Victoria's POVThe jewelry dealer bowed and then left. Alpha Steven then faced the crowd and spoke. “From the witness I just called, it was obvious that Luna Victoria has been wrongly accused. She just lost her husband, and as if that was not enough, she is being accused of killing her husband by the same men who are supposed to be helping her.” He paused and picked up an iPad. “In this iPad is a confirmation from the technical expert on Instagram. They are stating here that those messages were fabricated and all lies. You all can check it yourself,” he said and passed the iPad to an alpha who looked at it and then passed it to another.With stunned eyes, I stared at what was going on. I wondered how Bernard had gathered all this in just a space of twenty-four hours. How could he do all this? With a deep sniffle, I wiped the tears off my cheek and watched the alphas as they continued passing the iPad to each other.“From that statement, it was clear that those texts and chats were fab

Alpha Derick’s POV“I have to leave,” I spoke in a hurry and tried to leave the bed, but the pain in my arm shot through me. “You have to please lay back; you are not fully healed,” he said, and a frown spread across my face. “Why am I still injured? Is there no healer here?” I asked the man, and he sighed. “We couldn't get a healer because we didn't want anyone to know that you are here since we don't know who was involved in planning your death," he explained, and I sighed. Indeed, he was right."Thank you, but I have to leave now. I don't know what has become of my wife and my son, even my pack," I spoke in worry, and the man smiled. "You mean Luna Victoria?" He asked, and I raised a brow at him, curious to know what he wanted to say to me. "Luna Victoria is the caretaker of your pack until your son Aidan is of age, but we heard your beta is fighting her for it." "That bastard," I grunted. Now I knew his plan; his plan was to kill me and take my pack."I need to leave; where are we

Victoria's POVI could see the questions in his eyes as he stared at me. He must have noticed the way I was acting strangely, and I knew I had to do something about it.“Is there something wrong ?” He asked, but I shook my head. “I'm just yet to believe that this is really you. It feels like I'm kissing a ghost, and I would just wake up, and all this will be a dream,” I said, and he smiled and then cupped my face with his both hands. “This is me, my love. I'm not going anywhere,” he said, and I beamed.“Mine,” my wolf howled loudly in my head, and I smiled. The truth was that I was so shocked and at the same time happy to see that my Derick was alive. But I was scared, scared of him finding out what I had with Bernard. I wondered what he would do if he got to know that I had been sleeping with Bernard. “Well, that is your cross to bear,” my wolf spat, and I sighed within me.“Something is really bothering you. Can you tell me what it is? It seems like you are not happy to see me,” he

Victoria's POVMy heart raced in my chest as I saw him holding the bouquet of roses that Bernard gave me, and to make matters worse, he was about to read the love letter Bernard had written. Quickly, I ran to him and snatched the bouquet of flowers from him. I could see he looked a bit confused at my behavior.“You can't read it, Derick; it belongs to Jane,” I lied, and Derick furrowed his brow. “Jane's,” he asked, and I nodded, making sure to hide any uneasiness in me. “Yes, she is having issues with her mate, and he gave this to her, but she refused to accept it and wanted to throw it away, so I took it from her and decided to keep it with me until her mind is calm,” I lied, hoping my lies were convincing enough.Derick looked confused at my words, but he nodded his head and walked out of the closet. A sigh left my lips, and quickly, I went for the paper and began tearing it. After tearing it, I hid it in my bag because I couldn't throw it in the waste bin. “Joke's on you to actuall

Victoria's POVI tried to look away from those questioning eyes of his, as the danger in them made me shook in fear. I tried to think of something that might be able to convince him that I was fine and nothing happened, but the more I kept quiet, the more suspicious I looked in front of him.“I told you before that nothing happened. Why is it that you don't want to believe me?” I said through gritted teeth, then walked up to him. I have to use this to convince him, else he will corner me.The look in his eyes hasn't changed one bit. He is still suspicious of me.“ I've said it more than 100 times since you arrived that nothing ever happened. I don't know what happened when you went to the dungeon, and now you are back, asking more questions. What exactly did Tony tell you?” I held his arms, trying to appear convincing to him.“I want you to know that anything he tells you is a lie. He's just trying to tear us apart, and you have to believe me!” I added.I tried to look away from him,
