Genevieve's pov.“My lady.” The two maids whom I had caught gossiping entered my room, shaking from fear. They couldn't even look me in the eyes, but I was glaring so much at them that I could have bore holes into their skins.“Can you two kindly continue what you were saying in the yard? Go ahead and finish your discussion, right here.” I told them and they turned to look at each other in surprise and confusion.“Are you deaf!?” They flinched and immediately got on their knees, realizing that I had overheard their conversation earlier.“We're sorry my lady, we are sorry.” They began to plead, shedding tears that didn't even move me. These maids can be cunning at times, I know their cries are fake and they're just looking for the easy way out.“Tell me exactly why you think it's okay for you to spread false rumors about me? What if the Alpha was the one who heard this? What do you think it would have done to our m

Genevieve's pov.The moment I left Thorn's room, I knew I was going to get back at him. I wanted to show him a little of what he should expect for consistently rejecting me. He doesn't know who he's messing around with.I was meeting with some new recruits to start their training and I had no idea that it would provide the perfect opportunity for me to get back at Thorn.I saw him while I was yelling at the recruits and decided to spite him, thankfully, it worked and I had successfully achieved what I wanted.The joy I felt when he slapped the young soldier across the face was indescribable. But I had to pretend to be pissed off by what he had just done.“What did you do that for!?” I asked with wide eyes, placing my hand on my waist. The young soldier rubbed his cheek painfully.“He didn't have any right to be that close to you. The alpha wouldn't be happy to see you in such a compromising position.” He answered, keeping a straight face like nothing had just happened.“And what gave

Thorn's pov.When I heard that Genevieve and I were going into the village, I initially thought it was one of her plots to get us alone. But I realized that she didn't plan it when Alpha Jamie told me by himself to follow his wife into the village, warning me to keep her safe.His wife! How I hate to hear him call her his wife and claim her. She wasn't even his mate! Shouldn't he be doing this? Going into the village? But no, he sent Genevieve. I don't blame him for that though, Genevieve is a resilient woman and could tackle anything.Early the next morning, I got ready, putting on my official outing uniform which was only worn when we had official business outside the palace. I must admit, I look kind of hot when I'm wearing it.I left my room and went to wait for Genevieve in front of her room. I was informed by Cara that she wasn't in her room, instead, she was in the private dining room with the alpha, having breakfast. I decided to go and wait there for her.A few minutes later,

Thorn's povI really needed a break away from Genevieve because I couldn't believe she finally seduced me once more. Though she had the perfect curves and I wanted to be with her, I needed to be careful not to fall deeply for her because of the Alpha. I was sent to wolfang for a mission, and that needed to be done very fast. These are what I pondered on as I followed closely behind her while she went through the village. I looked around, monitoring closely against any danger that might befall her. I observed an arrow fired from a distance raging towards her.I immediately jumped in, catching the arrow with my hands. I smuggled her gently to safety under a shade. "Who was that?" she asked with her eyes glaring around the pounce on anyone that was the culprit. "I have no idea. He took off immediately after firing the arrow, " I said under my breath to her hearing. She got back up and tried heading out from the shade."It's not safe yet," holding her back by her arm. "Let go off me. W

Thorn’s POVI really needed a break away from Genevieve, so I sneaked away from the palace to the lake just a few blocks away from the Palace. I knew the risk that came along with such an act, but I cared less about it. Time was not on my side, and I had not gotten close to even a clue to help my sister. I needed to seriously focus on my mission here and push Genevieve away, but it seemed like the harder i tried, the worse it got. I knew I strongly wanted, but I had to resist with every ounce of strength in me. I could not hide my urge around her, so that would definitely be what she used to feed and try to take advantage of. After I had leased off the burden in me by listening to the soft sound of the waters, I returned back to the palace and returned to my room. I got close to my door and found it slightly open compared to how I left it when I had gone out. I opened the door slowly, mounting my guard against any attack. Surprisingly, I found Genevieve holding down a man whom sh
