Chapter 21Ethan’s POVSince Alexander had thrown his challenge to me a few days ago, I had found myself very busy, I had my men making inquiries about the people who could be working with him, I was trying to find his pack and once I did, I could monitor their movements and hopefully catch them in the act of attacking my people.But so far, I was only sure of the woman living with Alexander, my people had reported her name to me as Zara, she had no last name since was abandoned in front of an orphanage when she was a baby, she had been named there as well, she was very similar to Alexander in many ways, she was just a troublemaker like him and both of them were a bunch of low lives, they seemed a perfect match for one other in my opinion.Alexander acted like he was all tough and strong but he was not, he cared about the people around him and they could be used to bring him down to his knees, the more I thought about it, Alexander was a ticking time bomb and this woman called Zara c

Chapter 23Sharon Sandoval’s POVI had known that the past might come back to haunt us but I had not cared to think that it might be so soon, I had thought I would have become a wrinkly old woman before it happened but it seemed that having a child who was way too smart for her own good was not a very good thing.I wondered why she could not just accept her life as it was, she should have enjoyed everything I worked hard for her to become but no, she just had to go digging into things that could only bring problems for everyone else around her.I massaged my temples feeling the beginnings of a headache coming on, this was supposed to be a relaxing vacation for me but I ended up finding myself in a myriad of family drama.My troubled thoughts were disturbed by foot steps, I raised my head to look at the owner of the footsteps and it was Ethan, my son in law, he had a troubled look on his face, looking at him now, who would have ever believed that he could turn out like this, he looked

Zara's POVI kept looking at the elegant piece of paper in my hand, wonder if it had been delivered by mistake, I read the works written in an elegant hand."Mr. Alexander Dupree and the lovely Zara are here by invited to the Alpha and Luna's ball wchich is scheduled to take place on the 14th of the current month, we will the honored by your presence"I wondered what to make iof this, I did not want to go to some stupid fany party at the Dupree mansion, I will have to smile and be nice every one I met there and that is was definitely not my style.I walked back into the house, I was home alone today, Xander had a few things to handle abd he will be back later, I was not sure if I should cook him dinner or something since I was not really sure what he enjoyed.A smile crossed my lips, it was funny really, I had followed him around for years and I hardly new anything important about him, I was simply enamored by his domineering personality and how I felt when he was close to me.Now, I

Chapter 28Maria's POV"Absolutely not" I said.Alexander had the guts to rool his eyes at me as he placed the unconscious woman on the bed and might I add, she was also covered in blood stains ruining the expensive wool bed covers."I just need her to stay here for a few days and then I will come and get her" he said as he straightened up. I noticed that he also had blood splattered all over his clothes as well and there was a wildness in his eyes."What happened?? What trouble did you guys land yourself in this time?" I asked him."Nothing that concerns you, just let her stay here until I have settled everything" he said.Why exactly was I angry about this? Normally I would have been more than willing to help anyone in need but I was not feeling very charitable towards the lady in the bed.I knew even without being told hat this was Zara, she was Alexander's mate and though I will never admit it out loud, I hated that fact greatly."Ethan will not want her here" I said finally out

Chapter 30Alexander’s POVFinding Silas had proved to be quite easy in the end, all I had to do was to trust a city boy to show his true colors in a sleepy country town, the fool had booked an entire hotel with his goons and threw a lavish rooftop party, we just had to follow the sound of loud music and heavy drinking and we had him on our hands.I could not wait to rip him apart for what he dared to do to Zara, he was such a coward, going after Zara instead of facing me like a man, leader to leader but he had to go ahead and play a cowardly game, I was no coward, I fought fair and square.“He is inside here, we have confirmed it” Sam said to me when we got to the rowdy hotel.I nodded my head and said “Let’s go and get this over with, I have to get back to Zara”We got out of the car and started toward the entrance, the guards must have recognized me because I could see the fear immediately register on their faces.Sam and the others flanked me on both sides as we got to the door, I
