MasukHannah's POV I watch as Liam walks out of Cathylene's study with a smirk hidden in his lip, and I instantly feel the bile climb up my throat. He said he's forgiven me, but I know it's all for his selfish reasons. For his pride. For his ego. Deep down, he still wants his revenge. Stupid me. I should have known. When he defended me in front of his Mom, I should have known why he was doing it. Something he usually would never have done. I sigh as I lean my weight against Cathylene's desk. The throbbing in my head had increased and my legs felt too heavy to carry my body. Seconds later, I sense a familiar scent. And barely a moment later, Clara steps in. My eyes slightly widen. “The guards let me in on Master Liam's orders,” she explains as though she read my mind. She enters fully into the study. I hadn't moved from the spot I've been standing since Cathylene called me back in and since Liam walked out. “Master Liam says you should prepare immediately,” Clara says. “Prepare?
Nathan's POV I stare furiously into the Pack newspaper. Anger roars inside me. With this, Cathylene will give Hannah a hard time. She will blame it on her and make her life more miserable. What the fuck is wrong with Jaxon!Couldn't he just wait a bit more for me to figure things out?How can he go this low just to win a stupid election!I abandon the site I'm visiting for work, turn my car around and drive to his house. As if he was expecting me to show up, he meets me at the gate. “You are here,” he says. His face is hard and his tone rough. From the way his voice sounds, I sense weird energy. I first take a breath to calm myself. “You know who will bear the brunt of what you just did?” I ask, flashing the newspaper to his face. He scoffs. “Your secret crush, you mean.”A muscle tick off in my jaw. Who is this man before me? I stop again and force a silent breath, then I will myself to stay calm. “You are playing dirty, and that's not what you promised me. That's not who
Liam's POV “You fool!” Mom barks at me as soon as Hannah leaves.“How could you never tell me… you kept this away from me and kept silent like a fool!”“Do you realize what that girl is doing to you… to this family?!”She shakes her head, letting out a disgruntled sigh. “She should leave,” she says, a note of finality in her voice.“She must leave. I don't care what matebond you share with her, but she must leave before she completely ruins everything for me.”“It's not Hannah’s fault—”I start to say but Mom tilts abruptly. “You are still supporting her?” she scoffs irritatedly. “Even after you have seen—” She halts, walks briskly to her desk and picks up the Pack’s daily newspaper.“Take a good and hard look at that.” She flings it at me. “That is your current rating in the upcoming elections.”“I told you, son,” her voice drops. “Whoever or anything that will be an obstacle to our mission must be uprooted or cut off!”“But Mom, it happened before we married. Hannah was already p
Hannah's POV A knock on the door causes me to stop what I'm doing. “Lady Hannah, there's someone outside the gate here to find you,” the voice of a maid says from outside the door. I look up. From the mirror I’m using to check the scars on my side face. I haven't worn makeup for a while, I've been using my long hair to cover it. “Who's that asking to see me?” I ask. “She refuses to say her name. But she says I should give you this and you must come now and alone.”I take a breath. “Enter.”The maid enters and hands me a handwritten note.“Nathan.”The note says. “You are sure this person is not a man?” I ask the maid. “She's very much a woman,” the maid confirms. Who can possibly send this kind of note to me?“Bren…da?”I jump to my feet. Without another thought, I grab a shawl, pour my hair down my shoulders and walk briskly to the gate.Outside, a woman in a long blue gown stands backing the gate. A shawl covers her hair down to her neck. Slowly, I walk towards her.I am
Nathan's POV I'm about to go over and say things to Hannah when the door suddenly bursts open. My words are stopped. My feet halts. Maybe this is the universe saving me from my own weakness, I think to myself. Brenda comes into view. “You are awake,” I say happily. But she ignores me and marches straight to Hannah. “Leave. I want to talk privately to my mate,” she says to Hannah. Her tone is not nice. “Brenda…” I call softly. Brenda flashes me a displeased look. “Nathan, let me handle this if you can at least accord me some respect as your mate. Although you refuse to accept me.” “None of what happened is Hannah's fault… Please…” I say. She chuckles. “Believe me Nathan, everything that happens here is her fault.” “It's alright. I'll leave,” Hannah interjects with a smile. “Good to have you back,” she mutters to Brenda just before she turns and heads out. I sigh, bothered as the door creak shut after her. I know Hannah. She overthinks things. R
Nathan's POVImmediately Hannah blurts out about Brenda, I storm home. I march to the guest study where I know Liam will be at, but at the door, I halt. My legs stick to the ground. I can't bring myself to go in. “Hannah…” My jaw locks hard. I can’t implicate her… I can't…I know that the moment I storm inside there, I'd be offering her on a platter to Liam and my stepmother. Because definitely Cathylene and Liam will know who has told me of Brenda's whereabouts if I act rashly based on Hannah's blurts. Clenching, I force myself to turn around. The air is cold and annoyingly soothing as I march away. Back to my quarters and straight to the mini bar. As I grip the bottle of whisky, a snarl rumbles in my chest. My beast is prancing. I am furious. Furious that I can't storm into Cathylene's quarters right now and bring Brenda out. Angry at myself for being so fucking powerless. With Hannah and now with Brenda. “I'm sorry, Brenda…” I mutter, my jaw locking painfully hard. She d

~Hannah~The food tastes bland. The colours that once looked vibrant now seem so dull in my eyes. Nothing makes sense anymore. Everything looks lifeless and meaningless. I want my daughter.I want my Olivia. No one seems to care. Liam won't tell me where my daughter is. I'm going crazy everyday
~Writer’s POV~“And what in the name of the goddess is going on here!” A voice rumbles behind them.Linda marches in pulling Hannah along with her. On seeing Nathan's battered self on the ground, Hannah gasps. She turns to Liam, anger and disappointment flashing her eyes. He had not just hidden
~Writer’s POV~Inside the room he is locked up, Nathan grunts with clenched teeth. The room is pitch dark and had no openings aside the door with which he'd been pushed inside. His entire body is vibrating with anger, and his wolf is rumbling in his head. “Liam Durk! I will kill you once I'm out
