CHAPTER SIXTEEN.NIGEL'S POVThe next person on my list of questions is Alpha Kai. I have heard Catania's version of the story and I know I need to hear his and after I hear his, I will go to Mia to listen to what she has to say about this issue.Not that I think she is going to tell the truth, I know she is going to lie and it's the lies I want to hear. In order to expose her, I will need to make her tell many lies from which I will do what I want to do.Honestly, I don't know what is wrong with Alpha Nolan. It's so clear.I mean everything is so clear.Catania is our true Luna and that is so evident. Mia's fakeness is visible in her eyes and in every word, even the way she walks.I honestly don't know why it's so hard for Alpha Nolan to see it? Has he been bewitched? "Beta Nigel” A masculine voice snaps me out of my thoughts and I look up to see who it is. "Yes Logan, what did he say?" I ask, referring to Alpha Kai."He said he is ready to receive you" I heave out a heavy sigh of r
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.NIGEL'S POV"Beta Nigel '' A voice calls from the staircase, snapping me out of my thoughts and I lift up my head to see who it is and when I do, I almost roll my eyes.It's the infamous Mia who thinks she is going to manipulate an entire pack and become their Luna. Such a lofty goal for a girl her age."Mia Collins" I call as I rise from my seat."Your soon to be Luna" She adds confidently and this time around I don't hold myself back from rolling my eyes. I roll them hard and scoff in mockery. I just feel like telling her that's never going to happen, but there is the time for that."Got big goals, don't we?""They are not just goals, it's my destiny. I am Alpha Nolan's mate and it is my destiny to rule by his side." She explains with all confidence and without an ounce of shame and I calmly nod my head as I look her straight in the eyes.I cannot wait for the day I'm finally going to expose her. I will personally excort get to the boundary and make sure she wal
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.NOLAN'S POVAs I ascend the staircase leading to Kai's bedroom, I keep wondering if what Nigel said back there was true.When I spoke with Mia, she told me Catania was the one who forced her to accompany her to Kai's bedroom, but when I spoke with Catania, she said the opposite and now it happens that Kai said he saw Mia forcefully pushing Catania into his bedroom. If that's the case, then it means that it's Mia who forced Catania to go to Kai's chambers. If that is the truth, then I don't know what I'm going to do, because I love Mia so much and having her lie to me about something so trivial is going to disappoint me a lot.When I think of it critically, I'm tempted to believe Catania, because she knows how much her pheromone affects someone like Kai and she is not foolish enough to go to meet him when she knows he is capable of harming her.But then, why will Mia lie and most importantly, if she truly lied, what will make her want Catania to meet with Kai against
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURWhy would she lie to me?She has absolutely no reason to lie to me. I love her and she knows it. I always take her side when there is a misunderstanding. Why then did she have to lie to me?"Sweet moon goddess!" I mumble a frustrated exclamation when I arrive at my room door. Mia is in there and I don't know if I should address this issue when I get in there or if I should just let it be. It's true that I'm disappointed at the fact that she lied to me, but it won't hurt to hear what she has to say about the matter.I stretch my hand forward and creak the room door open. I quietly peek into the bedroom and when I spot Mia lying on the bed, probably asleep, my heart misses a bit. I can perceive the sweet aroma of her pheromone, but I swear it is nothing compared to what I perceive when I am around Catania. Mia's pheromone smells almost faint, like it isn't even there, but the pheromone Catania emits is capable of putting my mind in chaos and making me want to kiss
CHAPTER TWENTYI am marching over to the dungeon with a different kind of rage boiling in my heart. Whenever I close my eyes, I can only imagine the scenario where Catania pushed Mia over to Kai so he could have her killed.She is evil and no one can tell me otherwise.I have tried my best to refrain from giving her any sort of physical punishment, but this time around she has struck a bad nerve. She has committed a grave offense and will not go unpunished!"Mate!" Ander shouts in excitement the moment we step into the dungeon and her pheromone hits my nostrils. I stop on my tracks and take in a long deep breath before walking on. Her pheromone smells like heaven and I will never be able to get enough of it."Catania!" I call with a thunderous voice the moment I step before her cell door and she rises on her feet to face me."Yes, Alpha Nolan" she replies rather confidently. "Did you finally find out the truth?" She asks with a wicked smirk plastered at the side of her beautiful lips
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONECATANIA'S POVI don’t know how long it has been, but it feels like forever ever since these men started torturing me. When they brought me in here, they had me tied to a chair and gagged my mouth with a cloth. I have been whipped, pinched, smacked, electrocuted and many other awful things I do not want to talk about. Right now I don’t have even an iota of energy left in me. I screamed and cried and begged them to stop, but they wouldn’t listen. What baffles me the most is the fact these men find this act very pleasurable. How is that so?I used to hear the statement, life is unfair, but I did understand until now. I have done absolutely nothing to deserve all this beatings, all this torture.They all hate me for nothing and what I want to do is get away from all of them.The most aching thing is that my mate has taken it upon himself to make sure my life is miserable. Everyday I can't help but wonder if he cannot actually feel this mate bond that I am feeling. Whene
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWONOLAN'S POV"How is she doing?" Nigel asks, walking into my bedroom and I let out a heavy sigh as I rise from the couch I was seated on.The moment I walked into that torture room and saw her covered in blood and bruises as a result of what the guards had done to her, I felt as guilty as sin. I did not ask them to torture her to that level and I'm going to punish them for that.Her bruises have healed fast because of our healing abilities, but she still looks miserable and my heart bleeds everytime I look at her. Ander has resorted to ignoring me.No matter how hard I have tried to get him to talk, he hasn't uttered a word and I'm really worried and above all, guilty."Are you here to chastise me about what I did?" I ask as I turn to face Nigel who has on a blank expression.He's mad at me and I can see it in his eyes. The only thing stopping him from pouncing on me right now is the fact that I'm his Alpha and he has no right to start a fight with me.If I was some
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE.MIA'S POVI think I have to be very careful these days. It seems a lot of people are getting on this issue and with every minute that passes, it's going to be more difficult for me to lie and go Scott free. I had no idea Alpha Kai was conscious of what actually went on in his bedroom, that's why I kept insisting on the lie that Catania was the one who dragged me over to his bedroom. I also totally forgot about the fact that she had been locked up for most of the time and so she had no idea where Alpha Kai's bedroom was situated.The worst case of all is that I forgot that the people around here respect me a lot and it's impossible for Catania to drag me for such a long distance without anyone stopping her.So many loopholes that could've gotten me in a very compromising situation. When Alpha Nolan mentioned these facts, I almost melted on my spot and the only thing I could do was accept the truth and apologize, but still I lied about the fact that Catania pushed m
