Alpha Zach's POVAs soon as I arrived at the office I parked my car silently towards the door and I got down, shutting the door behind me.I walked swiftly towards the last floor where I asked my men to keep Cedric and then await my orders.I walked into the room and Cedric was tied to the chair but his blindfold was off just like I instructed.His face turned into a frown the moment he saw me and he gritted his teeth in anger. Seeing him in such a condition made me happy.Did he think he was going to hurt me and get away with it? Was I going to let him off the hook?Mark, my chief investigator, who was the one in charge of this assignment walked over to me.“Good job, thank you for bringing this bastard to me,” I said with a smirk plastered at the corner of my lips.“That's not a problem sir, he thought he could outsmart us as he was trying to escape but we caught him without any hesitation. Whoever he was calling, he was trying to seek help.” Mark explained.Seeing Cedric helpless w
Alpha Zac POV “Flashback” He gave me a signal and I knew immediately he wanted Olivia to leave. I walked over and whispered into her ear. “Can you give us some time to talk?” She nodded in affirmation and walked out of the room giving us space for a conversation. He stared at me with an uncertain look I couldn’t quite figure and sat down. He stared at the table and then back at me. “Didn’t the maids offer you anything!” He asked about calling them and probably punishing them. “No, they did but she said she was okay,” I replied immediately with a very calm tone. “And you too?” He said arching his eyebrows at me. “I’m fine too,” I replied, clearing my throat. I didn’t know what he meant but I knew he was driving at something. “I don’t know why you’ll claim you’re seeking an alliance and yet you’re not comfortable with taking anything from me, how do I trust you then?” He said in a very calm tone. I didn’t know if he was serious or if it was a joke. I didn’t know why Olivia di
Alpha Zac’s POV“I’m sorry,” Cedric muttered, spitting out a mouth full of blood from his mouth. I smiled seeing him in pain because this was exactly what he deserved. He didn’t deserve any form of thought, he was an animal and should be treated like one.“Oh no, you’re not! After all, I've done for you Cedric! I took as my own, my brother, and not only did you stab me in the back eventually, you wanted to hurt what was mine, you had the guts to send Fisher to abduct her!!” I roared out angrily, still holding him tight by the collar without a single pity evident in my tone.Although I wasn’t happy about the fact that he switched sides and most importantly he switched up on me, I care less because it was his life after all and he could do what he wanted with it.If he felt that he didn’t want to be by my side as my Beta anymore then I had no right to hold him for it. Even if he knew a great deal about things that I shouldn’t even let him see, I still didn’t act on that.I didn’t know w
Alpha Zach’s POV“I don’t deserve this and the only reason why your bitter heart will think anyone deserves this is because you’re ungrateful. We were so close but you switching up so fast means you were never a friend, just an enemy all along!”“You cared about only yourself, I served you like a slave and you come here saying you took me as a brother? I dare not question any of your orders without fearing my life, and that seems fair to you?”“That’s how life is, we can’t all rule and one person is going to have to hide the others. I bet someone like you will never relate to that because all you can do is criticize the power that you’ve never wielded and you never will.”“You see! You’re so full of yourself! Your position has made you feel so big that you feel that no one can be equal to you!”“Of course, no one can! I’m the Alpha and apart from being your friend, I was also your king! Of course, I’ll demand the respect that I shook accorded even from close family or friends, that’s
Alpha Zach POVIt was already long and I still haven’t seen Hailey. There was no sign of her anywhere.I was thinking she would show up for dinner at least but there was still no sign of her. I was very worried about her because I didn’t know where she was.I regretted my decision and I should have just gone to look at her this morning, I shouldn’t have guessed she would be okay.I was also annoyed because she was getting so angry for no reason that I just ignored it.I should have asked the guards to look for her because she might be with her mom but if she was, her mom wouldn’t let her stay for that long without coming home.I knew she was angry at me but I was thinking she would be gone just for a few hours and then come back. Till now I knew nothing of her whereabouts.I had this feeling that she was just somewhere and in danger. I was already panicking and started regretting ever yelling at her.I wish we didn’t even have that argument at all because at least I would be at peace
Haileys POVHow was this happening? How did it happen? A part of me didn’t want to believe what happened but at the same time, it didn’t seem like a joke.I didn’t want to believe it, no it wasn’t true but the emotions in his eyes told me otherwise: he looked so serious and he was gripped by fear and guilt. It can’t be, it just can’t be.I paced around not knowing what exactly to do about this information. It gripped me that this was reality and I wasn’t fat dreaming.I walked from one place to another just to calm my nerves but it didn’t seem to change anything. My heart kept on pacing and pounding as I feared what the aftermath might be. Cold sweat dropped off my forehead and I didn’t even bother wiping it off. Tears gathered up at the corner of my eyes and I didn’t bother wiping them off. It was okay to cry.I started running, I didn’t know exactly where I was running to but I ran through the corridors. I needed to be safe, a safe space. Everywhere where I didn't feel like it was
HAILEY’S POVMy head was spinning as I struggled to open my eyes, the pain behind my eyelids making it hard to focus. When my vision finally cleared, I realized I was not alone. Lying next to me in bed was none other than Alpha Zac, one of the Alphas my father had invited to his birthday celebration the previous day. My heart started pounding, and my breath came in short, shallow gasps.I scrambled to sit up, my hands clutching the sheets to my chest. "What is this?" I asked, my voice and eyes shaking. “What happened?" I whispered loudly, my voice still shaking.There was no response. Alpha Zac was still asleep, his chest rising and falling with each breath. I tried to remember what had happened the night before, but it was all a blur. The only memory I could recall was gulping down a glass of wine I was served and the rest was blank.“What have I done? Gosh!” I had to get out of this room before he woke up, I needed to think hard to remember how I ended up in bed with him. I swung
Hailey’s POV"No, Father," I pleaded, my voice shaking. "You have to believe me. I didn't do this. I was drugged. I would never betray you like this.""Enough!" my father shouted, his eyes blazing with fury. "I'm not interested in your lies. I’m highly disappointed in you. How could you seduce Alpha Zac on an important day like yesterday knowing how much of an enemy he is to our pack and the reason for his visit. You are my precious daughter, the one chosen to take over the leadership of the pack and you dared betray me like this?” My father fumed and I started sobbing as I couldn’t take it anymore.I sank to my knees, my whole body shaking as I wept. "Please, Father. I'm telling the truth. I wouldn't do this.""I don’t care, Hailey. You are no longer my daughter," my father said coldly. "You have betrayed us all. I have no choice but to banish you from the pack.”"No, please," I sobbed, unable to believe what was happening. "Please, let me stay. I will do anything to prove my innocen
