Chapter 28Alexa's POV“Luna, you've not left your room for three days now, don't you feel suffocated?” Kira asks worriedly.I turned my back to her and pulled the blanket that was covering my body all the way to my head.“Luna, at least eat something, if you continue like this, you are going to fall sick,” she says worriedly, moving over to the other side of the bed where I am facing.I turned my back and ignored her again. I am not in the mood to talk to anyone, not when today is the day the Alpha is getting a mistress. I had cried for the past three days and I no longer have any tears left. I didn't have the appetite to eat anything or the strength to go anywhere. I just want to lay down in bed all day and cry thinking about my miserable life.“Luna, the ball is in twenty minutes, you have to get ready now else we will be late, the Alpha hates lateness, people that don't stick to time,” she said nervously. The poor girl was having a hard time dealing with my rebellious behavior but
Chapter 29Alexa's POVU…uncle Gaius.Why the hell is he here? Did he find me? Cold sweat broke out all over my body just with that thought. “Alpha Gaius, you made it,” the Alpha says as he turned around to face him.“A…alpha Gaius?” I mutter, pure dread coursing through my veins. So, he is the Alpha of the Grey wood pack now. After framing me and making my brother hate me. He cunningly neglected my brother and made himself the Alpha. I should have known that was his plan all along. He got rid of me because he knew with me around it will be very hard, almost impossible for him to become Alpha. I feel myself seething with anger. I want to turn around and slap him hard right across his face. But I can't do that now, I can't let him see me like this, not when I don't have enough power to defend myself. Not when I'm still labeled as a traitor to the Grey Wood pack, and they all want my head. If I make any slight mistake, and he notices me, he might lie to the Alpha that I'm a traitor wh
Chapter 30Ace's POV“What?” I stared at Alexa surprised, wondering if I really heard her right.“I said teach me the art of swordsmanship,” she repeats confidently.“Why do you want to learn how to fight all of a sudden?” I asked, staring at her skeptically and trying to figure out what was going on.“Are you going to teach me or not?” She replies impatiently.“Not until you tell me where this is coming from?” I answer.She looks towards the stage, where Kai and his new wife were standing.“I'm tired of being weak and useless, even if I can't shift, I want to learn something new,” she replies, staring at me with determination.“So are you going to teach me or not?” She asks again.“Are you sure about this? It's not as easy and simple as it looks. If you are doing this because of someone else, then you should stop. It requires a lot of strength, focuses….,”“I know all that, and I'm doing this for myself, not for anyone else,” she says, cutting me off.“Don't be like that Ace, agree a
Chapter 31Alpha Kai's POVIt's finally done. My long-lost dream has finally come through. I beam happily at Amelie.Amelie.The result of my careful selection. Not only is she beautiful, she's also strong, brave, and brilliant. I heard from her father that she helped out with their war strategies and was also a powerful she-wolf in charge of her packs' security. To top it all, she's beautiful and polite. A complete package. My kind of woman. This is the happiest birthday of my entire life. I feel fulfilled. I can now have children that will take on the Xander name and lead the pack to greater heights. I felt so excited and extremely proud to have her by my side that I introduced her to everyone in a grand way. She deserves it. My eyes locked with Alexa's. She looks hurt and disappointed, but I don't care. It isn't my fault that she's weak or wolfless.The ball came to an end and everyone left to go back to their various packs.“Alpha Kai,” I heard Alpha Gaius of the Grey wood pack
Chapter 32Alexa's POV“Swordsmanship isn't all about just swinging your sword around, there are skills and….,”I yawn cutting Ace off.“There are skills and techniques for…,”I yawn again.“You have to know your…,”I yawn for the third time. “Did you wake me up this early just to lure me back to sleep,” I ask, giving him a disapproving stare?“You have to know the basics first,” he insists.“If I want to know that, I can look it up in the library,” I insist.“Fine,” he grumbles.“Now, let's get to the exciting part,” I said, staring at the sword in his hand.“This?” he asks, pointing to his sword. I nod my head vigorously.“Not so fast, first you will have to unsheathe it,” he says, smirking at me.“Why are you making it sound as if it's hard? Give it here,” I say, stretching my hand for him to hand it over. But he tossed it over to me, and it landed on my feet.“What are you staring at? Pick it up,” he orders.I sighed and bent down to pick the sword up. “Why didn't you just hand…,”
Chapter 33Alexa's POVMy eyes dart across the hallway, wondering if she was indeed talking to me. She stares at me icily.“Me?” I ask, pointing towards myself. Why will she want to talk to me when we don't even know each other?“Is there anyone else here?” she snaps.I am taken aback by how she speaks. She had been so polite and calm at the ball that I was even beginning to feel bad that I was rude to her.“You look plain, completely normal. I thought the Alpha's mate would be extraordinary, turns out I was wrong,” she sneers, circling me as she spoke. I'm completely speechless by her attitude. I just stared at her in disbelief, unable to say anything.“When are you going to give up your position and leave? After all, you are not wanted here,” she says icily.“Excuse me,” I mutter, still not able to wrap my head around what is going on and why she's picking on me.“You heard me or coupled with being useless, are you also deaf too, isn't that why the Alpha married me? Because you are
Chapter 34Alpha Kai's POVI was heading outside with some guests when I heard voices. I could clearly hear Alexa's voice angrily calling someone a mistress. I walk towards where the voices are coming from and stop where I know they could not see me. Amelie was crying and begging Alexa, while Alexa coldly pushed her onto the floor. I feel myself getting enraged at the sight.“What is going on here?” I growl startling Alexa who looks at me with wide eyes. She thought she could bully Amelie and I wouldn't know about it.Amelie gets up from the floor and dusts her body, still crying.“I said, what the hell is going on here!” I yell.“Amelie, why were you on the floor, did someone push you?” I ask even though I noticed when Alexa pushed her off guard.“I was talking to Alexa, but I suddenly lost my footing and fell. Alexa didn't push me,” she says, still trying to control her sobs.“Then why are you crying?” I ask in concern.“Maybe I shouldn't have married you Alpha, Alexa won't forgive
Chapter 35Ace's POVI sit on my swiveling chair. My face was frosty, my countenance radiating a murderous aura. The men at my feet, shivering and silent. No one dares to speak up. I suddenly stop swiveling and their breath hitches. I can hear every single breath they take and the pounding of their hearts. I turn and face my study desk. My claws tapped the table, every tap caused them to tremble in fear.“So… What you are saying is that the intruders I caught, and brought to the pack suddenly vanished into thin air,” I stared at them as I interrogated them.“Yes beta,” they respond, their voices trembling.“How?” I ask, my claws dragging along the table making a screeching noise.One of the men daps his brows with his shirt and gulps, “We were about to put them in the dungeon. We didn't know that they managed to slip out of their silver chains, and they attacked us unexpectedly and ran away,” he explains nervously.“Mmmmm, are you fools that useless” I mutter calmly, resting my head o
