Alpha Farrell’s Pov. I sat on the tree top, watching as walked in the woods, twirling like she was a princess. No actions of hers showed she belonged to royalty, but I felt even if she didn’t. She had alpha blood running through her veins.Her protruding stomach wouldn’t let her move with the grace of a youthful body, but she moved gracefully, at least. I held my breath as she bent down to pick a flower, waiting to swoop in and save her if she made one wrong step.“That’s her.” The voices sounded close by. She must have heard it too, as she stopped to look around.“Who’s there?” She asked as she stood her ground. I sat still, watching and waiting as two men stepped on the grassy plain. Evil intent was written on their faces.“Wouldn’t you do something?” Ora asked as we watched the scene. He sounded hungry for action, as my routine had been around Gabriella lately.“They sounded like they knew her. We can only watch and see how much we can glean from them,” I answered him. The men we
Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) I know someone carried me as I struggled in vain to break from the effect of the tranquilizer. It was okay I wasn’t dead, and I wanted to know who would send men after me. I forced my eyes open, but all I could see was static, feeling the thud of someone carry me away.“Is he going to know someone kidnapped me? What is he going to do if he finds out I’ve been kidnapped?” Those were the questions that ran through my mind with every step.I woke up gasping for air, feeling woozy from the tranq plus a slight headache from the light entering my eyes. My legs felt wobbly as I dropped them to the floor because I almost collapsed if I had not held onto something.“Who’s there?” I called out as I heard voices talking outside the door. I couldn’t tell where I was, blinded by both light and the haziness of the drug.“You should not be on your feet,” I heard a familiar voice as I almost fell once more.“Alpha Farrell.” I could almost feel a sob escaping my lips when I
Alpha Farrell’s Pov“Time to find out some truth,” I said as I walked out of Gabriella’s room. “What is the situation of things?”“They are in the dungeon,” Aiden said as he followed me, pushing the glass on his face back to his nose.“No information from any of them?” I asked as I strolled out of the house. I was going to walk to the dungeon instead of taking a car as I did with Gabriella when we first found her. The moon stood overhead us, slowly taking over from where the sun left.“They were shot with the tranquilizer they used on Gabriella and they should be awake at this moment as well.” He said as he followed me at my pace. I let out a groan as he should have told me this piece of information as well. I did not want to leave Gabriella alone or with his sister, but it did not matter at this moment as it was better to find some truth concerning her.“You should have told me it was speculation on your part,” I let out my thought. At least I was walking to the dungeon. It would t
Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) I woke up to the sound of knocking. Claire was no longer sitting where she was before I fell asleep.“I’m coming!” I screamed as I dragged myself from the bed. My body still felt heavy after the tranq, but I felt lighter after the night’s rest.“I didn’t think you would sleep till that moment.”A smile crossed my face when I heard his voice, with the smell of coffee wafting through the door.“Shouldn’t you be with some prisoners by this time?” I asked as I opened the door. As usual, he stood with his blue eyes glinting in the morning, holding two cups of coffee in his hands. “Prisoners? I never knew I had prisoners,” he said as he placed the coffee in my hands. “Want to go for a walk or you would prefer to be in your room?”“I prefer the room today and I will not ask for any work today,” I said as I walked to my couch, moaning as I sat in the chair. He chuckled as he followed, sitting on the adjacent seat. “You said something about not having prisoners.”“T
Alfredo’s Pov I stood from the bed, watching the sunrise in the morning, casting its glow across the land. “Come to the bar.” The text message read before I sent it to the recipient I wanted. Two weeks had gone by and I had no reply from him concerning his findings. Dex was grumpy, the same as I as I did nothing but pace the room when I was alone.“Still awake?”I turned to see Sheila staring at me with her head propped up by her elbow. She performed her duties as a future Luna, but it wasn’t what I wanted at the moment. A little information about Melissa would do my soul some good.“What are you thinking about?” She asked as she crawled across the length of the bed to where I stood.“It’s nothing,” I lied as I stretched my hand to the table, grabbing the bottle of wine placed last night.“It is not nothing if you would resort to drinking by this time of the morning,” she said as she climbed up to me.“I never knew drinking had a timetable,” I said as I turned, taking her into my a
Alpha Farrell’s Pov I stood by her side as she danced in the grass. A smile on her face as she twirled around. “Is it always cool in this place?” She asked as she stretched her hands to the incoming wind. It blew her hair across the place with the sound of her laughter carried along with it. “You don’t want to meet with the winter,” I said as I followed behind her like her bodyguard. My hands behind my back; I listened for any sudden movement. I had taken the last time they found her as both strokes of fortune and misfortune for both men.“There is a heating system. It can’t be that bad,” she said as she walked to a hedge of flowers, plucking a sunflower from its stem.“You are right,” I answered with a little chuckle. Technology had grown so fast in the past twenty years that I felt like an old man in those terms. I grew from traditional heating systems to just pressing a button and everywhere would be in the right temperature for you.“Do I look pretty?”She turned to show me the
Alfredo’s Pov “Tomorrow and you’d be off to your pack and we haven’t gone for the boys’ night’s out,'' Alpha Brian said as he got closer to me, wrapping his arms around my neck.“Didn’t think you would remember it,” I said as I took a deep breath. It was unexpected with the way he came on strong.“There’s no way I can forget something like that,” he said as he pulled me away.“Where are the both of you going at this time?” His wife came down the stairs like she was eavesdropping on us.“We are going out for a little men's stuff,” Alpha Brian said as he patted my shoulder, throwing a wide smile at his wife.“Thought you had something to do?”“I did, but you see. I had promised him we would have a few moments together during his stay with us,” he answered, like a child who was trying to get something. “Does your wife know about this meeting, Alfredo?”I didn’t know why I felt like that, but it felt like it was my mum talking to me like I was a kid who wanted to go outside and play.“S
Sheila’s POV I woke up with Alfredo sitting on the bed, facing the window like he thought of something.“Still thinking of your night out with my father?" I asked as I pulled up on him, wrapping my hands around his neck with my hands while I crossed him with my legs.He smelled of cologne, sharp and distinct, added to his underlying ashy smell. “Not exactly that,” he said, still facing the horizon. The rising sun was a beautiful sight to behold as it stretched its lazy rays across the sky, painting the deep blue sky with stretches of orange and pink.“What are you thinking of?”“Nothing exactly. You know that moment when you get up from bed and you just zone out?” He asked.I nodded as he turned around, placing a kiss on my lips, teasing me as he locked my hands high above my head while he placed me on the bed.“But I have something to think about right now?” He said as he looked at me with a mischievous smirk.“And what is that?”“It’s more like a question,” he said as he raised hi
