"Stop it!" I roared, grabbing Alexis by the shoulder and flinging her away."Urgh" I heard Alexis grunt of pains but I could care less about it.All my attention was fixed on Megan who had fainted from the shock of being near death for the second time.I wondered what would have happened if I had not come on time. But then it seems like I was also late this time too. The first time, I was late and yet I was late this time again.Looking at the unconscious body of Megan lying on the floor, my anger began to grow and I slowly released my aura.What the hell was Alexis thinking? Trying to kill her. Sometimes, I just couldn't understand what was going on in my beta's head as she would sometimes act weird.This time, I was to blame, I hadn't taken good care of Megan even though I knew that she was going to try to escape once she woke up. And since no one knew her she was a threat or an invader.I tried to justify what Alexis did, but no matter how much I tried to justify it, I just couldn'
CHAPTER 7Alexis’s POV. I stood, rooted to a spot, my heart hammering in my chest as disbelief and anger coursed through my veins. This was the first time that Khalid raised his voice at me, and to be honest—it broke me. I have been a loyal member of the pack for years, which led me to becoming the Alpha’s Beta. My dedication never wavered, even in the face of adversity. Yet, there I was, being chastised by the very Alpha I have always looked up to and admired, all because of a girl.Megan!This name alone was enough to ignite a spark of fury within me. I have watched from the shadows as the newcomer managed to capture the heart of the Alpha, even though he didn’t show it. I have been in love with Alpha Khalid for as long as I could remember, and I have always hoped that one day, Khalid would see me as more than just a trusted member of the pack, or his Beta, and that he would come to love me as much as I loved him. But that dream seemed to be slipping through my fingers like g
Chapter 8. Khalid's POVAs I gently laid Megan on the bed, I couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Her beautiful face, which was now pale, depicted pain, I was so pissed with Alexis, but I managed to control myself. “Where was the physician?” I asked myself, as I paced to and fro in the room. The maid I sent to get the Physician hadn’t returned, and I couldn’t help but worry about Megan’s life. I stared deeply into Megan’s face, and breathed sadly. I could only imagine the pain she was going through that moment!Alexis was a very skilled fighter, which was one of the main reasons I made her my Beta. I knew her capability, and that was why I was scared for Megan. The fact she was also an ordinary human added to my worries, as I prayed that she didn’t sustain any injuries. I had never intended to get involved with her, especially with this curse looming over me, but I didn’t understand my feelings anymore. I became confused as to what was happening to me!Not only that, but I have a
CHAPTER 9.Megan’s POV. I thought I was dead because the last thing I remembered was the feeling of drowning, the world slipping away from me. The pain I had felt before I fell unconscious wasn’t left out. But as I opened my eyes, The rays of the moon shone brightly on my face, causing me to blink rapidly. I gasped loudly when I noticed how long I stayed unconscious. I was knocked out in the evening….and it’s late at night now. I had to readjust myself on the bed, and I groaned slightly when I felt pains all over. Then the blurry image of Khalid saving me surfaced in my mind, and a sharp pain accompanied the memory.“Why did he save me?” I rolled my eyes, completely confused by the fact that he saved me. The fact that Khalid saved me was shocking because it was obvious that he hated me, so he could have just let me die peacefully. I breathed deeply and looked around the room, with wonder!I wondered how I managed to get here, and who must have brought me here. My heart beat i
Chapter 10. Khalid’s POV. I sighed deeply as I quickly left my room, and went straight to the room I had laid her earlier, just to meet an empty room. I glanced at the bed, and also met it empty. Not only that, but I quickly turned and ordered the maid to get a guard for me. I was shocked and scared to the extent that I couldn’t move. I froze on my spot, still looking around in shock. “Why did she go?” I couldn’t help but ask myself. I was still lost in thoughts that I didn’t know when the guard suddenly appeared. “Your highness,” He called loudly, and I jolted back to reality, facing him instantly. “You sent for me,” He added, and I nodded quickly. “Get the rest of the guards ready, and find her now!!” I ordered, and he looked at me confusingly. I was so worried about Megan, that I got easily pissed at that moment. “What is it?” I asked the moment I noticed that he still stood there, probably waiting for a more detailed explanation. “What are you waiting for?” I barked a
Chapter 11Khalid’s POV. Before she fainted, I felt something….An overwhelming connection between us during her transformation. I couldn't help but feel the powerful connection between us, like an electric current pulsing through my veins. It was more like a bond between us, and I stared at her in shock. My heart raced as I made the split-second decision to knock out the wolf, which was already berserk. I knew I needed to do it to make her free….Megan was tired, and she fainted due to the pains she went through, so knocking out the wolf was the right thing I needed to do that instant. In a swift move, I landed a firm blow, causing the massive beast to collapse, transforming back into the woman he had just been with moments ago. Megan!As I caught my breath, I began to perceive something!A familiar scent! I looked around desperate to know where the scent was coming from, but to my shock and surprise—it was coming from Megan. The scent of the man I have been searching for all
Chapter 12Aaron’s POV. I sat on a chair all alone in my large office, as my eyes darted to the clock which was hung at the corner of the office. I yawned loudly and suddenly the stone necklace I wore on my neck glowed brightly before it broke into pieces and disappeared from my view, making me gasp in shock. I froze on a spot as I felt my eyes widen.....“There’s no way this could happen!” I clenched my fists tightly as I stared at the spot the pieces fell on the floor, before it disappeared. “Where was she?” “Who did this?” I asked no one in particular. “So the seal has been broken?” I smirked, as I played with my fingers absentmindedly. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that the seal I had put on my adopted daughter had been broken. I had put the seal on her so her real self could be hidden from her, and so she doesn’t find out who exactly she was. Just for the necklace in which I hid the seal to be broken!“So everything I’ve hidden for years—has just been revealed,” I thoug
CHAPTER 13KHALID’S POV. I furrowed my brows as I stared at the Physician. I was obviously confused and surprised by what he said.“How come there are other things I don’t know?” I couldn’t help but ask myself, as I sighed slowly. “Why are you hiding the truth from me in the first place, when you know it’s still related to me,” I said, frowning, and he simply shrugged. “You need not be faster than your shadows, your highness….” He said slyly, as I stared at him intently. He chuckled and continued, “You managed to figure out the most important things yourself….so whenever the time is right, you’ll figure things out yourself,” The was Physician explained, but I was not having it. “What does he mean?” “That I sit quietly and watch things go haywire while I do nothing?” I spat angrily, and he breathed deeply, and began to pack his bags. That was when I paid attention to him and noticed that he was done treating Megan and she slept peacefully.A light smile crept on my face as I s
