The Hidden Agenda

Author's POV Elena stared back at the mirror, fixing her hair for the last time…it so she thought. She had an appointment with elder Taron in a few minutes and she had to look presentable…irresistible.Elena leaned closer to the mirror again, even after telling herself she was done. She couldn't stop admiring herself and her beauty. A small smile found its way to her lips. She picked up a small tube of lip gloss from the table and slowly applied it on her lips making sure her lips looked soft, shiny and perfect. Then for the upteenth time, she adjusted her hair once more, tucking a loose strand behind her ear after which she then took a deep breath and smoothened her clothes.She took a deep breath.“Perfect,” she whispered to herself.Without wasting any more time, she turned around attempting to swirl the gown she wore. She was satisfied and happy, so she turned around and left the room. The hallway to the elders quarters was quiet and heavily deserted. She made her way towards th

The Seeds Of Deception

Author's POV “Im just trying to figure out why do alphas are rejecting you. You are a young beautiful vibrant and elegant woman no man in his right answers we look at you and reject you. The alphas are not behaving as they should.” Elder Taron uttered, his finger clutching his chin as he's lost in thoughts.Elena lowered her gaze slightly, her fingers tightening around the glass of wine she was holding.“I don’t understand it either. I am everything a man wants. Beautiful and sexy. “she said proudly. “I'm I'm a elegant woman and I have done everything right. . I act the way Luna should. I speak with respect and I carry myself gracefully… yet they treat me like I don’t exist. They don't even look at me. They don't regard me as their own. They haven't even called me into their room and it's been two weeks since I arrived in this pack. What have I done wrong.” Elena is manipulative and knows how to play her victim card well.Her voice carried a hint of frustration and a bit of somethin

A Knock at Midnight… and the Child’s Silent Claim

Daniel's POV “If only we can…. Minimize the cost. That would go a long way in benefiting the pack.” Marcus nodded his gaze buried in his PC. His fingers punched each keys with precision as he sorted out the deal between I and the Duke.“Strong military force and joint allies is all we need at ….”A knock sounded. Subtle.Marcus looked at me.Marcus and I exchanged a quick look the moment the knock came in again.“who could it be?” I muttered under my breath. We weren’t expecting anyone. I looked at the clock. The hand of the clock was 5 minutes away from striking 10:00 p.m. It was late and everyone was supposed to be in bed asleep. A part of me told me it was Elena and if truly it turned out to be her, I would chase her back.“Come in,” Marcus ushered briefly, closing his laptop. The door knob twisted and opened slowly. The moon goddess knew the eye was expecting to see Elena but who I saw wasn't who I expected.Lila walked in.I froze in my tracks. My eyes quickly took in her appe

The Night the Baby Chose Them

Lila's POV I turned for the upteenth time on the bed Marcus and Daniel had provided for me in-between theirs. Sleep wasn't forthcoming. Ever since my pregnancy entered a month, sleep deprivation by the baby had become a ritual.My body felt restless, like I couldn’t find a comfortable spot, and the baby inside me seemed to be awake too, kicking and shifting. Whenever I shot my eyes to take a rest, I would instantly feel so uncomfortable and end up changing positions.I sighed softly and pushed the blanket away. The moment I took the blanket away from my body, the cool air from the window hit my skin and for a moment I let out a breath of relief but that relief was short lived as it wasn't helping the restlessness gnawing at me. I glanced over at Marcus and Daniel, both of them asleep each on their own bed. They slept soundly in a comfortable position, their steady breaths a reminder of how I was the only one wide awake in the room.I ran a hand over my belly, trying to placate and

