Epilogue. Both men stare at each other for a long time trying to figure out if there was anything that they needed to say but it seemed like everything had already been spoken off. In fact there was only one thing that had been remaining for the both of them to be able to talk about which was the fact that they were going to be a lot of mistakes and corrections that needed to be made if they were going to be truthful to themselves but it's seemed like the more they kept arguing the more things became even harder. For some reason, Aiden had finally decided that he was going to have peace without looking over his shoulders or trying to figure out if anything was wrong with him all along and how far he could take before he finally found a better idea that was not going to make him almost run mad. He had too many people who had a really decided to Wait by him trying to figure out if they could make things better but he had chosen one person. Devin walked out of the gym with his backp

Devin POV As soon as we concluded with those people I was sure that there was nothing else that was left for us to deal with besides just making sure that we just enjoyed the entire process. I had never been given such a genuine check in my entire life and it was cool to see that I did not have anything to worry about anymore. Aiden and I were going to find a way to balance this company and make sure that they don't come between us our relationship. "How we were able to negotiate for certain amount of money is crazyyyy!" I exclaimed as soon as we entered he spent penthouse. There were a whole lot of things that needed to be put into perspective and the fact that he was willing to stick around even though I behaved as if I didn't want him close to me was something that I was never going to forget. In fact I have been very particular about making sure that I am not crossing any major lines. I just wanted to see that everything was completely dealt with and that we did not have too

Devin POV Aiden hated being put on the spot no matter who was involved. In fact it was one of the things that made him even more endearing to me. Nobody was ever going to make him feel like he was trying to get his hands on another person's properties. He was too proud for that. Instead of that he was going to look for a solution that was going to be better for him and anyone involved instead of just fighting for something that he considered trivial. "He's not going to be interested in whatever position you want to give to him and that's one of the reasons I'm comfortable with him being here." I remarked. He wasn't that kind of a person so I was not going to allow anyone try to make him feel less of himself or try to do anything that was going to make me even angry at accepting whatever treatment was about to be thrown at him. I was the one who was concerned with a lot of baggage and I was going to make it as light as possible so that we did not fight over the most stupid thing

Aiden POV As if I knew that this was going to turn into something more of an argument than both of us strength to understand each other I decided to act like a fool so that the both of us did not have any thing to worry about. I was also concerned about the fact that there was going to be a whole lot of listening party is that was not going to make this easy for me For him this was one of those things that he could readily deal with but for me it was something of a vulnerability point of view and I didn't think that I wanted to allow myself to be that lenient with anyone who decided to come in contact with me. I just wanted to become one of those people who did not have anything to worry about and for now it seemed as if there was going to be something difficult for us to handle and I was looking for ways to make sure that I did not remain in that space. The meeting began and even though I didn't think that it was going to yield anything seriously I was pleasantly surprised when

Devin POV "Wait," his commanding voice sent shivers through my spine and I found myself turning instinctively even though I had promised myself that I wanted absolutely nothing to do with this man."I didn't know that you were supposed to meet up with me. Why didn't you use your regular business name and why did you try to change things around? It is almost as if you're just trying to act crazy and I don't think I like it." Aiden responded to me. From what I was hearing right now it was almost as if he knew exactly who I was coming to meet and he was trying to act like he didn't and as much as that would have been romantic to a lot of people it was irritating to me. "I don't think you understand that I'm not in the mood for all of this shenanigans and if you have anything tangible to say you could go ahead and say it instead of trying to beat around the bush and act like everyone here is completely daft. I came here simply because somebody invited me and I have been speaking to thi

Aiden POV I should have realized a long time ago that if there was going to be someone who wanted to bring me out of this dates that I currently was it was only the person who decided that he didn't want anything that was going to stress me out and the only way that I could do that was to focus on him.My delay was the fact that I did not always allow myself to be able to get things to be done at the right time. "You better stop stressing anybody out, and just try to focus on what exactly needed to be done because it was not going to be easy to just sweep under the carpet. If someone is trying to get both of us together then we have to also be very careful so that we don't lose our minds in the process or allow anybody change the trajectory of our growth." I answered. I have been thinking about how long it was going to take to be able to find a better bridge that was not going to stress me out or that was not going to make things even become more harder to get in touch with. Whene

