Yes | 2024-05-03 04:04 | active | 665 | 0 | 833167182182857 | ๐ฅ๐ฅ Click to Read ๐๐ป๐๐ป | "Are you willing to admit your mistake now, Estelle? Give up, say you did it to Kelly, and we're done. You're going to apologize to Kelly and him. Do you really find that hard to do? How about lowering your self-esteem a little more?" he said.<br /> "I will stand by my words because they are the truth. What happened to your sister-in-law was her own doing, Theon, but no matter how much I plead with you, you never believe me. I really can't stand you anymore. Let's get a divorce. Did you hear it? I want you out of my life. I, Luciana Estelle Ortiz, finally reject you as my partner. You make me sick. "<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> "Kelly lost her child because of you!" Alpha Phillip said angrily. <br /> "What do you mean? I didn't do anything to her. Kelly is lying. She is just looking for someone to blame for her carelessness but I swear, I didn't push her," I countered to defend my innocent self from their harsh accusation. I looked up to Theon who was standing right beside me. My eyes, begged for him to take my side, to believe me this time.<br /> "You should be kneeling down for mercy, Estelle. Begging for us to forgive you but insteadโ"<br /> "I am sorry to be impolite but why would I do any of that thing? I am not at fault here," I cut him off and the alpha laughed sarcastically<br /> "Look at this woman you are calling your mate, Theon. If you weren't a fool and stubborn back then. You won't end up with her."<br /> I gasped in shock when Theon held me by my shoulder and pressed me down on the floor, forcing me to kneel before the Alpha.<br /> "Let go of me, Theon," I said in between gritted teeth, trying to wag his hand off my shoulder. He only held me down tighter as if his patience is about to run out too, "You can't force me to apologize to her. It is not my fault. Let me go!"<br /> "Kneel down or I am going to cut off the tie between us and reject you as my mate. Choose one, Lucianna Estelle," he whispered that made me lose all of my strength.<br /> I could not help it but smile bitterly as Theon's harsh words played on my mind like a broken record. By the way he stares at me, I already knew that he won't take my side but him telling me that he will cut off our bond and reject me as his mate is too much.<br /> Theon pressed me tighther on the floor, showing no mercy, not even a chance to look up and meet his father's eyes.<br /> I lost the count of times he have turned his back on me. Most of the time, I will let it slide and shrug it off like it didn't happen but not this time. I don't think I can easily forgive him.<br /> I am not really sure which is more painful. These scratches and tiny wound that I got in my knees or the bleeding of my heart. I never lied to them but why do they find it so hard to believe me?<br /> Alpha Phillip sighs heavily, "Let me ask you one more time, Estelle. Why did you push your sister-in law in the pool and cause her miscarriage?" I can still sense the raw anger on Alpha Phillip's voice that he is trying to mask with the calm look on his face.<br /> I finally find the courage to once again see him eye to eye. I straightened my back, redeeming my composure.<br /> "I am sorry," I murmured. Of course he is not pleased to hear those words from me, but the Alpha is satisfied that I am finally apologizing for the mistake that I didn't commit in the first place. That's what I thought.<br /> "I know you all want to hear that from me but as much as I hate to disappoint all of you. I have too. For the nth time. I am going to say it again and I will remain firm with my words and claim. I didn't push Kelly. It was her fault. She lost her baby because she was careless andโ" I closed my eyes. My heart jump out of its cage to runaway as shock consumed it.<br /> Alpha Phillip threw a porcelain vase in my direction. I was fortunate enough that it didn't hit me but it pieces flew threw my direction, leaving a scratch on the left side of my cheeks.<br /> My hand slowly crawl up to my cheek, trailing the blood that is coming out of my skin.<br /> "I can't believe how arrogant you have become, Estelle! Is it because your husband is close to becoming the Alpha of the pack? Because you are going to become the Luna? Is this why you are challenging me and my authority?" Alpha Phillip screamed angrily. His shoulder shakes and the color of his eyes changes from gray to golden brown, a sign that if I continue to get on his nerve. His wolf will take over and everything would be more chaotic.<br /> "Alpha," Theon called his father but the Alpha ignored him completely.<br /> "Drag her out of this room. Out of my house. Make her kneel outside of the house until she gives in and confess the truth!" Alpha Phillip announced.<br /> Warren, Alpha Phillip's most trusted delta immediately oblige his words. He grabbed me by my left arm and pulls me to stand up from kneeling.<br /> I silently follow Warren's guidance as my eyes silently watch everyone else. Alpha Phillip glance at his youngest son and shakes his head in disappointment. He is probably blaming Theon for my rude attitude.<br /> As soon as Alpha Phillip stormed out of the private hall. Warren let go of my arm. His eyes made a quick scanning on me and then he turned to his bestfriend, Theon.<br /> "Really, Ares Theon? You can't even say something to defend your wife? If the Alpha orders for his warrior to take her life, still you won't say anything, do you?" Warren mocked him.<br /> "It's her fault. What do you want me to do? If you were so worried about her then why didn't you say something? You too were quiet the whole time," Theon scoffed. He gazes at my direction one last time before he followed his father's footstep.<br /> "Between you two. It should be you who needs to cut the bond. When will you save your self from this, Estelle?" Warren asked. I smiled weakly at him.<br /> Warren no longer needs to walk me out of the house. I did it on my own. On the cobblestone in front of the pack house. I kneeled, with my knees pressing on the small stone in the pavement, wincing in pain and struggling to maintain in my position is expected.<br /> "Miss Elle, you have to do it properly says the young master." A pair of female omega came to my side. They didn't even try to hide those insulting smile that they had plastered on their lips as they talk.<br /> I darted a glare at them that they ignored on purpose, "You have to spread your arms as you kneel. That is the proper way."<br /> "Excuse me? That is a punishment for someone like you. How dare you insult me like this? Have you forgotten who I am?" I asked in between gritted teeth.<br /> They only look at each other and giggles.<br /> "Why are you getting mad at us? It's a word of your husband, Miss. Not ours. Also, we haven't forgotten who you are. You are the future Alpha's forsaken wife," she said.<br /> In time to that. The reason why the sky looks so dark and gloomy finally fall. Rain pours down and the two of them immediately rush themselves inside, leaving me all by myself.<br /> I lifted my arm and spread it on mid-air as I continued to kneel in front of the pack house.<br /> The rain started to fall harder. Strong and cold winds blew. All that is left for me to do to somehow keep myself warm is to hug my body.<br /> I heard from some of the servant that walked passed by me earlier that Alpha Phillip cancelled his birthday celebration because of what had happened and I am sure that everyone in the pack are blaming me for what had happened.<br /> I licked my lower lip. The rain has finally stop from pouring. Darkness spread in the sky like a wild fire. The omega that Theon asked to check on me as I am being harshly punish is now asleep.<br /> I have been in this position for God know's how long. I am dying to leave. My body is getting a lot weaker and I feel feverish. The coldness didn't left my body even though the rain is already gone. In fact, my whole body is trembling and my head is starting to feel terrible too.<br /> Now that there is no one watching me. I can choose to stand up and leave but my pride is taking over me. I would rather suffer than confess that I did something that I didn't do. Everyone has turned their back on me. I can't do the same thing to myself. If I can no longer give myself some respect and integrity. No one else would.<br /> "Estelle, you need to get through this. You have to be strong," I whispered to myself as drop of tears escaped from my eyes.<br /> Just when the lid of my eyes is about to close. I lightly shake my head to keep myself awake. I even bite my lower lip until I tasted blood coming out from it.<br /> The whole night had passed. My clothes that were once drenched and dripping because of the rain has dried off and the sun is starting to light up the whole world yet I am still kneeling. I could no longer feel my knees.<br /> I had my eyes glued on the cobblestone. It only moves when I saw a pair of leather shoes inches away from my bleeding knees. My eyes crawls from the pair of shoes up to his legs, upper body and finall to his chest.<br /> "Theon," I whispered my husband's name using the last drop of my strength and energy.<br /> He lowered his height so our face would met.<br /> "Will you now admit to your wrong doing, Estelle? Come on! Give up and say that you did it to Kelly so we'll be done and through. That is all what the alpha wants to hear. For you to apologize to Kelly and to him. Do you really find it hard to do? Lower your pride a little more, will you?" he said. I chuckled bitterly and look up to him with nothing but hatred and disgust.<br /> Theon was caught off-guard by the emotions in my eyes.<br /> "Do you really think that I am that gullible, Theon? Why would I let myself suffer overnight if I'll end up admiting that I am the one at fault? I'll stand firm with my words because that's the truth. The only person to blame for the tragedy that happened to your sister-in law is no one but herself, Theon... but you're never going to believe me no matter how I begged for you to listen to me," I took a pause and breathe deeply. I need to be courageous enough to open my mouth for the second time, "I really can't stand you anymore, Theon. Let's get a divorce. Do you hear me? I want you gone in my life. I, Lucianna Estelle Ortiz is finally rejecting you as my mate. I should have done this ages ago. I should have listen to my father when he told me that you are no good for me. He was right. The Moon God made a mistake making you my mate. You disgust me."<br /> This could be an impulsive decision because I am hurting at the moment but at the same time. I know too well that this is the only chance that I have. I need to walk away from Theon right now because I know that it would took me a thousand years to find the courage to leave him if I let this chance slide.<br /> I rose to my feet and slowly make my way inside of the pack house even though I can barely stand up.<br /> My inner wolf is crying and dying in pain at the same time as I packed everything that I own in this room inside of my luggagr bag. Once I am done, I zipped it up and my eyes landed on my ring finger.<br /> I closed my eyes to stop myself from crying. I removed the wedding band from my finger and left it on the side table.<br /> I am feeling dizzy and hot. It felt like any moment from now. I am going to lose my balance and fall to the ground because of my fever but I can't afford to stay here any longer.<br /> As I was dragging my luggages down the staircase. Theon happened to be walking upstairs. I immediately look away from his direction and continue to drag my luggage and myself out of the pack house that serves as my home for years.<br /> The deltas guarding the gate open them up for me. I looked back at the pack house as bitterness swirls in my system. Theon can no longer wait for me to leave this place. He even told their guards to let me leave as soon as I can.<br /> Of course he can't. Although I am his mate. His heart belongs to someone else. It belongs to Kelly and he never had the chance to had it back even if she was married to his older brother. Theon waited for his chance to be with her the way I am waiting for him to look at me the same way he looks at her.<br /> I am such a fool for hoping that something like that would happen.<br /> The moment I opened my eyes. I saw a white ceiling and that blinding white light. My body feels weak. It's aching all over, on the second thought. It's not my body that is making me weak and fragile but my wounded inner wolf who is mourning and grieving over the fact that I rejected her mate, Theon's inner wolf before they become intimate.<br /> That's right. Theon were never intimate with me and we were married for three years. The first time that he pecked me was when we got married and if I remember it right. That was the last time too.<br /> The door opened and when my eyes trails to that direction. I saw Beau, my childhood bestfriend walked in with a paperbag on his hand.<br /> "H-Hey," I greeted him. He walk straight to my hospital bed. He flashes a bright smile that soothes me somehow.<br /> "Where am I?" I continued to look around and my eyes gets to answer the question that had escape from my lips. I am in the hospital and I can't believe that I have these medical things attached on my body.<br /> I hold on to my dextrose and was about to take them off when Beau stopped me.<br /> "Don't. You need that in order to gain some energy for your body." I smirked at him and continue to pull the needle out of my veins. Soon, I realized why he didn't want me to take these thing off.<br /> My wolf is too weak to heal me, but it's too late. I can put it back on my own. We are gonna need to call a nurse to put it back on me but I don't want anyone in my room at the moment.<br /> I pushed my upper body to get up from the bed and sit. Beau was quick to assist me. He put a pair of pillow to support my back.<br /> "I already know why I am here but why are you here? I can't remember how I got here," I said. The last thing that I can remember is me walking out of the pack house's gate.<br /> "Warren called me. He said you need me. When I arrived to pick you up. I saw you unconscious in front of their gate. It was raining. Would you mind telling me what happened? Why the guards let you in such state? What happened to your wolf, Estelle?"<br /> I looked away from his eyes. If there's someone I can never lie too. It's Beau. He can tell wether I am lying to him or not and I don't really want to talk about it.<br /> "I thought you'd prefer these over the hospital food. I got you your favorite pasta," he said.<br /> I immediately grab the paperbag from his hand. The pesto cheered me up somehow and it gave me energy too. Just when I was about to take the last bite from its aesthetically pleasing container. He opened his palm before my eyes, asking for something.<br /> I looked up to him with confusion dwelling in my eyes. "Hmm?"<br /> "Your phone. I will keep it for the mean time?" My eyebrow crane up.<br /> "Why would you want to keep my phone?"<br /> "Just give it to me. Deal with Theon and everything once you are well for the mean time. I want you to focus on getting better. I am not used in seeing you like this. I want the energetic and happy Lucianna Estelle." I pouted my lips. I already saw my phone on the table next to my hospital bed so I do know where to get them. Seconds after giving it to Beau. He turned it off and then he gestured me to finish eating my food.<br /> "You still eat like a kindergarten. I can't believe that you were to become the Luna of that pack," Beau said it mindlessly and when he realize that he said something that he shouldn't have. He presses his lips together.<br /> "I will go get something that you can use to clean up your face," he mumbled, changing the topic to ease the awkwardness between us.<br /> "No. Nevermind. I got it." I grabbed a wet wipes from the side table and clean myself. I decided that washing my face would be better and so I left my room to do it so in the comfort room because my room does not have one.<br /> "Have you seen the article about the Sullivans? It's crazy. From the moment I saw the second young master's wife. I know that she's no good. Just by seeing her gives me the irks." Hearing those nurse gossiping about me in the hallway made me stop from walking. I had to hide myself in the corner just so they wouldn't see me.<br /> "She is basically a murderer. She killed her sister-in law's baby. The only thing that is left to remind her of her late husband. I am glad that the heir to the throne is divorcing her. I don't like the Lucianna Estelle to become the Luna of the city and rule together with Alpha Theon. I'd rather have the soon to be Alpha married his brother's ex-wife than stick with her good for nothing wife..." they continued to talk about me.<br /> "But aren't they mated to each other? Theon and Estelle?"<br /> "Theon probably rejected her. Her wolf is struggling that is why she's here," said by the other nurse before they giggle as if my suffering brings them nothing but absolute joy.<br /> "These people. How dare them insult you like that. They know nothing." Beau was about to approach them when I managed to pulled his hand and make him stay by my side. I look at him and shake my head, telling him not to do anything about it.<br /> "I need a way more important favor from you, Atty. Beaumont Meadows. Will you help me with my divorce." Beau stared at me with his mouth half-opened.<br /> "You were the one who asked for divorce?"<br /> "Yes."<br /> Beau pulled me into a warm hug and whispers, "Finally." | LEARN_MORE | https://c.read4funs.com/ad/aXJvbWFuY2UvMTY0NjYyLzI | 193365490526262 | ForFun-120 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 72 | 1 | 1,846,535,365,822,627 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | ForFun-120 | 120210564780520664 | c.read4funs.com | NONE | video | https://c.read4funs.com/ad/aXJvbWFuY2UvMTY0NjYyLzIwMjQwNDI4MTAyMTU4L3BhZ2U=?adid={{ad.id}} | 2024-04-27 21:34 | https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440004836_1161112091578446_2885677151296669094_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=FsbTjbbWIvAQ7kNvgGoHvUl&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfCKUAHAQ0DGTWpAzUuG8VurVie5muHyZ09lA9kRR58dsQ&oe=663A6216 | person_profile | 0 | ForFun-120 | https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440351753_293091497174855_2687674499436448374_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=YnFXBr9_pZ4Q7kNvgFhU37m&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfC-5XZJteZvn7vvKYz64K0ycMe3jeHqqCZENFus9daZ_A&oe=663A8A67 | 0 | 3 | ForFun-120 | 0 | 0 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||

