SONIA'S POV"Damn it! What a temper he has! Always acting so annoying. I wonder how his future mate would deal with him.. phew!" I moaned the moment I got to my room in the palace. I was panting heavily and was pretty exhausted. I knew I could fall any moment from then if I don't get water to drink, but then again, the strength to her the water to drink was something I lacked. My eyes dilated around the room and alas, a bottle of water sat just by the reading table. I remembered placing it there the previous night and drinking only a little from it. "But if he doesn't want to be seen by people, why then did he come to the pack? I heard he was even seen by some people in the pack today…" I said aloud as soon as I had gulped down the Contents of the bottle like one who had not taken water in almost a decade.The door flung open, taking me off guard. I felt my heart jump into my hand at that moment and wanted to hurl insults at the person who had the temerity to act so indolently, but t
HARDIN'S POVAs I laid on my bed in my room, my mind raced through the conversation that took place between me and kahlan in the prison and my heart wept. I felt so hurt and began to wonder what else that is there to do to make use accept me that I haven't done but I couldn't think of any. After pondering on it for a few minutes, I got fed up and began to develop a strand headache that threatened to blow my head apart. "You've got to calm yourself down, Hardin!" I said to myself as I knew the repercussions of allowing the headache to eat deeper into me. I quickly drank some water from the bottle that had been placed beside me and then picked up a novel that was sitting pretty on my bedside table. I had started reading the book a few days back but I hadn't gotten the chance to read it more than the second page. The book has appealed so much to me most especially because it was a romantic one. The feeling of romance appealed to me so much that if only Khalan would allow me to prove my
Nyall's POVHeading from the training ground where I had been all day, supervising the thousands that were training. I wanted to do nothing more than get home, eat and then sleep as I hadn't gotten to do the latter in Almost Forty-eight hours. I was heading to the other side of the pack where my chambers were when I remembered that I still had a document that required the Alpha's signature. I sighed I'm frustration and then began the slow and torturous journey back to the other side where Alpha Eric's chambers was. As I got to the door of his chambers, I began to hear strange yells from there, taking me off guard. I could think of only one thing - Hardin."Oh my goodness! Hardin had come to finish him off." I turned the doorknob but it didn't give way. "This is shit!" I took a few steps backwards and then gave it a kick that sent it open at once. I raced in like my life depended on it, panting heavily. The alpha laid on the bed, rolling restlessly."Alpha Eric! Alpha Eric!" I called o
KHALAN'S POVI jerked awake suddenly, panting hard like I had just completed a marathon. My pulse had shot up beyond normal level that I began to wonder if I was going to die or live. "The son of a bitch! Killing my beloved parents isn't just enough for him. He wants to kill me as well and he doesn't even have the courage to come do it physically. But something was strong and I just couldn't place my hand on it even though I tried to. Why would Eric who hadn't killed me even after the numerous attacks I had made against his life now decide to come kill me in the dream. It was all bizarre."So are you by chance thinking someone else is behind this?" A voice asked in my head as I laid on the bare floor of the dungeon, the cold and all hitting me right in my body with no form of protection against it."What do I know… " Tears gathered in my eyes and strangely, I began to long for Alpha Eric. I wanted to hear his sweet and reassuring voice that always had a way of getting to me when I w
ERIC'S POV I could hear the loud sounds emanating from around me and my heart began to race against my chest like there was someone pounding against it… I felt a hand on my neck and then a force exerted itself against me. I tried to breathe but I couldn't. I began to struggle with him but It proved abortive. "What was going on with me? What's happening?" I asked myself as my life was slowly seeping out of me. I could no longer feel myself and death appeared in front of me. I heard a sudden shout that jolted me a bit. I felt relieved with no force of me. Someone had heard my cry and came to help me out. I was glad. I struggled to get up from the bed but I couldn't. I felt weak within me and unable to do a single thing."Oh!" I heard a loud sound and then a thud accompanying it. Perhaps, the fall had triggered my speedy recovery because, only the moon goddess could explain where I got my strength rein at that moment. I rose to my feet with a sharp movement but to my utmost surprise,
KHALAN'S POV The moment my eyes fell on Eric who laid on the bed in his room, I felt a pang of guilt wash over me at that moment. I had never felt as guilty as I felt at that moment. I clenched my hand into a fist, Hating him and everyone else who had made me feel that way. The last thing I had ever wanted was to feel that way. "Why did you bring me here! To make me feel bad and see how Badly you are hurting because of my actions? Well, that serves you and isn't even enough for the pain and misery you have caused me," I blurted out with hate and spite choking my Voice. It was all bizzare before me and made no sense in the least. "Khalan! You came. Thank you," I heard him say in a low whispering voice with a smile that did nothing but irritate me. I rolled my eyes in disdain and then allowed a loud hiss trail from my lips. "How dare you hiss in front of the alpha! You should show some respect!" His beta, Nyall snapped at me in a loud voice that sent shivers down my spine for a spli
ERIC'S POV I should have expected such violence from here the moment I brought into mention our unborn child but somehow, I didn't. I was taken aback by her sudden yell and it made my heart skip a bit. I glared at me, trying to speak. I was trying to clear the air between us but because I got the chance to utter a word, she had grabbed a bottle of beer that was lying recklessly on the floor and was holding it over her head. I began to shiver, knowing exactly what she could use it to do. "What are you doing with that bottle? Don't tell me it is what I think it is?" I asked even though I already knew what she was going to do with it. I began to fiddle on the bed where I laid with my eyes flickering around. "What does it appear like I wanna do with it? You must be dumb if you don't know what I'm about to do with it!" She snapped and flung the bottle right at me. It missed my head just by an inch, landing on the wall that was beside me. "What was that for?" I queried with bloodshot ey
SONIA'S POV I had just finished with the laundry of the kings clothes when I heard the news from some of the Omegas who were busy around me but somehow, I did get what they were talking about in full. I turned my head with my hands clasped together and then rose to my feet, sauntering towards them as swiftly as I could.*What is it you are talking about?' I asked in a thick baritone voice with my full glare on them. They shuddered at once the moment they laid their eyes on me. I bet they would be wondering what it is I wanted from them and I wasn't going to do any less. I planned on keeping them scared out of their wit for the entire period that I would speak to them. The sight of them shivering, alone gave a kind of happiness that I had never felt in a while."We aren't saying anything ma'am. We aren't," one of them said Almost immediately and I needed no one to tell me she wanted me to keep shut. I scoffed, moved closer to her and then pulled her by the air. She shrieked in pain a
