Ciara's POV "What do you have to say to what she just said? Did she tell you that Alexia's ex boyfriend is Adrian or you are the one who gave him a name?" Michael asked me but I was utterly dumbfounded. Ruby told them already that Alexia's boyfriend is Nathan... This would make me look as though I was the one lying and I couldn't get this lie off me without being sensible. I looked at Ruby, her expression was still the same. "Well Michael..." I started. "If I tell you that I don't have an idea of what is happening right now you probably won't believe me. This girl in front of you is a big time trickster. You heard all I explained to you right? That is the truth and that's what happened, I want you to believe me and not this girl." "But why should we believe that you are the one saying the truth?" "Alpha, let me speak the truth now..." Ruby stood up, she looked left to me and right to the Alphas. "If I had known that this was Beta Ciara's plan, I wouldn't have go

Ciara's POV "I am sure you guys are waiting for her to go out of the house." From behind us came a voice er could recognize. We turned around and saw Ruby, with her smirking face exuding her antagonism. I clenched my fists to control my anger that was building up inside of me. What was she doing here now? "Oh no dear, don't look at me with that kind of eyes... I know that's what you guys are waiting for and that's the reason the Alphas didn't go to their office today. Are you guys scared? You don't have to be, it's normal for you to trust people you aren't supposed to." She glimpsed at the sky above her and returned her cold, dirty and mean eyes to us. When she saw that none of us answered her, she continued. "Okay, let me sooth your mind. Can you see Alexia going in now? She has gone to dress up and she will be leaving in ten minutes... I think that's enough for you to prepare for your shadowing, just don't be too heart broken. You know I can't bear to see you guys in pa

Alexia's POVI almost cried my eyes out of their sockets behind the door I sat, leaning on. I was angry at myself, angry at the Alphas, angry at Ruby. I was angry at myself because I trusted Ruby, the Alphas couldn't support me and trust me and I was angry at Ruby because she was the one making life seem more difficult for me in what I deemed to be my Haven. They all stood in front of my door, knocking severally and begging me to open but I didn't listen any of them, despite their sweet words and convincing promises. I felt hurt. I couldn't think of a thing that would pacify me and make me feel less angry at them, I just felt like crying more and more, I wanted to cry out all the pain in me and become empty of pain and discomfort. How could Ruby do this to me, someone I considered to be a part of me. How could she betray me like that and try to end my relationship with my mates and they as well believed her? Why was life this hard to me? Was my fate just cursed or was I the ac

Alexia's POV We were riding very through the woods after leaving the Yaran's castle where Ciara, Miles and Michael had gone to do some thing I wasn't told about. I just stood outside of the castle watching from afar with the soldiers behind me watching over me and they came back just as soon as they entered the castle. I asked them several times what they went to do there and that too so quickly but they didn't tell me. It was later I discovered, let me just say I overheard them saying it. That had gone to kill the servant of my dad who tried to create misunderstanding between I and them, I wondered how they knew he was coming to this castle today... Though, I shivered at that thought because I didn't know how they had killed him, by stabbing, by suffocating, my strangling, I didn't know and a reason for killing him. Whichever way he was killed, I was sure blood would be splattered. It was probably because he refused to tell them who had sent him to do it but still, they shouldn'

Alexia's POV What even gave ever the effrontery to come into my room to say such nonsense to me? Is she witty? I knew with her reaction when she saw me that she didn't like me and still I didn't have problem with me because I didn't like her as well. I had known that I can just stay without her in this place. She still sat on the table at one side of my table waiting for me to speak but I didn't say a word to her. I just ignored her. She was only trying to provoke for no reason, how could she be do mean? When I saw that she wasn't ready to move, I began to rake in the closet to see if I would find any dress that would fit well on me. I slid into a simple dress, fixed my hair while still ignoring her and put on my shoes before leaving the room. I walked through the halls, not knowing exactly where I was when I heard female voices which I couldn't recognize coming from a room. I looked back, she didn't come after me so I sighed. "That lady is so lucky, can't you see? She is