I looked up at her and my mouth fell open to the floor.<br /> Gone was the chubby girl with the unruly curls and freckled face of my dreams. Stood before me was a Goddess. Her long legs seemed to stretch forever, her skin golden and smooth.<br /> She was strong, lean, and muscled. Utter destruction, yet devastatingly gorgeous. Her lips curled back over her teeth in a snide smile as she looked down her nose at me.<br /> "Hello, Duke" she breathed, her voice husky and seductive. "Did you miss me? And regret rejecting me five years ago?"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Grace's POV<br /> Paul, Iโve told you a million times, Iโm not ready yet!โ I exhaled with visible impatience<br /> โI donโt understand the wait!โ He snapped back, his nostrils flaring in anger. โWe both know that this is what we want - you havenโt changed your mind... have you?โ he asked after a momentโs hesitation.<br /> I flinched as the face that haunted my dreams flashed behind my eyes for a moment, shocking me to the very core of my being that he still had this effect on me. It was one thing to come to me at night when I had no thought or control over the visions that took place but during the day? I couldnโt let him keep this level of control over me! His voice boomed around my head, as I knew it would. The voice always followed his beautiful image. He had been beckoning me for days.<br /> โOf course, Iโve not changed my mind, I just need some more time. I havenโt even told my dad about us...โ<br /> Paul interrupted me with a scoff, โplease!โ he spat as he rolled his eyes at me. โYou havenโt spoken to your dad in 5 years, donโt bring him into it! You didnโt even attend your motherโs funeral, theyโre not important to youโ<br /> My wolf growled out a firm warning, reminding him without words who was the more dominant wolf here as well as his status in my life. Now was not the time to push me.<br /> โMy life is complicated, Paul! My parents and I... Look, โ I muttered, my voice becoming firmer. โI wonโt be pushed on this. I said Iโm not ready, and that was the end of it. If youโre not willing to wait, thatโs fine, you know where the door is, but donโt you dare stand there and deliver orders to me as though Iโm your bimbo.โ<br /> โGrace...โ Paul extended his arms to me, looking suddenly apologetic as he realized my infamous anger was close to bubbling over.<br /> I shrugged his hands away before he could make contact with me. โNo. You donโt get to turn on the puppy eyes and say youโre sorry and that youโll wait for me. Iโve heard it all before.โ I closed my eyes against the voice in my mind that was growing louder and more demanding: It's time, Grace. You need to come home. I wonโt tell you again. Remember who your Alpha is. Remember what you did, Grace. You owe them.<br /> Did I owe them? The nerve of him! I owed nobody in the NightWalker pack anything! They had never given me anything that I hadnโt paid for with my blood, sweat, and tears... so many tears!<br /> โI just want you to be accepted into the pack, Grace,โ Paul stressed, snapping me out of my internal rant. โItโs been 5 years and you still havenโt accepted the alphaโs offer and left your old pack behind. The other members here are whispering about you. We let you off when you were young and afraid, but you turned 18 two years ago. It's time you made yourself a permanent fixture hereโ<br /> โOh, and I suppose choosing you as my choice mate is the only way to do that, is it?โ I shot back, my voice dripping in sarcasm.<br /> โNo, I just...โ<br /> โIf the alpha has a problem, you tell him to come and speak to me. Now, if youโll excuse me...โ I bumped my shoulder against his with more force than was necessary as I made my way past him. I had surprised myself by my sudden decision, but I knew in my heart that this was right. This was what I had trained so hard for all these years.<br /> โWhere are you going?โ he asked as his eyes followed me out of the door.<br /> I almost laughed as his eyes grew wide at my response. โTo pack my cases. Iโm being summonedโ<br /> I couldnโt ignore the alpha call any longer. It was time to go home and face up to my past.<br /> <br /> Dukeโs POV<br /> โWill she come?โ Thomas asked as he clutched my hand, his words slurred and slow.<br /> I smirked as an image of Grace came to mind. Grace had always been the โgood girlโ. The one that had never wanted to rock the boat. Of course, she would come home.<br /> โSheโll come back Thomas, you have my word on that one. Donโt worry about anything, you just concentrate on getting better, let me deal with this.โ I rose, intending to leave him now that I had put his mind at ease, but the hand that was clutching mine suddenly tightened, his nails digging into my skin as his eyes grew large, appearing almost frantic.<br /> โYouโll tell her Iโm sorry, wonโt you, Alpha? Youโll tell her I didnโt mean it, that I was stupid? I wasnโt in my right mind! Moon Goddess forgive me,โ he whispered, tears spilling down his cheeks as he sank back on the bed, weakened by the fierce display of emotion he had shown.<br /> I frowned down at him as his eyes closed, and his breathing became shallow and even, showing that he had exhausted himself to sleep.<br /> What was all that about? I wondered, thinking back to the night that Grace had left. I knew they had argued, the two of them were always butting heads, but as far as I was aware, it wasnโt anything that would warrant this reaction.<br /> Both had a different story to tell. Thomas and Helen would say Grace was troublesome, and difficult to deal with. She was promiscuous and sneaky, unable and, most importantly, unwilling to partake in her responsibilities to ensure the pack ran smoothly.<br /> Grace would tell tales of her abuse at the hands of her parents, how they treated her like dirt and physically hurt her for no other reason than hatred. They had wanted a boy, a male heir, to replace them as Beta of the Night Walker pack. Grace was ashamed of the fact that she was no better than a null. Her parents were psychotic in their disappointment, blaming her for everything that went wrong.<br /> My jaw hardened. The Grace I thought I had known was nothing but a mirage - a personality that she had conjured up to seem more appealing, to gain more sympathy as the damsel in distress. She played a clever game and knew exactly what it was she was doing.<br /> She had probably stayed away this long to punish her father even more. She hadnโt turned up for her own motherโs funeral, so it showed how little she cared about the parents that had done their best for her. I knew now that she had blinded me. I had gotten too involved, and believed this teenager when she stared into my eyes and made declarations she had no intention of keeping. She didnโt know how to tell the truth.<br /> Never mind that I had also seen with my own eyes the side of her she had tried to hide from me - I should have been more suspicious of her when she appeared that night. Should have kept my guard up. I was saved in the nick of time by her stupidity.<br /> The cynical side of me sneered in revulsion as a thought came to mind - she was bound to return home once she got wind that her father was on his deathbed. Greedy, money-hungry Grace would be all too happy to hear that she was to inherit everything. Even after the way she had treated Thomas, he had made sure that she was still in the will to manage the entire estate as well as keep her position as the next Beta.<br /> I had been clinging to a shred of hope that she hadnโt left the pack yet, despite being accepted into another one almost as soon as she left, because she wanted to keep some sort of connection to me, that I wasnโt just a pawn in her game to rise through the ranks. Now though, I could see clearly. She hadnโt left so she could make sure she had a higher position to return to should her new pack not work out.<br /> I could feel her presence getting closer, her scent becoming stronger. She was on her way back home and this time, I would be the one to come out on top, she would not fool me again.<br /> I laughed as I left Thomasโ room and made my way to the office. Grace was to inherit everything, including the position as my Beta. She would finally make good on the sweet promises she had whispered in my ear all those years ago, whether or not she liked it, and this time I would be ready for her.<br /> I made my way to the greeting room of this house, instinctively knowing that Grace would return to her childhood home as though she owned the place - which she technically would in a few days if the pack doctor was to be believed. Whilst her scent continued to tantalize me with its sweet aroma, I forced myself to remember her bitter lies and to plan, to try to think what games she was planning on playing with me this time round. I needed to have a checkmate move for every eventuality.<br /> <br /> Grace's POV<br /> "Just look at it, Thomas! 15 years old and she's yet to shift!"<br /> "It's not the shifting we need to be concerned about, Helen, the poor girl is the weight of a full-grown male wolf. Its an embarrassment. Not a single wolf has even looked in her direction! We'll never be able to mate her off and get her out of our hair at this rate!"<br /> "Even the Alpha has started laughing at our bad fortune. I swear on the hand of the great Goddess, we would have fared better had we remained childless. She'll never pass as a beta, she can barely pass through a doorway!"<br /> "Helen" Thomas said with a laugh and a playful shake of his head<br /> "Oh come now, Tom, you know it to be true! Poor Duke is mortified after you revealed her little secret! At least his future mate doesn't have to worry about any competition! Who could be threatened by a plain Jane like our daughter? Just get her out of my site! She's an abomination!"<br /> I shook my head to clear the ghosts of my past. It seemed the closer I got to my home pack, the louder the voices of my parents resounded in my mind.<br /> My wolf was almost feral as she growled her temper, demanding that I set her free with every mile we drove closer. She wanted to wreak havoc on all those who had shamed and humiliated us, but I wouldn't allow her to have her freedom. I never usually denied my wolf her needs, we had spent so many years apart, struggling to connect that when she finally came through for me when I needed her the most, I had sworn to make her the happiest wolf the world had known.<br /> Except this time. This time I had to put my foot down and order her back into the deepest, darkest corner of my mind and suppress her powers - we both needed reigning in. It would do us no good to reveal all of our cards, this was a game of cat and mouse that needed to be played very carefully, I knew that now<br /> Too many times I had laid all my cards on the table, only to find myself cheated and robbed as those that should have protected me fed me to the wolves - no pun intended.<br /> My wolf chuffed in my head, letting me know that she had heard my inner monologue and she wasn't happy about it but she wasn't going to push the matter anymore. She had never forgiven herself. Even though she didn't know why she hadn't been able to come forward and claim me sooner than she did, that didn't stop her from blaming herself for everything that had happened.<br /> Whilst it was true that I may have been able to defend myself better had I had the advanced, honed senses I have today, it wouldn't have saved me completely. Having my wolf wouldn't have made me a mind reader and it wouldn't have stopped others from wanting to hurt me.<br /> I swung my car around the corner with more force than necessary, blaring the horn at the idiot in front of me. I was restless, my skin prickling. Duke was close by. I knew that as surely as I knew the sky was blue.<br /> The awareness that ran through my body didn't surprise me as much as I thought it would. Subconsciously I had always known that the feelings I had for him had never completely faded. Oh, his dad, the old alpha, would laugh along with my beta parents and mock me for my teenage crush but I knew it was so much more than that. Duke had managed to reach a part of me that I thought had been lost forever thanks to the hurtful, spiteful words my parents spat at me<br /> No! My wold raged suddenly, reminding me why we had to be strong. Duke is not the hero he pretends to be, Grace. Remember that! She hissed.<br /> I straightened my back as I indicated for the last turning before I reached "home". No, Duke was certainly not the hero he liked to portray.<br /> He was a monster. The kind that preyed on vulnerable teenagers, striking them when they need love and affection the most, only to shove them to the side when he had his satisfaction.<br /> Although that wasn't strictly true. He had never tried to get me to go any further than I was comfortable with and had turned me down when I tried to make our relationship sexual. Not that it made what he did any better! He had promised me so many things, things that he soon backpedaled on when things got slightly more difficult. I had been so young and naive, wanting to believe in myself and Duke so desperately that I had allowed myself to be wooed with empty words.<br /> I would never be that person again. I now saw the true meaning behind his gentle touches and his soft-spoken words. He was grooming me, wanting to be the one to break in the fat she-wolf who couldn't shift.<br /> It was no secret that my parents despised me. They were both betas born and bred, and their parents before them were also betas. They had wanted a boy, had planned for a boy, bought for a boy and what did they end up with?<br /> An embarrassment if their tales were to be believed. I had always been on the larger side, struggling to control my weight ever since I was a child. It was all too easy to steal into the packhouse kitchen in the dead of the night. The chef there took a liking to me, telling me her stories of a childhood abroad as I ate all the snacks and then some. I laughed along with her as she told me about her life and imagined a world far away from the Inferno I was living<br /> Of course, as soon as my parents found out, they had given Priscilla two choices. Leave as a rogue or be executed on the spot. I never heard her answer, but I did receive her teeth in a small box the next day.<br /> I never mentioned that incident to anyone and never again did I steal away to the kitchen, yet the habit had already been learned. Instead of visiting the kitchens, I would stash whatever food I could find, taking double portions whenever I had the opportunity -one for now, one for later.<br /> The more my weight grew, the more my parents resented me, which meant my eating habits grew worse. It was a vicious circle, with only one victim at the center.<br /> The resentment and hatred between my parents and me built so high that it was inevitable the wall would come crashing down. Thinking of that day, the day I had lost everything, still managed to tear at my heart with the worst possible pain.<br /> I had never forgiven and I would never forget. I had missed my mother's funeral, choosing to say goodbye in my way. I would not pretend for the sake of saving face and presenting a United front for the sake of the pack.<br /> I had spent 5 years reinventing myself, trying to let the demons die and move on. Stupid girl, I should have known that a past like mine would never stay hidden.<br /> I smirked as I caught a glance at myself in the rearview mirror. I had succeeded in one area of my reinvention. It would be a wonder if Duke even recognized who I was. So long as my wolf kept her promised and reigned herself in, he would never know the warrior we had become. He would see me as the bimbo blonde with nothing to offer and honestly? I was okay with that. I would strike when I was ready, and not a moment sooner.<br /> <br /> Duke's POV<br /> I began to scent Grace long before the headlights of her car came into view. If anyone else had entered this pack via a car it would raise some eyebrows, yet nothing else was expected of Grace. She could hardly come crashing through the forest in her wolf skin, could she?<br /> I had felt sorry for her growing up. Many children felt as though they were living in someone else's shadow - whether it be the boy who has to follow in his father's footsteps and lead the pack or the girl who wants to train just as hard as her brother but was either ignored or fell short of the expectations. Grace was much worse. She was living in the shadow of a child that didn't exist but that her parents still loved.<br /> Even in my bitterness, I could see that. She had been starved of affection. That was the only thing that had stopped me from following after her and ripping the head from her shoulders for the hurt she had caused. She did what she did to feel love. Goddess knew she didn't get any from her parents, not the way a child deserves<br /> Everything she did, they would imagine what could have been had they been given a son. If she achieved academically, their son would have done better. If she was a brilliant cook, it paled in comparison to the dishes their son would have rustled up with minimum effort.<br /> When Grace showed signs of being a Nul - a wolf that cant shift - this only solidified the evil hand her parents had been dealt. They believed they had angered the Moon Goddess somehow and so they made a pact to become the best betas for miles around, often leaving Grace to fend for herself with yet another expectation hanging over her head.<br /> I had done what I could for her, displaying small acts of kindness whenever my hectic schedule allowed. I knew that on more than one occasion things had almost gone too far.<br /> Almost.<br /> My wolf growled, the noise vibrating through my temples, reminding me that Grace was not ours, had never been ours. She had shown us that all too clearly. When we had been ready to lay our heart on the table, she had stomped all over it, bursting it under her stiletto heel as she offered herself to another. A wolf that she should never have been messing with but it seemed that she couldn't help herself.<br /> She's disgusting, I reminded myself as the headlights on the car slammed shut and the sound of gravel crunching underneath soft shoes became louder.<br /> As much as I wanted to believe that, I couldn't help but picture the soft, curved body pressed against mine. The memory of that night had haunted me for years. I had stroked myself so many times, imagining what would have happened had we got to live the life we had planned. I would have pulled her body closer to mine, her papillae would have been more than a handful, her creamy mounds spilling over the top of her bra as my hands cupped the, running my tongue along the silky skin. I saw her head tipped back, her parted lips glistening as her tongue ran across them, heard her soft, breathy moans of my name.<br /> Every time had been a vision of perfection, making me release against my hand as she rode me, sending our bodies into heights of pleasure she had never experienced before.<br /> So many nights I had laid awake, full of regrets. Yet I wasn't the one that caused this. She did this. She ruined it.<br /> Still, as much as I wanted to deny it, I was looking forward to seeing her once more, to seeing if the connection was still there.<br /> The door slammed open, leaving a dent in the wall as it crashed against it.<br /> I scented the warm, vanilla scent of Grace, smirking as I prepared for the pathetic, fake innocence she would present. I looked up at her and my mouth fell open to the floor.<br /> Gone was the chubby girl with the unruly curls and freckled face of my dreams. Stood before me was a Goddess. Her long legs seemed to stretch forever, her skin golden and smooth. Her dress brushed against her thighs, floating with every move she made. Her hips were curved slightly, her hands planted on either side, pushing out her small, firm papillae as she threw her straight blonde hair over her shoulder and looked me dead in the eye with a hatred that covered the distance between us and seared into my skin.<br /> She was strong, lean, and muscled. Utter destruction, yet devastatingly gorgeous. Her lips curled back over her teeth in a snide smile as she looked down her nose at me.<br /> "Hello, Duke" she breathed, her voice husky and seductive. "Did you miss me?"<br /> I opened my mouth, ready to spit back at her when my wolf beat me to it. He pounded forward, knocking against my skull as he roared, mate! | LEARN_MORE | https://a.whastory.com/ad/c2VhZ3VsbC8xNjQzNjcvMjAy | 107108135745748 | What2628-eng | https://facebook.com/100093514056404 | 79 | 1 | 1,900,716,683,722,581 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | What2628-eng | 120209510248680344 | a.whastory.com | NONE | video | https://a.whastory.com/ad/c2VhZ3VsbC8xNjQzNjcvMjAyNDA0MjgwOTQ3NTQvcGFnZQ==?adid={{ad.id}} | 2024-04-27 21:00 | https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440186399_1164372624837354_562671366137672371_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=SfroPJwiCuwQ7kNvgHoGBet&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfAmTWDRJwUZGpM0t0wU1xAm-8ksq_-ApsvU4Ous8E9SxQ&oe=663A9240 | person_profile | 0 | What2628-eng | https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440102450_373156229059457_5801458084728023395_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=sC4mX9aZ90wQ7kNvgGaOzBa&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfA3_iE5sCHDPEmhDoJ_xKC7jzTH5b0ePz3dfkB1drkQuw&oe=663A8B65 | 0 | 3 | What2628-eng | 0 | 0 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||

