Alpha Edward’s POVI groaned one last time as I released my seeds. The pleasure I felt was second to none, and I couldn’t believe I experienced it from a lady I hate. Looking her way, our eyes interlocked, but she swallowed nervously and looked away. I grunted and put back on my things. Then, I looked at her one more time before leaving the room.“Tell a maid to get her a new dress. After she is dressed, you can take her back to her cell,” I told a guard, who nodded as he set to do the task. But I called him back. “Don’t drag her; allow her to walk to her cell,” I instructed before walking away.I arrived at my chamber and collapsed on the couch. A tired sigh left my lips as I massaged my forehead. My head was buzzing with thoughts, making me go crazy. So many things didn’t seem right, and one of them was the uneasy feeling I had in my chest when I thought she was dying. As if that weren’t enough, I couldn’t explain why my heart fluttered with joy when I saw her open her eyes; it felt

Alpha Edward's POVThe festival drew a crowd just as expected. Every member of the pack, even those from far away, came for the festival, and the field was so crowded. Making my way to where I would be seated with other deities, everyone who saw me bowed their heads, and I exchanged greetings with some childhood friends before getting to my seat. I exchanged greetings with my gammas and council of elders and then a few alphas who attended before taking my seat, which looked like a throne.After settling down, I declared the festival to begin, and drums began to play. It was a cultural festival, so only local drums and instruments were used. As the drums played, dancers began to dance around the fire while people cheered and watched. After the dancers entertained us, the next set of people to entertain us were the warriors. They showcased their skills, and soon the wrestling began. Some fought in their human form, while some in their wolf form. The winners won prizes, which were give

Alpha Edward’s POVI watched her gulp at my words as we held each other’s gaze. I thought she would hesitate as usual, but surprisingly, she didn't; instead, she went for the zipper of her dress, zipped it down, and took it off, leaving her in her underwear. Without wasting another moment, she took off her underwear and stood naked before me.My eyes surveyed her naked form, and the thing between my thighs jerked in anticipation. Taking a deep breath, I sipped my drink and continued staring at her naked form while I recalled what had happened a moment ago. Seeing her with Levi got me so jealous that no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, I couldn’t. So many silly thoughts were going through my head; I imagined them together, and the thought brought an uncomfortable feeling to my chest—a sense of possessiveness and protectiveness.“Crawl on your knees to me,” I demanded, and I saw her go down on her knees with no hesitation, which was new. With raised brows, I watched her obediently

Amanda's POVWith teary eyes, I stared at the letter in my hand, which was sent to me by Aunt Lily, my mother’s younger sister, who my mother lived with before she died. All this while, I thought my stepmother killed my mother, or maybe she died due to the news of my condition, but now I have come to realize that I was wrong. My stepmother didn’t kill my mother, neither did her illness kill her, but Alpha Edward's men instead killed her. He sent his men to kill my mother. As tears fell freely on my cheek, I read through the letter sent to me by Aunt Lily, and through the letter, she told me all that had happened. She told me four men barged into her home, and before they cut off my mother’s head, they declared that Alpha Edward sent them to kill my mother as payback for what I did to Elisa, his mate. My aunt went further to explain how my mother was butchered like an animal, and as I read through the letter, I couldn’t contain my emotions. Pain and anger engulfed my entire being; the

Alpha Edward's POVIt's been hours since I asked my men to lock her inside the water dungeon, and ever since then, I haven’t been at ease. Every seconds of the day, my thoughts would be filled with her, and I would groan. I couldn’t understand why I should be worried about a murderer, a woman who confessed to killing my mate. I should be thinking of other punishments to give her; she deserves nothing but a painful death for what she did. But instead, I was pacing around my study, worried about her.Grunting, I sat back in my seat and tiredly massaged my forehead. My head was pounding with a great ache, and regardless of what I did, it wasn’t helping. Sighing heavily, I picked up a file and started working on it to distract myself, but it wasn’t helping. Constantly, my mind would drift to her, and I would groan and ignore it.As I worked on the file, a silly thought came into my mind. I imagined her drowning and dying in the cage before the next morning, and I panicked. I could do anyt
