ISABEL POVThe cells in the dungeon stinked but that didn't seem to dissuade the guard who seemed determined in his belief that all spies are liars, and all liars are spies. The atmosphere was always changing, some days it was very cold, and I slept folded up, and other days it was so hot that I would rather sleep nude, if I had my ways of course. "You have to hang in there, Alpha Xavier will come for when he comes back and find out you're missing." I could hear Livia's voice in my head, and it was the only thing that was keeping me going.Livia was someone I had come to cherish a lot, she had ensured that I always had food to eat. I didn't know how she was getting the food until she came in yesterday with some bruises on her face and her arms. A fellow serving girl had observed her always going out with food and decided to rat her out.Her Madame had accused her of stealing her food but Livia had swore that she didn't. It broke my heart when she told me that the food she brought to

ISABEL POVThe damp dungeon suddenly felt very hot, the guards had rushed towards the cell when they heard me shouting at Alpha Xavier. But now, Viandrin and the rest of the guards were trying their best to be invincible.Alpha Xavier got to the intersection of the underground cell, where the staircase was, and turned and glared at me. I made a face at him, trying everything I could to communicate my dissatisfaction for his promiscuous tendencies.He stood there for a while before becoming conscious of the audience we had attracted. "Keep her here until I say otherwise Dyelin." He instructed a petite female in a very calm voice, who seemed to find the whole thing funny. I hoped I got to him, I wanted him to feel what felt, even though I believed he was masking his feelings and his smell. I had expected Alpha Xavier would be furious at Dyelin,the mistress of spy for laughing, and laughing so openly unlike the rest. But he simply moved past her and was off."Ahhhh!!!" I screamed and sat

ALPHA XAVIER POV The night seemed like a long night and sleep was far from my eyes. What could have happened? Where did I get it wrong? One minute everything was going so fine, the next minute she was visibly angry with me, with no regard whatsoever for the implications. I had woken up long before dawn, restless and tired. Was I tripping or was something happening to me? I kept thinking of Isabel, unable to get her out of my head. She did have valid reasons to be angry with me, she's a female but I also have the right to do anything I want. "I will not be tied to one flaming female." I snatched my shirt and left.I had no destination in mind, something was pulling but then, I also felt like taking a walk. I believed walking would help me clear my head, and rein in on my emotions. As I walked through the streets, a sense of calm and peace started to wash through me as the early morning breeze greeted me.With no destination, I found myself in the cemetery and seated at my usual seat,

ISABEL POVThe room seemed to be buzzing with a sound I could not understand but it was having an adverse effect on me. It seemed like I was tuning to a frequency and it was difficult to resist. It seemed like my urge to mate was suddenly heightened.What was happening to me? Was I the only one who could hear that sound? He didn't give any outward expression that he could hear it, he didn't even look at me, besides occasionally looking up to take in all of me, he really didn't care.This was wrong, very wrong. I really wanted to mate, I had never had this feeling, it was similar to the same feeling I had, the night Alpha Xavier left me hanging, just close to my first ever sexual bliss. Was this Alpha Xavier's doing? Or was it Valerian's doing? Surely he doesn't intend to be intimate with me.The next time I looked up to his eyes, there was fire in it, there was yearning, there was desire. His eyes were not just that blue sexy eyes it was earlier, it was a shade different. "Is this roo

ISABEL POVI drifted off to sleep almost immediately and collapsed on top of Alpha Xavier, tired and exhausted. Sara had not told me sexual bliss that comes from making love, especially when you love that person and you know they love you too. Alpha Xavier had confessed his love for me but I suspected he was under the influence of the moment.I had woken up before midnight to Alpha Xavier eating me out and driving me crazy with his wicked tongue. He seemed to be pulling some unseen strings attached to my body and I reacted as he dictated the tune. We made love again, and laid there cuddled up while he planted feathery kisses on my chin and ran his hand through my hair. "You are here again? You must like him huh?" A beautiful lady, probably in her late teens, dressed in white, spoke to me."I don't know, he's the first man I've ever loved..." I started to speak but trailed off. "Why does that make you uncomfortable, and don't even try to deny it. It's written all over you." She said
