Jennita’s pov

It wasn't until then I realized I had been holding my breath.

We both turned away from each other, avoiding each other’s gazes as we apologized for letting the situation escalate out of hand. Well, I did. He just sat there, his jaw clenched, his gaze trying to settle anywhere else but on me.

“Your suggestion seemed to be well thought out and strategized, Beta Jennita, but Alpha Antonio is right. Unless we can be able to certify that the spies we’d be sending out would be cautious and easily blend in without drawing major attention to us, we can’t proceed with it.”

I nod quietly, feeling my body still brimming in anger from what had just ensued. “Yes, Your Majesty.”

The meeting continued, this time, the conversation seemed to flow more naturally between us all. Antonio chipped in once in a while, ensuring to avoid directly answering me, but I could tell as he slouched in his seat, arms folded and head tilted to the side, he looked anything but ecstatic to be here.

    Jennita’s pov I stir slowly, my brows furrowing as my eyes flutter open. A scarring light pelted through my lids, forcing me to blink severely as I turned my head with a slight groan. My limbs feel heavy, and a dull ache throbs at the back of my head. Upon scanning my surroundings, trying to remember why the hell I felt like shit, the soft haze of unfamiliar surroundings bled into focus. I was in a room, not mine. Jamal’s My eyes widened, and in an instant, I sat up, feeling the throbbing pain in my head instantly disappear as the memories came flooding in. Antonio, Brenda, the newborns…“Brenda. She… “Suddenly, the bed dipped beside me, and his familiar spicy scent instantly made my heart stutter. Sluggishly, I raised my head. Fierce grey orbs emanating darkness and a hunger so raw it left me breathless were locked on me, burning. “Jamal- “I managed, my voice hoarse. He didn’t let me finish. His mouth crashed onto mine, stealing me in a kiss that was fire and want all at once

From your reports, if Brenda had been brought in any second later while in her former condition, I... “Ray’s voice trailed, echoing in the throne room. I’m not sure whether he was looking for the right words to say, or he was trying to avoid completing the sentence any further. He didn’t look like a man who had just found out he had finally become a father after so many years; He looked mortified, angry, and regretful. “They did a scan, and the injections she administered to her were approved systematically; her fingerprints were found where she had expertly applied pressure to the bleeding. That was smart. Jamal never told me his Beta was a doctor.”A dark thought glazed over my mind, shadowing the look in my eyes before I masked the glint of emotion with my usual scowl, feigning ignorance as I scrolled through my phone. “Yeah, I’m sure that would have accounted for something then.”Already bored, I raised m

    Jennita’s povBrenda lay in a pool of her blood, having single-handedly pushed out twin cubs already mewling into the nightfall beside her.I shift back to my human form, my bones cracking into place before I carelessly take a cloak from the kit box and wrap it around me, approaching her.“Jennita...,“ her head is matted with sweat and blood, and my heart twinges with pain, hearing the relief just from calling my name, the weak smile she shot me before she took a deep breath, moving uncomfortably in the trap.“You’re doing perfectly, Brenda. Just hang in there,” I looked over the trap, uncertain. It’s a hunter’s trap, alright. I’ve seen plenty of this while on hunts or patrol, but I’ve never seen anyone get caught in one, so I was lost on what to do momentarily. “I’ll get you out of this, alright.”“No!” I’m a bit startled at the sharpness in her voice as her eyes widened a bit, streaked with horror. “Please, just check on my cubs. Make sure they get to Ray immediately. Please Jennita

    Jennita’s pov“Jennita, no one saw us.” Antonio sighed for the nth time as he swerved to the right, beating the traffic, while narrowly almost taking the life of a by-passer who audibly cursed at us. “No? What happens when Jamal discovers you took me to Dark Riser’s pack? He doesn’t know now. But he’s bound to find out. Did you think of that before dragging me along like some stuffed doll? I swear, Antonio...”“It was an emergency. Brenda needed you urgently, and I offered to help.” There was the snarky smirk on his face, as usual, looking unbothered about the situation as he increased his pace. I had no words. I could only sit back and buckle my seatbelt while hoping Brenda was still okay until we arrived. I would be grateful for Antonio’s help, but the only emotion he deserved from me was raw, burning hatred. Not even anger. I wouldn’t let him acknowledge that he had that much effect on me. Silence ensued in the car for a while. Soon, Jamal’s call came in. I bit my lower lip, sta

    Jennita's pov “Jen, come on.” I was seated still, frozen in panic from what to do, and as if my situation wasn't worse than it was, Jamal was already up, his hand out for me.My heart thumped as I raised my gaze to meet his, my eyes travelling from his outstretched hand to his face which was now morphed Into worry. “Are you okay?” The genuine concern in the tone of his voice caused my chest to tighten. He so badly wanted us out of here, and seconds ago, I shared the same interest with him too. More than ever, I didn't want to be here either. But knowing Antonio, and the fact that he already has enough dirt on me to ruin what I have going on, I couldn't risk it. I couldn't risk defying him. Unfortunately, he wasn't the type to make empty threats. I steeled my resolve as I got up, grinding my teeth to hold back from revealing my true emotions to Jamal. I had to get rid of Antonio. If he could pull a stunt like this because he could blackmail me, he could do anything in the future-

    Jennita's pov Antonio was hereEven before we walked into the restaurant, the sinking feeling settling in my stomach, my nostrils filled with the scent of him, Tasha purring and whimpering- it was a dead give away to his presence. I could be wrong. I ignored the perturbing feelings and kept my expression neutral as we walked in, my eyes betraying my feigned nonchalance by travelling around the place. And there he was. Like a magnet, my gaze was instantly drawn to him, our eyes locking the moment the glass doors shut behind us. He was sitting by the window at the end of the room, looking completely unbothered, a glass of red wine in his hand. His piercing teal colored eyes locked intensely onto mine, and for a second, it was like the whole room went still. For that brief second, his gaze subtly glanced over me, taking note of my neckline before plunging lower to drink in my curves- like he was savoring it. Goddess... Those eyes- dark and demanding as they looked now, reminded m
