Alpha Vincent’s POV“Bullsh*t!” I burst into anger as I grab the vase on the table and throw it on the wall in full force; just to vent out this frustrating feeling.To be honest, I didn’t know what to feel. I knew very well what I did in the hallway. I knew very well what I was trying to do while talking to Kate. I knew very well why I acted that way. But, I kept on denying it.“I should not feel it. I don’t want to feel anything for her. Not Williams, never…” I whispered as I glared at the air. My inner wolf, Jacob, howled inside my head. It seemed he didn’t like the idea of suppressing this growing care for the slave, no other than Astrid.‘Just admit it then we don’t have a problem,’ Jacob said in a cool tone through the mind link.I sighed exaggeratedly and ran my fingers through my brown wavy hair.‘It seems you forgot, not her. SHE.IS.WILLIAMS!’ I responded through the mind link as I emphasized the surname of Astrid. I approached my office table. I sat on my office chair and re
Alpha Vincent’s POVI've been waiting for Beta Ivan to arrive. When I was already done signing all the papers, that was the time that the door opened, and it showed Ivan standing in front of me."Alpha Vincent," he greeted and bowed his head out of courtesy.I just nodded my head and stood up."I want you to come back as soon as possible because I wanted to talk about Astrid," I started and took a deep breath.He seemed to get interested after I said the slave's name. I saw his eyes lighten up. My right eyebrow rose as I looked at him intently.Don't tell me he is... No! No! There was no way he would like that slave. I know Astrid was out of his league. She was nothing and nobody. She was a mere servant."What about her, Alpha?" he asked and walked closer in my direction."Kate created a commotion earlier. She bullied Astrid in the hallway.""W-What?" he asked in disbelief and seemed concerned and worried at the same time.I just shook my head and disregarded the emotion that I saw on
I screamed "Shit!" as the rogue hung over me. I stumbled to the ground and snarled in agony as I tightly closed my eyes. When there were no traces of my inner wolf, I swore, "Fuck, Jacob!" Hoping he would hear me coz I was in a fucking tight situation.I became enraged when the large brown werewolf stepped his paw on my chest.I growled at him and let my teeth protrude.How dare he step on me?!At this precise moment, I was aware of the ferocious gleam in my golden eyes. The rogue didn't back down, though, despite my threats. He simply yelled in my face, demonstrating his bravery and dominance in the battle.I instantly grabbed his mouth and quickly gripped his neck with my hips when he was about to bite my neck. I split his top and lower jaw with all my might, cutting him in two.One of the werewolves, the white one, howled in pain at what I did. It appeared that the werewolf I murdered was a close friend of his. I could tell it when I looked into his eyes. In a rage, he was moving i
Astrid's/Veronica's POVI felt worried, and I felt like I was going nuts as I looked at Vincent's face. His golden eyes were closed, and he was sleeping deeply. He was still unconscious. When I looked at his neck, I couldn't help but bite my lower lip, and my eyes started glistening with tears.His neck had wounds, and he was having a hard-time to heal. The doctor pack said it seemed Vincent and his inner wolf were having trouble communicating with each other, and it affects Vincent's ability as well as the healing of his wounds himself.I slowly put my right hand above his right hand and gently squeezed it. I stared at him lovingly. For the past weeks that I've been with him, I knew I would never receive kind treatment from him. He was always rough and hot-headed towards me all the time. But, what about paying Peter back for what he did to me? And also defending me from the daughter of the council, from Miss Kate Meyer?Even if I wanted to erase the thought that he cared for me, I co
Astrid/ Veronica's POVI ran as fast as I could. As I opened the door, the face of Beta Ivan was the first thing I saw. His serious face quickly shifted to a worried one as he looked at me intently."What happened?" he asked in a worried voice.I sobbed as I stared at his ocean blue eyes. I really didn't know why he was so kind toward me. It made me confused sometimes. These mixed signals choke me sometimes.I didn't want to assume, but his actions were quite weird and suspicious.I wiped away my tears, but still, I failed to stop myself from crying.He was about to approach me but stopped when we heard the voice of Alpha Vincent inside his chamber."Beta Ivan..." he called.I didn't want the Alpha to see me in this kind of state. I didn't want him to see me as pitiful. I was genuinely glad that he was already fine. But seeing him with another woman literally broke my heart.Without further ado, I ran away. Beta Ivan attempted to follow me, but he stopped himself when the Alpha calle
Vincent’s POV“Beta Ivan, kindly schedule me an appointment with one of our pack doctors,” I said seriously as I signed the papers. I could feel him taking a step forward in my direction, and I heard his heavy breathing. With that, I took my eyes off the papers and looked at him.“What is it?” I asked and raised a right eyebrow. I saw the concern drawn on his face.“What is happening, Alpha? Why do you want an appointment with our pack doctor?” he asked, and I could see he was concerned about my situation.I looked at him intently as I rested my back on my chair. There was an idea running inside my head. I wanted to shrug it off, but I couldn’t help thinking about it. I put my right hand under my chin as I examined him.“Ivan…” I called and breathed deeply.“Yes, Alpha Vincent?” he responded right away as if he was eager to know what was happening to me. He even moved closer in my direction.I looked at him from head to toe before getting back to his face. His face showed confusion du
Vincent’s POVRight away, Beta Ivan set an appointment with our pack doctor for me. And now, we were here in the pack doctor’s office. I was sitting on the chair facing the pack doctor. He put his hands on the table and intertwined them.“What makes you here, Alpha Vincent? Do you feel anything wrong after your wounds healed?” he asked and looked at me intently.I heaved a sigh and massaged my temple. Thinking about what was happening to me between my inner wolf made me feel stressed.“Yeah… I just noticed that I can’t communicate with Jacob, and I don’t know why. Also, when my Beta and I were wandering inside the forest, rogues attacked us. That time, I was struggling to shift because Jacob was missing,” I said and ran my fingers through my hair.The doctor became silent after hearing my explanation. He stared at me first before he stood up. He walked away and headed to his mini library inside his office and searched for a book that no one knew what it was. He ran his fingers in ever
“B-But Alpha…”I was surprised to see Beta Ivan was the one who reacted to my plan instead of Gamma Steven.I looked at him intently and waited for what he wanted to say.“We know that…some of the families of our Blackwood Pack people are rogues and living in the forest. Those rogues were one of the Blackwood Pack before that had you kicked out due to the crimes and didn’t follow your command,” Beta Ivan explained and cleared his throat.At what I heard, I sighed.Of course, I knew about that because I was the one who did it. I was the one who kicked them out of my pack because of disobeying me. Then, they chose to live in the nearby forest with other rogues. Unfortunately, that forest was the place where I was attacked so sorry, not sorry.“So?” I asked in an uninterested tone.He took a deep breath as he looked at Gamma Steven; as if he was expecting a reaction from the latter, but Steven didn’t react to what he said. When he saw there was no hope from Steven, he gazed back in my di
