Chapter 71 A changed manNIA’S POVGael looks so peaceful when asleep. No one would think he is capable of causing any trouble. Checking the alarm clock, it's past our usual waking time. I guess Gael intends to sleep in late today. Placing a kiss on his cheek, I headed out. I was halfway to getting ready for the clinic when my phone rang loudly.Shit! I knew I was supposed to take care of something. It's Perry calling, and I am sure she is about to give me an earful. I didn't tell her anything about my consumption of poison and only mentioned it casually in a text, just like it had taken me a while to say to her about me and Gael.She didn't hesitate to rebuke me the last time, and I am sure this won't be an exception. Clearing my throat, I bite down on my lip, trying to prepare myself mentally for her next raging attack. My wolf seems to be in as much discomfort as I am, too. Perry can be terrifying, and I feel sorry for her mate and children. They would have no choice but to deal wi

Chapter 73 The OrdinationNIA’S POV“You look so beautiful.” Gael mused for the umpteenth time.I giggled in response, admiring myself in the long silver dress with an exposed neckline. Gael does have a pleasant taste when it comes to attires. I was surprised when the dress got delivered to me yesterday. I didn't realize send-off parties were a big deal around here. It's almost the same as the many balls that Gael throws.He circled my waist, turning me to face him. “I have something to tell you after the party, so get into full gear and try your best to wait up for me and not leave too early. There would be many toasts given before I can slip away.” He said, kissing me.I rubbed at his arm, still smiling. “What is it you want to tell me?”“It's a surprise.”“Can I get a hint?”“It will no longer be a surprise if you get a hint.”I smacked my lips in disappointment. “That's not fair. You will have me thinking about it all day long.”Gael grinned sheepishly, “That makes sense. It means

Chapter 75 Caught in the ActGAEL’S POVThe masculine figure on top of her fell to the floor quickly, and Nia threw out her hands weakly in a sleepy manner. My eyes searched the floor, and her dress and his shirt were all on the ground.I stumbled to the back, not believing my eyes. It can't be happening. I tried not to believe it, but seeing the man wear his clothes quickly, I realized I wasn't hallucinating. I saw it right.“How dare you, you bastard!” I bellowed, throwing the ring box on the ground and grabbing him by the neck.Nia finally came alive while I was hitting him. She sat up, looking lost. “What—what are you doing, Gael? What—the hell—happened?” She stuttered.My lips shook hard as hot tears stung the back of my eyes. Growling, I threw the man hard against the wall and stomped towards her. Without warning, I slapped her hard across the face.“You bitch! How could you do this to me?! I feel stupid forever thinking you are worthy of my time and heart. How dare you make a

Chapter 77 The next stepNIA’S POV“What the fuck is wrong with you, Ezra? I have been calling for ages, and you haven't answered my calls. There is Nia, too, who wouldn't respond to my texts or calls. She shouldn't have hung up on me when Gemma came to meet her. Is she okay, or must I wear a bloody mourning dress? But before that, you had better barricade that entire pack, or else I will raze it down while I haunt Gemma's fucking ass down!” Perry rambled on in one breath.Ezra slammed his head against the car seat. “You also know about her meeting with Gemma? Trouble has been on the rise since then, Perry.”“What? Where is Nia? Where is she?” She yelled.“She is here. Say something, Nia.” Ezra urged.I couldn't form a sentence. Everything seems to be happening so fast, and my chance of understanding it seems to pass off every second. “I am sorry,” I whispered.Perry scoffed loudly into the receiver. “why are you sorry, baby? Talk to me, Ezra; what's going on?”“Listen carefully, Perr

Chapter 79 No EvidenceAUTHOR’S POVGemma giggled to herself as she made her way into the house. The plan worked beyond her expectations. She didn't think Gael would fall back into her arms so quickly. It goes to show how fickle his love for Nia must have been. She was probably just a new flame that wouldn't have taken long for it to burn out. But then, he had the intention of proposing to her. At first, Gemma had been worried that he might be lenient with Nia when he saw her in bed with Zac because of how crazy in love he seemed to be with her. It made her so happy that Gael was returning to his usual self.All through last night, she couldn't get a wink of sleep due to how excited she was. She would have chosen to wait out her visit to Gael, but then she heard about his furious burning of Nia's greenhouse. That was her cue to strike the rod when it was still very well hot. Humming a tune to herself, she hopped into the house. Gemma halted in her steps abruptly when Ezra stood in her