How long?"she asked her eyes filled with joyous wonder, "You should come back with me. There's always a spot in the pack. Alpha Biel is such a-โ<br /> I shook my head quickly, "I can't come back with you. I can't ever go back, I was exiled, remember?โ<br /> "That was before your wolf,"she said with a warm smile, "You're pack. Surely your wolf wants a pack.โ<br /> She did. She wanted a pack more than she wanted to breathe, I shook my head, "We can't go back.โ<br /> โ<br /> Aster<br /> May 10 Years Ago<br /> I was in my car trying not to catch a glimpse of my newly blackened eye. It seemed that even though I was a soon to be exiled human dud, Kendrick's flunkies still weren't afraid to show me who was boss. It stung and was starting to swell. I looked down at the clock. I had forty minutes to get 60 miles. I'd never make it.<br /> I was so angry. I hated them all. As if life hadn't been hard enough having been raised in the pack. I had spent every day of my life for years preparing to become a wolf, to find a mate, and raise a litter of pups, and I wouldn't get any of it. The people I'd been raised with, my friends, my pack, tortured me for it. I waited for my wolf so I could join them and end my misery. I was patient. I sat outside on the forest border every night for years willing the wolf to come out of me.<br /> "Flowers bloom all year round, Aster dear,"my mom would say as she wiped my tears after each new wolf made its way into the world, "You're a September flower. Your wolf will come.โ<br /> But she never came. I watched all my friends go through the change and pair up under my nose. One day, they'd be normal, the next they'd be glued at the hip to another wolf, having become one of them. I prayed to the moon goddess for years to show me my wolf. I wanted to be a part of the pack. I wanted to be a real member of my family. I wanted friends. By age 17, they'd all changed, but not me. I'd held out hope that maybe a younger wolf would recognize me as his mate, at least then I could stay. But none had claimed me.<br /> The anger grew painful in my gut. I pressed my foot down on the gas, better to risk a speeding ticket than a brutal whipping for my mother. My car was nearing its limit when the pain in my gut grew worse.<br /> I could hardly breathe, I couldn't think. I heard popping and my hips burned with a fire I'd never felt before. My arms hurt like they were being pricked by thousands of tiny pins. I looked down at them, they'd started sprouting fur. I had to pull over. I was so close to the border. One mile, maybe two but I couldn't concentrate. Black fur was burning its way through my body and I could feel each follicle widen to accept it.<br /> I was changing<br /> I opened the car door and quickly took off the cap and gown. The popping in my back prevented me from saving my sundress and shoes. I collapsed on the side of the road. It hurt so bad. I crawled into the ditch, if a human saw me changing it would be the end of their lives, and mine.<br /> I wasn't a dud.<br /> The joy of not being a failure temporarily blocked out the pain as every bone in my body broke and reshaped. My knees popped backward as my femur shortened. My nose and jaws elongated. I closed my eyes as a girl and reopened them as a wolf.<br /> I heard howls miles in the distance. The pack was running to celebrate the commencement. I longed to run with them. Then I felt it.<br /> The unmistakable pull.<br /> I'd heard it described every Sunday at shifter school. It encompassed every part of my being. I needed to go to it. To him, to my mate. Wherever he was I needed to be. He was in the woods away from my car. I raced, unsteady on my four paws at first but quickly finding my pace. I was a wolf. I was running as a wolf. I raced pulled by the invisible leash leading me to my mate. The one the moon goddess had made just for me. I knew he'd love me. He wouldn't care I was almost a dud; he'd just want me.<br /> I heard another howl, this one closer, mournful, mine. I howled back, joining his song, the song of my mate. His howl abruptly cut off. He was on the move. The leash rapidly changed directions pulling me a new direction. I needed to follow it, I had to find him. I raced through the trees not caring about anything but finding the wolf who had half my soul. I caught a glimpse of a black fluffy tail. Nearly there, he was leading me home, that had to be it, he couldn't be running from me. He needed me as much as I needed him.<br /> I raced faster and harder trying to catch up to him, but he was so much faster. The tether urged me on. I was panting trying to keep up. I was racing leaping over fallen trees and ducking under low branches. My wolf was thrilled with the chase. We leapt over another tree and my paw found an awkward footing. I heard a metallic click-<br /> Snap<br /> Sharp pain radiates up my right front paw. A pained whine escapes my throat. I was caught in a bear trap. Its terrifying jaws dig into my thin leg like a dinosaur's maw. I loose a desperate howl begging for my mate to come back and find me. To help me out of this trap. I knew I couldn't shift out if it, I'd lose my paw for sure. I needed help. I whined and howled again.<br /> I heard the snap of a twig and looked in the direction. A big black wolf with golden eyes was watching me. I whined and whimpered. It was him, my mate. He'd come back for me. I motioned to my leg and the trap and barked hoping he'd see it and understand. He could release me, take me back to the pack doctors and save my leg.<br /> The wolf's fur rippled, and the painful sound of popping bones echoed in the silent summer forest. Several agonizing seconds later Kendrick Biel stood in front of me. He shifted so fast, so easily compared to my shift. The pain of the shift was nothing compared to what I was experiencing now.<br /> I whimpered, pleading with this man to save me. He strode over and my heart leapt. He was going to save me. He touched my head and my wolf leaned into his caress. He pet back my ears and shushed me soothingly.<br /> "You need to leave,"he said finally, he continued to lovingly stroke my fur, "I don't want you here.โ<br /> He stood up and shifted again. His wolf wouldn't touch mine as it walked away. I whined again begging him to come back to at least release me. I tried to shift but the pain in my leg was too much. He got several yards away and I heard the sounds of his low growl. His wolf sat near a tree and watched me.<br /> Instincts kicked in. If my moon blessed mate wasn't going to free me from the trap, I'd die in it. The trappers would come back, find their prize, and my fur would be mounted on their walls. No one would ever know what happened to Aster Fields. My mother would assume I never wanted to talk to her again. Easterville would assume I just never showed up. No one would know I died. Except Kendrick, who no doubt would never admit I was his mate.<br /> I couldn't die here. I couldn't give the bastards the satisfaction. I stared into his golden eyes and chewed. My first shift on four legs would be my last one. There was no coming back from this. A part of me hoped as I tore through the fur and flesh, that this was a test. That he needed me to prove that his mate was tough enough to be an alpha female. That she had the guts to do what needed to be done to survive. I looked back at him when I'd exposed bone. He was still watching me. He was going to make me do this. I whimpered. It hurt so bad. I didn't want to do this.<br /> I gave him one last look. I vowed; this would be the last chance he ever had to be my mate. He'd either save me from the trap now, or never see me again. Kendrick's wolf continued to stare at me, silent, motionless, impassive. I looked down at the raw flesh and exposed bone. This was it. I bit down as hard as I could, hearing the sickening crunch as the bones broke. I was free. My paw was not. I looked up and Kendrick's wolf was gone.<br /> The exposed bones were splintered and sickening to look at. There was nothing I could do about that. I was bleeding heavily. Instincts told me to lick the wound. The copper taste of blood did not soothe my wolf. I whined when I caught sight of what remained of my paw still in the trap. Black fur, pink muscles, pale white bones. Revulsion riled in me. I wanted to vomit. I couldn't believe what I had done. I continued to lick my wounds. There was no going back, I did what I had to do to survive.<br /> I heard howls of more wolves. Maybe Kendrick had gone to get them to hunt me down. Maybe his plan all along was for me to die. I needed to get back to my car, I needed to keep moving. I sniffed the ground until I picked up a scent I recognized as my strawberry shampoo. I followed it. The grace I had lacked when I first shifted was back tenfold. I'd lope several steps and forget I'd lost a paw and I'd crash to the ground landing hard on the already splintered bones. I'd yelp and try to bite back my pained cries. I couldn't let them find me.<br /> I found the tree line before the ditch where my torn sundress laid. I made it. I willed my body to shift. Sunday shifter school had made it sound easy. Just picture yourself as a human and human you'd become. It wasn't easy. I had to imagine forcing my toes through my claws and reshaping my body back together. It felt like it took hours before my body was human again. The moon was high overhead and I was exhausted. But I needed to keep going. I needed to get out of here, away from pack land. Away from him. I was undressed. I was bloody, and my arm was still bleeding where a hand had once been.<br /> I wrapped the stump in the torn dress. It was a painful process. Every nerve ending felt exposed. Every brush of the fabric rioted protestations through to my core. I pulled the commencement robe over my body, grateful that I'd been given one three sizes too large. I sat in the driver's seat of my car and tried to force myself to go.<br /> I still felt the tug. That pull toward Kendrick. I wanted to race back to town, tell the pack I'd changed, and he was mine. But I couldn't let that happen. They could never know what I was. Who I was. I leaned over painfully to turn the key in the ignition, it roared to life. I had to stay leaned to get steering column to switch gears and get the car into drive. I'd never been more grateful to have an automatic with a steering wheel gear shift. I didn't know how I'd have managed if I'd had to try to shift from the center.<br /> I put the car in drive and let my foot off the gas. I had to focus. I had to get out of here. Away from the pack. I needed to get to Easterville. Only a thousand miles to go before I could sleep.<br /> <br /> Lee <br /> December Present day<br /> "And you have to charge it?"my mother was fascinated with my bionic hand. She asked me to show her all the articulating movements to prove that I was truly able to function.<br /> "How did you afford this?"she asked still mesmerized by the technology.<br /> Evan laughed, "One of our regulars, Louie, got together with a couple other regulars, who got together with the town council, and they hosted a huge carnival fundraiser called โBionic Barmaid' and raised enough money for a fancy new arm, as well as a small repair fund.โ<br /> I was still incredibly humbled by the generosity of the town, "That Louie,"was all I could manage to say.<br /> "Wow,"my mother agreed, "That is... wow,"after a few minutes of us silently eating she finally asked the question she wanted to ask, "How did you... how did...โ<br /> Evan raised his eyebrow at me, "She doesn't know?"I shrugged.<br /> A growl rose low in Evan's throat, "Evan, you're scaring her,"I hissed. <br /> "Lee's wolf chewed it off after it got caught in a trap,"Evan growled. My mother's eyes widened, and she looked at me with a renewed interest.<br /> "That can't be,"she muttered, lost in thought. "Oh, it can be and if that jerk ever sho-โ<br /> "Evan!"I shouted, "Not now."Evan had no idea what a riled grizzly could do to a submissive wolf even if they both remained in human form.<br /> Evan stood abruptly from his chair, "I need to run the credit cards receipts from last night.โ<br /> After Evan disappeared into the back office my mother leaned over the table, "Who's Lee?โ<br /> "I'm Lee, mom,"I told her, "I go by my middle name here. I didn't want to be Aster the dud anymore.โ<br /> "You have a wolf, Aster...Lee?"she asked quickly correcting names.<br /> I nodded, ashamed.<br /> "When? How long?"she asked her eyes filled with joyous wonder, "You should come back with me. There's always a spot in the pack. Alpha Biel is such a-โ<br /> I shook my head quickly, "I can't come back with you.

She wanted a pack more than she wanted to breathe, I shook my head, "We can't go back.โ<br /> "What happened, Aster?""I can't tell you.โ<br /> "Can you at least tell me how long?โ<br /> "Since graduation,"I said hanging my head low. "No,"she breathed, "It can't be.โ<br /> I sagged in my chair, "You can't tell anyone-โ<br /> "You're the wolf from the trap,"she whispered, "Kendrick's mate.โ | LEARN_MORE | https://a.vampirefictions.com/ad/dmFtcGlyZW5vdmVsc | 111461702053888 | Vam005 | https://facebook.com/61550884130918 | 30 | 1 | 350,855,644,209,341 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | Vam005 | 120207451015050122 | a.vampirefictions.com | NONE | video | https://a.vampirefictions.com/ad/dmFtcGlyZW5vdmVscy8xNjgyNTMvMjAyNDA0MzAxMDAwNDgvcGFnZQ==?adid={{ad.id}} | 2024-04-29 21:04 | https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/438093872_794048322819137_76276217884134590_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=nWx-KZAk9FoQ7kNvgEnFFP2&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfBg12sxBAI_eNXWoZr7hbdTbxPByUJ7vdL5zq6ni8fDcQ&oe=663A816E | person_profile | 0 | Vam005 | https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/438096249_778478771048092_7845429260793034379_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=qspQvgs91b4Q7kNvgHE6Ino&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfCk96MJ8lg6DT5Ngq81jXjLM6SpZPFB0M2Elh_wIdpG6Q&oe=663A66C1 | 0 | 3 | Vam005 | 0 | 0 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||

Yes | 2024-05-03 04:04 | active | 665 | 0 | 995672648752737 | ๐ฅ๐ฅ Click to Read ๐๐ป๐๐ป | "Don't walk away from me, Zell," Kosta yelled.<br /> "Why not? You don't need me. You have Khalis here to take care of all your needs. She is welcome to you. I hope you all will be very happy together. As for me, I'm done. Good luck to you and this pack. I hope you can handle the fallout for you and your bimbo's actions."<br /> "Mind how you talk to me, Zell. I may be your mate, but I am still the alpha. As a matter of fact, as of right now, I am stripping you of all of your luna privileges."<br /> I spat. "You should know, you didn't deprive me of Luna's title, but I didn't want it myself. I no longer want it. As for the business, have you forgotten that I own 51% of every business we have? I will withdraw all of my personal finances from the pack."<br /> "Oh, and Alpha, You, of all people, know how ruthless I can be if pushed."<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> "Well Zel, I just wanted to let you know that I plan on being the Luna of this pack, and your days as Kosta's mate and luna are numbered. I have decided that I deserve to be luna of the third strongest pack in the nation. I mean why should you get everything and I get stuck with nothing?" Khalis says.<br /> <br /> Is this bimbo serious? I just sat there staring at her for a few seconds. Not much shocks me, but this is something else. I knew Khalis was selfish, but this is on a whole other level. There have been rumors about Khalis sleeping with mated males, but I always gave her the benefit of the doubt. I never thought we would be having this kind of conversation. We have been friends since elementary school. Her father and brothers are elite warriors in my father's pack. She was with me when Kosta declared we were mates. She even encouraged me to go with him when he begged me and my father to let me come to his pack with him before I turned 18. She moved to this pack with me, hoping to meet her own mate. She knows Kosta is my fated mate. The moon goddess chose for him me. We both have known Kosta for most of our lives. Kosta is one of my brother's best friends. I keep thinking about everything we have done together and now this bimbo is sitting in my office telling me she plans to take my mate. I'm really speechless. This is a new low, even for her.<br /> <br /> "Just so that I am clear, what exactly do you mean that you want my goddess-given mate and title," I asked.<br /> <br /> "I mean exactly what I said. I want Kosta. I want to be his luna and I am going to make that happen. I've already started the process. I deserve to be a luna."<br /> <br /> "So you just want to come in here and tell me that you want my mate? What about your own mate? Have you thought about that? If the goddess meant for you to be a luna, you would have been fated to an alpha."<br /> <br /> "I waited for my mate. I gave the goddess a chance to do right by me. She gave everyone around me an Alpha. My sister got one, my little ugly cousin got one and even you got one, but what did I get? I got a lowly elite warrior as a mate." She spat.<br /> <br /> "How can you speak like that about elite warriors? Your father and your brother are elite warriors."<br /> <br /> "I know, and I deserve better than that. I deserve to be a luna. I deserve to have people respect me and cater to me."<br /> <br /> "Well, obviously the goddess did not agree with you," I said. "Just to clarify, you're saying that even though you found your destined mate, the one that was made specifically for you by the goddess, you're still interested in my mate? You are unbelievable. What is wrong with you?"<br /> <br /> "It's simple. I'm not meant to be the mate of a warrior. I am meant to be a luna. The moon goddess got it wrong and I am correcting her mistake. As soon as I scented my fated mate and realized he was a warrior, I rejected him and he accepted my rejection. Good riddance."<br /> <br /> "So you think you know better than the goddess?" I asked.<br /> <br /> I am still somewhat shocked. I have a hard time reconciling this cold-blooded bimbo to the person that has been my best friend for over a decade.<br /> <br /> "Zell, I told you a long time ago not to trust her. She has always been this person. She just pretended with you." Sapphire said.<br /> <br /> "This isn't personal, Zell. It's simple since the moon goddess did not give me an alpha, I'm going to take one."<br /> <br /> This bimbo is sitting here calmly telling me she is going to take my mate from me like we are talking about going shopping. She actually thinks this is ok. How could I have been so blind for so long? Everyone tried to warn me about her, but she was my only friend and I just didn't want to believe that about her. I convinced myself that the others were just jealous of her.<br /> <br /> "Do you really think it is ok to try to break your best friend's mate bond?" I say.<br /> <br /> "Oh Honey, I'm not going to try. I'm going to do it. He will be mine. I'm just giving you the courtesy of walking away with your dignity. You might as well start making arrangements for yourself because once I am the luna, there is no way that I will let you remain in my pack. He may keep some tender feelings for you. After all, you are fated."<br /> <br /> "You got one thing right; Kosta and I are fated. You are not the first she-wolf to try to break our mate bond and since he is an alpha, I'm sure you won't be the last. I will tell you what I tell them all, If you can get Kosta to cheat on our bond, you can have him. If he can do that, then he is not the man I have believed him to be and wouldn't deserve me. You would be welcome to him. Just remember, it is because of me and my family that this pack is ranked third. All of that goes with me, but you would be more than welcome to whatever is left." I say.<br /> <br /> "It's not an if, it's a when it happens. And when you leave, Kosta will still be the alpha of this pack. You will just be the ex-luna of the pack. I will be the luna."<br /> <br /> "That's where you are wrong. I am alpha born; a pure-blooded alpha. If I leave, I will still be an alpha and you will still be that bimbo on the side. Some males may be dumb enough to sleep with you, but I have not seen any of the mate men you've been accused of leaving their mates for you. Even the ones who got rejected didn't choose to be with you. Now I suggest you leave my office while I am still being nice or else you will find out why I am feared by others. And if you are successful, don't think for a minute that my family will let either of you go."<br /> <br /> "I will leave for now. Enjoy this office while it is still yours. Your arrogance will be your downfall. Why should I fear you or your family? They have not even been around since your luna ceremony. I'll give you 1 week to make arrangements for yourself. In 7 days, all of this will be mine and you will be out. I will break you and completely disgrace you. I have to thank you for working so hard to build this pack up for me to take over. I will be sure to enjoy the fruit of your labor. I and my children will enjoy this. I am glad he listened to me early on when I told him to wait to have children so you could live your life first. I had to set the groundwork just in case. Now it's time for you to go before you give him an heir." Khalis says and walks out of my office like nothing happened.<br /> <br /> She has caused a lot of chaos since coming to this pack. I just didn't realize her character before now. I thought she was misunderstood. Now I know I was just naรฏve. It appears that I was the only person blind to her true nature.<br /> <br /> I spent the rest of the day working on pack security and setting up meetings. There are a few alphas wanting an alliance with us. Kosta and I have become quite the power couple in the werewolf society. Since we took over as alpha and luna, the pack and the businesses have grown tremendously. I put my heart and soul into making our pack the best. I got an early start. I graduated from high school when I was 16 and went to university. I graduated with a business degree at 20. Kosta has let me take the lead in our businesses. He knows that beast at negotiation and a whiz at growing businesses. I have acquired several new companies since working in the pack business. Kosta is still the CEO, but I am the COO of the company. I broker the deals and then call Kosta in to close the deal. Most alphas in our circle are jealous of Kosta because he has me at his side. Kosta used to be proud of me and what I did for the pack, but lately he has been resisting the changes I have been making and trying to take over more of the daily operations of the pack. He can't take it all because I am the sole financial backing of the pack and the businesses.<br /> <br /> I am known in werewolf society as a child prodigy, but don't get it twisted, I am not all brains. I can be very deadly when needed. I train every day. I am one of the strongest wolves alive, although I keep that hidden. I can be ruthless, but fair. I know that I am the total package. I am athletic, tall with curves in the right places. I've never been one to compete with other she-wolves. I thought I was happy and had a good life. I thought Khalis was happy. We used to talk about finding our fated mates. I just can't understand how or why Khalis would try to come between me and my mate. I wish I could believe that my bond was safe and solid, but Sapphire is right about Kosta acting suspiciously lately. Kosta has been questioning me a lot lately. It's like he woke up a different person one day. He suddenly lost trust in me, but I have never given him a reason to doubt me. I have found him outside of my door listening to business phone calls, which is crazy because he could just walk in at any time and join the conversation. I have never hidden anything I was doing from him. The worse thing is that our life is now nonexistent. Kosta is always too busy or too tired. His behavior has led me to believe that he is not attracted to me anymore. He had the nerve to ask me why I have been trying so hard to seduce him lately. Like he didn't just stop making love to me cold turkey all of a sudden. We went from making love every day, sometime multiple times a day, to nothing in over a month. Seems like he should have been worried if I didn't try to seduce him. I don't know any mated pair that has gone this long without being intimate with each other. I don't know what the issue is. If we were not marked, I would wonder if he was cheating, but I know he is not. I would have felt it. Why did all of this suddenly become so hard? Why do I even need to seduce my goddess-given mate? It was never supposed to be this way. At least not yet. I'm only 20 years old. Much too young to be going through a dry spell while mated.