Lillian's Point Of view
I was in my room, packing my clothes into a travel box when I heard a knock on the door, it was Jameson.“May I come in?”“Sure.” I smiled and sat on the edge of the bed.He walked further into the room and sat on the bed as well, the bag was in between us.“Do you really have to do this, Cupcake?”He stretched out for my hands and I held it out.“I have to, dad. I have to stop him, or he would make another family his victim.”“You don't know what you're getting yourself into. He's more dangerous than you think, baby.”“I know, dad.” My voice lacked the emotions I needed. “I know that, but I can't afford to see another family go through what we went through, it was horrible and hard for us.”“I want you to promise me something.”“Anything for you, dIsabella's point of viewWe all went down at the sound of the gunshots.“What happened? How come they knew we were coming?”“I have no idea. That bastard! He must have seen me before telling alpha Sarah about Sandro. It was a trap and I fell for it.”Multiple gunshots followed and we heard footsteps approaching us.“We need to hide.” I said in a hushed tone as I pointed toward a table.“We could hide behind it.” Marcus responded.We crawled toward the table and hid behind it. The footsteps suddenly stopped, but I could pick his scent in the room.“You should come out now, I can pick your scent.” He growled.We kept mute while thinking of a way to escape this trap.“What do we do now?” I asked Lillian.“I don't know, but I'm sure he is no match for me.”
Lillian's Point Of View. I slowly regained consciousness as two men dragged me to a room, but I was still weak and needed to find the perfect time to strike. But whatever was in that shot he gave me, it was forceful, and I could still feel it in my blood. Slowly, a grunt escaped my lips, and their eyes looked down at me to see what was wrong. “Are you okay?” One asked, but I kept my head buried in the floor. Due to my unresponsiveness, they continued and dragged me to a small, messy room. The stench from the room was so horrible, and I couldn't stand it for a minute. At this point, I knew I had to fight for my freedom. They were about to leg go of my arms when I swiftly jumped to my feet, they also took a defensive stance immediately. “Is this how you want it? Being treated like an animal because of your stubbornness?” He growled. A faint picture of how they would have treated Beth flashed pass my eyes, and this infuriated me more. Before the other guard could say a word, I sp
Isabella's Point Of ViewThe clouds were growing thicker with each passing seconds, so was the worry in my heart; Lillian was yet to be back.“Don't you think we should go look for her?” I turned to ask Marcus, who was standing above my shoulder.“I am not convinced that would be a good idea, she wouldn't like that as well. She's a strong lady, I'm confident she would be back soon. Let's just give it a little time.” He gave me a soft reassuring squeeze on my shoulder. “And if she doesn't come back? Are we just going to sit here and do nothing?”He took my hands in his and looked at me straight in the eyes.“I'm sure she's fine. Maybe she had some important business to do and she had to attend to it. She'll be here soon, I know that.”“I hope so.” I grumbled and went into the room.Hours went by and there was still no trace of Lillian. I had just woken up from a nap and my eyes fell on the clock: it was some minutes past 8pm, and I dashed to the living room where Marcus was seated wat
Alpha Sarah's Point Of ViewThe next noon, Alex and I had planned to have a small picnic in the woods. I got out of bed early in the morning, and walked to my closest, looking for what nice dress to wear. None of the clothes got my interest and I laid down flat on the bed with a huff.“What on earth would I wear?” I mumbled and tossed to the other side of the bed. The door creaked open and Mrs. Sophie was standing beside it, her hand gripped on the knob. “Is anything the matter? You seem a bit out of it.”I grunted as I sat up and patted the bed, “Yes, Mrs. Sophie. Please, come in.” She stepped into the room, shut the door and walked closer to me but didn't sit. “What's the matter, Alpha Sarah?”“It's this Pack......” I noticed her eyelids; they fluttered. “Yeah, what's it about this Pack?” I smacked my lips gently and looked into her eyes for some seconds without saying anything, making her feel very uncomfortable. “Alpha Sarah? Is something wrong? You don't look quite like th
Isabella's Point Of ViewMarcus thought it was best if we stayed somewhere else, so he took me to a friend's house. Her name was Jules and she was everything.She walked into the living room with a tray and two glasses of chilled water. “Thanks.” I mumbled as I took the glass from her, but couldn't fail to notice the way they looked at each other.She dropped the tray on a table beside me and sat opposite us. “So, what brought you here, Marcus?”“I need your help.” He said, and she rolled her eyes seductively.“Sure, you always need my help.”“Please, this is very important to me.”“Okay, what's it about?”“We need to stay low for a while, and I have nowhere to go. I was hoping you could help.”“Do I have a choice?” She smiled. “You're free to stay, anytime.”Her gaze fell on me and back to Marcus, and she raised one of her brows.“Oh! Pardon my manners, Jules. This is Isabella, my girlfriend. Isabella, meet my friend, Jules.”“Hi.” I waved.The happy look on her face sank instantly
Sandro's Point Of View I dragged Beth back to the house, but something was strange about her, I couldn't pick her scent. “You let her go again, and you lose your lives.” I said to the guards as I dumped her in front of them. They nodded and took her to the room. I proceeded to my room, my head almost exploding with questions. “How on earth does she not have a scent anymore?”“Why would Alex be so careless to let her roam about? I guess he doesn't need her anymore.”I sat on the couch, my hand curled under my jaw as I had plenty of questions running through my mind. The door creaked open, and my eyes fell on it – it was Elena. She walked further into the room and sat beside me. “Is anything wrong? You don't look quite well.” She said with her voice clouded with worry as she turned to me. I turned to her, “Then you should know that all is not well.” I snapped, my eyes widened a bit. “You know, you don't have to be rude to me. I was only trying to care.”She shrugged. “I don't
Jameson's Point Of View. We drove into the Pack in my car. It was late at night and everywhere was quiet. I pulled the car to a halt, and we sat in the car for a second before I broke the silence. “Is there anywhere we can pass the night? We'll find her in the morning.”“Sure. My house is just a few blocks away, I'm sure my grandma would mind having you around.”I nodded my head, ignited the car and drove further according to her directions. We stopped in front of an old house, the lights were out and it felt awkwardly silent. We got out of the car, and she made to walk into the house. “Don't you think it's strange?” She turned back to me. “Or has your house been like this always? This quiet and dark?”She turned back to the house and stared for a few seconds and walked back to where I was, leaned on the car. “What do you think, Jameson? It really does feel strange. Mrs. Elise never sleeps with the light off.”“Then, let's go find out. You just have to be careful.” I turned to her
Alex's Point Of View.I had woken up early in the morning, before Sarah got up and drove to Sandro's hideout. I packed the car a few miles away from his hideout and walked to the front of his place.About six guards were guarding the front door.“I'm here to see Sandro.”“He's not up yet. I'm afraid you will have to wait a while for him, or you come back.” One of the guards responded, his eyes narrowed with a smirk.“He asked me to be here early, besides, this isn't my first time coming here. Why won't you let me in?”“Do as you were told, young man. You have to wait for him.” Another said.A deep sigh escaped my lips and I walked back to the car and sat in it for a while. My mind drifted off to Sarah; how she was holding up and how she would feel about all of this – me using my mate to ascend the throne.A knock on the window cut through my thoughts, it was one of the guards, and I winded down the window.“You can come in now.” He said and turned away like someone who was being contro
