Chapter 21Alexa's POVI wake up feeling very exhausted. I had exhausted all my energy by crying myself to sleep the previous day. I stand up from my bed and groggily walk to my dressing table. The sight of my reflection staring back at me startled me. My hazel eyes are red and swollen and my cheeks are all puffy. I packed my long black hair to one side of my shoulder. The mating mark on the crook of my neck has stopped bleeding but still hasn't healed. I've only been in the pack for a day, but I'm already feeling so exhausted.I knew the Alpha would hate me after finding out the truth, but I didn't expect the hatred to be to this extent. Everybody hates and rejects me after finding out the truth. But not Ace, a small voice at the back of my mind whispered. I smiled at the thought. Yes, not Ace. He's the only one who truly accepted me the way I am. But what did you do? The voice whispered again. I pushed him away. Tears well up in my eyes again. What am I going to know? How am I goi

Chapter 23Alexa's POVMy entire arm is throbbing in pain from the way the Alpha is gripping me tightly. My hand was on fire I thought my bones were completely crushed. But I keep a normal face even though all I want to do is scream loudly in pain. Beads of sweat appeared on my forehead. I could not bear it anymore, so I tried to wiggle my hand free. That turned out to be a big mistake. The Alpha held my hand tighter under the table and kept chatting with his pack members with a straight face.They all kept laughing and making jokes, completely oblivious to the severe pain I was feeling. They even discussed an heir and the Alpha agreed. Which got me confused and nervous.How can there be an heir when the Alpha doesn't even want to see my face? I have to do something to get the Alpha to notice me, or else all my plans are going to fall through. The Alpha excused himself to go to his office. He let go of my hand with disgust and wiped his hand thoroughly with the napkin before standing

Chapter 25Alpha Kai's POVI am taking a walk outside with the Chief and discussing my plans for the selection process. I had already decided I would have the ball on the same day as my birthday. I had also chosen the girl I wanted from the files the chief sent to my office. I decided the best woman suited to be by my side was Luna. The ball is only still being held just for formalities to host the people who had already been invited. I was looking at the Chief and explaining everything I wanted to happen at the ball with him when I suddenly felt someone bump into me, stopping me abruptly from what I'm saying. I looked down at the floor to see who it was that was blind enough not to see me coming.Alexa again! I glare at her, irritated. Was she deaf when I asked her to stay far away from me? Or is she just too dumb to comprehend what I said? I look down at her pathetically laying on her back. I take in her appearance. Her white gown is dirty and muddy, and her hair looks ruffled and

Chapter 27Alexa's POV“Just say it already,” I say impatiently, scaring Kira. This is probably the first time she has seen me like this. I have always been calm and patient with her, but not right now. I don't have the patience to just sit around and wait for her to talk when she's ready. She has already made me anxious by just calling the Alpha's name. Any news that has to do with the Alpha always turns out to be bad news for me."M..my lady, when I went into the kitchen to get your food, I heard some maids saying some things about the Alpha that he...... I'm uncertain if it's in my place to tell you something like this,” she started to speak but changed the subject all of a sudden.“Who do you serve?” I mutter slowly.“Y…you, my lady,” she stutters.“And what are your duties?” I ask impatiently.“I'm to take care of you, serve you and answer only to you….,”“Exactly, you answer to me,” I say, cutting her off. “And when I say speak, you speak up,” I probe, my patience starting to we

Chapter 29Alexa's POVU…uncle Gaius.Why the hell is he here? Did he find me? Cold sweat broke out all over my body just with that thought. “Alpha Gaius, you made it,” the Alpha says as he turned around to face him.“A…alpha Gaius?” I mutter, pure dread coursing through my veins. So, he is the Alpha of the Grey wood pack now. After framing me and making my brother hate me. He cunningly neglected my brother and made himself the Alpha. I should have known that was his plan all along. He got rid of me because he knew with me around it will be very hard, almost impossible for him to become Alpha. I feel myself seething with anger. I want to turn around and slap him hard right across his face. But I can't do that now, I can't let him see me like this, not when I don't have enough power to defend myself. Not when I'm still labeled as a traitor to the Grey Wood pack, and they all want my head. If I make any slight mistake, and he notices me, he might lie to the Alpha that I'm a traitor wh