<br /> <br /> I got so desperate at one time I asked our friends what was going on with him. Kosta tells his beta and gamma everything. I figured if there was a problem, they would tell me and I could fix it, but they just said that he was under a lot of stress. What exactly does he have to stress about? The pack is doing better than it has been in years. In half a year, the pack will be self-sufficient again and won't need to depend on my finances to keep it afloat. I have everything set in motion for the pack to have more disposable cash and residual income. I have a feeling this has Khalis written all over it. Kosta appears to have fallen in line with her already. Maybe this was their plan all along. Kosta needed me to get his pack back on track and now that they are almost completely independent, they don't need me anymore. If that's the case, they are in for a rude awakening. My six-month plan depends on me closing several more deals. All of these deals are allies with my father, uncle, and grandfather. They will not work with Kosta if our bond falls apart. He would erase everything that I have done over the past three years. Well, that would be his problem.<br /> <br /> I got so caught up in working and thinking; I didn't realize I worked up to dinner time. No one called me for lunch. In fact, no one called me for dinner. That is strange. One of the omegas usually checks on me when I am working too much and makes sure I am eating. I guess everyone is following Kosta. Since he has not been showing me any care, they are not either. That really hurts. I sacrificed a lot for this pack. I thought they cared more than this for me. I should just go back to my room. I don't know if I want to be around this pack right now, especially if they could turn their backs on me this quickly. Were they all just using me for my family's wealth?<br /> <br /> "We need to eat Zell. Remember, we are eating for our pup as well. Don't let them win. We are better than this. If they show us they don't want us here, we will leave. Remember, we are alpha born. We will rise above this. We will go back to where we are celebrated. If they turn against us, they don't deserve us. We will sit back and let them destroy themselves."<br /> <br /> "You are right Sapphire. Let's go eat. Our pup needs sustenance."<br /> <br /> I went and cleaned myself up and walked to the dining room. As soon as I walked through the door, all the talking stopped. The whole place went silent. As I walked all the way in, I saw why everyone went silent. Khalis was sitting in my seat, putting food on Kosta's plate like she is the luna. When she saw me, she just smirked and kept doing what she was doing. Kosta just keep eating like I was not standing there. Sapphire stared, pushing forward. She wanted blood. I did too, but I have to think about our pup.<br /> <br /> "What is going on, Kosta? Why is she sitting in my seat feeding you?" I growled.<br /> <br /> "I meant no harm, Zell. You were busy, so I decided to take care of Kosta for you. Someone needs to care for him while you are caring for other things. "<br /> <br /> "I was speaking to my mate, not his bimbo on the side."<br /> <br /> "You were not here for your mate, so I have been taking care of his needs."<br /> <br /> Sapphire pushed forward and growled loudly. Everyone in the room bowed their neck to her.<br /> <br /> "I could kill you in less than 30 seconds, Khalis. I would advise you not to keep crossing my line and you will find yourself very dead. You obviously have forgotten who I am. Don't make me remind you what my family name is," Sapphire said.<br /> <br /> I regained control and looked at Kosta. He didn't even appear to be concerned. He didn't show an ounce of regret or remorse. That took a little of the fight out of me. Khalis can only do what Kosta allows her to do.<br /> <br /> "Kosta, I asked you a question. What is going on?"<br /> <br /> "As Khalis said, you were busy, so she came to do your job for you. If you spent more time catering to me, your mate, and less time working or whatever you are doing, Khalis wouldn't have to step in and take care of my needs." Kosta said.<br /> <br /> I and every pack member gasped. I could not believe he openly disrespected me like that after everything I have done for him and this pack. I did all of that for him. This ungrateful hip.<br /> <br /> "So now I'm working too much, making your pack financially secure? You were not complaining when the pack was bankrupted and I worked day and night just so you could feed the pack another day. I was working too hard then. It's only now that you think the pack is out of the woods that I am working too hard. Now that everyone is comfortable and not at risk of starving, you want to change. Ok, I see who you are now. So instead of appreciating the sacrifices I made for us and the pack, you are sitting here with your bimbo, enjoying the feast that my hard work made possible. I am glad I finally understand where your priorities lie. Trust me, I will never make the same mistake twice." I said and walked away.<br /> <br /> I need to get out of here before I wolf out and kill one of them. After tonight, Khalis can have him. He is not the male I thought he was. I refuse to fight for someone who can spit on all the effort I put into making him great.<br /> <br /> "Don't walk away from me, Zell," Kosta yelled.<br /> <br /> "Why not? You don't need me. You have Khalis here to take care of all your needs. She is welcome to you. I hope you all will be very happy together. As for me, I'm done. Good luck to you and this pack. I hope you can handle the fallout for you and your bimbo's actions."<br /> <br /> "Mind how you talk to me, Zell. I may be your mate, but I am still the alpha. As a matter of fact, as of right now, I am stripping you of all of your luna privileges."<br /> <br /> "Alpha, what are you doing?" Beta James asked<br /> <br /> "Mind your business Beta. This is my pack." Kosta says.<br /> <br /> "Yes, and as your beta and friend, it is my job to tell you when you are making a mistake. Alpha, you are dangerously close to crossing the line of no return. Let's all calm down and discuss this later." Beta James said.<br /> <br /> "Beta, my word stands. Zel, until you learn to respect me as your alpha, you can forget about representing this pack in any aspect. I will be instructing the security team to restrict all of your access. You are no longer the COO of our businesses. As of now, you are just a regular pact member with no power."<br /> <br /> "First of all Alpha." I spat. "Respect is earned. While you are trying to throw your weight around, you can have the luna title back. I no longer want it. As for the business, have you forgotten that I own 51% of every business we have? I also provide 60% of the pack budget from my personal accounts. So while you can restrict my duties as Luna, you cannot touch the business, but I'll do you a solid. You can buy me out of the business and I will withdraw all of my personal finances from the pack."<br /> <br /> I can see that he had forgotten how dependent his pack was on me, but oh well. He made his bed. Now he and his bimbo can lie in it.<br /> <br /> "Oh, and Alpha, if you try to strong-arm me, I will have to call in the full loan that I gave this pack when we mated. Remember, we signed a contract for the loan. You have only paid me a small portion of the loan and I have not pushed the issue, but the contract is legal and binding. Don't push me, Kosta. You, of all people, know how ruthless I can be if pushed."<br /> <br /> I walked off again and made it as far as the stairs. I realized that I could not stay in my current room anymore. There is no way on this goddess-green earth that I want to be in a room with Kosta. Not that he has really shared it with me lately. Now I know why. Khalis has been feeding him and he has been eating it up. They both miscalculated. They thought I would be leaving here with nothing. The jokes on them. I may have been in love, but there is no love in business. I may have put my all into saving this pack and making it independently wealthy, but my parents did not raise a fool and I protected my finances. I invested millions in this company and pack. Did he really think I would protect my money? Does he not remember the prenup my father made him sign since I was a minor when he brought me to this pack? He never gained control over my finances.<br /> <br /> Khalis just showed her hand. After what I just saw, she has a right to be confident. Kosta has completely changed. He is not the man that I mated. He is not the boy that I followed around when I was younger. I don't know what happened or when he changed. Maybe this is who he really is and, like with Khalis, I just never saw his true self. He must have hidden it from my father and brother as well. There is no way they would have let me come here when I was 17 if they knew this was how he would end up treating me. I can see now that it is over between Kosta and me. I need to start planning my exit. I pulled up my computer and moved all of my finances from the pack accounts. I closed all the joint accounts I had with Kosta. It was mostly my money that financed them. I left the ones that he financed in his name. I don't want anything from him at all. After I handle business, I call my brother. I will need his help to leave here safely. Now that Kosta knows that all the money is still tied up with me, I doubt he will let me leave easily. I'm sure he and the bimbo are plotting up something.<br /> <br /> I called my brother and tall him waht happened.<br /> <br /> "So what's the plan, baby sis?" my brother answered.<br /> <br /> "Well, I have already moved all of my personal money from the pack accounts. They are now responsible for themselves. I'm not sure how that is going to go over. I was covering most of the pack's budget. Tomorrow, I will contact my attorneys to protect all of my other assets.

would drive Logan insane.<br /> He was not able to find me, the love of his lifeโฆ<br /> ---<br /> 'Sometimes the strongest women are the ones who love beyond all faults, cry behind closed doors and fight battles that nobody knows about'<br /> ~ Farzana Baig<br /> <br /> Italy.<br /> Spain.<br /> France.<br /> England.<br /> Australia.<br /> There are so many amazing options but I can only pick one yet whichever one I pick is one which could strongly impact the rest of my life or at least the next few years of my life because this isn't just a vacation, it's more of a temporary staycation.<br /> "Can I help you, ma'am?"<br /> An effeminate voice with a southern twang asks me.<br /> I narrow my eyes from the board on the wall to the young man behind the desk who was looking at me with a big, bright smile on his glossy lips.<br /> "Actually, you can...do you fancy playing Russian roulette with me?"<br /> I ask him with a smile and he looks at me like I've lost my qmind.<br /> "Ma'am...this is an airport, it's not a casino"<br /> He says and I chuckle.<br /> "I know that, sir, I'm just looking to get away from New York for a little while but I'm stuck on where to go"<br /> I say and he rolls his eyes in a jokey and semi-serious kind of way.<br /> "Let me guess, you're running away from a boy?"<br /> "Got it in one"<br /> I say while nodding my head and smiling.<br /> Dylan Tate is definitely a little boy.<br /> Grown men who are mature don't do what he did.<br /> "You really shouldn't let a man run you out of your own home, honey because the moment you give a man that type of power and control, it's hard to get it back"<br /> "Well, it's kind of hard to stay here when my fiance screwed my brother behind my back"<br /> I say angrily while smiling a sad and pained smile as the guy behind the desk gasps dramatically and clutches at his invisible pearls.<br /> "Oh my"<br /> He says as he straightens his jacket and looks at me with a shocked and sympathetic expression.<br /> "Well, if I can make a suggestion...London is always beautiful at this time of year"<br /> London.<br /> I think to myself as I smile a real and genuine smile.<br /> This is the first time in four whole weeks that I've smiled like this.<br /> I've always wanted to visit London, England but for some reason, it just never happened.<br /> "The UK has also got a lot of historical and cultural spots if you're interested in that type of stuff, not to mention their nightlife is lit"<br /> He says the last bit while doing a little twerk before quickly getting himself together and looking around to see if anyone had seen him do it.<br /> "Sorry ma'am, that wasn't professional at all"<br /> "Don't worry about it"<br /> I said while chuckling.<br /> "It looks like I'm going to London then, when does the next flight leave?"<br /> "In twenty minutes, ma'am"<br /> "Great, book me a seat please, oh and make sure it's one way"<br /> I say and the guy looks up at me with sympathetic eyes.<br /> He then arranges my ticket for me and books me on the next flight to London.<br /> I was so excited but I was also feeling really nervous as well, especially when I was handed my ticket and I was told what gate I had to go to.<br /> The reason why I felt this way is because this meant it was real, I was really leaving not just New York but also America, my home and right now with how I'm feeling, it's going to be for good.<br /> I thank the worker who wishes me good luck as I head towards my gate and take a seat letting out a sigh as I did.<br /> The past four weeks have been super freaking crazy and stressful for me and I just can't wait to get away for a little while so that I can get over recent events, get myself together and work on myself mentally.<br /> I take a sip of my water as my mind drifts back to four weeks ago when all of this mess started.<br /> My fiance Dylan Tate and I were hosting our engagement party at the Ritz Carlton and it was supposed to be the party of the century.<br /> The Carpenter, Black and Tate families are the top three most powerful, influential and richest families in New York's elite and the fact that two of these families were joining together through marriage was a big freaking deal but I didn't care about any of that.<br /> I loved Dylan and I had loved him ever since I first set my eyes on him when I was sixteen, we were childhood sweethearts and had dated each other ever since our high school days.<br /> He's the love of my life, the man of my dreams, so when he proposed to me in Bali, the answer was a given and I couldn't have been any happier but then my whole world came crashing down the night of my engagement party, the night that was supposed to be one of the best nights of my life turned into pure hell.<br /> What happened was, Dylan had gone AWOL right before we were supposed to make the official announcement, so I went looking for him but I wasn't expecting to see what I saw when I finally found him.<br /> I found Dylan in our hotel room with my brother Luca and both had nothing on.<br /> I can't even begin to describe to you how painful it was to see the love of my life and my beloved older brother who I love so freaking much entangled the way that they were.<br /> I was so heartbroken and devastated that I didn't even stay to hear their sorry excuses.<br /> I quickly left the room and the hotel altogether because honestly, there's nothing they could say or even do that would be good enough for me to accept or even forgive.<br /> After I left the hotel, I went to a nearby bar where I drank all of my pain and sorrows away.<br /> I ended up getting so freaking drunk that I found myself in a hotel room losing my innocence to some strange guy or at least that's what I thought at the time.<br /> When I woke up the next morning, I realised the guy who I had been intimate with and gave my precious flower to was none other than New York's most eligible bachelor Logan Black who is also the best friend of my eldest brother Justin.<br /> I was in so much shock and I couldn't believe I had been with Logan.<br /> I instantly freaked out and panicked because I didn't know how Logan was going to react when he woke up and realised he'd had been with me, the girl he had always seen as his younger sister and I really didn't wanna to stay to find out, so I quickly got dressed and left the hotel room.<br /> I then went home where of course, I found out I was the villain of my story because I had left my engagement party without a word and had shown up the next morning literally doing the walk of shame.<br /> My parents questioned me about where I had been? who I had been with? why did I leave? how could I embarrass the Carpenter and Tate familys the way that I did? you know all that blah, blah, blah BS.<br /> Of course, Luca and Dylan didn't say anything and they were only too happy to throw me to the wolves which broke my heart even further because they were supposed to love me, yet they didn't care and they stood there allowing me to take the brunt of the blame for last night when it was all their fault.<br /> Anyway, I took all of the abuse and all hell broke loose when I told them that the wedding was off and I didn't want to marry Dylan anymore which angered my parents, more specifically my dad who hit me for the first time in my life and he demanded or I should say he commanded me to still go through with the wedding.<br /> Even that fake piece of trash Dylan acted like a love-sick victim and begged me not to cancel the wedding and even had the nerve to say he'd forgive me, you know ME for MY indiscretions, the cheeky man but I refused to budge even despite my dad's determination for it to still go ahead.<br /> I didn't wanna fight them anymore, so I let them all think they had won, so while everyone was planning the wedding of the century, I was making plans of my own to leave and get away.<br /> I really didn't want to leave because at the end of the day, my family are still my family and I love them so much but I knew I could never forgive them, especially Luca.<br /> Luca was my best friend growing up and I was the closest to him out of all of my brothers which is why this is so devastating to me.<br /> It's also the reason why I stopped myself from publically dragging Luca and Dylan out of the closet and outing them to the world so that everyone would know I wasn't the big, bad wolf in this story because deep down inside of me, I still do love them both and I don't want to hurt either of them.<br /> There's also another reason why I'm leaving or I should say this was the final nail in the coffin if you will and that reason is because I'm pregnant with Logan's baby.<br /> I knew my parents would flip their lids when they found out and they'd either assume Dylan is the father and would use my baby to make the wedding happen sooner or they'd wanna know who the real father is and if they learned Logan is the father then they'd force me to marry him to save face.<br /> I didn't want either of those options, I didn't want Dylan and I didn't want Logan, I just wanted me and my baby, so I packed a bag and grabbed as much cash as I could because I didn't wanna take any cards with me in case they tried to track me down and I headed straight for JFK airport hoping to start a new life.<br /> I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard the boarding call for my flight.<br /> I let out a breath and smiled as I thought to myself this is it whilst placing a hand on my stomach.<br /> "It's just you and me from now on my little angel"<br /> I take a final deep breath in and slowly release it before standing up and grabbing my bags.<br /> I then head towards my gate and my new life in London, England.<br /> Six Years Later...<br /> <br /> "KIDS!!, BREAKFAST IS READY!!"<br /> "OK, MUM!!"<br /> I plate up mine and the kid's breakfasts and place them on the table along with four cups of orange juice and a cup of coffee for myself.<br /> I was grabbing a few condiments for the table when my three babies came barrelling into the room with my youngest son Dayton looking like he was going to a Marvel or DC convention.<br /> "Dayton baby, I thought I told you all to get ready for school?"<br /> "You did and I did"<br /> He said cheekily and I rolled my eyes.<br /> "Son, you can't wear your Batman mask and cape to school"<br /> "Why not? I look cool"<br /> He says and I chuckle.<br /> "Yes I know you do, son but you can't just wear it"<br /> "Why not?"<br /> "Because it's the rules, Dayton, we have to wear our school uniforms and nothing else"<br /> My one and only baby girl says before taking a sip of her drink.