Caliana's POV"What are you talking about?" The Alpha's voice startled me and I jerked up, looking over my shoulders. "Nothing," I was quick to answer, but he didn't believe me. Did he hear our conversation?"I was telling Cali that I'm not sad about Mommy because I have her now," Love was more than happy to indulge her father and I shut my eyes. I forgot to tell her that our little conversation was a secret. Alpha Edward was fuming mad and if this was a cartoon, smoke would be coming out of his ears however, he kept his cool in front of his daughter."Lovely girl, that comic you like so much is on, go and watch," he said."But I'm eating and I haven't done my homework yet," Love said, eyeing his father and happy that she can watch TV."Just go," she stood up and I did too, ready to follow her but his gruff voice stopped me from going"Stay,"When Love got out of sight, I slowly turned to face the Alpha. "Why are you asking my daughter questions about her mother?" He growled at me."
Caliana's POVAs soon as I reached the manor, the Alpha approached me, eyeing me suspiciously, he was sniffing the air around and I realized late that I should have bathed before anyone saw me. His eyes glowed gold as he approached me and I unconsciously took a step back. He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him"Who were you with and why do I smell another man on you?" He growled and I swallowed, not knowing what to say. I couldn't tell him that I met with Alpha Henderson. If he forbids me from going back there? I won't get the answers. I struggled to get out of his arms but his grip is tight."Aubrey and I took some food at the new construction site and someone got injured so I helped out," I lied, looking him in the eyes. I've always been a terrible liar so I made sure to calm my breathing.He immediately let me go a little rougher than he intended, I stumbled and almost lost my balance but he caught me. He looked at me with apologetic eyes and removed the strain of hair that
Caliana's POV"Are you alright?" He asked, he was concerned. I nodded my response but he didn't believe me. He caressed my cheek in the most gentle ways and took me outside the house with him. He took me to the garden where his motorbike was. "I was going for a ride, join me," He said, handing me a black helmet. He had a nice motorbike that reminded me of the one Tristin had. I took the helmet. "Safety first, please wear it," I looked at him for a long time before I did as he asked and put it over my head. He did the same and he got on, I followed suit."I'll take you somewhere, so hold on tight okay," "Okay," My voice was hoarse, probably from the crying I did. I held onto him closely and inhaled his scene, he smelled so good. I lay my head on his back as he took off on the road. As we moved, all the sadness from earlier was disappearing and I lifted my head in the air but immediately regretted it as I felt drowsy. Alpha Edward took me to the pack's backroads, I'd never been here b
Caliana's POV"Well and good, I just don't see why I was dragged into your program of going to a restaurant," I said sharply, angry that I couldn't have a bite of my tasty salad. "You couldn't make my food, the least you can do is watch me eat, wife," He emphasized the word wife. "I don't know how to make what you wanted," "Hmm, you can't make anything!" I wanted to retort but he stopped the car and my gaze traveled around the area we were in. "The dockyards?" I murmured, opening the door. "There is a couple who make the best Garlic butter shrimp here," He told me and I frowned. The harbor was quiet at this time of the night. It felt peaceful and I wanted to run to the beach but stopped myself. "I didn't know they were adequate restaurants here," I frowned. "Expensive taste?" "Nope, I thought you did. You're the wealthy Alpha here,"He circled his arm around my waist as we went to a restaurant. It had a beautiful lantern path along the stairs and was situated in a place where w
Caliana's POVThe next day, I only saw the Alpha during dinner. I smiled to myself when I remembered last night. We were halfway through dinner when a servant announced that a captain from the border was here to see the Alpha and a tall intimidating man walked into the dining room. Love was taken away by the servants before the captain spoke."Sir, there was a fight at the border with the Black Stone Pack," he reported."Situation?""Two of our warriors are badly injured and currently receiving treatment and three of theirs are dead, the others ran away,""Who started the fight?" Asked the Alpha, furious."It was the Black Stone Pack, they trespassed and while chasing them, more of them came out of nowhere and attacked our patrol men, we had to call reinforcement as they were outnumbering us,""Damn fucking Henderson, he never learns!" Roared my mate."Henderson?" I stuttered, my eyes bulging. Is it the Henderson I know? The Alpha who follows me around? No one seemed to hear me thank
Caliana's POVThe next day I woke up earlier than usual because I needed to get some things done. I went to the new construction site for the elderly homes to inspect the project, and they were coming up well. One mansion was done already so we needed to start decorating it for occupation as the elderly members were complaining that it took a long time. Merabi, Steven, and I went to check out the decoration and pick out furniture. "These old people can be demanding, can you believe I was sent the colors for types of furniture, and apparently, the pool is small," He said. The "Golden Stone Pack did know how to treat the elderly well. "Those people built this pack, they are soldiers who fought to be where we are... If they want a pool the size of a house, they'll have it," Merabi said. "I'm just saying they are quite demanding," He sighed. Merabi and Steven have a relationship of mouse and cat, but they manage to work well together. We left the stores and went to the food court, we w
Caliana's POV"And what is it you want to know," He gritted, his fist clenched and his body shaking. "Everything," "Why?" "Because that's when I'll fully feel like a member of this community, your Luna," I said. Not knowing anything and him holding on to his former mate hurts me badly, and the fact that people are secretly comparing me to her is doing no good to my mind's health. I'm curious by nature! Alpha Edward chuckled darkly, repeating the words 'your Luna'. "My Luna, you're not mine, you are the Luna, Caliana Meyers," "But I don't want that, Alpha Edward!" I interjected. I hopped out of bed and held his wrist. "I want to be YOUR Luna first," I said on the verge of tears, he was stunned that I'd say that considering our relationship, I just confessed that I wanted more. His eyes gave nothing away as he looked intently at me. "I want to be by your side, to hold your hand but It will only happen when you finally let her go for good," He snatched his hand away and ran his fi
Caliana's POV"Repeat what you said," I asked. "Love Jane Chasia is my niece, she is my late sister's daughter; Jane Anne Henderson," He said and everything in my mind went into a frenzy. Jane Anne is Henderson's sister? How did she find herself in the Chasia home? As I can recall, their bad blood started ten years ago when Alpha Edward killed the former Alpha of the Black Stone Pack during a battle, the man challenged my mate and he lost. "I didn't know," "She doesn't know either. The last time I was close to her was three years ago, my mother kidnapped her and the last time I set my eyes on her was when she was on a school trip to a nearby waterfall, she didn't recognize me," He said, I sensed hurt in his tone. "Why don't you visit her, is it because you and the Chasias are enemies?" "Caliana, do you know how Jane Anne died?" He asked and I shook my head negatively. "The douchebag Alpha watched as rogues tore my sister apart after learning about her identity," He growled, his h
