Alpha Alfredo’s Pov Slowly opening my eyes, they landed on Sheila who was sleeping peacefully beside me, her arms on my chest. “You'll pay for your humiliation, Alpha Farell," I muttered under my breath, as I gently pushed Sheila's arms away. "Alfie," Sheila stirred half awake, pulling me closer to her. “I need to clear my head,” I said, and got out of her arms and out of bed. Lightning struck in the sky, lightening the darkened house in the early hours of the morning, as I descended down the stairs. The moisture in the air was enough to tell that it was going to rain. Either way, it was a gloomy feeling for me as I found my way in the dim light towards my mother’s door. “I thought we were getting a drink to clear our heads?” Dex asked as he noticed the path I was taking. “We would clear our heads after we’ve talked to mother,” I said as I let my mind push me in her direction. The guard stood in front of me, not stopping me like before, instead opening the door for me. I nodde

Sheila’s POV My eyes shot open at the sound of thunder, making me wake up abruptly. Sitting upright, memories of the lovemaking with Alfredo flooded my thoughts, causing me to sigh, and stray tears ran down my cheeks. Last night love making was different, it felt like he was trying to pour out his frustration and I was just lying around waiting as the perfect prey.Wiping the tears with the back of my hand and stifling a yawn I got out of bed, with no idea of what to do for the day.I walked over to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror as I blankly stared at my reflection. It reminded me of the same look I usually gave my mom whenever I needed attention. “Luna Aziza was right,” I mumbled under my breath as I bent over the faucet to wash my face. “I need an heir, that way my place in Alfredo's life and heart is secured” I continued my monologue, stretching my hand for a towel for me to wipe my face.I overheard the door to the room creaking open, and I could already tell wh

Alpha Alfredo’s Pov I was getting really bored of the lady standing in front of me. For one, she didn’t introduce herself and I couldn’t care less but the fact that she was beating around the bush irritated me.I mindlinked Sarah to go get her out of my office. Sarah didn’t wait a second to carry out her instructions as soon as she stepped in.“I guess Melissa isn’t as important as you claim,” the lady said, looking deeply into my eyes.“Come on,” Sarah said and was about to drag her out.“Give us a minute, Sarah,” I said, looking at the lady in front of me who had a triumphant smirk on her lips. How did she know about Melissa and me? Her face doesn’t ring a bell, and I’m pretty sure she’s no friend of Melissa.“But—““Leave,” I said firmly.Without another word, Sarah bowed and walked out.“Who are you?” “I’m Claire Kennedy,” she answered confidently, seeing that she had my attention. Just like her face didn’t look familiar, neither did her name. There were only a few people who k

Alpha Alfredo’s POVThe car was silent as we drove to Lockhart Pack, I could see Sheila throwing side glances at Claire and also at me but I pretended like I was focused on my driving. Well, that didn't last long as Sheila began her interrogation, asking all sorts of questions and Claire was wise enough to agree to being a seer, and that kept her quiet and satisfied. I wouldn't blame Sheila though, if I were to be in her shoes, and some random man I've never seen before suddenly shows up when we're on our way for something important I'd be suspicious. And to make things worse, I didn't fill her in completely, I only told her we'd be having company. “Looks like a lot of things have changed since the last time I came here,” Sheila said as we drove into Lockhart's territory. "You're right, Love," I said in agreement, placing my hands on hers and caressing it gently. They have turned everywhere into a sort of greenery with plants dotting almost every region.After driving for about fiv

Claire’s POV I knew this was a done deal the moment Alpha Brian shook my hand, as we were about leaving his study."One more thing," he pointed out as we were almost at the door. "You can't just communicate with her with a normal phone. It can be tracked," he explained. "I've got a few burner phones. I'll have my wife give it to you before you leave."I couldn't help but smile at his ability to think ahead. Alfredo and I have been so excited about the outcome of this war even though it was just the two of us who knows what this war really meant, that we didn't even consider the possibility of our phones being tracked."Thank you, Alpha Brian," I said sincerely from my heart, because if we were caught, not even Aiden would be able to spare me from Alpha Farrell's wrath."Lunch would be served soon," Luna Russell informed, as we all got out of the study, leaving Alpha Brian behind."I won't be staying for Lunch, Luna Russell," I informed her."Why dear?" She faked concern, but I could