<br /> "But Elijah gets to wear his Spiderman costume every day, mum"<br /> "That's because Elijah is autistic, baby and the school are trying to make his school life a little bit easier and make it as comfortable as possible for him"<br /> I tell him for the umpteenth time and he drops his head in defeat.<br /> "Ok, fine...can I wear it after school?"<br /> He asks and I smile.<br /> "Of course, you can"<br /> I bend down and give him a kiss.<br /> "Now come and eat your breakfast before it gets all cold and soggy"<br /> "Ok, mum"<br /> Dayton and I take our seats and my eldest baby, my firstborn Logan couldn't resist making a comment about his brother's attire.<br /> "You look like a nerd, Dayton"<br /> "Says the one who is reading a chemistry book at the breakfast table"<br /> "It's biology actually and it doesn't hurt to want to warm your brain up before school"<br /> "That makes no sense at all"<br /> Dayton says while rolling his eyes.<br /> "Actually it does, Dayton, it's just like when you go to the gym, you warm up first, right? Logan reading a book before school is like a warm-up for him to go and learn"<br /> Why did that make so much sense?.<br /> I mean, don't get me wrong, my babies are smart, actually, they're super smart, so it shouldn't be surprising or shocking to me that they'd say something clever but it is every single time.<br /> "Ok guys, knock it off and eat, please"<br /> We all eat our food and I couldn't keep my eyes off my three bundles of joy as we ate.<br /> It was one of the biggest shocks of my life when I found out I was expecting triplets and I near fainted in the doctor's office, especially when my mind started going into overdrive about things like giving birth but thankfully the pregnancy and the birth went better than I expected because I had my best friend Carmella there with me and she's been there for me ever since.<br /> My kids are my entire life and have been ever since I left New York six years ago.<br /> I've got two handsome boys and a beautiful little girl who have all just turned five years old and they're the lights of my life.<br /> My eldest son is Logan David Junior, yes I named him after his biological father and his paternal grandfather David Black which is something that I never planned on doing at first but as soon as I gave birth to him and I held him for the very first time, I knew that I couldn't give him any other name.<br /> Logan is my quiet child and he's very introverted compared to his siblings, he also loves to learn new things and is always either studying, reading a book, watching educational programmes or looking up something educational on the internet.<br /> He's not as sociable as his brother and sister but he still likes to have fun and hang out with other kids his age just as long as he knows and trusts them.<br /> My baby is also obsessed with science and computers and is constantly learning the ins and outs of them both, hence why he's currently reading a biology book while he's eating his eggs.<br /> All three of my kids are very skilled musically and Logan is one hell of a pianist.<br /> He's won so many awards for it and he even performed at the Royal Albert Hall for the Royal Variety performance in front of the royal family last year which made me one hell of a proud momma wolf.<br /> Then there's my youngest son Dayton James who is named after my father.<br /> Dayton is my little troublemaker, he's my cheeky child who has got one hell of a smartass mouth and he loves to joke around and play pranks on people which I hate and I'm trying to knock it out of him but it's hard, especially when he religiously watches Home Alone because he says the main character Kevin is his idol.<br /> I really should've given Dayton the middle name Liam after my big brother because he's just like his uncle in every way possible, even his laugh is the same as Liam's.<br /> Despite being a Johnny Knoxville in training, Dayton is a mathematician which is something he must've gotten from his dad because I'm dumb as a chicken when it comes to numbers, he also loves the drums which fits perfectly with his personality and lately, he's been taking air guitar lessons with a tutor.<br /> Then there's my little princess, my daughter Teddy Louise who I named after my mom.<br /> Teddy is a little girly girl who is obsessed with Disney, she loves to get dressed up and look pretty but she's also not afraid to get her hands dirty.<br /> She loves it when it rains because she gets to stomp around in puddles but her favourite weather is when it snows because she loves to build snowmen and make snow angels.<br /> Teddy also loves to bake and can make pretty much anything but her favourite thing to bake is cupcakes because she loves to decorate them with different icing and sprinkles.<br /> She's obsessed with many forms of art and loves to learn about the history of different famous artists, especially the likes of Picasso and Van Gogh, they really intrigue her for some reason.<br /> Teddy also loves to play the flute and can play many different beautiful melodies on it but she's not as into it as her older brothers are with their instruments.<br /> All three of my kids are incredibly smart and they attend a special school for the gifted after they were referred there by their previous school when they all started showing signs of being child prodigies.<br /> I always knew my kids were special and were more intelligent than most other kids their ages but I never in my wildest dreams would have ever thought that one let alone all three of my babies would be child prodigies because I always believed they were rare like one in a million type of rare, yet I managed to birth three, that's crazy.<br /> "Mum"<br /> Dayton's cute, adorable voice broke me from my thoughts.<br /> "Yes, baby"<br /> "Can I have some more juice, please?"<br /> "Of course you can, do you two want some more as well?"<br /> I ask Logan and Teddy who nod their hands.<br /> I grab the jug of juice and fill up their glasses before sitting back down in my chair.<br /> "Thanks, mum"<br /> My babies said in unison while smiling and I smiled back at them.<br /> "You're welcome, babies"<br /> I said as I heard a noise coming from the front door which I knew was the mail.<br /> I once again get up from my chair and go to see what junk I've been sent today.<br /> I wasn't expecting anything important because all of my bills have been paid for and are up to date, so I wasn't expecting anything more than just junk mail and takeaway leaflets which they seriously need to stop giving us, the internet is a thing, folks.<br /> I let out a breath as I look through the pile but my eyes narrowed and I was confused/scared when one of the letters caught my attention for several reasons.<br /> The first reason is because of the American stamps and the address which are in the corners of the envelope.<br /> The latter is something the majority of the UK don't do, so that struck me as odd and the second reason is the very familiar handwriting on it which I immediately recognised as my grandfather Joseph's handwriting.<br /> My heart was beating a mile a minute and my anxiety had spiked as I continued to look at the envelope and they got worse as my fingers danced over the Christmas stamp which had been used to seal the letter.<br /> I didn't know what was in the letter but it was enough to make me feel panicked and nervous because nobody from my previous life except for Carmella knows where I live now, so how in on earth has my grandpa found out where I am? and why is he writing to me? what does he want?.<br /> "Mum, we need to go, we're going to be late"<br /> Teddy says and I look up to see all three of my kids standing in the hallway putting on their coats, hats, scarves and gloves.<br /> It's December and the weather is cold which is something I'm used to as a native of New York but in the UK, the mornings always seem really bitter, so I make sure we're all wrapped up warm whenever we leave the house.<br /> I place the pile of letters on the side cabinet and go to put on my coat and accessories before grabbing my bag and making sure I've got everything I need including my phone, purse, house keys and car keys.<br /> "Are you ready to go, babies?"<br /> "Yep"<br /> "Mmm-hmm"<br /> "Yes, mum"<br /> The kids all say at the same time.<br /> "Have you got your book bags and packed lunches?"<br /> I ask them and they all nod their heads.<br /> "Ok, let's go"<br /> We leave our home and head towards the car.<br /> I make sure all of the kids are safely strapped in before getting in myself, we then set off for their school as we sing along to the Christmas songs which were playing on the radio.<br /> Christmas has always been my favourite time of the year and it's also my kids favourite as well.<br /> This time of year is also always really bittersweet for me because Christmas with my family used to be amazing and we'd always have so much fun.<br /> It was the one time of the year when we'd all gather together and stay at my parent's mansion for the entire holiday and we'd celebrate it in style.<br /> I really wish I could go back to those times.<br /> There's nothing I'd love more than for my babies to have a REAL family Christmas with our family maybe even with their father and his family but I highly doubt this will happen anytime soon.<br /> <br /> It's crazy how fast our lives can change within the blink of an eye and sometimes you don't even know it's happening until it's already happened.<br /> The past six years have been a crazy whirlwind and I've had to get used to a lot of changes in my life since I moved to London but now I'm happily settled and living my best life, well, I'm living as great of a life as I possibly can without my beloved family here with me.<br /> There was a time when my family and I were extremely close, we would always see and talk with each other every day and we always did anything and everything for one another but all of that changed and I saw a totally different side to my family after Dylan and Luca's betrayal.<br /> I always used to think I had the perfect family, the perfect parents, the perfect grandparents and the perfect older brothers and in a way, I still feel that way about them but I also can't forget the immediate change in them when I found out my older brother was screwing my fiance.<br /> The betrayal left me a heartbroken mess and it changed my entire life forever, it also changed all of the plans I had made for my future.<br /> Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a school teacher, I wanted to teach the future generation and prepare them for the next stages of their lives.<br /> A few months before everything happened six years ago, I was offered a place at one of the best colleges in New York to get my teaching degree but then my relationship broke down and the perfect future I had planned with Dylan had gone up in flames along with everything else.<br /> I no longer had any desire to get my teaching degree but I needed to find a steady income so that I could provide for myself and the triplets because I knew my savings which was a very substantial amount of money wouldn't last me forever.<br /> I wasn't used to living like this because I was born a millionaire heiress, I had always lived a life of luxury and I never had to worry about anything, so to now live knowing money was running out was kind of scary, especially since I now had three extra mouths to feed and I didn't want my kids to grow up differently to how I did.<br /> Don't get me wrong I wasn't a spoiled little rich girl or anything like that but I lived a comfortable life with no worries and I wanted the same for my kids as well.<br /> I didn't want them to grow up worrying about things that they shouldn't have to which I know they would've done because they're really smart and they would've immediately sensed when something was wrong.<br /> Anyway, I knew I needed to make some decent money and fast but I didn't know how.<br /> That was until one day when I was watching some soppy rom-com movie which was based on some old book and it unlocked a brand new passion inside of me, a passion which I never knew existed if I'm being perfectly honest with you.<br /> I always loved to read and loved nothing more than to get lost in a good book but I never once saw myself as a writer because I didn't think I was creative enough to be one.<br /> All of that changed as soon as I put pen to paper or my fingers to my laptop I should say and that's when magic happened.<br /> Within two months, I had finished and completed my first book The Billionaire's Secret Baby which later turned into a five-part series when my fans demanded more from me.<br /> The series was a huge hit and before I knew it, I was a world-famous author, I was successful and I was rolling in the money, most of which I've either invested or I've put into different bank accounts for me and my kids for when they're older.<br /> The rest of the money I used to buy us our current home and everything we needed to furnish it and I also bought myself a decent car as well.<br /> I mean, I'm not at Donald Trump's level of rich but I've got enough money for me and the triplets to live happy and comfortable lives together.<br /> Right now I'm in my office working on a new book and a new series but for some strange reason, I can't seem to concentrate and for the first time in my writing career, I've got writer's block.<br /> I let out a sigh as I take off my glasses and rub the bridge of my nose.<br /> This is so frustrating and annoying.<br /> The worst thing for a writer to experience is knowing what you want to write and how you want to write it but being unable to articulate it in the right way and have it make sense.<br /> There have been many times in the past where I've written something and when I've read it back I was baffled. this makes absolutely no sense.<br /> I looked back at the screen and decided I needed to take a break, so I got up and went into the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee and something to eat.<br /> I didn't really have much of an appetite but I knew if I didn't eat something now then I probably wouldn't have anything to eat until dinner later on which wouldn't do me any good.<br /> You need to be healthy in your mind, body and soul in order to do anything and I can't focus on writing a great story if I'm pushing myself without resting or eating.<br /> I was sitting on the couch and eating my food with the television on in the background which I wasn't watching, it was just on for background noise because I hate silence and that's all I ever seem to have in this house when the kids aren't here.<br /> Anyway, the T.V. quickly caught my attention when the annoying presenter with a high-pitched squeaky voice, who was wearing more make-up than a drag queen mentioned several familiar names which piqued my interest, one of which and the gossip about him almost had me choking on my coffee.<br /> "Hello everyone and welcome to the Hollywood Daily, it's been a busy week for many of the Hollywood elite, more specifically those within the affluent Carpenter and Black families"<br /> The presenter said with a huge grin on her face.<br /> The first piece of news she was gossiping about was my sister-in-law Sabrina launching two new clothing lines, one is a maternity line and one is for kids which will be released after Christmas.<br /> This will be her third and fourth lines that she's released, the first one being a bikini line and the second one was an undergarment line which she worked on with my mom.<br /> "Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen because the latest announcement from the Carpenter family is one that is going to break all of our precious little hearts, Luca Carpenter the youngest son of James and Louise Carpenter has come out as gay"<br /> This is the news which had me almost choking on my coffee.<br /> What does she mean he's come out as gay?.<br /> Didn't he do that six years ago?.<br /> "According to a statement released earlier today, Luca said it's taken me a very long time to finally accept who and what I am and now I can proudly say that I'm a gay man"<br /> Holy cow.<br /> "But that's not the most shocking part of the statement, the part which has left many of the public including fans of the family baffled and scratching their heads in confusion is when Luca also confessed his undying love for his soulmate and the love of his life Dylan Tate...does that name ring a bell? well, it should do because Dylan is the eldest son and heir of Lachlan and Sandra Tate and he's the former fiance of Luca's younger sister Lacey Carpenter who has been M.I.A for the past six years, are Luca and Dylan the reason for her disappearance from the limelight? has this love story been going on for a lot longer than the Carpenters want us to believe? this is something we may never know unless Luca, Dylan or even Lacey herself comes out and explains it to us"<br /> I can't believe this.<br /> It's a good job I legally changed my name six years ago before I gave birth to my kids because if I didn't, then this could have caused a lot of trouble for me and my kiddies.<br /> "Moving on, we've got everyone's favourite billionaire playboy Logan Black who is as much known for his dating life as he is for his wealth, businesses and modelling career, the fitness model and business mogul is known for having a different woman on his arm every week but is his bachelor life officially over? it seems so after the sexy hunk was spotted shopping at one of New York's most expensive jewellery stores with singer and actress GiGi Addams"<br /> What?.<br /> It hurt my heart to hear about Logan settling down with someone else, especially with a snake like GiGi Addams.<br /> Deep down in my heart, I knew why it hurt me so much but I just didn't want to admit to it.<br /> I had always had a crush on Logan ever since I was a kid and I think somewhere over the years, that crush manifested into something more but I really didn't want to confess to those feelings because he's my older brother's best friend and also because of Dylan, not to mention Logan is everything I hate in a man.<br /> He's cocky and conceited and he thinks if the world doesn't revolve around him then it should or at least that's how he was six years ago, I don't know if he's changed at all since I left the States.<br /> I couldn't help but smile a sad and bittersweet smile as the presenter continued to talk about my family and those who used to be close to me and it really hurt my heart because I miss them so freaking much and I hate hearing about them and what's new in their lives through channels like this.<br /> Changes are a natural part of life but sometimes it's the ones you weren't expecting that cause you the most pain and sorrow but also the most happiness as well.<br /> ...<br /> Open the app and continue reading the rest of the story . ๐<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book

