POV: Xander“Aurora is restless, Butterfly. You have been running non-stop for three hours straight. She needs a break, cupcake. As a matter of fact, I think you need a break too. If there is something bothering you, why don’t you just let it out so we can sort it out together. I’m already stressed out, I can’t have you breaking down at this point. You are the reason I’m still standing strong, you are my source of strength at this point in my life. I can’t trust anyone around me, but I know I can trust and depend on you. Why don’t you take a break with me, come on, let’s sit for a while.” I coaxed her, begging and hoping that she would listen to me. She shifted into her beast the moment we left the house, not minding if anyone discovered her wolf or not. She just kept running deeper into the woods, stressing her wolf and mine for no reason at all.If I didn’t know better, I would think that she is being chased by something or someone. I couldn’t keep up with her speed, and it wasn’t f
POV: Xander“Thank you,” I muttered softly, kissing her even more. It’s nice to know that someone has my back despite all the traitors around me. We were still at the waterfall and she lay peacefully in my arms as the waters cascaded down into the river next to us. The sounds from the waterfall are enough to hide our scent and block out our conversation from anyone trying to listen in on our conversation. Even our wolves knew about the danger we were facing, so our inner thoughts were being shielded from outsiders as we created a bond that was stronger than any other.It seems I’m considered a daddy’s boy who has to seek permission from my father before taking any action. This is why I’m being taken for granted by everyone, including my lycan brothers. My father is still the king, so basically, I still take orders from him before taking any action. And sometimes he makes it a bit difficult for me and he makes me look incompetent and dependent on him.I guess that is what the rogues ar
POV: Xander“I don’t care about the rogues, and I don’t fucking care if they burn in hell or not. But please, Xan, save my brother. He’s the only family I have now, and apart from you, he is the only one I can depend on if things don’t go the way we planned. I will never forgive him for what he did to my family, but at the same time, I don’t want to lose him, Xan. I want to hate him forever, but I still want him alive, I want to know within my heart that I’m not the last of my family, I want to know that I have a brother somewhere who may realize his mistakes one day and turn a new leaf. He could continue our bloodline and help us convince some unrepentant traitors that we are not as bad as the rogues paint us to be. I could talk to him and make him change, I just need to spend some time with him without the other rogue leaders whispering in his ears and telling him what to do.” She said sadly, holding my hand firmly to prove her point.I could tell from her eyes that she hadn’t slept
POV: Heather“Hello little pea, how was your night?” Richard asked me, startling me from my thoughts. I was in the bathroom getting ready to leave just like Xander instructed. Alexia was here the moment Xander left and she had tears in her eyes. I don’t think she had any sleep all through the night as well. She looked so sad a troubled, I’m guessing she hid somewhere and waited for Xander to leave. Then she sneaked in here to speak with me.“Heather, you have to believe me, I swear to you that it wasn’t my brother, I can swear on my life. He loves Xander more than anything in the world, he would never betray him for anything in the world. Someone tried to set him up, and I’m sure he wouldn’t have fallen into their trap if I didn’t call him to meet me up. He did not do it, he hates the rogues as much as Xander, and he will never be seen near any of them. Besides, as Twins, we have a special bond that makes it impossible for him to lie to me. Until we find our mates, our bond as twins s
POV: Xander“Where the fuck are you, Xan?You need to get back here as soon as possible, Heather has been taken by the rogues. They attacked again and they took her away. Why would they take her, why not just kill her like they always do?It’s not their way to kidnap a victim, they are not known to threaten and ask for ransom. They are known to kill and destroy. So why did they take her away?Except she is one of them, Xan. Now I’m beginning to put the pieces together. They never showed their faces until she arrived, I think she is the mole you are talking about, I think she went with them willingly and only pretended to be kidnapped just to get us to believe that she was in trouble. You have been literally sleeping with the enemy, Xander. Yet you stand there and accuse me of being a mole after everything we have been through.” Alexis mind linked me, sounding pissed and relieved at the same time.I simply shook my head at his message, trying not to get pissed by his mean words about H
POV: Heather“Tell me, little par, how did you do it?How the hell did you get him to fall in love with you so soon?You must be so good in bed, you fucked his brains out and got him dancing to your tone, didn’t you?That is quite commendable, I’m so proud of you. No woman has ever been able to get his attention since the death of that whore he has for a mate. Many girls have tried, hell, even her sister who happens to be a whore has also tried to get him out of his misery. But none succeeded until you came along. I’m guessing you fucked pretty good, and now I’m jealous.You see, I knew Celia, and I had a lot of fun with her when her stupid husband was out of town chasing shadows in a sorry attempt to get us. She was quite the pornstar if you know what I mean. She fucked me real good, and I knew that was how she got the prince to love her. Then after we killed her I got in bed with her sister too. Damn, she was good, but not as hot and flexible as Celia.Even if she was good in bed to
POV: Heather“Don’t you want to know why we fucked the lycan princesses?” he asked me, looking at me for the first time since Richard left, trying to read me or so I guess anyway.I really want to know why they had affairs with Xander's dead wife and her sister, I want to know everything, but I don’t know if he is just being sincere with me or maybe he is just testing me to see my reaction. He kept scrutinizing me, weighing my reaction to determine his next words. I tried to keep a straight face so I didn’t look too desperate, but he saw right through my act and he laughed out so loudly that the other rogue leaders turned around to look at us suspiciously, wondering what we were talking about.“Don’t ever play poker, sweetheart. You’ll lose terribly,” he laughed at me, making me feel stupid for trying to outsmart a rogue leader. He squatted in front of me, looking straight into my eyes as if he were daring me to look away. His eyes, there was something about them that held my gaze the
POV: XanderI left with a few warriors, heading straight to that particular spot in the woods that I’d sworn never to go to. I haven’t been to this part of the woods since Celia’s body was removed from that spot and buried in the lycan territory. Richard knows how much Celia and Heather mean to me, and that is why he abducted Heather and took her to the spot where they had murdered my dearest Celia. It’s the same spot that her parents were killed too, and if her brother had a shred of humanity left in him, he would never have brought her back there to begin with.But no…He is too far gone to think about the consequences of his actions, as a matter of fact, he is even dangerous to himself and his rogue brothers. After his call, I had General Harold split the warriors and leave back a few guys to handle what was left in the mines. I left instructions with them, and they were to mind link me if things go south. I made sure we left guys that could handle everything before I left. I was g
