****Alpha Cain's POV****I stared in the mirror as my beta helped with fixing up my tie. I couldn't think straight, ever since I left the hotel and came back home, the only person in my thoughts was none other than Diane. The memories of the hot sex we had last night wouldn't leave my head, no matter how hard I tried to forget about it. The memories just won't leave.“Alpha Cain, is there something you are not telling me?” Fox asked while arranging my suit.“Like what?”“Like the reason you didn't come back to the pack until this morning?” Shit! I should have known Fox was aware of the whole thing.“It was the rain.”“The rain? That's unbelievable. We both know you left the pack searching for Diane to tell her the truth. And according to my sources, it hasn't been long since Diane arrived at the pack as well. With all of this in place, you can't tell me it's nothing.” I didn't say a word to Fox, but rather heaved a long sigh. “I don't even want to know what you did last night, bu
*****Diane's POV****“Oh dear, you look stunning!”I couldn't help but smile brightly. Finally, Cain will be mine! Is there anything more pleasing than this? I doubt. “Let's head out now, the procession will begin soon.” Since my mom was there, I quickly clung to her, and together we left for the venue. “Have you seen Gina lately, mom?”“Heard she only arrived this morning with the flowers.”“Oh, never knew she was that sensible enough to pass the night. After the wedding, I'll visit her and ask why she slept out late when she knew it was my wedding."“Good! That's precisely what I had in mind. Now that you will finally become Alpha's wife, I'm sure she will have more bad days coming her way.”“Trust me, mom, she will never get a day of peace unless she leaves, since she can't be killed in the pack.”“Exactly, that's why I had to make sure all the witnesses had been secretly wiped out. The news will circulate about their death after the wedding. And guess what?”“What mom, I'm not
***Gina's POV**** I clenched my fist into balls at the realization that I had just been deceived by the one I thought was better. So, I had actually had sex with the Alpha, who ought to have been my mate. Let me rephrase, I had fallen in love with no one else but the Lycan Alpha himself. I shook my head. At that moment, I wasn't concerned with what was happening in the hall. The only thing banging in my head right now was the fact that I had been deceived. I had given my virginity, given my virginity to the man who is getting married to my sister. It took all the self-control in me not to scream out loud right there and then. In order not to make a complete mess of myself, I needed to leave as soon as possible. I took one last glanced at Dave's direction. I forgot he's not Dave, but the Alpha. He didn't look in my direction, but rather focused his attention on Diane, who was smiling cheekily. It was bad enough that my parents had to die at the hands of an unknown enemy, my sis
*****Alpha Cain*****The expression of Diane immediately caused my heart to shrink in pain. I should have expected this. This is a common phenomenon. Whenever I saw her in pain, my heart also felt pain. But why this connection when she isn't even my mate? Why is the moon goddess doing this to us? Why can't Diane be my mate? “Alpha Cain?” I snapped out of my trance the moment I heard the voice of my beta. I took a quick glance at my side, where my mate stood smiling at the crowd, even though her maid of honor had run away. I just didn't understand what was going on. Didn't Gina take notice of her sister's departure? Was there something he was missing between both sisters?”After the wedding procession was over, we headed into our vehicle and headed home. I was supposed to accompany my mate at that moment, but then, I needed to be sure that Diane was okay. She left the hall because of me. The last thing I wanted to happen was for something bad to happen to her. The moment we arrived
*****Diane****The moment Alpha Cain left the room, I swore that I almost screamed out loud in rage. This was supposed to be my wedding night. Even if he had wanted me out of his room, he could have waited to tell me after the night, but no, he made it clear to me that he didn't want me in his room. Could there be anything much worse than a bride and Luna who had just been abandoned by her Alpha? I couldn't quite place my hands on what was actually going on, no matter how hard I tried. What was I to do? Wait for him, or go to my room? No way! That would be very embarrassing. What if the pack members saw me leaving his room? What if they find out that the Alpha has sent me out of his room, probably because he doesn't love me? That will be the greatest of all embarrassment I will have to face. “Since he said he had something to do, I would rather stay in his room for the night to save myself the stress of becoming a laughingstock to the pack members. Now that I think of it, I still
*****Gina's POV**** I woke up, only to find myself in a dark environment. I tried to get up, but my head ached so badly that I fell back down on the ground.“Ground?” I muttered. I looked around me, only to find myself in a mass of dead rogues, with a stench of blood everywhere. Immediately, I scrambled off my feet even though I felt pain. My heart began to beat really fast as I saw all the rogues dismembered. I slowly took my hands to my mouth, trying to stop myself from screaming out loud. At the same time, the memory of what happened flooded my memory.After the rogues all came to attack me, I remembered that I summoned the powers of the scarlet witch and with that, all the rogues that were about attacking me all fell to my deadly spell. Since I had used too much of my powers and the witch's seal wasn't with me, I fell to the ground and immediately went into an unconscious state.I shook my head as tears ran down my cheeks. Not for the death of the rogues, but for the fact th
*****Alpha Cain's POV****“Alpha, I have an urgent report,” My beta informed me through the mind link. Immediately, I stood up from the couch in my office where I had decided to spend the night. “What's going on, Fox?”“I'm close to the pack's territory. I would want you to come see for yourself.”I quickly dashed out of my room and headed out of the pack. Since I was still putting on my suit, I quickly pulled out of what I was putting on and shifted into my wolf before going into the forest. I raced my wolf as fast as I could until I arrived at the place. I saw Fox and the others, they seemed to be staring at something. Though I hadn't gotten close to what they were staring at, the stench of blood instantly spread across my nostrils. I shifted back into human form and headed to the area. In front of me were pieces of flesh and bones. From the offensive smell I perceived, I could quickly deduce that they were rogues. But seeing their flesh all over the place was quite alarming.
*****Gina's POV****As I walked over to Diane's room, I kept thinking about why I was summoned this morning. My mind flashed to the wedding. Maybe she wanted to ask me why I ran out of the hall. She probably must have felt embarrassed. Or perhaps she wanted to ask me why I slept out late.It could either be one of those or both. Either way, I know I was about to get on Diane's nerves from now on. Before now, I decided to stay off her radar and constantly question myself about why life seemed to be unfair to me. But at this point, I don't feel sorry for myself anymore.Ever since the dream I had about my mom, I decided not to feel pity for myself anymore. It was time for me to start fighting for justice. With or without the Alpha, I am going to find out those responsible for my mother's death and why they had to kill her. They never did anything wrong to deserve death.The moment I got to Diane's room door, I took in a deep breath. Just then, I realized that Diane had actually been
