Nora’s POV“Miss Nora, noodles or pasta?” the chef asked."Milk,” I announced. The chef chuckled. Maybe that was a bit too cheerful, which earned me another look from the chef. I laughed nervously. My cheeks were now the shade of a fire truck. Now, this was embarrassing.“Dylan was the best graduate in his class,” I said."Oh, now I see,” she smiled. I searched her face to know if she bought it, but it looked like she didn’t care. I was in a good mood, but I couldn’t tell why.The rest of the cooking was done in absolute silence. Well, except for when she had to ask about certain things about the food. Of which my voice was super low. I asked the chef to leave the food on the kitchen table and go have some rest.“Dylan!” I yelled as I placed the food on the dining table. As I took a seat, I realized that Dylan was not yet down."Dylan, don’t make me come up there!”"Coming, mom!” he said. He must be nestled in front of the video game. I knew Michael was spoiling him. He literally gave

Michael’s POV“So what happened with the night crawlers, huh?" Hercules shook Zen like a little child, wanting answers. They were in my study, sorting through papers for packs that were affiliated with the night crawlers.“Let me be Herc; it’s not my fault you always fall asleep when the party is about to start,” Zen laughed, pushing his hands away."Idiot,” Hercules said, and he hit him on the arm and moved away.“Wait till I get you,” Zen said while trying to retaliate, but he missed. That attracted a round of laughter from Hercules. And that was how they ran around my office like little children. And there I was writing a memo to the court of the werewolves. I was telling them that if they were to see any night crawlers, they should be killed immediately.One of them came last night and began to fight, and I tore him apart. Yesterday was a full moon. The others came in the morning, and we took them prisoners, but Zeus, their leader, escaped.“Can you guys keep it down for a moment?

Maria’s POV“Natalia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I shrieked once more for the maid. My fury has not abated since the mating ceremony. I was tired of seeing werewolves gallivant the pack with their mates. This is the worst since Jake began to misbehave. He was always coming back home late, but this time he stayed weeks away from home. I was worried sick.“No!” I shook my head as I got up from bed. I was still Luna of the Viola Pack, and nobody would take my place. I have heard rumors that Jake was seeing a werewolf in another pack. I couldn’t fathom the reality that Jake could one day make her his mate.I looked over at his own side of the bed, and my heart sank. He's not been in it for days.Growing up, as I watched the Luna, I badly wanted to be one. I tried being friends with the Alpha’s son. He was starting to love me, but suddenly he died. It was said that Jake would be next in line. Jake was Nora’s. I couldn't watch her be Luna. No way.I had daydreamed about being the Alpha’s mate, boast

Chapter 38Nora’s POV“Mommy mommy!” Dylan busted into my room like a broken dam. Immediately, I sat up in bed. He climbed up the bed.“Hi handsome,” I grinned. His little hands enveloped me in what I think was a bear hug. He wrapped his hands around my neck as he squeezed tighter. I chuckled."Mummy, where have you been? I have been waiting for you, “he said, looking into my eyes. There was a knock on the door.“Come on in!” I yelled. The door opened widely, and I could see Anna, the maid.“Good morning, Mrs.” she clasped her hands over her mouth. “I mean, Miss Nora." I laughed.“Good morning, Anna. I hope you slept well." She nodded, smiling.“Come on, let’s go fry some pancakes.” Dylan shook me by the shoulders."Okay, okay, we will, sweetheart.” I laughed. I looked around. I hadn’t taken a shower or brushed my teeth."Now, sweetheart, will you follow Miss Anna here to the kitchen? I will be right down, okay?” He nodded and jumped off.“Miss Anna, you look beautiful today,” Dylan s

Jake’s POVThe night would have been a good one if not for this darn event. I had picked up a new Tuxedo on my way from Maria‘s room. All the moments spent with Nora had made me have some blue balls. Nora, yes, she knows it. She was a teaser. Always play the innocent card. Well, that was what made me like her in the first place. I wonder if she knows what she’s doing to me. As for Maria, she was like stale bread in my mouth. I don’t know what I would do with her. She’s also lost it in sex. The sex was mid.I walked into my room and picked up the invitation again. Anger seeped through my veins and found its way into my hands. I scrunched the paper in one hand and threw it away. Asshole.Taking off my clothes, I walked into the shower and had a quick bath. I was buttoning my shirt when I heard something. I listened again.There was a knock at the door.“Come in,” I said, applying some oil. My beta walked in.“Your highness, the car is ready,” he said."Okay,” I murmured, and he left. I