The Tides of Concern

Lila's POV “Serve the breakfast in the room. Be fast about it, Claire before Lila wakes up…..Those words stirred me back into consciousness. My eyelids fluttered open. Daniel and I were the only ones in the room. The morning sun filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. This felt like the most peaceful morning of my life. It felt calm… peaceful… like nothing like I had felt for the past seven day. I felt like nothing had happened last night.I blinked slowly, my body still feeling a little weak from the night before. After getting to lay beside the Alphas I slept peacefully without passing out, but the headache and anxiousness was enough to keep me awake for hours.Daniel stood close to the door already dressed and he had his eyes fixed on Claire standing outside the door. He seemed to be giving her instructions on what to do after which he shut the door and turned around to see me awake. I watched a smile appear on his lips, his eyes fixed on me

The Tender Moment

Lila's POV Turned out, my belly reacted to the spiciness of the food Claire had prepared. “How could you put so much pepper in her food? Are you that dumb?” Daniel chided Claire.Claire immediately lowered her head, her hands trembling slightly.“I’m sorry, Alpha… I didn’t think….”“You didn’t think?” Daniel cut in sharply. “She’s pregnant. Everything she eats matters now. Why would you out so much spiciness into a small potion of food?”“Take it easy on her, Daniel. Claire is still a teenager. I'm sure it wasn't intentional. Don't yell at her for my sake.” I chipped in, pleadingly.Everyone knew that Daniel doesn't joke with his baby and he would get angry and terrify it at the slightest mistake. He wasn't going to let Claire get away with what she did without making sure to instill discipline and fear simultaneously.“Please don't be mad at her. Claire isn't the type of person that would intentionally spice up my food. I am sure it was unintentional.” “You are incompetent to prep

Her Past Was the Weapon

Author's POV“Any news on the Intel I need on Lila's background?” Elena inquired, pacing around with the phone held over her left ear.Silence followed until a Cold voice spoke.“No.”Elena stopped pacing immediately, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor.“What do you mean no?” she asked, her tone sharp. “I asked you to get me Intel into her background a week ago. You have got all the time you need. You’ve had enough time to dig into her life. What kind of an incompetent fool are you? I have given you enough time and I asked you if you were capable of carrying out a job within the specified time period. What the hell is stopping you from getting what I need?”“I told you,” the cold voice replied. “I told you today as a girl that there was nothing solid or concrete. There's absolutely nothing that proves who she really is. It's so hard digging into her past.”Elena’s eyes narrowed slightly. Something told me that Adrian wasn't telling me the truth because he hasn't dug in

The Unspoken Concern

Daniel’s POV As we sat over for breakfast, Elena's seat was vacant. Marcus and I had eaten half the potion of food we had in our plates and she was still yet to show herself. Surprisingly, I wasn't informed and neither was Marcus informed of her absence. I picked up my glass of water and took a sip. A long satisfying sip. Something felt awkwardly strange because Elena never missed breakfast. I wouldn't call her a foodie but she would not miss breakfast and even if she did, she seems like the kind of person that would inform either Marcus or me beforehand.I glanced at Marcus again, but he only shrugged slightly.“You have to stop looking at me like that. I don't know where she is because she didn't tell me she wouldn't be having breakfast with us today.” Marcus came off defensive and I didn't like it but I definitely didn't want to push it and have an argument with him.I told my gaze away from him and decided to focus on my breakfast when I picked up my sausage midair when I heard

A Simple Choice That Felt Like a Lie

Daniel’s POV Upon arriving to Lila's room, I saw her standing in front of the mirror with a cute flowery dress in front of her as if trying to know if you wear it or not. Different other dresses lay scattered on the bed and when she noticed I was in the room. She tilted her head, gave me a smile as if nothing ever happened.For a moment, I just stood there.Watching her. It felt strange seeing her in just her see-through bra and a thigh. Everything that had happened, I had expected her to be sad or distance considering the health of a baby have been putting her in a lot of stress but here she was looking normal and happily trying out clothes like she had somewhere important to be in the next 30 minutes.“Dexter,” she called softly. “You came immediately I sent word.”I nodded slowly and stepped further into the room.“you asked the guards to call me. What is it? Is the baby giving you complications? said.She turned back to the mirror and held the dress against her body again while
