“Why is your brother suddenly on Your Case .”Daniel asked Maria
“Since when did he become so soft to the skin ?”He question further , his patient running wide .
“I thought he was on your side only .”He stated , pacing around the room with his anger taking the best of him .
Daniels patience was running out and his anger was increasing. He was happy that they all knew him, except for Daphne who might be ignorant of the fact that he was the evil one among them. Maria didnt know why her brother was on her case, but she was certain that he still had a soft spot for Daphne. She sighed, her anger taking the best of her. Daniel, who couldnt understand anything, stopped to stare at her. Maria kept on pacing up and down, her mind filled with thoughts of getting Daphne out of the way and having the alpha to herself. She wanted to be the Luna by all means, especially when she was betrothed to him.
“What’s the next move “Maria turn to asked , after she had become a bit calm enough
“Did you, perhaps , have something in mind , Something that will make us more controlling of the alpha?”She voiced out , after a pause waiting for his response .
Maria sat next to him, ready to hear what he had in store for them. They discussed for a long period of time as to what to do and how to go about hurting the alpha while creating a rift between the alpha and Daphne. Maria was happy with the new plan and smiled to herself. She was happy that she wasn’t the only one who wanted the alphas downfall and that Daniel had him wrapped around his finger. Maria was curious about the deep secret behind the alphas submission to Daniel, but he had warned her to stay away from his personal life. She feared him because she knew how evil and heartless he could get. She was secretly digging to find out everything, but she didn’t want to raise suspicion and create an alert. She wanted to know the sooner the better, as she feared Daniel might turn away from her anytime.
“What’s the evil thought you had in that head of yours “Daniel inquired , staring at Maria who seemed suspicious to him. He smirked at her and then revealed his whitish teeth to her. Daniel was quite the ladies man, but he never had time for any of the ladies in the pack except for Daphne, who he suddenly picked an interest in. Maybe it was because she was mated to the alpha. He would love to have his mate since he vowed never to let the alpha live happily after all he had done to him. He smirked at the thought of the alpha being a nice angel with the heart of gold. Maria sighed after the long look at him.
Maria glared at Daniel, wondering why he wasn’t making any sense with his smirks. His eyes were filled with hatred, making her fear that he might soon commit murder.
“Aren’t you leaving?”he managed to say.
“The day is getting dark and I need my beauty sleep for what comes ahead of me tomorrow.”Daniel didn’t want Maria to pry into his thoughts, and he never planned on showing his hatred whenever she was around. After one last stare, Maria stood up and hissed before leaving his chambers. She headed home to meet Josiah, but she might stop to greet the alpha on her way.
Josiah sat next to the drunk alpha , he stared at his face to see the sad and bitter look on his face , he was soon angry at what was going on here .
“Daphne’s is that you?”He asked in his drunken state, but there was no response from him .
“I’m sorry I wouldn’t be able to protect you like I promise”He paused , to take a closer look at her .
“Why can’t I see your face? Why is the room darked and I can’t see you?”He asked , using his hands to look for her .
Alpha Josiah held onto him , hurt that he was suddenly lost and the fact that he closed his eyes without a proper awareness that he actually did .
“Open your eyes to see who stands before you.”Alpha Josiah said to him while holding on to him .
he soon realize his eyes were close , he open the eyes when he thought that was Daphne voiced
“Daphne, I’m deeply sorry for all the pain I have caused you, for being a total jerk and undeserving of your love “He groaned out in pain , caressing Josiah’s face.
Josiah could not bear to see him in such states , his heart ache for him and the pain he was passing through hit hard on him .
“Honestly, I didn’t mean to hurt you. My hands are tight and my finger .”He stopped , taking a look at his finger and his eyes filled with tears, he looked up to her again.
“Being a weakling was the greatest pain an alpha can feel , I wouldn’t be able to protect you and I don’t wanna lose you either. I know I’m being pathetic right now but “He shudders , trying to calm himself down .
“Oh Daphne, you knew all along about the anonymous message and you still try to protect, but here I am as a weakling that could not protect his mate .”He voiced out .
“It hurts here”He whipped , taking Josiah’s hands to his beating heart .
josiah was deeply hurt to see the alpha this way , He sighs after the long stares at the alpha
Thing’s isn’t easy for him like he had thought it would be , Knowing that he lives with so much Burdens and yet still acts strong to his pack despite what he was going through. Make him honor Alpha Ben .
“Look at the mess you made of yourself , poor you and the fact that you Rick of alcohol make me wanna punch you in the face .”He stared at him .
“How can an Alpha Be this careless, You ‘ve always be a dummy”He stated , taking the alpha to his bed .
He looked at him one more time ready to step out of his room, when Daphne walked in . She looked strangely at the room that was scattered and all the bottles of beer in the room caught her attention.
“What happened?”she asked, staring at Josiah.
“Don’t know, guess he had a lot to think about and he couldn’t handle it alone . He has the habit of going for alcohol when he is deeply hurt and he can’t rely on anyone.”He stated staring at Daphne .
“What bothers him so much that he wouldn’t love to share .”Daphne asked .
“Oh like you don’t know”Josiah said , staring at her .
“Would you mind taking a walk for a while “He inquired.
“I would love to , but “she pursed to stare at him , pouting her lips .
“The alpha needs me”she let it all out at once .
“Can I get a hug then”
