Nadia's POV
Two months later
A knock on the door wiped away the last dregs of sleep from my eyes as I stood up and headed towards it with a smile for my husband.
I pulled the door open and my lips fell apart. Of all the people I had expected, She wasn't part of them.
"From the look your face, Luna Nadia…" She drawled sarcastically
"you were expecting someone else." She completed before pushing the door backwards and walked in without an invite.
When did Nina ever live by the rules anyway? I was taken aback because I wasn't prepared to see my sister after two months. Although she had come back to the Pack, since we weren't on good terms, she never called nor visited.
"What do you want, Nina?" The question rolled off my lips when I finally found my voice just as nervousness clawed at my spine.
I knew whatever brought her here wasn't good. She darted her eyes around the big living area before finally settling her spiteful gaze on me. I summoned the courage to maintain a bold front.
"You must be happy living my life. I can see how well that has played." She said as I followed her into the living area.
"You were the one who ran off on the day of the wedding without leaving a message, do not try to play the victim card." For whatever reason she came here, I wasn't having it.
It had taken me two months to earn Williams trust after the awkward start we had and now she was acting entitled.
"And you saw it as a convenient time to snatch him away from me because of a silly childhood crush! Or you think I never knew that you liked him."
I swallowed. I sucked at hiding my affection but after Harry asked me out, I tried to suppress my feelings for Will only to get stabbed in the back however I would not reduce myself to her level.
"I want him back. He belongs to me. He has always and he will always.If you choose to keep him, he won't remain yours for too long." She threatened.
The truth was I was already in love with him and here was my sister who had taken one month to come back home threatening me.
"What do you mean by that?" My eyebrows furrowed.
A sinister sneer creased on her face as she covered the distance between us. Although I backed away she leaned in closer "Watch me take back what's mine either by hook or crook."
"How dare you threaten my wife, Nina?" I turned my neck to see him.
My shoulders sagged in relief when I saw him. Even after two months I still could not face Nina on my own. Words could not express my joy at the fact that he had stood up for me.
"Will dear, I wasn't threatening her. I-" She put on her rehearsed soft countenance I was already used to.
It was the exact one she used for our parents whenever she was in trouble or she had done something wrong and it usually worked on them.
"Save it. I forgave you for what you did and allowed you back into the Pack however there is a limit to what I can take Nina and you know it." He muttered harshly as he walked towards me.
Placing his arm on my waist, he pulled me closer.
"Just a friendly warning before you go, I do not want to ever see you in my house again except by invitation. And do not ever threaten Nadia again or you'll regret it. Now get out!" He hurled harsh words at her.
Nina went pale almost immediately, her expression a mixture of shock and fear.
"What?"
"You heard me. You lost every right to call me yours the day you made a choice of leaving me at the altar without any reason."
"Will, you definitely can't throw me out of the house."
"You meant my house? Well, watch me."
"Rosa!" He called for our head maid.
"Yes Alpha. You're welcome." A young blonde strode out of the kitchen.
"See Miss Winterbourne out." He instructed her.
"Miss, please." Rosa had opened the door leading to the hallway.
Nina locked gazes with me before turning around. I could see hatred glint in her eyeballs. I leaned into Will's strong frame inhaling his sweet scent while thinking of what to do to stop Nina.
He let out a long sigh and pressed my body tightly against his firm chest. His dark eyes seemed to drink me in as we stared into each other's faces.
His smile slowly spread across his face as our gazes connected. I smiled back at him and placed a small kiss on his lips. We both giggled softly as he put his arms around me and held me close against him.
His scent filled my lungs as he buried his nose in my neck and breathed deeply. It was all I wanted in the world right now to hold him like this forever without Nina's threat hanging over our heads.
"I hope I wasn't late." He chuckled.
"No, you came in at the perfect time, thank you, my knight in shining armour." I mouthed before he pulled me into his arms again.
However for some reason, Nina's words just before Will came to my rescue filled my innards up with dread and I knew the inevitable had happened. My sister had declared a war. A war I wasn't ready for.
Although Will had stopped her from saying hurtful things but if I knew my sister at all, she never spoke empty words. This was only just the beginning. She meant what she said. No one dared go to war with Nina Winterbourne. She would most likely win.
