I was walking round the pack one day when I thought I heard my name mentioned. I hated to eavesdrop but felt that it was important for to know what was being said about me. So, I hid behind a house, close to the speakers.It was the Beta and one other warrior. 'I feel for Millicent. She has suffered alot and now, the Alpha is using her while pretending to care for her', Beta Daniel said. He was the Beta I had danced with at Sylvester's and Cathania's engagement party.'But he might just end up really caring for her', the warrior said, smiling. 'It has been known to happen that while pretending to care, one actually starts caring!''I doubt Alpha Sylvester will ever care for Millicent', Beta Daniel continued. 'He is just using her to secure his throne as Alpha'.'How so?' the warrior asked bemused. 'Is he at risk of losing his throne?'' Do not tell me you did not know the outcome of the meeting held after the engagement party between Alpha Sylvester and Cathania', Beta Daniel continu

Millicent's POV I heaved a sigh of relief as soon as I heard the door shut behind him and his footsteps descend the stairs.As much as I was furious that Alpha Sylvester had lied to me and was using me, I still could not stop thinking about what he had said about my parents or someone killing his parents. Was he using that as justification for his evil deeds? My parents if they were the people he was referring to could not have killed anyone without cause and definitely not a fellow Alpha and his Luna. My father was a kind man and not a murderer. So it could not possibly be my father Sylvester was referring to. With that, I wiped that off my mind and focused on how I was going to teach Sylvester to deceive me.I was still contemplating, when there was some noise outside. It was not my business, so I decided to continue to indulge in my thoughts. But the noise became much and I felt a nudge to go out and find out what the ruckus was all about.I stepped out of my room and found that t

Sylvester's POV'She is my mate!' Christopher hissed at me, as soon as we were behind closed doors. 'How could you introduce her as your mate?'I had known that such was the case when I saw the way he was looking at Millicent at the reception hall. And the bitch had also been staring at him as though she were on heat. This was someone who was going to be my Luna. Shameless!'Why are you angry?' my wolf asked. 'You don't really want her, do you?''Oh shut up!' I screamed at him. 'Not now!''Christopher, how can she be your mate when she is mine?' I asked in a gentle voice, trying to reason with him. Even she can attest to it, that as she came into her wolf on her eighteenth birthday, that fact was revealed to her.' Christopher was welcome to her but only after I had used her to secure my position.'Is it possible then that we are both mated to the same person?' Christopher asked, bemused.'I have not known such a thing to happen but it might be possible', I conceded.'We should find ou

Millicent's POVI was walking the grounds one day, appreciating nature and trying to forget the thoughts that were haunting me when I heard a voice behind me.'Hello, beauty'.The sound of the voice sent shivers down my spine. Not apprehensive shivers but sensual shivers. The voice was a rich baritone. I swung round, though I already knew who the voice belonged to. Only one person could get me to react that way, Christopher! The male who has refused to leave my head and had engrained himself in my thoughts.'Oh, it's you', I said, flustered. I could not afford to keep reacting like a bitch on heat to him. He was the same as his twin brother. I had to be careful. 'My name is Millicent, not Beauty!' I snapped because I didn't want him to know the effect he was having on me.'I know, Millicent', he said smiling charmingly. His smile caused butterflies to flutter in my stomach. It is a cliche but it was true, that was exactly how I felt. 'but I meant it as a compliment. You are beautiful.

Sylvester's POVI could not understand what was happening to me. Since Christopher came home, I have started feeling funny towards Millicent. I no longer feel so angry towards her. It is true that I have wanted her for a long time now but that was just lust. Right now, it was no longer a case of just lust, it seemed that I had started liking her. But I will have none of that. Anyone is welcomed to her as long as I can use her for my own ends.'Why are you restless then?' Ezra asked. 'Christopher will win her and you will lose!'I was not in the mood to argue with Ezra, so I just paced my room, thinking about the dilemma facing me when a movement down my window drew my attention. I went to the window to check it out and found Christopher with Millicent. They seemed to be discussing. Then Christopher tipped her face up. I felt funny. Apart from that time during my engagement party to Cathania, when Daniel had been dancing with Millicent, I have never felt this funny feeling. I hated the
