SALVADOR'S POVI woke up with a start and I felt someone's fingers running through my hair. I tried to get up to my feet but I was too weak.Turning around, I saw that it was Antonella, Alpha Demontes' evil daughter.What was she doing so close to me? Why was she running her hands through my hair? Had I forgiven her already? And did she know that I was Salvador?Many thoughts ran through my head as I struggled to recollect the memory of the events that had occurred.Slowly, I started remembering every single thing. We had come to Dennis' shop and after I had selected my clothes for the ball, I had instructed her to take it to the car. She had carried them to the car and I was still conversing with my friend when we heard the loud sound of the explosion.That was the last thing I could remember clearly. The rest of my memory was hazy and scattered, in bits and pieces. I could remember her staring into my eyes, breaking a door with an axe and dragging me out of the building.Yes! That w
ANTONELLA'S POVI had watched as the Alpha ranted on and on about how I poisoned him. To say the least, I was disappointed. I didn't think that after saving his life and staying beside him for a whole day, he would have the mind to accuse me of trying to kill him. If I wanted to kill him, I could have just left him in the building to burn. As his eyes closed slowly, I knew he was falling out of consciousness again. I waited until he was down on the floor before I went up to him.I nursed him back to life with the help of the herbs I had gotten from the forest and waited for him to recover again.All the while as I waited for him to come back to life, I considered my options again. I still had the chance to run away and leave him there but I was running out of time. I knew that as an Alpha, he was going to be well again with the right treatment before the end of the next day. If I wanted to do anything, I had to do it now.Running away was a good option but when I thought more about
SALVADOR'S POVDan helped me up to my feet and to the car they had come in. He put me in the back seat while he sat at the front with Martinez at the wheel."And Antonella?" I turned to him. "You want to leave her there all by herself?""I was waiting for your orders, Alpha," Dan grunted in response and turning to Antonella, he added. "Come on in."The brave and determined Antonella that I had seen over the past two days suddenly disappeared and was now replaced with the former version that I was already familiar with - the shy and scared girl that flinched at every touch and harsh word from me, my Beta and my chief guard. I felt a pange of guilt as she started towards the car. She didn't deserve to be treated that way. After all, she had saved my life."We don't have all day!" Martinez growled and blared the car horn at her.The sound of the car horn jolted her and she increased her pace at once. She entered the car and sat down beside me without a word and I nodded at Martinez. He
ANTONELLA'S POVAfter my little episode with Alpha Xavier, Dan and Martinez had driven us back to the pack.All the way, I couldn't say a word. I feared that they would be out for me, especially Martinez. I knew that they would be waiting for me to say the wrong thing, and then they would capitalize on it to kill me. I had tried my best to stay close to Alpha Xavier as possible out of fear of what they could do to me and when we had finally gotten to the pack, they dismissed me like a dog.I had left the car in tears after Martinez growled at me to leave their Alpha alone and get back to my slave duties. I thought that saving Xavier would make them trust me a little bit more but as I found out that day, I was wrong.It had been just a day after the incident occured and the two annoying maids I worked with in the kitchen would not stop talking about it."She really thought she could have the Alpha in her arms just because she fed him some meat and berries for two days," one of them who
ANTONELLA'S POVAs Griselda inched closer to me, my heart started pounding in my chest again. What if she had bad intentions? Griselda held me by the hand and led me away from the watchful eyes of the two kitchen maids. She stopped at the end of the hallway and pushed the door to a room open."Come on in," She said.I peeped inside the room first. It was dark and dusty, like an abandoned attic. Cobwebs hung from every corner of the ceiling, and the walls were dilapidated, with mould growing over them."Griselda," I muttered, as I stared at her. "Where is this place?""Come on, don't tell me you're scared," Griselda chuckled. "Come on in. I don't bite."I watched as she walked into the dark room and I waited for her to go a long distance before I took my first step in. Immediately I walked in, the door shut close and Griselda turned to glare at me."What did you do with the Alpha, the other day?" She asked.Her eyes turned a dangerous shade of yellow and it was then that I realized w
SALVADOR'S POV"Dan!"The sound of my voice made him stop dead in his tracks. He turned around and met my gaze."Don't you dare walk out on your Alpha!"Dan sighed and threw his arms in the air."Fine!" He growled. He walked back to the room and closed the door behind him."You really want to hear it from my mouth don't you? You want me to tell you that what you did was crazy, insane, not befitting an Alpha of this great pack - ""Mind your words, Dan," I warned. "Remember that you are still speaking with the Alpha of this pack."Dan calmed down a bit and he sighed."I'm sorry, Salvador," He said in a voice a little above a whisper. "But all I've said is the truth. Nothing but the truth. Why would you even think of doing something as rash as that?""I did it to test the girl!" I growled. "And you keep focusing on how I shouldn't have done it! Have you even bothered asking me the result of my test?"Dan calmed down a notch at the realization of what I had just said."Did it work?" He
ANTONELLA'S POVI didn't see the Alpha when he walked in. I couldn't tell if Hermes had seen him or not, but the next minute, his kiss landed on my lips. It was short and I made no move to disconnect from him - until our eyes met.I jolted, shocked by his presence and I drew away from Hermes at once. Hermes was all smiles by then. He had used me to get the Alpha jealous and I knew it quite well.Alpha Xavier marched up up us, fire burning in his eyes and Hermes' grin only widened."How dare you!" He roared as he approached us.He slapped Hermes hard across his cheek and Hermes staggered back a little. "Alpha Xavier!" I cried and pushed him away. "You'll hurt him."Hermes fell to the floor and I rushed to get him up."Are you okay?" I asked.Hermes was not responding. He lay still on the floor and I wondered if he was okay."Hermes?"Alpha Xavier was mad with anger as I ignored him and attended to Hermes. He had been expecting me to apologize for what I did, but that was definitely no
ANTONELLA'S POVAs soon as Hermes left, I turned around and headed back to the palace again. I had scores to settle with the Alpha and the earlier I settled them, the better for me. He had seen Hermes kiss me, and I didn't want him having the wrong impression about the relationship I had with Hermes.Hermes was nothing more than a friend to me, and our relationship was not platonic at all. I walked through the open doors of the hallway and I caught Griselda at a far corner. She was standing beside the door to a room and she growled in anger when she saw me.In less than a month of my stay there, I had successfully gathered more enemies than I had gathered friends all my life. I turned away from her and increased my pace until I got to the door of the Alpha's room. I pushed it open and walked in. I was not expecting to meet him there and when I saw him sitting on the bed, all the confidence I had managed to gather left me.What was I even doing? Why was I trying to offer him an expla
