt my mate, to make her understand how I was feeling. But as I raised my fist, something stopped me. I couldn't bring myself to do i
Chapter 29: The Alpha is now a monster Beta Miles POVMy phone was literally blowing up with millions of calls and text messages. Handling a pack as large as this was a huge problem and to make matters worse, Dane has solely handed everything to me, totally ignoring his duties as Alpha all because of that so-called rogue.Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my head causing me to gasp. Sitting up on the bed, I held my head in pain as I quietly hissed to myself waiting until the throbbing pain in my head lessened. I dragged myself into the bathroom, gazing at myself in the mirror, I had become a shadow of myself in days all because I was carrying the weight of my problems alone on my shoulders.I was exhausted and it showed on my face, my eyes were sunken and I looked haggard. I brushed my wet hair before stepping into the shower allowing the steamy hot water to stream down my body.Somehow, Shanna invaded my thoughts as images of her bound in her cell room kept appearing in my head.
Chapter thirty: The Alpha hurt me again Beta Miles POV"No... No, that's not possible. It was only a few kicks and punches, I mean I expected someone to stop me. You know how I get when my wolf takes over me in my angry state, I barely have a hold over myself" The Alpha said as he paced the length of breath of the room repeating incoherent words to himself.Did this man just say a few kicks and punches? Even I wouldn't have survived the severity of those blows, they were brutal.He rushed to Angel and she screamed angrily making Dane take two steps back in guilt and fear."Are you happy now! Are you satisfied?" Angel asked crying as Dane tried to come closer but Angel glared angrily at him hugging Gianna's bloodied body to herself."How could you Dane, how could you hurt this innocent girl like this, she did absolutely nothing to you, the only thing she did wrong was wandering into this pack and trying to save you when your adulterous wife tried to kill you but...""Angel..." I warne
Chapter Thirty one: I hurt the rogue, again Dane's POVHours passed after a series of training sessions with the warriors but still I wasn't relaxed. There was this tugging feeling in my chest that I desperately needed to let go off.I had spent all my time transferring aggression on the warriors and my wolf kept punishing me. I knew I had done something very wrong and I needed to rectify it somehow but I didn't just know what to do. I jumped to my feet as a sweaty Miles barged through my door interrupting my train of thoughts."You're still here, you've been like this since morning, loosen up Dane" Miles said, his lips set in a firm line causing me to shake my head.I wish it was that easy, Miles would never understand how bad my situation was, his major concern was just all about making preparations for the moon ball, giving me details and making sure I was actively involved."You don't understand Miles, I've hurt that girl in unimaginable ways, thinking about it now, she only wan