Emily's PovWhen I woke up, everything felt wrong. My body ached, my head pounded, and the weight in my chest pressed harder with each shallow breath. For a moment, I laid there, staring at the ceiling, trying to convince myself that it had all been a nightmare, the office, her, Maxton… none of it was real.But it was real. The sheets next to me were cold. He wasn’t here.I pushed myself up, my limbs heavy as if they were betraying me. I needed to see him, to confront him again. Maybe there was some explanation, anything that could make the reality less unbearable. I stood on shaky legs and walked to our bedroom, clinging to the last fragments of hope that I didn’t want to lose.But then, the door opened, and all hope shattered.They were there, together in our bed, my bed, their bodies entwined, just like in his office. Maxton’s bare back moved in rhythm, and she, whoever she was, threw her head back in a moan, her dark hair cascading like some twisted crown.My breath caught in my

Emily's Pov Three years later. I continued to relentlessly fight the darkness that was taking over my head. The future of my father's hardwork lies in my palm, I cannot afford to disappoint him. The fight for dominance was brutal in my head. Maxton must succumb to my will…At last! I triumphed. I slowly became conscious of my environment, although my vision was still blurry. I sat up, yawning at the same time, and also waiting patiently for my sight to be recovered. My gaze rested on the wall, within a few seconds I was able to get a clear view of the clock on the wall.It was day time already, and it felt like seconds from last night…I moved my finger's to my bird nest of hair and began scratching it, trying to force out memories from last night. Immediately I was able to recall I turned to my side."Maxton you_" I was silenced by his disappearance. When did he get up from the bed? I highlighted from the bed and strolled down to the kitchen. To my surprise the food I had prepare

Emily's PovMy eyes were affixed on the television set in front of me, I was unconscious of my environment, my body was present but my soul had traveled far away from this planet, into a world of endless questions and thoughts.A sharp sound slipped suddenly into my ear making my heart skip, I turned to the direction of the sound. Lo and behold it was my father. He was dressed in a royal blue suit, lined with royalty, his hands were tucked into his trouser's pocket. My gaze traveled from his body down to the shopping bag on the floor.When did he step in? I must have been so intrigued by my own thoughts that my brain couldn't pick up the sound around me. "When did you step in?" I asked, adjusting the pajamas I was putting on.He took a deep breath and walked briskly to where I sat, and retired next to me. "You have been ignoring my calls," He responded, his eyes boring into mine.I smacked my lips and turned my gaze away from his. If it was possible I would bury him six feet beneath w

Micheal's PovI couldn't believe I married a child in an adult's body. It's really insulting. I'll be the heir soon and this childish lady is all I get? I just couldn't stand the fact that marriage has to be a criteria to be the heir of my father's empire."Aren't we supposed to be in the bedroom together?" Her voice interrupted my thoughts and that pissed me off even more. It was practically like I was thrown into hell and not a honeymoon. I wasn't feeling anything, I was numb and void of love towards her. At the altar, earlier, I just had to keep the role of a good son and marry the person I don't even know just to become the heir. I smiled, because I knew too well I'll be given that position over anyone else. Father has promised I only have to marry her, just for the world to know that I got married. "No, I will be sleeping on the couch in the sitting room. I've got a long day tomorrow, and the best thing you could do for me right now is to leave me alone and go to sleep." I pour

Emily's PovThe nice scents of the flowers that surrounded me, and the beautiful sight of the hall coupled with wonderful people. Gracious sights, dropping fountains in the middle of the room, the chandeliers were giving. I watched how the whole room was dignified with love and excitement, there, my friend, Sarah was with me. Smiling and giggling. "You're getting married, beautiful." Her eyes spoke excitement and her smile, I couldn't help but be grateful for having a good friend like her. "Thank you, Sarah." I hugged her after dressing me up, looked straight at the mirror and felt at ease."I should go call your mum?" She said cutting away from the hug,"And, that'll be for what?""To rate your dress up. You know I love compliments.""Well, don't you think the compliments should come from me?" "That's right, but your mum, she definitely knows how to give compliments better than you," I nodded and smiled."......a few minutes please." She dropped her small mirror and dashed out

