MANUEL'S POV
Throughout last night, my thoughts had been filled with her. From my waking thoughts to my dreams, her soft moans, her beautiful hair, the way her body fit so perfectly with mine. I buried myself into work, it was all I could do to not go insane from thoughts of her.We had issues regarding the pack's security system and who better than to reach out to the pack's leading man in all things hacking, which was Micheal?He didn't hold a very high position in the pack but he was one loyal friend I could turn to whenever the situation got this bad.Glancing back at the stack of unopened folder files detailing the rivalry and the issues caused by the opposing pack, the Bloodhound pack, I let out a sigh as I signed off on it. Delegating the matter to the head of command, Jonathan. We were not close but we had a good working relationship.After much deliberation, I decided to go over to see Micheal. We had discussed matters over the phone but had been keen to leave vital details in case there was a wiretap anywhere. Assuming the mysterious blackmail text and video had come from within the pack.I arrived at Michael's house just in time to see his guard pacing back and forth at the entrance. He stood rigid as he sighted me."Is something the matter?"I asked.He shook his head vehemently giving me a wan smile. He was aged but still had the features that made him intimidating. Had I been a mere pup I would have cowered at his demeanor. He gave way for me to go on ahead."He's been expecting you "he responded.I nodded.Proceeding forward, I stopped to place my palm on the finger recognition system he had installed a few years back."Retina scan required, "the automated voice said.I turned to see the guard shrug his shoulders.Shaking my head in disbelief, I moved my face closer for the scan."Is it just me or is he just becoming more paranoid by the day? "I told myself."He's just making sure there are no extra intruders," the guard said with a smile."Finally!"I exclaimed as the glass doors slid open signaling me to go in. With a nod in the guard's direction, I walked into the house.Micheal was standing in his kitchen cooking something as I walked into the room. He was so engrossed in cooking that he jumped when he took notice of my presence."Manuel! You scared the crap out of me. Let me just finish this up and we can talk while having something to eat"He said.I nodded, heading to the couch I plopped down on to wait.After a few minutes, he came rushing in carrying two plates of food enticingly decorated and knowing him, it would taste as good as it looked and smelt.We devoured the food in silence reveling in the tastes that exploded in our mouths but once the meal was done it was time for business."Have you discovered who sent the video?" I asked.Micheal was nestled on the couch now, his eyes were glued to the screen as he typed away on the keyboard so fast I thought the keys would give out."Not yet.Am still working on it."He responded, his attention was still on the screen."But I did find out something" he added.Intrigued now, I sat up to listen.He turned the screen of his laptop to me.I frowned in annoyance."If you wanted to tease me about my sex video you would have done that over the phone, "I said wryly."Look closely "he instructed.I grimaced at the serious expression in his eyes but I did as he said. Looking closely I noticed the color of the room changed, almost like the atmosphere was changing. The dimly lit red room turned into a lighter shade of red with each passing minute."Yes, the color of the room is..."I tried to make sense of it all."Yes, your hunch is correct. There was something in the air that night. But only in that particular room" Micheal said, turning the laptop back to him."I don't follow" I responded."Well, I cross-referenced the video with a UV ray filter, and here's what I found"his fingers worked fast.he turned the screen back to me and in the shades of yellow and blue, I saw the room enveloped in a cloud of grey smoke that filled the whole room.my eyes widened."What the heck is this? I asked in disbelief."That, my friend is medetomidine gas" he replied."What?"I frowned."Fatal to humans, but not to werewolves. But its side effects are fatal. It makes you lose all your initial inhibitions making you susceptible to anything that pops up in your mind at that instant. And since what we have as werewolves are primal, it's either to kill or mate, and your wolf must have been so overwhelmed it couldn't resist the urge to mate with this man" He explained.It all made sense now. My lack of self-control, my burning desire to get her in my bed, the way I had taken her so roughly thinking back now, the images became clearer. She had been a virgin and I had pounded into her like an animal. So that means that..."Wait, does that mean we were both victims of this gas?"I asked."It seems highly likely. It's possible that the woman in the video didn't know what she getting into as well. Almost like a set-up? "he confirmed."Who would do such a thing?!"I shouted."You must have both breathed in the gas and that must have sent your sense of self-judgment thrown out of the window. "He continued trying to calm me down.I sat back down."How did you end up in that room In the first place?I narrated everything to him and he listened through it all nodding his head all the way.After I was finished, he pulled open his laptop, typed in something, and e turned the laptop to me again."Is this the woman you saw that nig ht?" he asked.I frowned."No, I am not" I responded.His lips pursed in thought."That's the owner of the brothel. And if it isn't her then..." he began."The question is who the hell was the woman I met at the bar that night and who is she working for?"I thought aloud.SAMANTHA'S POVSitting on the porch of my so-called parents' house, I recalled the revelation that had shattered my entire world.***FLASHBACK***"What did she do?"Gamma Jonathan had asked with a confused frown but once he had seen the video which I didn't know existed, he had looked at me with such disdain and disgust that the hair at the back of my nape stood on edge."please Jonathan I can explain. I was..." I began but was interrupted when I was sent toppling back onto the couch I had woken up from."How dare you refer to him by his name. Have you no respect coupled with the fact that you have loose morals?"My father said "Dad!"I shot up from the couch to stand in front of him. My eyes watered at the thought that they would think of me that way."Don't you dare call me that? You lost that right when you decided to forgo your family's reputation as well as your fiance's repute. For goodness sake, he is a general. Do you know what this video could do to his reputation? "
