KANE’S POVA smirk appeared on Kane’s face as he walked out of the Luna’s office, heading straight to Camilla’s house.His reason for visiting the pack house was simple. He had not forgotten and if anything, he had perfectly carried out his little mission.It was to simply taunt the Luna and nothing but that.He loved seeing her shake in fear. Loved watching her pretend to be strong when in reality, she wa nothing but a weakling. She might have gotten her way a couple of times in the past few weeks but that didn’t change anything and simply intensified his hatred for her.His expression hardened as he walked out of the pack house, remembering how he used to live there. But simply because of the darned Luna and the Alpha, he had lost that right. And he wasn’t going to stop until he made both of them pay for it.He had his entire plan mapped out but before he could make further changes, he needed to see Camila first. That way they could talk and make more joint plans like they had been
Once again, Kane made his way to the pack house with the intention of teasing the Luna.He headed straight to her office, hoping she’d still be there. It was the perfect place to talk to her without any distractions or eyes. As usual, he managed to get there without bumping into the Alpha. Though he wasn’t completely hiding from him, he feared seeing him was going to mess up his plans to see the Luna.In no time, he was in front of her door and without hesitation, he pushed it and immediately stepped in. And luckily for him, just as he hoped, she was still present in the room.“Who is-“Literally immediately, she spun around, her expression changing the second their eyes met. She furrowed her brows in confusion, Kane immediately smiling in return.“It’s me.”“What are you doing here?” She fired immediately. “Why are you here again?”“I told you, didn’t i?” Kane dared to take a step towards her. “I told you I was going to return the moment I remembered what i wanted to tell you. And w
ALISHA’S POVOne thing was now certain.Kane and Camila had began having doubts about me and Lucien’s true identity.It was bound to happen considering how different Lucien and I was. Compared to him, I wasn’t going to keep Camila entertained and I wasn’t going to turn a blind eye to all of Kane’s wrongdoings so it was only natural they suspected something strange going on.But regardless, I didn’t want it to happen. But Kane’s confrontation from the previous day proved that it was indeed finally happening.I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if they both mistakenly found out our true identity. It would be nothing but a calamity. One that was going to befall on the entire pack.Hence, we needed to do something about it. As quick as possible.My first instincts was to talk to Lucien about it for a second, I hesitated. After our heated argument, the two of us were yet to speak to each other and had subconsciously plunged into a Cold War.He was ignoring me and I was doing the same
KANE’S POVBoiling with unbelievable anger, Kane stormed out of the Alpha’s office and didn’t stop until he returned to Camila’s place.He was enraged. He felt useless, insulted, downgraded and couldn’t even put his complete emotions into words.He couldn’t believe his ears. Like a fool, he decided to give the Alpha one more chance to prove him wrong and he just had to confirm his guesses. He was an entirely different person.What was he expecting anyways? Lucien had been hinting at the whole new personality for long enough so was he suddenly expecting him to change and take his side after clearly betraying him?But regardless, he wasn’t expecting him to fall that low. To ask him to go on his knees and apologize to the Luna? That was utterly ridiculous!He could barely calm himself down, his anger boiling and threatening to spill. Disgust flooded his veins. Disgust for no one but Lucien and Alisha.He finally arrived at Camila’s place and immediately kicked the door open. She must hav
ALISHA’S POV“I want to apologize to you, Alisha.”I blinked. And blinked again.Then noticing how taken aback I was, Lucien took a step closer towards me. “I’m sorry, Alisha.”He stretched his arms towards me and took my hands in his, immediately giving it a light squeeze. I almost flinched in response but I remained calm, slowly raising my head to look at him as he apologized.“I’m really sorry, Alisha.”I definitely didn’t see the apology coming. Having spent days without talking to each other, I’d concluded he had allowed his ego get the best of him and he was never going to either speak or apologize to me. But there he was, head hung low, sincerity filled in his voice as he apologized to me.“I shouldn’t have flared up like that,” he continued. “I know you were just looking out for me but I got emotional and messed things up. I’m sorry, Alisha.”A sigh escaped from my lips as I stared at him, taken aback by his sudden gesture. I couldn’t deny though, I felt moved, a part of me
LUCIEN’S POV“What?”Alisha was right. Fate had a wicked way of playing me as just when I was about to get comfortable, something new shook me out of that comfort zone.And out of all the things I expected Alisha to say, suggesting us finding a way to swap our bodies back to normal was the least one I expected.It might have crossed my mind a couple of times but suddenly been faced with the possibility, I realized I wasn’t ready. I wasn’t sure and definitely wasn’t confident enough to have just a huge task on me again.“To swap our bodies?” I uselessly repeated. “Why?”“What do you mean why?” She chuckled as she gestured. “Can we stay like this forever? How much longer do you think we can be like this for? I mean, Camila and Kane already suspect us. How much longer do you think it’s going to take before more people start suspecting us? Don’t you think the best thing for us to do at the moment is to look for a way to return back to our individual selves?”I still wasn’t sure though, he
ALISHA’S POVI wanted blood. And not just any blood. But, the blood of my fated mate, Lucien. I wanted to kill him in the most cruel of ways. To slice his throat clean with a knife or with my sharp claws, even. To watch him bleed until the light in his eyes faded. Until there was nothing left in him. Nothing left to hurt me.Yet, I stalled. For good reason. But, also because of something else. Something deep that connected us both. This damn mate bond I suffered from every day of my existence.My name is Alisha Stone. I'm the Luna of my pack and the fated mate of Lucien Ragnarok, the most unworthy alpha my pack has ever known and the most abominable man I have ever known.Maybe this was my fate. To be cursed to this lifetime stuck with him. But, I would not end in this misery. I was determined to end this. This constant fight within myself and with him. Between the love I hated to admit I had for him and the hate I wanted to have for him couldn't tell which was more than the other.
ALISHA’S POVCalum was burning with rage. I could feel it erupt from him like a volcano, but he managed to turn it into a series of waves coming off of him as he stood, facing my cheating husband.Lucien stared back at him, unashamed that he had just been caught in the act of cheating.I stood straight, holding my chest. Trying to dumb down the pain. It was hard. But, I proved stronger. In a minute, I was standing straight, chin up, facing Lucien too."What's wrong?" Lucien drawled out. He even had the audacity to look puzzled. Like he didn't know why we were staring at him with both a mixture of rage and pain.Calum swallowed hard. I watched his Adam apple bob as he did. Then he answered coolly, the opposite of how he was feeling, I could tell. "We're here to discuss some important matters with you." He looked at Camilla with irritation. "In private."Camilla stood quietly beside Lucien, pretending to be oblivious to what was happening and trying to smoothen her rumpled dress."I wan