However, not this time, I would not back down without a fight because whatever it was, Nina was planning something big and I had to be prepared.
NADIA'S POV.I walked back to the restaurant, smiling and greeting anyone who made eye contact with me. My joy was over the top. I couldn't help but express my happiness.It was a burning cauldron inside of him.When I got back to the restaurant, Titan and Anna were still talking, and laughing. It felt like they'd known each other for some time.I walked into the restaurant, and made my way towards them."Jeez, Alpha Titan was just telling me a funny joke. If you hear it, you'll burst into laughter." Anna said, vibrating with laughter."Okay… what's it?" I asked."Now, listen well. A duck, and a frog…" he began, and I paid attention, but by the time he was done, I burst into a shrill laughter I had fueled myself instead of Titan's joke.Anna had definitely fallen for Tit
NADIA'S POV.The next day, I went to Anna's room, and saw her scrolling through her phone, while she lay on the bed, with her back turned upwards."Hey." I called, with a smile, closing her door, and going to join her on the bed."Hey hey." She replied cheerfully, turning over, so her back was on the bed."What are you so engrossed in?" I asked, snatching her phone, and saw she was staring at the photo of a handsome young man."Woah. He's cool." I said, and she chuckled."Are married women allowed to say that?" She asked, and I laughed."What's wrong with appreciating beauty? You were doing the same thing, too." I shot back, passing her phone back to her, and she grinned."You know… there's actually someone who's as handsome as this. Maybe more." She said, biting the nail on her thumb.
NADIA’S POVThat night, I felt so good and relieved while I was on the bed with Will. To think that in the last few hours, I felt so depressed, and heartbroken. I didn’t know how I could live with the fact that Nina was going to die, and I wouldn’t see or hear of her anymore.No, it was best for her to be given the chance to atone for her sins, at least. And as her family member, I was the only one who could plead for her or make her freedom from death, happen. Will walked out of the bathroom, and cleaned his hair with his towel.“I hope you’re now satisfied, Nadia?” He asked, with a charming smile.I loved the atmosphere around. It was a light, and happy one. At least, our enemy was gone now, and we had given her a judgement that wouldn’t burden anyone. The only thing I hoped for was that she would learn her lessons, and turn a new leaf.
NADIA’S POV“Nadia, you need to stop brooding about this. It’s been two days now, and you aren’t eating as you ought to. All because of your half-sister who wouldn’t bat an eye if you were the one in that shoe?” Anna complained as she sat before me in the living room.She was right. Nina wouldn’t bat an eye if I were the one whose punishment was death. In fact, she would be happy that I was going to be killed, and therefore be out of this world, and her way of getting who she wanted, which was Will.But then, I wasn’t her. This is me, and I can’t bring myself to accept Will’s judgement. In fact, it was seeming more like Will had done something to ensure my calls wouldn’t get to him. Even Tristan wasn’t answering my calls, and it was certain it was on Will’s order, so I can’t blame him.I couldn’t even get angry
ALPHA WILL’S POVAs soon as we got to Los Angeles, I checked my wristwatch, and noticed I still had time, and I could even get to the hotel before the client I’m meant to see, arrives.I wasn’t meant to come out for anything regarding business because I had a lot going on which I had to settle, but this was really important.It was about a contract which we had once signed, but there was something that needed to be changed in some of the terms and conditions, and my presence and signature was needed before it could be processed.Well, it was also a good distraction to take my mind off the fact that I had ordered the guards to behead Nina. That was the most suitable punishment for her. In fact, if there was any other punishment worse than death, I would give it to her.She had made me feel a bit less of an Alpha because of the way she managed to play me, and made
NADIA’S POVIt had been two days since Will stayed in his study, thinking of the perfect punishment to give Nina. Although, he allowed me in whenever I wanted to check up on him, but he didn’t come to sleep in the room. He ate, drank and did everything in his study.He had said that it was until he thought of the perfect punishment that he would find himself worthy to sleep by my side, and do things with me. Although, I understood how bad he still felt when he found out that I was framed, and then he turned his back against me when the world did. It was more like he was beating himself up, and several times, I had told him I had forgiven him, and it was fine.Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to be with me.“Will, it’s time you stop beating yourself up on this. Her being in the dungeon is enough punishment for the atrocities she has caused.” I said to him as I looked