SAMANTHA'S POV"Let me go!"I screamed as he pulled me into the kitchen. Locking the door behind him. Maeve's eyes widened in surprise."What the hell is she doing here?" she asked."I found her lurking around at the back of the house" he responded."Why can't you be gone and out of our lives?" She said through gritted teeth."I know what you've done," I told her.She smiled sincerely."Oh, do you know? It's about time. I thought you would be dense and stupid forever" she mocked."How could you do this to your sister? loved you. I cared for you. I..."I cried."Point of correction, you are not my sister. You never were and never will be.No matter how perfect you may seem or act, I knew that deep down you were always a whore." she said."What did I ever do to deserve this? I was good to you" I told her, my voice shaky with tears.She rolled her eyes."You can't be serious" she replied wryly."Your mere existence brought me pain and misery every single day of our lives. From the moment Mo
MANUEL'S POVAfter I had left Micheal's house, all the tumultuous questions nagged at me and I knew I had to get to the bottom of this and fast. So I did what someone of my caliber and power could do. I resorted to using my contacts to track down the woman at the bar and the real owner of the bar and since there was still the danger of getting discovered by the mole, I entrusted the information to my most trusted me. Of course, that was after running good background checks on every one of them as well as their current life interactions outside of the pack.Micheal had also been a very big added help to finding the woman and that alone had shortened the search to two days later. Which brought us back to this very moment.Here I was seated at my desk in my office looking through the contents of the report that had been complied.The name "Callista Were" didn't ring all bells. I had never heard of a name like that but according to her file, she was born and raised in a faraway pack and
MAEVE'S POVEver since I was a little girl I had always felt that I was never good enough. Especially being the older sister, all my parent's attention had been on me but I always found a way to disappoint them while my younger sister strived to be better at everything she did. She was a high achiever in academics, life, and love. Almost every guy I had liked or dated had ended up trying to get closer to her instead.So when Jonathan approached me I had been overjoyed but quickly it had been snatched away when an alliance was made between him and my sister. That tipped over the iceberg that had frozen my heart. Angered now, I knew, I had made a decision.But Jonathan had still been meeting up with me secretly. We would rendezvous at a hotel or his house to satisfy each other's needs. I craved his love and attention and he craved my body. I knew
MANUEL'S POVI watched as her facial expression changed as she narrated what had transpired between my Gamma and her. Of course, I had no way of confirming if it was true or not."He threatened me. He told me that if I didn't do as he said, he was going to punish my family. I had no other choice Alpha Manuel but to do as he instructed me to. So I went along with his plan. Please donot
SAMANTHA'S POV5 years went by and I never saw the man I had slept with that night again. Even when I tried calling him to tell him the news, I was disconnected soon after. I found out in the news that he had begun dating Maeve and that he was planning to make her his Luna. That had hurt me a lot more than I thought it did. I hadn't tried contacting my family since that day either .They had cut off all means of communication to me.
MANUEL'SPOVI watched as the beautiful brunette walked in looking around wistfully and in awe, I couldn't hide the smile that had appeared on my face. However, I had to be poised and collected throughout this interview. Somehow, I felt this sense that I had seen her before. But I wasn't able to recollect where I had seen her or when."Is something wrong?"I had asked when she gasped in surprise.She paused for a while, before recomposing herself."No sir.Am sorry about my...outburst.I'm still excited about the interview" she said."So why do you think you're a good fit for my company?"I asked the most basic question I had asked all day."I think I would be a good fit for your company because I am hardworking, I can endure copious a
SAMANTHA'S POV"What the hell is your problem?! you're such a shitty driver!"Rick screamed at the passing car that had almost run us over."It's okay. Rick" I tried to calm him down."It is not okay. That reckless driver would have almost killed us had it not been for my lightning reflexes "he said annoyed.I couldn't hide the laughter that had slipped out of my mouth."What?" he turned to face me, staring back at me like I had a mental issue."It's all right. You just have to chill. We're okay" I told him.Letting out a deep breath, he calmed down.Turning to me now, he gripped my hand excitedly."So you were telling me
