Olivia's POV “Where are you taking him to? We’re sharing a ride around town today,” Simeon stopped us as we were about to enter the carriage. I had my eyebrows raised, he had not told me about any such rides. I scoffed, he barely even spoke to me anymore. These days I was not feeling particularly like the Luna anymore. It felt like that title had been taken away from me somehow. It helped that I had my job at the war college. It helped me take my mind off the things happening at the palace and they were a lot. All I knew was that if I ever needed to leave the palace in a haste, I had somewhere safe that I could retreat to. My job, I would say, was the best thing that had happened to me in a long while. “No, he's not. We have plans for this evening,” I said as respectfully as I could be. He looked at me, pissed that I would dare defy him in front of Jeremy but it was what it was. He could not just disrupt my plans on an impulse. Besides, I had a surprise birthday planned for Jeremy

“Fine, fine, just leave,” I said to her. I had made a mistake I could never retrace my steps from and I had a feeling that I would pay for it in a way that was not pleasant. Olivia's POV “Liv?” I turned around to see Damien. It had been very long since I had seen him up close. I waited for the rage that I always felt towards him to rise up and speak directly to him but nothing came. It had been so long ago, was that why I felt so numb to the pain he had caused me in the past? Was it the time or was it because I was in the middle of experiencing a different kind of pain from Simeon? “Why'd you come?” I asked, trying to lace my tone with bitterness.b“It's the bi-annual Alpha ball, even Langley and Orion who are in a cold war are here and look there, there's…” “I'm not really interested in why you're here, so long as you steer clear of my son,” I said to him and began to walk off. Maybe you should ask him about the school? my wolf reminded me. I took a few steps back and he was st

“That is, this must be fate!” I exclaimed in a high pitched tone as though very excited she had told me this. “Your Majesty, I don't know about that… I,” I listened carefully to her voice. Alira wore a hat like she did but if I could just identify the voice then perhaps I could tell if it was Alira or someone else. However, it had been four years and I could not quite remember what Alira sounded like. The poisoned needle and the man that she called her husband made me pretty sure it was her. “Nonsense! I have been looking forward to buying a horse for myself. I love horses, you see. I think I'll be paying your ranch a visit,” I said and this threw them off. They were clearly uncomfortable now and feared exposure. “We would be pleased to have you. Although I doubt we would be able to satisfy your needs,” said the man who claimed to be Lord Shepherd. “I think I will be pleased. Lady Shepherd here has such exquisite taste, I have been meaning to ask you all night, where did you get t

That stopped me dead in my tracks. The needle in my pocket suddenly felt like the least of all my concerns. The needle could kill only one person but what Axiel was talking about would result in the death of thousands of people. He wanted to kill Damien? I looked around us, hoping no one else had heard him. If word got out that they were planning to end Damien's life during what was supposed to be a friendly and peaceful ball, the council of Alphas would never trust Simeon again to host another ball like this one. “What?” because it still sounded unbelievable to my ears. How could he say such a thing in such a place? Clearly, Alpha Axiel did not know how to read a room. “It is a proposition that I would like to make with Simeon. I believe that it is possible to get rid of Damien and his pack entirely if we joined forces,” explained Alpha Axiel. He made it sound so simple as though Damien was that easy to defeat. Even if three packs joined forces to fight Damien, they may not stand

Simeon's POV It was a race between time and desire. We had to finish this before the music ended because just right after that, I had a speech to go. All kinds of things went through my mind as I struggled to find a release; I was under a lot of pressure so it was taking longer than it usually did not to add the fact that I was trying to maximise this time. I told myself it would be the last and I was hopeful that it would. Just as the music came to an end, we both shuddered in an orgasm. “That was epic,” Prinsca said, as she collapsed in my arms. “Sure,” I said, almost regretting that I had promised this would be the last time. “You're going to thank me in your speech, aren't you?” Prinsca asked in a soft voice as she kissed my neck. I pulled her away and pulled my breeches up. Right now, my immediate focus was on not getting caught, not about the speech I was clearly not ready to give. “Simeon?” “No, Prinsca, I cannot…” “I helped plan this ball, it wouldn't have been a succe
