LOGINSKYE’S POV“Out with it.” I demanded.Alpha Gale tutted. “Not so fast now, hostess. We haven’t concluded our tour of the house now have we?”“When did I promise you a tour?”I was irked. We were on a small path through my mum’s flower patch. The sun was dimming and a humid chill hung in the air.Alpha Gale had told me to show him this garden, yet he still hadn’t told me what a Silver Wolf is! Instead, he asked why my father planted it or whether I knew how to ride the horse I was brushing like I wanted to bruise. His words, not mine! I’d had enough. I trudged to a patch of grass and sat cross legged.To my surprise, Alpha Gale sat across from me, mirroring my position.I stared hard at him.“What are you doing?”“Isn’t it obvious?”“Aren’t you supposed to be the dignified Rogue Alpha? What are you doing on the ground?”“Aren’t you supposed to be showing me around your flower patch? What are you doing on the ground?”I rolled my eyes. I wasn’t going to engage in his argument. After ten
(SKYE’S POV)“What the heck are you talking about?”Alpha Gale was still staring at me.“The Silver Wolf,” he repeated flatly. I gaped at him. Was he just trying to annoy me on purpose? He glanced at the door, then at me, and beckoned. “Come closer.” I walked over to his side of the bed.“What?”“Closer,” he whispered, which I obliged. I bent my ear to his lips to hear what the Silver Wolf was, but then he said, “Would you like to have some of my soup?”“Huh?” I pulled away. He held up a spoonful of chicken soup. “Here, have some. Let’s eat together. We’re mates, after all. We should share things like this.”“Alpha Gale, are you trying to rile me on purpose?”It might as well have been rhetorical because he didn’t answer, but simply set the tray aside after putting chicken into his mouth while staring at me with an amused twinkle.Ugh! If I had my way I would…!He grabbed my hand and pulled me onto his lap. “If you had your way, you’d what?” He said in a deep seductive voice as he dre
(SKYE’S POV)I stared at Gale’s body with shock, disbelief and… fear. I rushed over to him in an instant and shook his unconscious body.“Al- Alpha Gale?” My voice quivered. “Wake up,” I whispered. “Hey! Wake up!” I yelled, dread curled in my gut. What had I done? What- How had I done this?“Mila!!” I screamed. “Mila, help!”“James!” I screamed their names while knee deep in the muddy ground, cradling Alpha Gale’s head on my lap with trembling hands.“Skye!?” James shouted as he ran towards me, with Mila close behind him. “What… What happened?” He looked shocked to see Gale’s unconscious body.“Oh my goodness,” Mila gasped. “Take him inside, James.”James hurriedly grabbed Alpha Gale’s body from my trembling hands and lifted him. He grunted and turned toward the house. I looked at my hands, trembling and covered in mud.I shut out everything around me and didn’t hear Mila. The voices in my head were too loud.You’re going crazy.What type of freak are you?Omega scum.I grabbed my hea
SKYE’S POVI tried slamming the door in his face, but he placed his foot in front of it.“Not so fast.”I stole a glance at Mila and James, engrossed in conversation while eating. The last thing I wanted was for Mila to see Alex or for him to come into my home, so I stepped outside and shut the door.“Why are you here, Alex?” I demanded.“Is that how you welcome the love of your life?” Alex replied cockily. His eyebrows furrowed. “What happened to your face?”“What do you want?” I seethed, ignoring his question.“I wanted to see you again. I searched the manor for you but couldn't find you. Then I asked Madame Adelaide, and she said you'd gone home to visit your dad.”I gave him a hard look.“Get lost, Alex.”He looked confused, then let out a short laugh.“That's not the warm welcome I was expecting.”I scoffed.“What did you expect? That I'd straddle you and kiss you to show how excited I am to see you?” I replied sarcastically.“Yeah, pretty much.”A nerve twitched in my forehead.
GALE’S POV“What?”She pushed her way into the room.“Who even are you?” Nolan asked.“I’m Philippa Whitemane. Who are you? His lapdog?” she retorted.I returned into the room before Nolan could reply and demanded. “What do you mean?”.“Won’t you at least offer a girl some wine first?” Phillipa whined as she made herself comfortable on the settee.I glared at her. “It’s either you tell me what’s wrong or I throw you out.”She scoffed and murmured, “So rude.”“A little birdie told me that your slave girl was kidnapped in the town last night by a group of criminals and she was brutally tortured,” she said while admiring her manicured nails.My blood ran cold.“What?” I growled.Her eyes met mine. “You heard me.”“Why should he believe anything you say, Philomena,” Nolan drawled.She shot him a dangerous glare. “It’s Lady Philippa, you dim-wit.”Nolan’s eyes narrowed, “What did you just say?”She ignored him completely, focusing her attention on me. “Doubt me if you wish, but she’s proba
Chapter 27 – The Secret In The Walls“What are you doing?”“Admiring the greenery.” I said matter-of-factly.She stared at me suspiciously but said nothing and instead walked over to the bench swing where she sat and began reading. I turned away, pretending to admire the flowers in the hedge whilst continuing my search. However, I could tell that she was still watching me.I strolled along the wall twice but didn’t find anything. I was about giving up when I spotted a light, coming from a spot in between the leaves of the hedge. The sunlight was reflecting off of something that looked like a doorknob!“If you keep staring at the plants I’m going to assume that you’ve officially gone mad.” I turned to find Grace staring at me, her book lay shut beside her.“With a place as beautiful as this, it’s hard not to get awe-struck.”“If you don’t tell me exactly what’s going on, you’re going to be a lot more than awe-struck.” A threat.After a tense pause, I asked, “Is something…the matter,
SKYE’S POV “What am I doing?” Gale asked incredulously, letting go of Alex’s collar “What are you doing with this scum?”“I would appreciate it if you minded your business, Alpha Gale.” I replied coldly.Alex snickered. He shrugged his collar where Alpha Gale had held him, and walked away.Gale sc
SKYE’S POVNolan.The beta of the Rogue Alpha of Shadowfen.I couldn’t help but wonder what the second-in-command to a he-wolf as ruthless as Alpha Gale was capable of.Stilling the rising tremor in my voice, I demanded, “What are you doing here?”He took some steps closer to me so he could whisper
GALE’S POVNolan blocked my punch with his right hand. He tried delivering an uppercut, but I dodged, grabbed his hand, picked and slammed him on the sandy ground.Grabbing his hand, I pulled him to his feet.We were barefoot in the large wrestling ring located on the training ground, and we had be
SKYE’S POV“Please don’t hurt me,” I whispered. Surely he wouldn’t kill me if I looked innocent and helpless.I avoided eye contact with him like my life depended on it. I didn’t want him to, maybe, see into my thoughts or something.“You can stop shaking like a chicken, I won’t be eating you for d
