Selena's POVFor more than thirty minutes, I was staring into space, thinking about the news Elena had brought to me. As much as I didn't want to believe what she had said to me, I couldn't help but to believe it all. Elena was trustworthy, she has been in this game with me and I don't think she would cook up stories for me. She knew the repercussions of such actions and so she wouldn't dare. Digging my hands into my hair for the hundredth time, I tugged on it for a while, shutting my eyes tightly as different thoughts spiraled through my head at the same time. At this point, my head began to ache but their was nothing I could about it, other than to wince in pains..Right now, I was already plotting my next move but it seems there was no way I could launch them since I had been restricted from the palace. Once again, my hands were tied securely behind my back but that wasn't going to make me flop in my plans. I'm going to ensure that everything come out as planned.Like father al

Alpha Jasper's POVAfter a long moment of comfortable silence between us, I pulled myself up and with my gaze fixed on Anna who was lying beside me half asleep, my lips broke into a smile and I leaned in, placing a swift kiss on her forehead. “Rest well, you're tired.” I mused, rubbing my nose against her chin while she allowed her eyes to flicker open. Pressing her lips together, she sat up with a little sigh. The tiredness on her face couldn't go unnoticed and so I held her hand, helping her lie back on the bed. “You need to rest, what do you want? I will ask the maids to get everything you need within your reach, just let me know.” “Nothing.” She replied. Now staring back at me, she allowed her hand to wander towards my face and then she pulled me to herself with a little smile etched on her lips. “Are you heading out?” “Yeah… I have…” “But… you need to rest too.” She muttered. Pulling away from her, I gave her hand a soft squeeze and with a little smile playing on my lips,

Anna's POV After getting enough rest just like Alpha Jasper had asked me to, I woke up yawning widely and I swung my feet off the bed. To think that I was tired after sleeping for more than three hours was something I couldn't shake off just like that. Still yawning, I climbed off the bed and then began to grope my way towards the bathroom to clean my face. On my return, as if on a cue, the door flung open and Lillian peeped in. The moment our eyes connected, she rushed towards me and then jumped into my arms, shrieking with delight. “I have missed you so much.” She cried on my shoulder, hugging me like her life depended on it. “Me too.” I replied with a bright smile etched on my lips. I really meant my words. Staying apart from her for a month made me realize how much effect she had on me. It would be fair to say that after Maya, she was my second best friend. When she finally pulled away, I led her towards the bed and both of us sat down, holding our hands as we stared at ea

Alpha Jasper's POVThe meeting with the council of elders was of the most tiring duty as the Alpha of the Moonlight Pack. These elders would stop at nothing until they drove one crazy with their words, repeated suggestions and their unending reports. After leaving the dungeon earlier without getting the answers to my question, though I still had this strong belief that those rogues were sent, I made my way to the courtroom, a thousand and one ideas swirling through my head all at once. Suddenly, a smile crept to my lips as I remembered my make out session with Anna last night and this morning.No doubt, she was carrying my seed in her womb already. It was just a matter of time before it showed and then it would be the end of the surrogacy request. Smacking my lips, I pushed my hand into my pockets as I walked through the door and the murmuring of the elders ceased. Titling my head to the side, I walked further into the courtroom and they all rose as an act of reverence. When I w

Selena's POVLying on my back, my door creaked open. Since my father wasn't around, I knew it was Elena so I didn't act like she had walked in, I continued staring at the ceiling with my lips caged in my lips. When the news of Alice’s death got to me, I was glad because the job had been done but when I heard that she was stabbed, my happy countenance disappeared. This was one of the reasons why I prefer running my stuff myself without involving a third party. When Alice threatened to reveal everything we had done to Alpha Jasper and then beg her daughter for forgiveness, I was furious.Despite my pleas, she kept acting dogmatically so I had to involve her husband was ever ready to do a job provided money was attached to it. “My lady, Maya from the palace is here to see you,” Elena said with her head bowed to the ground, and at once I sprang up, a coy smile playing on my lips. This was a pleasant surprise to me. Maya was my last card so I was already plotting ways on how to mani