You're going to apologize to Kelly and him. Do you really find that hard to do? How about lowering your self-esteem a little more?" he said.<br /> "I will stand by my words because they are the truth. What happened to your sister-in-law was her own doing, Theon, but no matter how much I plead with you, you never believe me. I really can't stand you anymore. Let's get a divorce. Did you hear it? I want you out of my life. I, Luciana Estelle Ortiz, finally reject you as my partner. You make me sick. "<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> "Kelly lost her child because of you!" Alpha Phillip said angrily. <br /> "What do you mean? I didn't do anything to her. Kelly is lying. She is just looking for someone to blame for her carelessness but I swear, I didn't push her," I countered to defend my innocent self from their harsh accusation. I looked up to Theon who was standing right beside me. My eyes, begged for him to take my side, to believe me this time.<br /> "You should be kneeling down for mercy, Estelle. Begging for us to forgive you but insteadโ"<br /> "I am sorry to be impolite but why would I do any of that thing? I am not at fault here," I cut him off and the alpha laughed sarcastically<br /> "Look at this woman you are calling your mate, Theon. If you weren't a fool and stubborn back then. You won't end up with her."<br /> I gasped in shock when Theon held me by my shoulder and pressed me down on the floor, forcing me to kneel before the Alpha.<br /> "Let go of me, Theon," I said in between gritted teeth, trying to wag his hand off my shoulder. He only held me down tighter as if his patience is about to run out too, "You can't force me to apologize to her. It is not my fault. Let me go!"<br /> "Kneel down or I am going to cut off the tie between us and reject you as my mate. Choose one, Lucianna Estelle," he whispered that made me lose all of my strength.<br /> I could not help it but smile bitterly as Theon's harsh words played on my mind like a broken record. By the way he stares at me, I already knew that he won't take my side but him telling me that he will cut off our bond and reject me as his mate is too much.<br /> Theon pressed me tighther on the floor, showing no mercy, not even a chance to look up and meet his father's eyes.<br /> I lost the count of times he have turned his back on me. Most of the time, I will let it slide and shrug it off like it didn't happen but not this time. I don't think I can easily forgive him.<br /> I am not really sure which is more painful. These scratches and tiny wound that I got in my knees or the bleeding of my heart. I never lied to them but why do they find it so hard to believe me?<br /> Alpha Phillip sighs heavily, "Let me ask you one more time, Estelle. Why did you push your sister-in law in the pool and cause her miscarriage?" I can still sense the raw anger on Alpha Phillip's voice that he is trying to mask with the calm look on his face.<br /> I finally find the courage to once again see him eye to eye. I straightened my back, redeeming my composure.<br /> "I am sorry," I murmured. Of course he is not pleased to hear those words from me, but the Alpha is satisfied that I am finally apologizing for the mistake that I didn't commit in the first place. That's what I thought.<br /> "I know you all want to hear that from me but as much as I hate to disappoint all of you. I have too. For the nth time. I am going to say it again and I will remain firm with my words and claim. I didn't push Kelly. It was her fault. She lost her baby because she was careless andโ" I closed my eyes. My heart jump out of its cage to runaway as shock consumed it.<br /> Alpha Phillip threw a porcelain vase in my direction. I was fortunate enough that it didn't hit me but it pieces flew threw my direction, leaving a scratch on the left side of my cheeks.<br /> My hand slowly crawl up to my cheek, trailing the blood that is coming out of my skin.<br /> "I can't believe how arrogant you have become, Estelle! Is it because your husband is close to becoming the Alpha of the pack? Because you are going to become the Luna? Is this why you are challenging me and my authority?" Alpha Phillip screamed angrily. His shoulder shakes and the color of his eyes changes from gray to golden brown, a sign that if I continue to get on his nerve. His wolf will take over and everything would be more chaotic.<br /> "Alpha," Theon called his father but the Alpha ignored him completely.<br /> "Drag her out of this room. Out of my house. Make her kneel outside of the house until she gives in and confess the truth!" Alpha Phillip announced.<br /> Warren, Alpha Phillip's most trusted delta immediately oblige his words. He grabbed me by my left arm and pulls me to stand up from kneeling.<br /> I silently follow Warren's guidance as my eyes silently watch everyone else. Alpha Phillip glance at his youngest son and shakes his head in disappointment. He is probably blaming Theon for my rude attitude.<br /> As soon as Alpha Phillip stormed out of the private hall. Warren let go of my arm. His eyes made a quick scanning on me and then he turned to his bestfriend, Theon.<br /> "Really, Ares Theon? You can't even say something to defend your wife? If the Alpha orders for his warrior to take her life, still you won't say anything, do you?" Warren mocked him.<br /> "It's her fault. What do you want me to do? If you were so worried about her then why didn't you say something? You too were quiet the whole time," Theon scoffed. He gazes at my direction one last time before he followed his father's footstep.<br /> "Between you two. It should be you who needs to cut the bond. When will you save your self from this, Estelle?" Warren asked. I smiled weakly at him.<br /> Warren no longer needs to walk me out of the house. I did it on my own. On the cobblestone in front of the pack house. I kneeled, with my knees pressing on the small stone in the pavement, wincing in pain and struggling to maintain in my position is expected.<br /> "Miss Elle, you have to do it properly says the young master." A pair of female omega came to my side. They didn't even try to hide those insulting smile that they had plastered on their lips as they talk.<br /> I darted a glare at them that they ignored on purpose, "You have to spread your arms as you kneel. That is the proper way."<br /> "Excuse me? That is a punishment for someone like you. How dare you insult me like this? Have you forgotten who I am?" I asked in between gritted teeth.<br /> They only look at each other and giggles.<br /> "Why are you getting mad at us? It's a word of your husband, Miss. Not ours. Also, we haven't forgotten who you are. You are the future Alpha's forsaken wife," she said.<br /> In time to that. The reason why the sky looks so dark and gloomy finally fall. Rain pours down and the two of them immediately rush themselves inside, leaving me all by myself.<br /> I lifted my arm and spread it on mid-air as I continued to kneel in front of the pack house.<br /> The rain started to fall harder. Strong and cold winds blew. All that is left for me to do to somehow keep myself warm is to hug my body.<br /> I heard from some of the servant that walked passed by me earlier that Alpha Phillip cancelled his birthday celebration because of what had happened and I am sure that everyone in the pack are blaming me for what had happened.<br /> I licked my lower lip. The rain has finally stop from pouring. Darkness spread in the sky like a wild fire. The omega that Theon asked to check on me as I am being harshly punish is now asleep.<br /> I have been in this position for God know's how long. I am dying to leave. My body is getting a lot weaker and I feel feverish. The coldness didn't left my body even though the rain is already gone. In fact, my whole body is trembling and my head is starting to feel terrible too.<br /> Now that there is no one watching me. I can choose to stand up and leave but my pride is taking over me. I would rather suffer than confess that I did something that I didn't do. Everyone has turned their back on me. I can't do the same thing to myself. If I can no longer give myself some respect and integrity. No one else would.<br /> "Estelle, you need to get through this. You have to be strong," I whispered to myself as drop of tears escaped from my eyes.<br /> Just when the lid of my eyes is about to close. I lightly shake my head to keep myself awake. I even bite my lower lip until I tasted blood coming out from it.<br /> The whole night had passed. My clothes that were once drenched and dripping because of the rain has dried off and the sun is starting to light up the whole world yet I am still kneeling. I could no longer feel my knees.<br /> I had my eyes glued on the cobblestone. It only moves when I saw a pair of leather shoes inches away from my bleeding knees. My eyes crawls from the pair of shoes up to his legs, upper body and finall to his chest.<br /> "Theon," I whispered my husband's name using the last drop of my strength and energy.<br /> He lowered his height so our face would met.<br /> "Will you now admit to your wrong doing, Estelle? Come on! Give up and say that you did it to Kelly so we'll be done and through. That is all what the alpha wants to hear. For you to apologize to Kelly and to him. Do you really find it hard to do? Lower your pride a little more, will you?" he said. I chuckled bitterly and look up to him with nothing but hatred and disgust.<br /> Theon was caught off-guard by the emotions in my eyes.<br /> "Do you really think that I am that gullible, Theon? Why would I let myself suffer overnight if I'll end up admiting that I am the one at fault? I'll stand firm with my words because that's the truth. The only person to blame for the tragedy that happened to your sister-in law is no one but herself, Theon... but you're never going to believe me no matter how I begged for you to listen to me," I took a pause and breathe deeply. I need to be courageous enough to open my mouth for the second time, "I really can't stand you anymore, Theon. Let's get a divorce. Do you hear me? I want you gone in my life. I, Lucianna Estelle Ortiz is finally rejecting you as my mate. I should have done this ages ago. I should have listen to my father when he told me that you are no good for me. He was right. The Moon God made a mistake making you my mate. You disgust me."<br /> This could be an impulsive decision because I am hurting at the moment but at the same time. I know too well that this is the only chance that I have. I need to walk away from Theon right now because I know that it would took me a thousand years to find the courage to leave him if I let this chance slide.<br /> I rose to my feet and slowly make my way inside of the pack house even though I can barely stand up.<br /> My inner wolf is crying and dying in pain at the same time as I packed everything that I own in this room inside of my luggagr bag. Once I am done, I zipped it up and my eyes landed on my ring finger.<br /> I closed my eyes to stop myself from crying. I removed the wedding band from my finger and left it on the side table.<br /> I am feeling dizzy and hot. It felt like any moment from now. I am going to lose my balance and fall to the ground because of my fever but I can't afford to stay here any longer.<br /> As I was dragging my luggages down the staircase. Theon happened to be walking upstairs. I immediately look away from his direction and continue to drag my luggage and myself out of the pack house that serves as my home for years.<br /> The deltas guarding the gate open them up for me. I looked back at the pack house as bitterness swirls in my system. Theon can no longer wait for me to leave this place. He even told their guards to let me leave as soon as I can.<br /> Of course he can't. Although I am his mate. His heart belongs to someone else. It belongs to Kelly and he never had the chance to had it back even if she was married to his older brother. Theon waited for his chance to be with her the way I am waiting for him to look at me the same way he looks at her.<br /> I am such a fool for hoping that something like that would happen.<br /> The moment I opened my eyes. I saw a white ceiling and that blinding white light. My body feels weak. It's aching all over, on the second thought. It's not my body that is making me weak and fragile but my wounded inner wolf who is mourning and grieving over the fact that I rejected her mate, Theon's inner wolf before they become intimate.<br /> That's right. Theon were never intimate with me and we were married for three years. The first time that he pecked me was when we got married and if I remember it right. That was the last time too.<br /> The door opened and when my eyes trails to that direction. I saw Beau, my childhood bestfriend walked in with a paperbag on his hand.<br /> "H-Hey," I greeted him. He walk straight to my hospital bed. He flashes a bright smile that soothes me somehow.<br /> "Where am I?" I continued to look around and my eyes gets to answer the question that had escape from my lips. I am in the hospital and I can't believe that I have these medical things attached on my body.<br /> I hold on to my dextrose and was about to take them off when Beau stopped me.<br /> "Don't. You need that in order to gain some energy for your body." I smirked at him and continue to pull the needle out of my veins. Soon, I realized why he didn't want me to take these thing off.<br /> My wolf is too weak to heal me, but it's too late. I can put it back on my own. We are gonna need to call a nurse to put it back on me but I don't want anyone in my room at the moment.<br /> I pushed my upper body to get up from the bed and sit. Beau was quick to assist me. He put a pair of pillow to support my back.<br /> "I already know why I am here but why are you here? I can't remember how I got here," I said. The last thing that I can remember is me walking out of the pack house's gate.<br /> "Warren called me. He said you need me. When I arrived to pick you up. I saw you unconscious in front of their gate. It was raining. Would you mind telling me what happened? Why the guards let you in such state? What happened to your wolf, Estelle?"<br /> I looked away from his eyes. If there's someone I can never lie too. It's Beau. He can tell wether I am lying to him or not and I don't really want to talk about it.<br /> "I thought you'd prefer these over the hospital food. I got you your favorite pasta," he said.<br /> I immediately grab the paperbag from his hand. The pesto cheered me up somehow and it gave me energy too. Just when I was about to take the last bite from its aesthetically pleasing container. He opened his palm before my eyes, asking for something.<br /> I looked up to him with confusion dwelling in my eyes. "Hmm?"<br /> "Your phone. I will keep it for the mean time?" My eyebrow crane up.<br /> "Why would you want to keep my phone?"<br /> "Just give it to me. Deal with Theon and everything once you are well for the mean time. I want you to focus on getting better. I am not used in seeing you like this. I want the energetic and happy Lucianna Estelle." I pouted my lips. I already saw my phone on the table next to my hospital bed so I do know where to get them. Seconds after giving it to Beau. He turned it off and then he gestured me to finish eating my food.<br /> "You still eat like a kindergarten. I can't believe that you were to become the Luna of that pack," Beau said it mindlessly and when he realize that he said something that he shouldn't have. He presses his lips together.<br /> "I will go get something that you can use to clean up your face," he mumbled, changing the topic to ease the awkwardness between us.<br /> "No. Nevermind. I got it." I grabbed a wet wipes from the side table and clean myself. I decided that washing my face would be better and so I left my room to do it so in the comfort room because my room does not have one.<br /> "Have you seen the article about the Sullivans? It's crazy. From the moment I saw the second young master's wife. I know that she's no good. Just by seeing her gives me the irks." Hearing those nurse gossiping about me in the hallway made me stop from walking. I had to hide myself in the corner just so they wouldn't see me.<br /> "She is basically a murderer. She killed her sister-in law's baby. The only thing that is left to remind her of her late husband. I am glad that the heir to the throne is divorcing her. I don't like the Lucianna Estelle to become the Luna of the city and rule together with Alpha Theon. I'd rather have the soon to be Alpha married his brother's ex-wife than stick with her good for nothing wife..." they continued to talk about me.<br /> "But aren't they mated to each other? Theon and Estelle?"<br /> "Theon probably rejected her. Her wolf is struggling that is why she's here," said by the other nurse before they giggle as if my suffering brings them nothing but absolute joy.<br /> "These people. How dare them insult you like that. They know nothing." Beau was about to approach them when I managed to pulled his hand and make him stay by my side. I look at him and shake my head, telling him not to do anything about it.<br /> "I need a way more important favor from you, Atty. Beaumont Meadows. Will you help me with my divorce." Beau stared at me with his mouth half-opened.<br /> "You were the one who asked for divorce?"<br /> "Yes."<br /> Beau pulled me into a warm hug and whispers, "Finally." | LEARN_MORE | https://c.read4funs.com/ad/aXJvbWFuY2UvMTY0NjYyLzI | 193365490526262 | ForFun-120 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 72 | 1 | 1,118,450,559,360,334 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | ForFun-120 | 120210564767420664 | c.read4funs.com | NONE | video | https://c.read4funs.com/ad/aXJvbWFuY2UvMTY0NjYyLzIwMjQwNDI4MTAyMTU4L3BhZ2U=?adid={{ad.id}} | 2024-04-27 21:34 | https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/438216067_964301638527551_7992267845059503867_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=E8alUiZorhwQ7kNvgEugTD5&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfDIZlBdjZ5bNPsFXQW0ulvpWmVjt_3JbWfTdLr-8gpd4Q&oe=663A741F | person_profile | 0 | ForFun-120 | https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/438230893_3312629125698123_5567087792289223908_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=UvvmZak8eUAQ7kNvgGb83-v&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfCbiwcMkp7MjGbudQZ_yrkJnRjMiU8ZwDCwdHh1urwjZw&oe=663A7DCD | 0 | 3 | ForFun-120 | 0 | 0 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||

You have Khalis here to take care of all your needs. She is welcome to you. I hope you all will be very happy together. As for me, I'm done. Good luck to you and this pack. I hope you can handle the fallout for you and your bimbo's actions."<br /> "Mind how you talk to me, Zell. I may be your mate, but I am still the alpha. As a matter of fact, as of right now, I am stripping you of all of your luna privileges."<br /> I spat. "You should know, you didn't deprive me of Luna's title, but I didn't want it myself. I no longer want it. As for the business, have you forgotten that I own 51% of every business we have? I will withdraw all of my personal finances from the pack."<br /> "Oh, and Alpha, You, of all people, know how ruthless I can be if pushed."<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> "Well Zel, I just wanted to let you know that I plan on being the Luna of this pack, and your days as Kosta's mate and luna are numbered. I have decided that I deserve to be luna of the third strongest pack in the nation. I mean why should you get everything and I get stuck with nothing?" Khalis says.<br /> <br /> Is this bimbo serious? I just sat there staring at her for a few seconds. Not much shocks me, but this is something else. I knew Khalis was selfish, but this is on a whole other level. There have been rumors about Khalis sleeping with mated males, but I always gave her the benefit of the doubt. I never thought we would be having this kind of conversation. We have been friends since elementary school. Her father and brothers are elite warriors in my father's pack. She was with me when Kosta declared we were mates. She even encouraged me to go with him when he begged me and my father to let me come to his pack with him before I turned 18. She moved to this pack with me, hoping to meet her own mate. She knows Kosta is my fated mate. The moon goddess chose for him me. We both have known Kosta for most of our lives. Kosta is one of my brother's best friends. I keep thinking about everything we have done together and now this bimbo is sitting in my office telling me she plans to take my mate. I'm really speechless. This is a new low, even for her.<br /> <br /> "Just so that I am clear, what exactly do you mean that you want my goddess-given mate and title," I asked.<br /> <br /> "I mean exactly what I said. I want Kosta. I want to be his luna and I am going to make that happen. I've already started the process. I deserve to be a luna."<br /> <br /> "So you just want to come in here and tell me that you want my mate? What about your own mate? Have you thought about that? If the goddess meant for you to be a luna, you would have been fated to an alpha."<br /> <br /> "I waited for my mate. I gave the goddess a chance to do right by me. She gave everyone around me an Alpha. My sister got one, my little ugly cousin got one and even you got one, but what did I get? I got a lowly elite warrior as a mate." She spat.<br /> <br /> "How can you speak like that about elite warriors? Your father and your brother are elite warriors."<br /> <br /> "I know, and I deserve better than that. I deserve to be a luna. I deserve to have people respect me and cater to me."<br /> <br /> "Well, obviously the goddess did not agree with you," I said. "Just to clarify, you're saying that even though you found your destined mate, the one that was made specifically for you by the goddess, you're still interested in my mate? You are unbelievable. What is wrong with you?"<br /> <br /> "It's simple. I'm not meant to be the mate of a warrior. I am meant to be a luna. The moon goddess got it wrong and I am correcting her mistake. As soon as I scented my fated mate and realized he was a warrior, I rejected him and he accepted my rejection. Good riddance."<br /> <br /> "So you think you know better than the goddess?" I asked.<br /> <br /> I am still somewhat shocked. I have a hard time reconciling this cold-blooded bimbo to the person that has been my best friend for over a decade.<br /> <br /> "Zell, I told you a long time ago not to trust her. She has always been this person. She just pretended with you." Sapphire said.<br /> <br /> "This isn't personal, Zell. It's simple since the moon goddess did not give me an alpha, I'm going to take one."<br /> <br /> This bimbo is sitting here calmly telling me she is going to take my mate from me like we are talking about going shopping. She actually thinks this is ok. How could I have been so blind for so long? Everyone tried to warn me about her, but she was my only friend and I just didn't want to believe that about her. I convinced myself that the others were just jealous of her.<br /> <br /> "Do you really think it is ok to try to break your best friend's mate bond?" I say.<br /> <br /> "Oh Honey, I'm not going to try. I'm going to do it. He will be mine. I'm just giving you the courtesy of walking away with your dignity. You might as well start making arrangements for yourself because once I am the luna, there is no way that I will let you remain in my pack. He may keep some tender feelings for you. After all, you are fated."<br /> <br /> "You got one thing right; Kosta and I are fated. You are not the first she-wolf to try to break our mate bond and since he is an alpha, I'm sure you won't be the last. I will tell you what I tell them all, If you can get Kosta to cheat on our bond, you can have him. If he can do that, then he is not the man I have believed him to be and wouldn't deserve me. You would be welcome to him. Just remember, it is because of me and my family that this pack is ranked third. All of that goes with me, but you would be more than welcome to whatever is left." I say.