Swara’s POV“How did your meeting with Olivia go?”“And who told you about Olivia?”“Your two jolly Betas won’t some burning my ears with stories of her. She seems to adore you seeing how long you spent with her.”“Who wouldn’t adore me?”“That would be me. Until I saw how you saved my life tonight.”“I simply did my duty. But why would your father want to hurt you?”“I’m not his biological daughter. Mother cheated on me and even in her grave, he still holds it against her.”“I’m sorry about that. You must have had it rough with him.”I was surprised to hear the Almighty Alpha telling me sorry.He was ruthless back then – issuing commands and up till now, wearing a frown.“I did everything to make my father proud of me. But I couldn’t measure up. Ever felt that way?”“My father killed my beloved. So I can relate. Even the woman I chose back then was not good enough for him.”“Oh my! Why would he kill her?”“Story for another. Have you any mate?”The question came unexpectedly to me.“
Alpha Bram’s POVIt was my wedding night. I was supposed to be happy but I wasn’t.I had always imagined spending my life with Swara.Not her evil twin sister.I was unhappy with how my life was turning out.Soon I had to see a therapist or I’d live a shadow of myself.“What are you thinking about, my love?”Saloni had come to join me on the bed.If only she knew how disgusted I felt towards her.Funny how before marriage, I couldn't bear the thought of sleeping with her.But now she was repulsive to me.I couldn’t believe I had the erection to cheat on Swara with her.“I’m so happy our dream wedding came true.” Saloni blushed as she wrapped her arms around him.“True,” I responded dryly.It was then she looked up at me.“Something must be bothering you. Why do you look so gloomy?”I wasn’t ready for her suspicious eyes. So I decided to act excited.“It’s just the fatigue from the wedding, my love. Come here and kiss me.” I emphatically placed my hands on her lips.She took my offer a
Swara’s POV It’s hard to admit. Alpha Reon and I got along so well. He treated me better than a wife. I guess he was trying to make me trust him. I had my reservations. But I showed my appreciation. “I wish I could find my biological father. I guess Alpha Miles wasn’t lying about that part.” I was munching on some snacks that lay at the centre of the dining table. Alpha Reon spoilt me rotten with a variety of meals and snacks. “Did he leave you his contact information?” Reon was concerned for me. “He mentioned he’d send me an email once I reached the airport. He lied.” “Now that he wants you dead, you dare not ask him.” “Do you think you could travel home and find out details for me?!” My eyes lit up. I asked as soon as the idea dropped in my head. “Out of the blues, you need me to do a second favour?” “Favours don’t come easy. I promise to do anything you ask me except marry you.” “I already told you I won’t ask you for now. Why do you dread marriage so much?” “My parents
Swara’s POV “So, you were bringing me to the temple all along?” I sighed. “Are you disappointed?” “Thinking about it now – how long would I hide my death? Soon people will hear word that I’m alive.” I reasoned, guessing the temple had something to do with it. “You are thinking like me. I want you to hide in this temple in the meantime. Till I’m back from teaching your ex-lover and father a lesson.” “I thought you were going back to find information on my biological father?” “Oh, and that too.” He had a mischievous look on his face. “When will you be back?” “Maybe in 6 months.” “What will you be doing at New Crystal for 6 months?!” I almost screamed. “Shhhh! You don’t scream in a temple else the Moon Goddess might turn you to a ritual bowl.” “I’m not a kid. Who are you deceiving?” I pouted. “Not only kids can be deceived.” “Sage Reon.” I teased. “You’ve got so many wise words that you just throw them at random.” “Yes, dear. That’s how I became an Alpha king. And you a runa
Swara’s POVHe looked like an Elder of the court. With the vast age difference, he bowed in reverence to Alpha Reon. And I instinctively bowed to greet him.“Hello, young lady.” He responded to my greeting. “Hope you are a lot better now.”Then it hit me.He was the doctor who had attended to me. The pack doctor would be having extra lessons with me on wolf strength. But how could this old feeble man teach me how to fight and maximize my wolf strength?“Thank you for last time, Doc.” I bowed again.“No need for such courtesy, my Lady.”He was treating me like a reverend guest of Reon.How many people knew we were second-chance mates?Surely the pack doctor knew with the way he honoured me almost as much as Alpha Reon.I leaned close to Reon’s ear and whispered. “I thought you came to show me the temple.”“And the pack doctor in it. You start training tomorrow. I will be making the trip tomorrow too.”“So soon.” I was excited.“So soon.” He mimicked in a baby voice and I couldn’t help
Swara’s POV“Hi, Swara. Nice to meet you.” She stretched out her manicured right hand to me.I received her handshake wondering how she knew my name.“Nice to meet you huh…” Trying to get her name.“Olivia is the name. I run this small business?”Was she kidding me? She was calling SWAT a small business? SWAT is the biggest deal to ever happen to me. And to be getting it on a platter of gold!Damn. I was moved to tears.“Nice meeting you Olivia. I just want to say you’re a genius. You are about to change my life.” I mean every word I said.“Not to mention. I can empathise with you. I was blessed with a weak wolf too. There was no place in the world for us. But here I am – I’ve been in the army and making a name for myself.”I smiled – admiring her tenaciousness.No wonder Alpha Reon needed to do business with her. She was smart and worthy of every side attraction.“I guess we are transparent.” Alpha Reon announced himself – his childish and playful mannerisms in full glare.I guess he
Swara’s POV “Your Big Madam had me take up a lot of weird tests. Was that your plan? You want to get to know how I feel towards you by using her?” “Who are you referring to as Big Madam?” Alpha Reon pretended to be clueless. I gave him that eye. “Of course, you know who I’m talking about.” “Oh, you mean Olivia?!” He exclaimed as though he was just knowing. “No o! Veolia “I replied sarcastically. “That was not funny. Let me tell you what’s funny. I’m travelling tomorrow for the sake of you. And you are trying to spoil a fight with me over Big Madam.” He eyed me like a puppy – facing his small bowl of fruits. I kept mute. “I’m sorry.” “Oh, damn it. I was joking again.” Not my fault. I walked on eggshells all my life. Too afraid to voice my opinions for fear of criticism or getting put down. I apologised at every given moment just to keep the peace. It got so bad. No wonder I find it hard to share a joke except I’m completely at ease with the person. “How are you going to get t
Alpha Reon’s POV“Alpha Miles will soon be here. I came ahead to tell you. He’s passing the Halan mountains.” He came closer and whispered such that Swara couldn’t hear.“What’s he looking for?”“He doesn’t believe his daughter is dead.” Gamma Atticus shivered.I shot him a dead stare. “You told him?”“I didn’t! I swear on my dead mother’s grave. Alpha Miles doesn’t believe she is dead for whatever reason.”“I believe he is coming to my presidential villa.”“What do we do?”“And why are you here? Don’t you think he’d find it more suspicious if he sees you here? Why didn’t you send one of your men?” I scolded him.“I wanted to deliver the message to you in person.”“Good thing he is here.” I bellowed.“What?! Why?”“He has saved me the trouble. I’d just ask him where he is hiding Swara’s real father.”“Rumour has it that he framed him for a crime.”“Maybe. He is capable of all scheming and framing.”“So what happens when he finds out Swara is alive?”Gamma Atticus was anxious.“Don’t w
