Astra’s POVThe pack was buzzing with people from the pack and nearby packs, it was finally the day for the ball Alpha Ramsey had been spending so much of his time setting up. I stood in from of the mirror in my room looking at the ball gown I have designed for myself. Zoe was standing next to me and her eyes were lit up as she look at the beautiful gown that endowed my beauty. “This looks so exceptional on you, you have a great taste I must say lady Astra,” Zoe said and I chuckled tilting my head to look at her “You are forgetting that you choose this design Zoe, the compliment is meant for you not for me” I replied and she chuckled “Well you sew the dress and add more touch of glamour to it, the compliment can’t be mine alone, sit down and let me help you with your makeup,” she said and I nodded sitting down on the chair close to my dressing table. Zoe pull out the makeup box she has stressed herself to get for me, she pull out different things and started applying them on my fa
Alpha Ramsey’s POV I clenched my hands angrily as I look at the dead body laying on the floor before me, who could have done this and this could lead to provocation of war between the two packs? I tilted my head and look at everyone in the ball, they all look scared and I wasn’t sure who could have done this, “I said who did this!”I roar again and most people whimpered. There were murmurs between the people and I am sure they weren’t expecting this too. “What happened?”I heard my mother ask and I tilted my head to look at her, she gasped when she saw the dead body on the floor, her eyes darted around before it fell on me. I had invited everyone across the pack to come for the party and Alpha Noah send one of his trusted men to the pack which was good because I didn’t want him to meet Astra also I can’t extend my invitation to everyone in the other packs without inviting him“Excuse me alpha,” a guard said and I tilted my head to look at the guard “What is it?”I asked, my eyes bur
Astra’s POV I have never been so shaken like the way I was with what happened at the ball, I had expected everything but I haven’t expected someone to die and the blame will almost be pushed on me. My hands were still quivering and it felt like my body doesn’t want to relax even after alpha Ramsey showed her believes me.An investigation was going on and I was in my room, laying in my bed, and found nothing fun to go out to, I wanted Alpha Ramsey to find the culprit as soon as possible so that I can be free and people can stop laying accusing gazes on me, the word has spread fast across the whole pack and people are busy murmuring and talking about it. I had so many regrets about that night, maybe I shouldn’t have gone out for the ball or maybe I should have run away when alpha Ramsey mentioned Vera, I don’t know what to think about anymore but I just wished I never had an encounter with Simon. I breathe out deeply and squeeze my eyes shut hoping I could have a good sleep and calm
Vera’s POV I have been restless ever since Alpha Ramsey noticed the blood on my dress, how could he have seen something as tiny as that? I felt agitated and I don’t know what to do. I know I would be in trouble if he finds anything against me. I haven’t gone out of my room for those days now and Luna Eleanor hasn’t come over to check on me which made me feel glad. I sighed and switched off the shower and came out of the bathroom. I sat down on my dressing table and look at myself in the mirror, I decided to dress up and go outside today and don’t make myself look suspicious, I love how all attention is on Astra and how the maids have told me people were busy talking about her and calling her the culprit around the pack. It made me happy and I know the attention will never be on me. I pull out of my drawer looking through my belongings when I suddenly remembered the ring I wore to the ball and my necklace, I didn’t return it back and it wasn’t in my box of jewelry in the drawer. I
Alpha Noah’s POV I was shocked when Alpha Ramsey called me to inform me about the death of Simon. I had received the invitation from Alpha Ramsey to the ball he hosted recently and h wasn’t in a good mood to attend any ball so I asked Simon to go which he eagerly accepted. I haven’t expected his corpse will be brought back to the pack, I breathe out deeply rehearsing my words in my head. I decided to visit Simon's family to show my condolences. I stepped inside his home, his wife and kids now before me immediately and I raise my head to stop them. “It’s fine!”I said and they sat down. I sat down on one of the sofas, the guards guarding were standing both on my left and right-hand side.“I am sorry about the lost of your husband and father, I hadn’t expected him to die and I promise you, I will take care of your needs and children, the pack will make sure they feed well and acquire things their father would have given to them,” I said and Simon’s wife and kids bow before me. “Thank
ALPHA RAMSEY'S POVI kissed her, my body leaped for joy. I had just gotten double relief and happiness. The moments in her arms, when my lips touched hers. It was heavenly. "If only I could have her to myself without any circumstantial problems or issues," I thought to myself. A thought of Luna Eleanor entered my head and I immediately felt angry and irritated. I imagined how she must have felt to find out Astra wasn't the perpetrator of what she had accused her of. I knew her pride wouldn't even let her stop by for an apology, but the knowledge of victory was more than satisfying for me, and knowing Astra had been exonerated was peace. I felt sober about Simon and Vera's death, less for Vera's death because that could have been Astra, and well, she wouldn't have cared to spill the truth. The reason she had killed Simon still felt vague and it felt as though we were missing an important motive. The thought of Astra being the one who had died disturbed me for a bit, the courtroom
ASTRA'S POVI watched Alpha Ramsey leave my room that morning, after he made me his, and the two of us shared a bed. It was a delightful thought knowing I was him and he was mine. I groaned with pleasure, squinting as the sunlight filtered through the window above my head. I fell back and on my bed and smiled deeply. I felt peace and a sense of achievement. The door to my chamber opened again and I watched him come in. Flashes from the last night replayed in my head and I remembered every tiny detail of the coupling we did last night, his body against mine. It was something I couldn't obliterate from my memory."You have a smile plastered on your face, mind telling me the good news?" He asked me, entering with some food on a tray. I tried my best to hide the sheepish smile that had surfaced on my face as I looked at him one more time. I only managed to mumble a quiet "No."He shrugged. "Here's breakfast anyway, I caught up with a cook on my way out and had them make something for
Kylie's POVI was in my room, pacing to and fro in agitation. My heart was restless and it beat with hatred for Astra. It was appalling how fast I'd come to detest her: from the way she used to walk around the house like she owned it, to the way Noah used to treat her as though she was the most special thing in the world.The mere sight of them together all those months back had made me want to pull my hair out in frustration.I paused my pacing and glanced down at myself. What did Astra have that I didn't? I couldn't deny that she was extremely beautiful, but I was too, wasn't I? And I had the upper hand by being of royal blood and pure ancestry.Noah had rejected her fair and square. He had fallen for the lies I had cooked against Astra, and he had banished her too. But why was he still so smitten by her? Why did he have her name on his lips in his every waking moment? Why?At least I was carrying his child. If that wasn't enough hold on the alpha, I didn't know what was.My anger f