<br /> <br /> "It's not an if, it's a when it happens. And when you leave, Kosta will still be the alpha of this pack. You will just be the ex-luna of the pack. I will be the luna."<br /> <br /> "That's where you are wrong. I am alpha born; a pure-blooded alpha. If I leave, I will still be an alpha and you will still be that bimbo on the side. Some males may be dumb enough to sleep with you, but I have not seen any of the mate men you've been accused of leaving their mates for you. Even the ones who got rejected didn't choose to be with you. Now I suggest you leave my office while I am still being nice or else you will find out why I am feared by others. And if you are successful, don't think for a minute that my family will let either of you go."<br /> <br /> "I will leave for now. Enjoy this office while it is still yours. Your arrogance will be your downfall. Why should I fear you or your family? They have not even been around since your luna ceremony. I'll give you 1 week to make arrangements for yourself. In 7 days, all of this will be mine and you will be out. I will break you and completely disgrace you. I have to thank you for working so hard to build this pack up for me to take over. I will be sure to enjoy the fruit of your labor. I and my children will enjoy this. I am glad he listened to me early on when I told him to wait to have children so you could live your life first. I had to set the groundwork just in case. Now it's time for you to go before you give him an heir." Khalis says and walks out of my office like nothing happened.<br /> <br /> She has caused a lot of chaos since coming to this pack. I just didn't realize her character before now. I thought she was misunderstood. Now I know I was just naรฏve. It appears that I was the only person blind to her true nature.<br /> <br /> I spent the rest of the day working on pack security and setting up meetings. There are a few alphas wanting an alliance with us. Kosta and I have become quite the power couple in the werewolf society. Since we took over as alpha and luna, the pack and the businesses have grown tremendously. I put my heart and soul into making our pack the best. I got an early start. I graduated from high school when I was 16 and went to university. I graduated with a business degree at 20. Kosta has let me take the lead in our businesses. He knows that beast at negotiation and a whiz at growing businesses. I have acquired several new companies since working in the pack business. Kosta is still the CEO, but I am the COO of the company. I broker the deals and then call Kosta in to close the deal. Most alphas in our circle are jealous of Kosta because he has me at his side. Kosta used to be proud of me and what I did for the pack, but lately he has been resisting the changes I have been making and trying to take over more of the daily operations of the pack. He can't take it all because I am the sole financial backing of the pack and the businesses.<br /> <br /> I am known in werewolf society as a child prodigy, but don't get it twisted, I am not all brains. I can be very deadly when needed. I train every day. I am one of the strongest wolves alive, although I keep that hidden. I can be ruthless, but fair. I know that I am the total package. I am athletic, tall with curves in the right places. I've never been one to compete with other she-wolves. I thought I was happy and had a good life. I thought Khalis was happy. We used to talk about finding our fated mates. I just can't understand how or why Khalis would try to come between me and my mate. I wish I could believe that my bond was safe and solid, but Sapphire is right about Kosta acting suspiciously lately. Kosta has been questioning me a lot lately. It's like he woke up a different person one day. He suddenly lost trust in me, but I have never given him a reason to doubt me. I have found him outside of my door listening to business phone calls, which is crazy because he could just walk in at any time and join the conversation. I have never hidden anything I was doing from him. The worse thing is that our life is now nonexistent. Kosta is always too busy or too tired. His behavior has led me to believe that he is not attracted to me anymore. He had the nerve to ask me why I have been trying so hard to seduce him lately. Like he didn't just stop making love to me cold turkey all of a sudden. We went from making love every day, sometime multiple times a day, to nothing in over a month. Seems like he should have been worried if I didn't try to seduce him. I don't know any mated pair that has gone this long without being intimate with each other. I don't know what the issue is. If we were not marked, I would wonder if he was cheating, but I know he is not. I would have felt it. Why did all of this suddenly become so hard? Why do I even need to seduce my goddess-given mate? It was never supposed to be this way. At least not yet. I'm only 20 years old. Much too young to be going through a dry spell while mated.<br /> <br /> I got so desperate at one time I asked our friends what was going on with him. Kosta tells his beta and gamma everything. I figured if there was a problem, they would tell me and I could fix it, but they just said that he was under a lot of stress. What exactly does he have to stress about? The pack is doing better than it has been in years. In half a year, the pack will be self-sufficient again and won't need to depend on my finances to keep it afloat. I have everything set in motion for the pack to have more disposable cash and residual income. I have a feeling this has Khalis written all over it. Kosta appears to have fallen in line with her already. Maybe this was their plan all along. Kosta needed me to get his pack back on track and now that they are almost completely independent, they don't need me anymore. If that's the case, they are in for a rude awakening. My six-month plan depends on me closing several more deals. All of these deals are allies with my father, uncle, and grandfather. They will not work with Kosta if our bond falls apart. He would erase everything that I have done over the past three years. Well, that would be his problem.<br /> <br /> I got so caught up in working and thinking; I didn't realize I worked up to dinner time. No one called me for lunch. In fact, no one called me for dinner. That is strange. One of the omegas usually checks on me when I am working too much and makes sure I am eating. I guess everyone is following Kosta. Since he has not been showing me any care, they are not either. That really hurts. I sacrificed a lot for this pack. I thought they cared more than this for me. I should just go back to my room. I don't know if I want to be around this pack right now, especially if they could turn their backs on me this quickly. Were they all just using me for my family's wealth?<br /> <br /> "We need to eat Zell. Remember, we are eating for our pup as well. Don't let them win. We are better than this. If they show us they don't want us here, we will leave. Remember, we are alpha born. We will rise above this. We will go back to where we are celebrated. If they turn against us, they don't deserve us. We will sit back and let them destroy themselves."<br /> <br /> "You are right Sapphire. Let's go eat. Our pup needs sustenance."<br /> <br /> I went and cleaned myself up and walked to the dining room. As soon as I walked through the door, all the talking stopped. The whole place went silent. As I walked all the way in, I saw why everyone went silent. Khalis was sitting in my seat, putting food on Kosta's plate like she is the luna. When she saw me, she just smirked and kept doing what she was doing. Kosta just keep eating like I was not standing there. Sapphire stared, pushing forward. She wanted blood. I did too, but I have to think about our pup.<br /> <br /> "What is going on, Kosta? Why is she sitting in my seat feeding you?" I growled.<br /> <br /> "I meant no harm, Zell. You were busy, so I decided to take care of Kosta for you. Someone needs to care for him while you are caring for other things. "<br /> <br /> "I was speaking to my mate, not his bimbo on the side."<br /> <br /> "You were not here for your mate, so I have been taking care of his needs."<br /> <br /> Sapphire pushed forward and growled loudly. Everyone in the room bowed their neck to her.<br /> <br /> "I could kill you in less than 30 seconds, Khalis. I would advise you not to keep crossing my line and you will find yourself very dead. You obviously have forgotten who I am. Don't make me remind you what my family name is," Sapphire said.<br /> <br /> I regained control and looked at Kosta. He didn't even appear to be concerned. He didn't show an ounce of regret or remorse. That took a little of the fight out of me. Khalis can only do what Kosta allows her to do.<br /> <br /> "Kosta, I asked you a question. What is going on?"<br /> <br /> "As Khalis said, you were busy, so she came to do your job for you. If you spent more time catering to me, your mate, and less time working or whatever you are doing, Khalis wouldn't have to step in and take care of my needs." Kosta said.<br /> <br /> I and every pack member gasped. I could not believe he openly disrespected me like that after everything I have done for him and this pack. I did all of that for him. This ungrateful hip.<br /> <br /> "So now I'm working too much, making your pack financially secure? You were not complaining when the pack was bankrupted and I worked day and night just so you could feed the pack another day. I was working too hard then. It's only now that you think the pack is out of the woods that I am working too hard. Now that everyone is comfortable and not at risk of starving, you want to change. Ok, I see who you are now. So instead of appreciating the sacrifices I made for us and the pack, you are sitting here with your bimbo, enjoying the feast that my hard work made possible. I am glad I finally understand where your priorities lie. Trust me, I will never make the same mistake twice." I said and walked away.<br /> <br /> I need to get out of here before I wolf out and kill one of them. After tonight, Khalis can have him. He is not the male I thought he was. I refuse to fight for someone who can spit on all the effort I put into making him great.<br /> <br /> "Don't walk away from me, Zell," Kosta yelled.<br /> <br /> "Why not? You don't need me. You have Khalis here to take care of all your needs. She is welcome to you. I hope you all will be very happy together. As for me, I'm done. Good luck to you and this pack. I hope you can handle the fallout for you and your bimbo's actions."<br /> <br /> "Mind how you talk to me, Zell. I may be your mate, but I am still the alpha. As a matter of fact, as of right now, I am stripping you of all of your luna privileges."<br /> <br /> "Alpha, what are you doing?" Beta James asked<br /> <br /> "Mind your business Beta. This is my pack." Kosta says.<br /> <br /> "Yes, and as your beta and friend, it is my job to tell you when you are making a mistake. Alpha, you are dangerously close to crossing the line of no return. Let's all calm down and discuss this later." Beta James said.<br /> <br /> "Beta, my word stands. Zel, until you learn to respect me as your alpha, you can forget about representing this pack in any aspect. I will be instructing the security team to restrict all of your access. You are no longer the COO of our businesses. As of now, you are just a regular pact member with no power."<br /> <br /> "First of all Alpha." I spat. "Respect is earned. While you are trying to throw your weight around, you can have the luna title back. I no longer want it. As for the business, have you forgotten that I own 51% of every business we have? I also provide 60% of the pack budget from my personal accounts. So while you can restrict my duties as Luna, you cannot touch the business, but I'll do you a solid. You can buy me out of the business and I will withdraw all of my personal finances from the pack."<br /> <br /> I can see that he had forgotten how dependent his pack was on me, but oh well. He made his bed. Now he and his bimbo can lie in it.<br /> <br /> "Oh, and Alpha, if you try to strong-arm me, I will have to call in the full loan that I gave this pack when we mated. Remember, we signed a contract for the loan. You have only paid me a small portion of the loan and I have not pushed the issue, but the contract is legal and binding. Don't push me, Kosta. You, of all people, know how ruthless I can be if pushed."<br /> <br /> I walked off again and made it as far as the stairs. I realized that I could not stay in my current room anymore. There is no way on this goddess-green earth that I want to be in a room with Kosta. Not that he has really shared it with me lately. Now I know why. Khalis has been feeding him and he has been eating it up. They both miscalculated. They thought I would be leaving here with nothing. The jokes on them. I may have been in love, but there is no love in business. I may have put my all into saving this pack and making it independently wealthy, but my parents did not raise a fool and I protected my finances. I invested millions in this company and pack. Did he really think I would protect my money? Does he not remember the prenup my father made him sign since I was a minor when he brought me to this pack? He never gained control over my finances.<br /> <br /> Khalis just showed her hand. After what I just saw, she has a right to be confident. Kosta has completely changed. He is not the man that I mated. He is not the boy that I followed around when I was younger. I don't know what happened or when he changed. Maybe this is who he really is and, like with Khalis, I just never saw his true self. He must have hidden it from my father and brother as well. There is no way they would have let me come here when I was 17 if they knew this was how he would end up treating me. I can see now that it is over between Kosta and me. I need to start planning my exit. I pulled up my computer and moved all of my finances from the pack accounts. I closed all the joint accounts I had with Kosta. It was mostly my money that financed them. I left the ones that he financed in his name. I don't want anything from him at all. After I handle business, I call my brother. I will need his help to leave here safely. Now that Kosta knows that all the money is still tied up with me, I doubt he will let me leave easily. I'm sure he and the bimbo are plotting up something.<br /> <br /> I called my brother and tall him waht happened.<br /> <br /> "So what's the plan, baby sis?" my brother answered.<br /> <br /> "Well, I have already moved all of my personal money from the pack accounts. They are now responsible for themselves. I'm not sure how that is going to go over. I was covering most of the pack's budget. Tomorrow, I will contact my attorneys to protect all of my other assets. I also plan to call our allies and let them know that I am no longer associated with the pack. I am erasing everything I've done over the past three years. They will need to start over from scratch and rebuild it all on their own. There is no way they will get to enjoy my hard work. No, sir."<br /> <br /> "Very smart Zell. What do you need me to do?" | LEARN_MORE | https://b.penguinovels.com/ad/cGVuZ3VpbnMvMTY0NjUx | 212509105269007 | Guin112 | https://facebook.com/61554651037723 | 20 | 1 | 1,340,843,306,608,966 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | Guin112 | 120209513450060529 | b.penguinovels.com | NONE | video | https://b.penguinovels.com/ad/cGVuZ3VpbnMvMTY0NjUxLzIwMjQwNDI4MTAyMTQzL3BhZ2U=?adid={{ad.id}} | 2024-04-27 21:33 | https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/438196884_868565875030377_7026879616933781514_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=oBUC5yoKrJ8Q7kNvgHTn1DN&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.xx&oh=00_AfCjLfVeaWKqyxWw9LGVISz76XcsZQj1dLJepDpDnGhVAQ&oe=663A7A12 | person_profile | 0 | Guin112 | https://scontent-atl3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440424642_1098216397958133_396181819288247574_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=9d9E1fD7PmAQ7kNvgFCOArS&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-2.xx&oh=00_AfB1-NNpYUka8g6_QGLBrl0yUvWlZ_fGOvUEbQC_9f3oJw&oe=663A6FBA | 0 | 3 | Guin112 | 0 | 0 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||

The Alpha of the Midnight Fire pack."<br /> Mate!<br /> I flinch in recognition, an eerie feeling of hope filling me. Conflicting with the sense of rejection, it's too much. <br /> How can my wolf be so happy when I feel like complete mass right now?<br /> "That was-- the Alpha?" I whisper.<br /> "Your mate," Dad states, getting to his feet abruptly.<br /> "What--" I huff, pushing the breakfast tray aside.<br /> "You heard me, Alanna. I saw the look in your eyes when you saw him from the truck. Your eyes were glowing...and so were his. That only happens when you first set eyes on your mate."<br /> Dad towers over the bed once more, arms crossed over his chest as I watch me with a knowing smile.<br /> "That's impossible!" I insist, avoiding eye contact.<br /> "No, it isn't. And you're blushing."<br /> "Well, we've been invited to his house. He wants to meet you face to face."<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Alanna's POV<br /> I've been waiting for this night for as long as I can remember. Tonight, the packs will finally know about Kurt and I.<br /> "Aly, we have to leave soon. Kurt said he'll pick you up at eight." Ryan, my older brother repeats in exasperation.<br /> I'm too busy attacking my auburn locks with a flat iron, wondering if my navy dress is formal enough for this evening. I wouldn't want Kurt to think I'm underdressed, especially since he's deciding to make such an important announcement at such a prestigious event.<br /> It's the annual Moonlight Gala, the one night where all twelve werewolf packs in the country are reunited. Whether we like it or not, all of us must get along and the Moonlight Gala is an attempt to encourage social relations between each pack. Only high ranking pack members are allowed to attend, which is why this is such a big deal for me.<br /> Kurt and I are not mates. We've been dating for over a year and we couldn't be happier.<br /> Despite his position as Alpha, Kurt has the same beliefs as me - mates are a myth, they don't exist. By taking me as his 'plus one' to the Moonlight Gala, he's making a statement. I'm the girl he wants to be with and no supposed soulmate can change that. I am his soulmate.<br /> "I think you're making a big mistake, Aly." Reese, my other brother chips in.<br /> I continue to feign ignorance, pausing to glance briefly at my twin brothers who are both staring back in concern, their identical faces showing disapproval. As senior pack fighters, Ryan and Reese are on good terms with Kurt. However, they can't stop him from seeing me. I know they're starting to dislike Kurt due to his audacity by dating me so openly.<br /> "This is my life, guys. My choice. My decision." I hate being so stuck up with my brothers. The three of us are inseparable and any spats between us are usually light hearted.<br /> "Aly, one day ... Kurt will find his mate. He's an Alpha. Do you really think he'll ditch the future Luna of this pack for a teenage romance?" Ryan refuses to give up, his tanned features turning red.<br /> I slam the flat irons down on the dresser, refusing to take the bait. They'll never understand what Kurt and I share. No-one will. I walk past their towering frames, slipping on my black stilettos.<br /> "If it were up to us, we'd put a stop to this. Dad would put a stop to this." Reese adds, scratching his shaven chin.<br /> That's when I cave in, huffing indignantly.<br /> "Well he can't. None of you can!" I snap, losing what little composure I have.<br /> Ryan and Reese blink in surprise, slightly hurt by my temperamental reaction. I'm never like this, I'm usually so calm, this whole situation has been throwing me off for the past few months. Instantly, I regret losing temper. They're only looking out for me.<br /> "Dad is Kurt's Beta." I whisper calmly, smoothing my hair down. "Therefore he can't question Kurt's actions. He can't stop us from being together, so he'll just have to deal with it."<br /> We're interrupted by a brisk knock on my bedroom door. My father pokes his head around the corner, the signature frown present on his broad face.<br /> "Alanna, Kurt is here. Don't keep the Alpha waiting." His disapproving eyes scan my appearance, frown growing harsher.<br /> "I'm ready." I nod, reaching for my clutch purse.<br /> There's nothing else left to say and to avoid another argument, it's easier to leave without another word. Dad steps aside, ready to let me pass.<br /> "Think about what you're doing, Alanna." He states, grabbing my elbow firmly. "This will end badly and you'll be the one with the tainted reputation."<br /> Don't overreact. He's just doing his part as the concerned parent. We should listen to him.<br /> I ignore my wolf, tuning out her protests. She's waiting for our 'mate' and according to her, Kurt is a waste of time. Even his Alpha status isn't attractive to her and wolves love power and dominance.