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 Mom and Dad brought you to this house, I knew that you would be a problem for me. You stood in my way a lot. You took whatever did not belong to you. You even took Jonathan!" she shouted, her face reddened with anger.
"Jonathan? I gave her a confused frown.
"This Jonathan?"I asked pointing to the man who had rounded the corner to stand behind her rubbing her shoulders to calm her.
She laughed bitterly.
"Yes, this Jonathan. I met him before you. We were having mindblowing sex before you showed up. My parents didn't want to spend any money on your graduate school tuition so they had decided to sell you off to the highest bidder." she exposed.
My mouth stood agape at the brute force of the realization of the words that she was saying.
"That's not true" I refuted.
"Don't be so stupid. Whether you believed it or not, it happened. I just didn't tell my parents about our affair so we kept seeing each other even after you entered the picture. But as the wedding grew closer I began to realize that enough was enough, I needed you out of my life and since we both had the same goal, we ran it all up." she confessed.
"It's nothing personal honey," Jonathan said from behind her coldly.
"Yeah, he needed someone out of the way and I needed you out of my way so it was a win-win situation" she exposed.
"That's why you recorded the whole thing. You planned it all, the text, the one who pushed me into the room was..."I muttered to myself staring back at her smiling face.
"It wasn't me. But it was someone working for Jonathan there. While you were getting your brains fucked out, I was out in his house making love while we watched you both getting fucked." she said.
I cringed at the profane word that had escaped her lips.
"I wasn't in my right mind..."I whispered.
"Yeah, I figured you wouldn't have sex with anyone no matter how hot he was. After all, you've stayed a virgin for the whole of your miserable 23 years of life. So we added a little something to the diffuser in the room. It intoxicated whoever inhaled it and we just left you guys locked to see how it would pan out. It was a really good thing that your brother fell for it. After all, you are both hot-blooded animals ." she chuckled.
"Why?"I asked.
"Because I hate you. I've always hated you," she confessed.
"But I never did anything wrong to you" I cried.
"You didn't have to. I couldn't stand breathing the same air with you" she responded with cold eyes staring back at me. She was unrepentant.
"Now what are we going to do with you?" she tapped her chin with one finger, her lips pursed in thought.
"What do we do with her?" she asked.
His eyes were still trained on me.
"You already know the answer to that babe" his face hardened.
Her eyes widened in horror.
"We can't just kill her," she said.
I gasped.
"She knows too much."He replied.
"But..."Maeve started.
"Don't worry, I'll handle everything," he told her.
Her eyes widened in horror, as he sped straight for me. Hitting my back against the wall, he held my neck tightly. My eyes rolled back as I felt my room spin from the lack of oxygen.
"Please," I said breathlessly as I grappled to bring his hands off my neck.
I scratched his face to get air. His hand tightened around my neck and squeezed. I felt my body giving out, and I felt lightheaded as I gasped for air.
"Please" I pleaded.
"Stop! Stop it, Jonathan! You'll kill her!"Maeve cried.
She pulled at his shoulder as I tried to push him away.
"Please," I said as the stars swarm around in my eyes.
As I felt the darkness suck me in, he pulled his hand apart. Falling to the ground on my hands and knees, I busted out into a fit of coughs as my lungs burned with the sharp intake of oxygen.
"Why would you do that? this wasn't part of the plan!"Maeve screamed.
"That's why we have to take care of it" he responded.
"I don't want any blood on my hands. We were supposed to do this without any bloodshed" she cried.
"Honey, where there is war there will always be bloodshed."He responded gripping her arms tightly.
She pulled out of his grip.
"This isn't a war, Jonathan. This is just killing an innocent person. I know I hate her but not like this. I do not want her blood on my hands." she said eyeing me now.
There was a long pause before he looked straight at me, walking the two steps towards me I scrambled backward away from his next attack.
He pulled me up by the grip on my collar.
"You should be grateful that Maeve saved you." he began.
"I do not want to see you anywhere near this house or this family ever again. Now go before I change my mind" he finished.
"Go now!"Maeve screamed.
I ran out the door, running as fast as my legs could carry me. I sped across the driveway away from the life I had always known. I ran without any destination in mind. But I kept running. Not knowing where I would end up.
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
MANUEL'S POVI was looking forward to having a good day today only to be greeted by bickering as I walked past the hallway to my office. The door to my new personal assistant named Miss Samantha's office had been slightly ajar.I couldn't help but walk through to avoid any sort of danger only to find Samantha and Maeve in a very heated conversation.I frowned."Who had let Mave in?"I thought. I made a mental note to inform all my staff about her unannounced visits."What are you doing here?"I turned to Maeve."Baby, Your new employee here and I were just having a simple chat. "she chuckled stretching out a hand to pat Samantha's shoulder.I haven't known Samantha for that long but it was very evident that she was very uncomfortable. From the way she clasped and unclasped her fists at her sides, to the way her eyes pooled with tears threatening to fall. I knew that Maeve must have said something like she always does."Maeve, I need to talk to you, "I told her before walking out signal
SAMANTHA'S POVAs I calmed my nerves down, my mind recalled the last few minutes of this morning .Did he remember something?was that why he asked me that question? What was I going to do if he remembered?I had tried to see the extent of his memory but it seemed that that night had been completely erased from his mind. How the hell was that possible?It didn't make any sense.The rest of the day blurred by as I tried to forget everything about that night like I always did. I was still at my desk working to finish up the rest of the work I had to do. Sometime that day I called the nanny to babysit the kids for me because I knew the work I was doing was surely going to run late.I was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was a slow rasp then progressed into an impatient knock."Come in "I called out.In slipped, Olivia.The boss's assistant. My brow arched as I watched her tiptoe to get to me almost like she was a thief in the night I couldn't hide the smile that appeared on my lips.
