Alexander's POV "That was... Epic. I must say" Blake sighed after hearing my side of everything that happened back at Woven Peak Pack house."It was," I agreed."But you did give a firm response of disapproval, didn't you?" He asked and that was where the loophole was because right after I asked if Lilith understood that she was giving her daughter out to become a fuck toy, she shamelessly nodded and I just walked out angrily. Without a response."I didn't. I just walked out without another word" I told Blake truthfully and I watched his ears turn bright red... From frustration."You know how the Luna is and you didn't give her a firm response? She will continue to hunt you down, to try to convince you that it's the best decision to make. You know how relentless she has always been!" Blake yelled out his frustration and I shrugged."I'll just pull out all her hair if worse comes to worse, Blake. There's no need to worry about her relentless nature" I said with an assuring pat on his
Danica's POV Bianca and I made up as quickly as three year old children would. An apology and a feathering peck was all it took and she gave me all the latest gists, including one that gave me a heart attack."I think I gave off the fact that you're his mate to him" she said casually and I swallowed nothing as I stared at her like she was suddenly a different person entirely."You did what?" I demanded and I watched her lashes flutter several times before she responded cautiously."I called you his mate... Right in front of him. Alexander already knows that you knew he was your mate" she explained and I felt my throat clogged up. She wasn't actually serious, was she? Nothing made sense. "You could have been more careful!" I yelled, completely appalled but she simply shrugged."I tried. I was careful okay? But at that moment, nothing else mattered than saving you... It just slipped." She explained and I sighed, wonderi
Alexander's POV I saw Danica for the last time when I took her to her room last night. And her words left me feeling more relaxed than I ever did while planning for a trip to this godforsaken Pack.A Pack where the Alpha was like a puppet to his wife.It wasn't through luck that she got to have me in her Pack this time. It was because I've had my speculations about them and I wanted to see it for myself. Besides, we do need their partnership. The Pack's decisions might be led by the woman, but she at least made it grow instead of running it straight to the ground.I'd applaud her for that anytime.But first things first. We deal with her overbearing self and see how things go. I had zero expectations from here anyway.Before that, I had a gift to prepare. I promised to give Danica a reward if she aced her last surgery. She did. And I wasn't one to derange from my words either.So right now I had to prepare som
Danica's POV "You know, that bracelet of yours gave me a kind of burning feeling when I tried to take it off your wrist when you were unconscious," Alexander muttered, still carrying me like a baby... a big baby."Really? It... burned?" I asked, amused yet even more confused because I was beginning to think 'HIM' could be someone like my mate or someone I could trust. But if it burned Alexander, what was that supposed to mean?Was he going to become a big jerk to me eventually too? Or was it just someone else entirely?I wished it was simply the latter.The thought of Alexander screwing me over after all these... After I'd unintentionally given my heart to him even when I vowed not to, killed me. I can't imagine what would happen if he did screw me over.I'd probably go completely out of my mind."It did, and that was when I realized it wasn't just a regular tacky bracelet. Not that I would ever call it tacky to you because it suits you," He quickly added, and I laughed. Not those u
Danica's POV The guards and Scarface left at once after that annoying yet funny yell Alexander made, leaving me with a grumpy version of him that I'd never met."It's obvious that you were jealous back there, it's the only thing I could think of that could be the reason for you yelling like that" I pointed out but he scoffed."Me? Jealous? Why would I be?" He retorted sharply, those piercing unreadable eyes locked on me."I mean... It was a bit overboard?" I murmured, unable to find the right word. Or maybe that was the right word anyway.That yell wasn't any bomb an Alpha would drop in front of his closest workers just because of any woman. And strangely, it made my cheeks flush. No, maybe it was how hard I was finding it to keep up with his attacks."You're finding this way too easy, no?" He asked and my eyes went dramatically wide as I shook my head frantically, but who was I kidding?He definitely added to
Danica's POV "This isn't fair. I'm still injured" I whined for the twentieth.. or was it the thirtieth time? But this time I stretched my two hands at him, showing him my bandaged hands with a pout on my lips."You're going to be fine" He muttered again, pulling up the zipper in front of the tank top I changed into."How?!" I exclaimed and he cut me off with a strong pull at my waist.One hand held me close to him and the other hand snaked up my chin, holding me in place as he muttered "like this" Then his lips found mine.The kiss felt different. Hot but different nonetheless. It wasn't the usual knees-weakening kiss, it was one that sent relief through every inch of my body. I could clearly feel the dull ache in my hand disappear.Like one of those kisses I remembered having while I was unconscious.When he eventually stopped and detached our lips, I was breathing hard to catch my breath, my lids blinking severally wi