<br /> "I'll see you guys at the Gala." I mutter tersely, prising my arm out of Dad's grip without looking back.<br /> He reluctantly lets me go with a deep sigh. I leave my family standing in my bedroom in awkward silence as I hurry down the stairs to meet Kurt in the manicured driveway.<br /> He's sat in his sleek sports car, nodding his head to the thumping rap music as he checks his appearance for the hundredth time, spiking up his short, corn blonde hair.<br /> He senses my presence as soon as I close the front door, leaning out of the window with a lazy grin. As I approach the car, he flashes his all-American smile in my direction with a wink of his cerulean eyes.<br /> "Hey babe, you look hot." He calls, as I walk around the car and open the door, slipping inside.<br /> You know what else they call a babe? A pig. So technically, he compared us to a pig.<br /> I hush my wolf silently, wishing she'd give up with the snide comments already. Yes, I know she hates Kurt but he's our Alpha and she has to respect him.<br /> He didn't even bother getting out of the car to open your door.<br /> "You ready, Aly?" Kurt asks lightly, squeezing my knee in affection. He starts the car, reversing out of the driveway and speeding off down the road, ready to make the fifteen minute journey to the manor where the Gala will be held.<br /> "Of course, babe. I'm so glad we're going together." I emphasise the word, trying to annoy my wolf. She responds with a growl, showing her distaste regarding my choice of words.<br /> "Good, I can't wait to show you off to the other Alphas." Kurt waggles his eyebrows playfully, making me giggle. Of course, I don't cackle like I usually do. Instead, I use my girly, reserved tone because I know he hates my real laugh.<br /> Oink oink. Stop acting like a Barbie doll. I love your laugh.<br /> "How come we're leaving without the rest of the pack?" I inquire, wondering why Kurt insisted on picking me up so early. The Gala doesn't start till late.<br /> "As Alpha, I have to turn up a little early. The Gala's being held on our turf this year, so I need to greet all the other packs personally." He grumbles, rolling his eyes as he steps on the accelerator, zooming down the dark country road.<br /> He's not our Alpha. He never will be. He's just a pretender.<br /> Stop making this so difficult! Why can't you just agree with me for once?<br /> I'm just stating what everybody else thinks. This fool will never be the great Alpha his father was.<br /> Michael is gone. Kurt's taken over and he's doing a decent job despite being so young, while having to deal with his father's death. Now stop it.<br /> "I was thinking, we should go away for a while. A vacation." Kurt unknowingly disrupts the mental argument I'm having with my wolf.<br /> "I'd love that." My smile fades instantly. "But I don't think Dad would approve."<br /> "Mike can't object." Kurt insists arrogantly, raising an eyebrow in superiority. "As my Beta, he has to listen to everything I say."<br /> Prick.<br /> --<br /> "I can't keep my hands off you." Kurt whispers in my ear, his breath tickling my skin.<br /> "Well you'll have to. We've got a sea of werewolves watching our every move and my Dad's pacing the halls like a madman every time he looks at us." I murmur back, placing a hand over his larger one.<br /> He tightens his grip on my waist, grabbing a delicate flute of champagne from a waiter. I study my shoes nervously, wondering if I've done the right thing by showing up here.<br /> Every werewolf regarded me with a shocked expression as I stood by Kurt's side, letting him welcome each pair to the event. There are thousands of people present, all hailing from every corner of the country.<br /> Alanna, this is a big mistake. You're ruining your reputation. These people think you're a side chick.<br /> I'm silent, beginning to agree with my wolf for once.<br /> So far, eleven out of the twelve packs have show up. In the process, each Alpha and Luna of their respective packs have silently judged me like I'm some sort of escort. I'm such an idiot, thinking I can parade around here like I'm attached to Kurt's hip. Everyone will disapprove and unsurprisingly, they all do.<br /> Maybe I should leave, I don't think I can take the glares and whispering any longer. Kurt won't be happy but this is a minefield that I'd rather dodge before the damage becomes irreparable.<br /> "Where's the Alpha of the Midnight Fire pack?" I recall the name of the remaining pack who are yet to arrive, looking up at Kurt's face. He pulls a face, snorting derisively.<br /> "You mean that prick, Dante Pelosi? He never turns up, sends his Betas along instead. Must be intimidated by me." Kurt announces loudly, catching the attention of a few people.<br /> "I don't think I've ever met him." I mumble to myself, studiously ignoring the group of girls shaking their heads and pointing in my direction as lean in and gossip.<br /> The tinkering chimes of broken glass makes me jump, as I look around for the source of the noise. Kurt's deep exhale of breath grabs my attention as I peer up at him, taken aback by the dumbstruck look on his face.<br /> It's him who is responsible for the noise, his shattered champagne glass at his feet. Kurt's mouth hangs open, his thunderstruck look refusing to let up.<br /> "Kurt?" I call anxiously.<br /> He doesn't reply, blinking repeatedly as he automatically lets go of me, stepping away.<br /> "Kurt?!" I repeat, trying to follow his line of vision. What's gotten him in such a state?<br /> "Mate." He grunts, his cerulean eyes shimmering brightly.<br /> I can feel my heart pounding, as if fissures are already starting to emerge with each palpitation. This can't be happening. This was meant to be our chance to declare our love. How can this be happening to me? Kurt loves me, he already said he doesn't want his mate.<br /> "Mine." Kurt breathes, moving further away from me and stepping forward.<br /> "Mine." A girlish voice repeats, echoing faintly through the palatial banquet hall.<br /> I gasp uncontrollably, my body shaking as I watch a petite woman step out of the throngs of people, approaching Kurt with a similar, glassy eyed look. They stop in front of each other as if they're long lost lovers, finally reunited.<br /> Aly, we need to leave. Don't put yourself through this.<br /> Kurt pulls the pretty girl towards him, planting a passionate peck on her lips. She melts into his touch, responding with equal ferocity. They continue to eat each other's faces and I'm frozen to the spot, unable to look away as I watch the love of my life smooch another woman.<br /> Tears are running silently down my face as I shudder from the silent sobs emitting from my body. I'm aware that every pair of eyes are trained on me, watching my reaction to this public embarrassment I'm facing. Whispers fill the hall, growing louder and louder until the room is positively buzzing.<br /> "Aly, come on. We're leaving." Ryan's angry voice whispers.<br /> My brothers appear out of nowhere, each of them flanking my side protectively. I still can't move, unable to tear my eyes away from Kurt while he continues to smooch us newly found mate. I think I'm going to be sick, bile and humiliation rising in my throat.<br /> Reese and Ryan pull me way from the heartbreaking scene, forcing my attention to the crowd of stunned onlookers.<br /> "What are you looking at?!" Reese spits at some stranger, causing some of the chatter to fade.<br /> I'm quickly escorted out of the building, Ryan pausing to lift me into his arms as I stagger dangerously on my heels. My sobs grow louder and my wolf is solemnly silent, letting me grieve. I bury my face into Ryan's shoulder, sniffling. They were right, everyone was right.<br /> "Let's go home." Reese mutters, a faint jangle of car keys accompanying his rapid footsteps.<br /> Somehow, we make it to the busy parking lot, ignoring the curious valets. I look over Ryan's shoulder, glancing back at the retreating lights of the impressive manor. Somewhere inside, Kurt is fawning over his mate while I'm left to pick up the pieces. The very thought is enough to set me off again.<br /> "Come on Aly, he's not worth it." Ryan whispers sadly, hugging me tighter.<br /> We make it to the Reese's monster truck and Ryan flings the door open settling me in the back seat and following suit. Reese jumps into the front, starting up his beloved truck with its familiar roars.<br /> I'm leaning against Ryan, letting my brother pat my back in comfort. He says nothing more, a pained expression marring his face. I know Reese must look the same, although I can't see him. His hands grip the steering wheel tightly, back stiff with anger.<br /> "Alanna?" Dad's muffled voice calls in concern.<br /> Wiping my nose, I look out of the large window to find Dad approaching the truck, accompanied by a tall figure. The sidelights of the truck illuminate their profiles and I find my father looking unsettled and flustered for first time ever.<br /> "He found his mate!" Reese roars in disgust, thrusting a thumb back in the direction of the manor, for Dad's benefit.<br /> Dad closes his eyes in expectance, nodding as if he was waiting for this to happen.<br /> "Take your sister home. I'll be back soon."<br /> Without another word, he looks back at the anonymous figure still shrouded in darkness behind him.<br /> It can't be ...<br /> My wolf is restless, yipping in excitement and making a fuss. It's wreaking havoc on my emotions, my wolf seemingly giddy with elation while I try to deal with my fresh heartbreak.<br /> The mysterious figure steps forward, finally revealing themselves.<br /> My soft sobs are halted immediately, mouth going dry. My eyes widen in shock as a delicious feeling of warmth invades my body, stretching from the crown of my head to the tips of my toes.<br /> Staring back at me stands a breathtakingly gorgeous man, golden eyes gleaming wickedly in the artificial light. His strong, ethereal features are marred with shock as he's rooted to the spot, his tousled dark brown hair ruffling gently in the breeze.<br /> I gasp at the funny sensations taking over me and I feel like jumping out of the truck and throwing myself at him. His broad, imposing body is tense, unmoving as he portrays every emotion I'm feeling.<br /> Reese begins to move the car, cruising slowly past this delectable man. I lock eyes with him properly, every ounce of air being knocked out of me.<br /> "Mine." I hear a deep, sensual voice float towards me.<br /> Reese floors it, forcing the large truck forward and leaving the elusive man behind.<br /> "Wait--" I protest.<br /> Ryan looks down at me in confusion as I crane my neck back, trying to catch one last glimpse of this gorgeous stranger.<br /> I spot his substantial figure, imposing and immovable. Darkness makes it difficult to see and he fades into distance as Reese continues to zoom away and out of the manor grounds, leaving everything behind.<br /> Mate!<br /> My wolf howls with longing, trying to take over my body and force me to shift, in an attempt to get back to the manor, back to the handsome stranger. I grab the seat in protest, remembering Kurt. The manor is the last place I should be right now.<br /> My conflicted state just makes things worse and I feel physically sick, huddling against Ryan for some sort of solace.<br /> "Alanna. Starving yourself won't change things."<br /> I huddle further underneath the covers, letting the darkness enclose me. I've been keeping a low profile these past few days, sticking to the solace of my bed.<br /> I hear Dad sigh in exasperation, the clinking of cutlery sounding out as he sets down whatever food he has. Just when I think he's given up, my snug covers are cruelly torn away from me.<br /> "Dad!" I mumble, curling up into a ball. "I'm not hungry. Please, just give me my covers back."<br /> I open an eye reluctantly, watching my Dad tower over my bed with a disapproving look. He says nothing, launching the bed covers out of the open window.<br /> "Leave me alone!" I yell, burying my face into the pillows.<br /> "No." He replies firmly.<br /> I feel the bed sink down a couple of inches, Dad deciding to take a seat near me. Clearing his throat awkwardly, I know I'm in for an uncomfortable talk.<br /> "If this is the part where you say 'I told you so', then save it. I feel like such an idiot." I whisper hoarsely.<br /> "I'm not here to rub it in, Alanna. I'm worried about you. So are your brothers. The-- the Gala ended last week and you've been hiding in your room ever since."<br /> "What else can I do? I'm the laughing stock of the whole pack, Dad. I lost both my dignity and my boyfriend in a matter of moments." My voice trembles dangerously and the warning of tears already has my Dad fidgeting.<br /> "Are you more upset about Kurt finding his mate or your reputation amongst the pack?" My father, ever the professional. Not a hint of emotion in his tone.<br /> "Both?" I snort tearfully, getting up to face him.<br /> Dad says nothing, nodding to himself. After a few seconds, he reaches for the breakfast tray and places it on my lap. Setting a spoon in the palm of my hand, he gestures for me to eat.<br /> "Dad, I'm really not hungry." I whisper.<br /> "Just a few bites, Alanna. For me?" His rare plea catches me off guard and I try my hand at a few mouthfuls.<br /> Cracking a small smile, Dad watches me force down some food. It's eerily comforting, sitting here with him after so long. We barely spend more than a few moments together nowadays.<br /> "Where are the boys?" I ask, the sudden urge to see my brothers taking over. Dad's smile vanishes instantly.<br /> "Alpha Kurt and his mate have moved in together. Her name is Claire. Her initiation ceremony into the pack is happening tonight. She will be announced as our Luna later tonight."<br /> I drop the spoon heavily, gasping in disbelief. Tears begin to form in my eyes and I blink them back angrily.<br /> "So soon?! It's only been a few days!"<br /> "Kurt wants her in the pack immediately. The boys have been issued orders to help with the function tonight." A look of anger flashes across his face. "You were also ordered to attend...but I stepped in and put my foot down."<br /> The nerve! I told you he was a jerk!<br /> "Despite everything, he still thinks I'll attend?!" I exclaim, breathing heavily. "Not once has he called or even contacted me to-- to draw a line under things! He's just tossed me aside like I meant nothing!"<br /> Dad nods, rubbing his face tiredly. Lines are starting to appear too frequently across his broad face and I wonder just how many worries he has placed on his shoulders.<br /> "Kurt has stated that he owes you nothing. What happened between you guys was a mere fling. You knew from the start that his loyalties would lie somewhere else. This was your choice from the beginning. You coerced him."<br /> "So he's trying to save his own skin now? Trying to prove to his mate that he was loyal from the start?" I scoff, wiping away my angry tears.<br /> Dad pats my shoulder tersely, back rigid with anger.<br /> "As Beta, Kurt seems to think my allegiances to him are prioritised over my daughter."<br /> "I refuse to go, Dad! I'd rather throw myself off a cliff, then be seen--"<br /> "I know, I know. And I'd never let you go there...not by yourself, anyway."<br /> Tears fall silently and I huff intermittently, feeling like a fool. Kurt has well and truly played me.<br /> "Alanna, do you remember the night of the Gala? When you were leaving with your brothers?"<br /> My stomach jolts and I nod. I remember feeling uneasy and my wolf was yipping with excitement, which I couldn't pinpoint.<br /> "Yeah...I remember seeing you with-- someone else." I pace myself, feeling butterflies for no reason.<br /> "That's right, Dante Pelosi. The Alpha of the Midnight Fire pack."<br /> Mate!<br /> I flinch in recognition, an eerie feeling of hope filling me. Conflicting with the sense of rejection, it's too much. How can my wolf be so happy when I feel like complete mass right now?<br /> "That was-- the Alpha?" I whisper.<br /> "Your mate." Dad states, getting to his feet abruptly.<br /> "What--" I huff, pushing the breakfast tray aside.<br /> "You heard me, Alanna. I saw the look in your eyes when you saw him from the truck. Your eyes were glowing...and so were his. That only happens when you first set eyes on your mate."<br /> Dad towers over the bed once more, arms crossed over his chest as me watches me with a knowing smile.<br /> "That's impossible!" I insist, avoiding eye contact.<br /> "No it isn't. And you're blushing."<br /> "Well, we've been invited to his house. He wants to meet you face to face."<br /> I gesture to my food stained pyjamas and greasy hair, shaking my head furiously. Dad just shrugs, as if there's no problem.<br /> "You have time to make yourself look presentable. This is your chance, Alanna. To avoid Kurt and his mate."<br /> "But Dad--" I insist, yet I'm cut short.<br /> "No excuses, Alanna. Be ready by seven. Presentable or not, you are going. It's either this, or the initiation."<br /> With nothing left to say, Dad leaves the room while I stare into space, absolutely bewildered.<br /> "Listen, Aly. Dad's trying to protect you." Reese explains, watching me comb my tousled locks vigorously. "I know Dante. He's a pretty cool guy; one of those modern Alphas who are destined for greatness. Nothing like Kurt."<br /> The mention of his name flips my stomach with disgust. Whatever feelings I had for that loser have been quashed. Atleast, that's what I'm trying to tell my stubborn brain.<br /> "You should wear this coral dress." Ryan adds, poking his head out of my closet and tossing the outfit towards my bed.<br /> "I don't want to." I grumble, folding my arms and ignoring the exasperated looks I'm getting. "Don't look at me like that! I'm not dolling myself up so I can be objectified."<br /> You didn't have a problem when Kurt objectified you...<br /> My wolf and her snide comments are testing my limits. She might think we've found our mate but I beg to differ. Mates don't exist, despite what everyone thinks. What Kurt suffered from was a major infatuation, not a bond.<br /> "Aly! Look, even if this wasn't an important introduction, you would still have to look presentable. Dante is one of the main Alphas and you're the daughter of a Beta. But forget all that; the bottom line is - Dante could potentially be your mate." Reese scolds me with a frown.<br /> "How do you know? How does anyone know? If you don't recall that night, we were all preoccupied. If he were my mate, I'd have felt it. I would have noticed his presence." My voice is laced with heavy sarcasm, my usual stubbornness on the topic of soulmates.<br /> "Okay, I'll accept that." Reese nods reluctantly, his serious face plastered on. "But Dad was with Dante when he first saw you. Remember, you were in the truck so maybe he didn't see enough of you to react. Dad said he had never seen Dante so restless and he only caught wind of your scent."<br /> "Don't forget your reaction." Ryan adds, lounging on my bed. "I saw you freeze up and hesitate. You couldn't resist him."<br /> I stay quiet, knowing I've been defeated. There was definitely some weird chemistry between Dante and I, that's for sure. Soulmates? Definitely not, but it could be something else.<br /> "Someone's blushing..." Reese sings, grinning at me.<br /> "No-- I'm just thinking." I reply defensively, reaching for my makeup to distract me.<br /> "Don't overthink. Go with the flow. Get ready and just give the guy a chance." Ryan talks in short bursts, jumping to his feet.<br /> "Now that you're a little more accepting, we'll leave you to get ready. You have an hour." Reese launches a scrunchie at my face, exiting the room with his super speed before I can yell at him.<br /> Ryan chuckles, pointing at the coral dress one last time and following Reese's footsteps.<br /> I face my mirror with a frown, ditching my sneaky master plan. I had been plotting to look deliberately ugly; frizzy hair, no make up and stained clothes, to put this Dante guy off. Now come to think of it, there's no reason why I have to put a dampener on my appearance. If anything, I should look extra presentable.<br /> "Prove that I still got it." I mutter to myself, the shame of Kurt's rejection getting me worked up. | LEARN_MORE | https://a.weloveread.com/ad/bG92ZXJlYWQvMTY0MjU5Lz | 111924688562390 | Lov002 | https://facebook.com/100092720766465 | 57 | 1 | 414,248,151,494,782 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | Lov002 | 120207671924540014 | a.weloveread.com | NONE | video | https://a.weloveread.com/ad/bG92ZXJlYWQvMTY0MjU5LzIwMjQwNDI4MDk0MjMxL3BhZ2U=?adid={{ad.id}} | 2024-04-27 20:49 | https://scontent.fcps4-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440352186_888464853051017_5257683872503252012_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=e4epnTBXe-kQ7kNvgElJZPB&_nc_ht=scontent.fcps4-1.fna&oh=00_AfBZg4Bz7W5oXOvhdxtnIk01_P62jg9zFq9Lu1RJppTRNg&oe=663A7A1F | person_profile | 0 | Lov002 | https://scontent.fcps4-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440121206_1115918912949765_6479083043161994003_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=fxvpnRD91soQ7kNvgGlMeO-&_nc_ht=scontent.fcps4-1.fna&oh=00_AfC1Sz5Eleqj6tVOhOdGGUsiV4auy5l-tsJn1zP_OtAEuw&oe=663A649D | 0 | 3 | Lov002 | 0 | 0 | 2024-05-02 02:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||