ADRIAN I couldn't sleep that night. I kept pacing. Luckily, Eli was off partying somewhere, so he wasn't there to witness my turmoil.Every time I closed my eyes, I swear I could see him and hear him in my head. My wolf prowled inside me, restless, angry that I’d let Lucas walk away. The bond had sunk its claws in, and I was losing my grip on control.By morning, I looked like hell.“Rough night?” Eli asked as I took the seat he had reserved for me at breakfast.“Yeah. You can say that,” I said, moving my food about on my plate.“Too much birthday champagne?”“Something like that.”I wasn’t about to tell him the truth—that my sworn rival, Lucas Rayne ne, was my fated mate. The idea was ridiculous, even to me. My parents would lose their minds. The pack would see me as weak, maybe even unfit to lead. And Lucas? He’d probably rather rip his own throat out than claim me.“Hey,” Eli said, snapping his fingers in front of me. “You good? You’re zoning out.”“Yeah. Just tired.”He

ADRIAN The birthday party ended yesterday, but Lucas had asked to see me today after dinner. Now here I was on my way to the stairway, because it would be emptied out.It was past 10pm now, so everyone would either be in bed or at the parties that are held every night around here, so there was no chance that someone would overhear our conversation.Before I got down to the stairway, I could already see Lucas down there pacing. He looked battered, and even if it was hard for me to accept it, it was not troubling me as much as it was him.“Adrian, please tell me the truth. You were trying to mess with me so that I'll stay away from you. It's fine. I'm pissed now and I'll stay away from you, so stop this. Please.” The pleading tone in his voice broke me a little, but I couldn't change a thing.“You know I'm not messing with you. You felt it too.” I didn't even know how to explain it anymore at this point.He paused for a moment, then scoffed out a laugh. “No. No way

ADRIAN I hated birthdays.Every year since I could remember, my family threw a ridiculous celebration to remind me I was the heir to the Nightfang Pack. This year, though, it felt different—heavier. Eighteen. The age wolves came of age, the age you could feel the bond if your mate was near.With all this, I was supposed to feel a bit excited, but as I adjusted the collar of my dress shirt, I felt nothing but absolute dread.Maybe because I knew that I was on a fraying thread now. My father knew of some others who met their mates before eighteen, and he's been putting pressure on me ever since. Now that I'm eighteen, I should find one today, but what if I don't?I mean, that was the only reason my dad was throwing a big party and inviting every werewolf's kids and grandkids.If this wasn't a load of pressure, then I have no idea what is. In fact, I don't think there's any amount of pressure higher than this.“Looking good, Alpha,” Eli teased from the doorway.

ADRIAN The cafeteria smelled of coffee and super greasy foods. The smell made me feel nauseous, but I grabbed a tray anyway. I picked some bacon, eggs and toast, because not eating made my wolf super cranky.“Hey, I saved you a seat.” Eli called me over to a corner table.I was walking there when Eli placed his laptop on the table. He always had his laptop with him.“Morning, Alpha Heir,” he teased as I took a seat.“Shut up,man. It's not funny anymore.” I huffed as I sat down.He laughed loudly. “Relax, Kane. You’ve been wound tight since yesterday. What happened? Lucas, look at you funny again?”“I don’t get why he’s here, Eli. The Rayne heir doesn’t just… show up at a rival pack’s college for fun. He’s planning something.” I said and shoved eggs into my mouth.Eli arched a brow. “Or he’s just here for an education like everyone else.”I snorted. “Right. Lucas Rayne in an ethics class. That’s very believable.”Eli was smiling but the smile quickly f

ADRIAN“Adrian, hey.” A girl called as she ran after me. “Hey.” I smiled, turning to face her.Her face looked a bit familiar and I was wondering where I had met her before.She wasn't a wolf though. I could tell that by her scent. But if she wasn't a wolf, what would she want from me?“I'm Chloe. We met at the football game.” She smiled at me as she played with her hair.“Oh Chloe.” I grinned. “Hi. It's nice to see you around.”Did I remember who she was? No.Was I going to let her know that?Definitely not.I saw a lot of ladies everyday. I'm sure no one expected me to keep a track of them, right?“Im hosting a party at my place tonight. Would you like to come?” She leaned in closer, closing the space between the both of us.“Shit.” I took two steps back and ran a hand through my hair. “I'm pretty busy tonight, I'm not so sure I'll be able to make it.”“Oh.” Her face fell. “Okay. That's fine. I'll see you around school though, right?”“Yeah of course.” I nodde
