Garren's POV: She was crying yet again, and I was the bastard to blame. My lycan was furious with me, and I felt very angry with myself as well. Her words not only cut deep through my heart, but they also made me realize how unfair I was to her. It wasn't her fault that I was her mate; it was fate's fault. And just because I hated her father, I had no right to hurt her. If she wasn't Ian's child, would I have loved her? Without a doubt. In a few days, she proved to be what I secretly wanted in a woman. She was strong, courageous, intelligent, and sensitive in bed. As much as I wanted her, it always occurred to me whose child she was. But after hearing her sad words, I felt something in me break. I wanted to treat her right, even if it was just for a moment. I wanted to be the guy she wanted badly. I wanted to be her mate, but for some reason, I just couldn't. I pulled back and raised my hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks. "Roxanne, if you truly want to be with me and if you
Neo's POV: I was very nervous as the pack came into view. For hours we had been driving and we were all preparing ourselves for anything that would come our way. Calling the Alpha of the pack was a good idea, but if we did he wouldn't have accepted to see us. That's why we had decided to go in without informing him and that was a risk we were all taking. Trespassing or stepping on the grounds of another Alpha's territory meant either war or death but we really wanted his help. When we crossed the pack's border I noticed a few warriors hiding in the bushes on each side. They were definitely waiting for their Alpha's orders. "Oh wow," Toni whispered beside me when the pack house came into view. "It's magnificent isn't It?" Lee asked at the back seat "For a pack house it definitely is," Whiteny who sat next to Lee responded. Since our discussion back at Felix's house, we had no time to waste so we packed a few things that we would need and got into our cars then started off. The
Roxanne's POV: I looked out the window with a low sigh as Garren drove in silence. I wrote the letter that I left for Thelma to drop off, although I had my doubts if she would actually do it. Everything felt so unreal and rushed, but the decision was already made and there was no going back. I wanted to be with my mate. "It may be a test," my wolf whispered. "I know," I silently answered. Test or not, I didn't care. The plan was simple: all I had to do was make him fall in love with me as soon as possible. Then I was going to convince him to go back with me to my pack. There, we would explain everything to my parents and hopefully stay for a little bit before finding our own place. I looked at my mate's free hand, which was on his thigh, then slowly moved mine and pressed it against his. "I'm driving," he said coldly without looking at me. "I know," I answered without taking my hand away from his. It was no secret that he was extremely wealthy. From his clothes to his mansi
Damon's POV: I had been staring coldly at Ian's Beta for over an hour without saying a word, contemplating ways to kill him without interference. The room was silent, as everyone could feel the tension. I wanted nothing more than to exact revenge on the bastard for blinding my incredible mate in the past. Sherry sat in a chair in my office, still wearing her blindfold to conceal her ability to see from Ian and his friends. Originally, my plan was to escort her to our bedroom and have the twins look after her, but she became stubborn and insisted on accompanying me. When I refused, her wolf growled angrily as a warning, so I allowed her to stand next to me in my office. After all, she was my Luna and mate. "Alpha Damon, please stop glaring at my Beta. It's been hours, and he's feeling uncomfortable and intimidated by you," Ian said seriously. If he truly felt that way, then it was good. I wanted him to be so intimidated that he would die. "Neo, don't you have something to say to
Ian's POV: All that went through my mind was, "It's all my fault," over and over again. If I hadn't allowed others to come with me and Felix that night, everything wouldn't have happened. Aurora's hand went on my thigh, tapping there a few times. "Is there a way to track him down or find him?" Lee asked. "Now the traitor speaks. Is this how you repay me for showing you my generosity years ago?" Damon asked coldly. It was clear he wanted Lee to keep his mouth shut about his pack. "Cut it out, will you," I whispered softly, trying to calm myself down. "You don't get to tell me shit, Ian. This is my..." "Quiet!" Axel growled angrily when he took over for a second. The room instantly fell silent, and no one dared to move. In his voice was not only dominance but also a clear warning. If he continued mocking us, we would gladly take him down. Just because I was playing the meek act towards him so I could get his help, it didn't mean Axel was in on it. When I knelt down in front
Garren's POV: "And off we go," I said softly after I had opened the door for Roxanne. She hesitated for a second before getting out. Her gaze was fixed on my mansion, as expected, and that made me smirk. The huge mansion ahead of us wasn't a typical mansion that everyone liked at first glance. First of all, it was painted black, and secondly, the door handle had a skeleton design. With her werewolf abilities, she was able to see the place clearly despite it being very late at night. The idea to paint it that way and in that color came from an interior designer and architecture friend I rarely associated with. He was so in love with dark colors, and I didn't mind at all because the place was rarely used, so why not make it weird? Also, there was something that a few supernatural beings knew about me which left them shocked, but with time, they got used to it. As much as I enjoyed classical music and formal wear, there were rare times when I was overwhelmed by emotions and turned t
Roxanne's POV: "Roxanne," he called softly, then raised his hand and covered his face. "Are you in a lot of pain?" I asked again, concerned. He dropped his hand and looked down at me seriously. I was very worried, and words couldn't even begin to explain how I felt at the moment. When I heard the sound of a gunshot coming from outside the mansion, I came running downstairs, stumbling and falling just to get to him. Although my leg had already healed, I was still in pain, yet I cared less about it. Him being okay was all that mattered to me the most. "You will be okay," I whispered softly as a lot of thoughts invaded my mind. I still couldn't stop thinking about how I stood up, leaped, and ran outside to where the scent of gunpowder was coming from. When my eyes met my mate's, my heart ached badly as I stopped in my tracks. There and then, I understood the situation he was in. They had opened fire on him, and he had taken them down. As I ran to him, I felt relieved, knowing ho
Sherry's POV: I sat on my daughter's bed as Maggie brushed my hair. "Where is Damon?" I asked softly. "In his study. Right after your meal, he asked me to inform you privately that he had something to look at," she answered as my wolf growled angrily. She didn't like that our mate was acting distant with us since Ian and his men were spending the night over. "And the twins?" I asked. "They are at the training field as usual," she answered. "Good. Now then, did you invite Alpha Ian and Beta Neo to this room?" I asked softly. "Yes, Luna, I did. Although they both looked surprised, they easily agreed," she answered. I was about to say how she had done a good job when I heard a knock. I wanted to talk to them somewhere privately, that's why I asked Maggie to be present, and I chose one of the twins' bedrooms because it was the safest choice, I believed. "Please come in," I answered, knowing fully well who they were by their scent. I heard the door open, then light footsteps ap
