DEMONTES' POVFreya led me out of the room and down the hallway and as we walked, neither of us said a word to each other. I knew what was coming next however. I knew she was going to make a comment on what we had just done and I barely waited to hear it out.When she stopped abruptly and turned to smile at me in the middle of the dimly lit hallway, I knew what it was about. Had I been so good that she couldn't just stop talking about it for a minute?"I know you're thinking I want to praise you for your dexterity in bed," Freya started.My lips pursed into a smile. So it was not about the mind boggling sex after all. "And what is it about this time?" I smiled."I faked that orgasm, Demontes." Freya winked at me and continued walking down the hallway and I chuckled.Women! Even in a thousand years, she would not agree to the fact that I had given her the best night of her life.We finally stopped at the familiar entrance to the dungeons and I frowned. Where the hell was she taking me

SALVADOR'S POVI wanted to tear him apart at once. My claws longed to slice his throat apart and rip his flesh, but I knew I had to be calm. If the council of Elders heard about another murder, I was going to be in a lot of trouble.I heaved a deep sigh and turned to face Martinez who was still waiting for my orders. His face was red with anger and his fists were balled. I guessed he was just waiting for me to give the order to tear Hermes apart. I wasn't going to do that however. If I allowed my anger get in the way one more time, things were going to take a disastrous turn for me. Alpha Demontes would surely use that to his advantage."You can leave us now," I said to him. "I would face the boy alone.""But Alpha - " Martinez started."I said leave us," I growled cutting him short.Martinez cast a quick glance at Hermes before bowing to me and walking away. He was angry but my orders were final. Hermes on the other hand didn't seem to be pissed about the fact that I had referred to

ANTONELLA'S POVThe food tasted like shit. I had no choice however. I was starving and with very little options. I had to eat else I would die.Hermes stared at me as I guided the watery oats into my mouth with my bare hands. He must have been surprised at how I rushed the food but I didn't care. I was damn hungry and I needed to satisfy myself.In less than two minutes, I was done eating and I stared at the empty plate before me. It was clean, like it had been washed already and as tasteless as the food was, I still wished I had more to eat. That was how hungry I was."You okay?" Hermes asked."Much better now," I muttered.He gave me his gourd of water as I had finished mine already and I downed it In three gulps. "Thank you very much," I smiled at him.I felt renewed now, and my brain worked clearly. And that was when I started to suspect. Why was he being so nice to me when we barely knew each other? What if it was just a trap to get me talking? To get me closer to him before he

SALVADOR'S POV I was not surprised when he eventually said it. That was infact what I had been expecting from him. Hermes was very crafty and I was just about to find out how crafty he could get."I want one thing in return," Hermes had smiled.I cleared my throat and waited for him to say it."Antonella," he added. "Let me leave with her and I promise your dirty little secret dies with me, Sal."I frowned. Sal? He had given me a nickname already. The boy was damn annoying. "I can easily tell my guards to gut you and that way I get to keep both Antonella and my secret," I retorted. "Why would I decide to give her to you?"Hermes assessed me for a whole minute and he smiled. "I know you very well," Hermes started. "Infact, even better than you know yourself. And as the son of Alpha Michael that you are, I know that you would not kill an innocent man."Hermes smiled as soon as he was done speakings and it was then that I realized how smart the man sitting in front of me was. I had un

ANTONELLA'S POVMy eyes watered as I thought about how stupid I had been. How could I have trusted someone I had been with for only five days. Hermes had put me into more trouble with the Alpha and now, he was never going to believe me again. Surely, I would rot in the jail all my life. He would think I was evil, just like my parents.My tears wet my gown but I didn't mind. My life had gone from good to bad and from bad to worse in just a few days and Hermes was all to blame.As I pondered over the events, the door to the prison was opened. I stood up at once, hoping it was Alpha Xavier. I had to try my best to explain myself to him. Hopefully, he would believe me and let me go. I was shocked when I stood up and saw the bastard smiling at me. Hermes! I cried in anger and rushed at him at once and he didn't even flinch or shift back."You animal!" I cried hitting him across the chest. "I hate you so much. You tricked me.""Tricked you?" He chuckled. "Far from it. I think I presented y
