Chapter 59Alexander's POVIt had been three days since the incident between the Maria and I and during the past three days, we had made sure to stay away from one another, we were both trying to avoid making the same mistake we had made again.The mate bond kept pulling me toward her her but I held on to my resolve, I could not go to her again and make things even worse than they were already.Throughout the past days, I could feel her uncertainty and sadness, I could tell something weighed heavily on her mind and I had to stop myself on many occasions from calling her and asking what the problem was.Even now as I read through work related emails, I could feel it, the overwhelming sadness and everything.I blocked out thoughts of her, it was only a complication to keep thinking of her.My disturbed thoughts were disturbed by the sound of the door opening.Raising my head in the direction of the door, I noticed it was Sam."Good to see you are not lazing around on bed" he said as he
Chapter 60Maria’s POVThere was only one word to describe the situation in my house and it was volatile, everyone was on edge, Ethan was getting worse with each passing day or was it every passing hour? I did not even know anymore, yesterday he had attacked a maid, I shuddered to think about what might have happened if the guards had not restrained him.I looked like a ghost these days, looking at my reflection in the mirror, I noticed my skin was deathly pale and my hair was losing its natural shine, my lips were a dull pink now and my eyes looked soulless.A sigh escaped my lips as I tied my hair into a loose ponytail on top of my head, it was not for any form of fashion or style, it was simply to keep out of my way, I had not had a proper meal in days, I had taken to drinking bottle after bottle of wine, the maids had tried to make me eat something but all I could manage was soup.My mum said nothing to me but I caught the look of pity, guilt, sadness and many other negative emoti
Chapter 61 Alex’s POV Summoning the council had been easy, they came as soon as I called, they seemed like they were waiting for my call all along, I sat with them and I saw the look in their eyes, they looked at me in a way that made feel weird, they looked at me hoping I could provide answers and solution on ground. I had told them that I had heard the news of the head Alpha losing his mind and how that was a big problem for the entire werewolf community and how we needed to find a way to solve it immediately. “If Ethan is truly unwell as the rumors are saying then we have a major problem on our hand, it is an issue that must be handled immediately” I said to them. “We agree completely, a new Alpha must be selected as soon as possible, the people are becoming very restless, the news of the mad Alpha is spreading through the community like wild fire and the people need some sort reassurance that we can still protect them” Marcus said. The others nodded their heads and I said “I
Sharon Sandoval’s POVHe remained silent all through the times I spoke, he said nothing, his eyes fixed on me, I could not deny that there was something uncomfortable about his gaze, it was like the look of predator looking at a prey, Alexander Dupree may hate to hear this but he was looked exactly like his father, even their mannerisms were alike, he had the same darkness of his father, an aura of power surrounded him all the time, Michael Dupree was a fool, one only had to look at Alexander and know that he was born to be a powerful Alpha.“Sharon Sandoval, I assure you I have no plans of leading, anyone can be the alpha for all I care, I am just trying to help” he said.A scoff left my lips “Every man has the will to take power and you Alexander Dupree will not be the exception” I said to him as I took a seat before the men.A smile appeared on his face “I am already a powerful man Mrs. Sandoval, even if I ever become the Alpha of the crescent pack or any other pack here, it will ju
Maria's POVI knew I was in trouble the moment, he joined me in the garden, my heart rate had spiked the moment his intoxicating smell floated into my nose, my body yearned for him and if I was being honest with myself, I did not have the strength to push him away today and I did not really want to, I just needed to be held and loved and I knew that it was only in his arms I could feel the love I craved."You look exhausted Maria" he said."Speak for yourself, you look like shit" I said with a small smile.A chuckle escaped his lips "Well the last few weeks have been very eventful" he said. I nodded my head without saying anything, staring straight ahead at the skies.Silence descended between us, it was not exactly comfortable nor was it uncomfortable."I am sorry about last time, it was my fault" he said.I turned to him and said "I am not sorry Alex, I am not sorry about what happened between us last time"He was quiet for a while and then he said "I am not sorry either, I am just
Chapter 64Maria’s POVI woke up to the sound of hurried and loud knocking on my bedroom door, I sprung out of bed and rushed to open the door. It was one of the maids, she looked absolutely tired and harassed, I made a mental note to give all of them a raise at the end of the month.“Yes, what is it?” I asked her, my voice scratched and edgy from all the crying I did last night.“It is the Alpha, he just woke up and he has been calling for you, I think he is stable now” she said.She did not need to say anymore, I rushed past her not even bothering with my robe, I rushed straight to Ethan’s room.Even from the hallway, I could hear him shouting my name, pounding on the door and trying to get out.I got to the door and pulled it open not even waiting for a moment’s pause, I opened the door and was met with those perfect green eyes of his, though they were wild and looked positively tired but they immediately softened the moment they fell on me.He grabbed me and pulled me into what co
Chapter 64Alex’s POV“Hostile” that was the only word to describe the environment at the mansion, the maids were on edge, the guards were jumpy and the madam herself had smoke coming out of her ears and her eyes blazing with fire.That was my thought when I walked into the mansion, I was shown immediately to the breakfast room where I found Maria pacing and Ethan was looking very much like a schoolboy that had just being scolded.I cleared my throat as I walked in, all eyes turned to me, Ethan’s darkened considerably while Maria’s narrowed before she cleared her throat and said “Come in Alex, I am so glad you could join us after all”A smile crossed my lips and then I said “Well it was hard not to after the threat I received over the phone”Her eye only narrowed once more and then she said “Have a seat Alex, we have a lot to discuss”I nodded my head and walked over to an armchair and sat down, I could feel Ethan’s eyes on me as I sat so I turned to him and said “Glad to see you coul
Chapter 65Alexander's POVThe house on the address Maria had given me was not what I had been expecting at all, yes she had gone off the grid for years now but I did not expect her to be leaving in such desolate conditions, the house looked pretty much uninhabited.Taking a deep breath, I walked over to the front door and rang the doorbell, it didn't look like it was functioning anymore but one could always hope.The doorbell rang and a smile curved my lips, at least one thing was working in the house, I shifted on the steps and it gave a loud squeak and I feared it will give out under my feet if I stood there any longer.I heard the sound of the locks and a few seconds later the door swung open to reveal the inhabitant of the uninhabited looking house.It was the woman from the websites, Dr. Emily Carter, though she had looked far more glorious on her pictures than she looked right now.Her rich blonde hair looked dull and pretty much unkempt, her blue eyes that had shone with intel
